I would like to get the third Pfizer shot but I threw out my old vaccination card because I registered with the state and got the app with the QR code.

Anyway is this going to screw me when I show up at CVS or wherever to get the third booster?

Also I went into CVS last week to pick up a prescription and the pharmacist was giving this elderly couple a really hard time about giving them the third Moderna shot. Like asking a lot of annoying questions, asking them if they were really immunocompromised, that she needed something more specific than "lung issues", etc. Like the pharmacist looked frustrated.

I don't think she was anti vaxx or anything but is there any reason they'd be so reluctant? The only thing I can think of is they were short staffed.

Some are real fuckers about it and are being Dose Cops (they have their own subreddit where they brag about turning people away) and some really DGAF and just want to process shots as quickly as possible, it's genuinely a crap shoot. If you're getting hassled at one pharmacy just walk out and go to a different one.

The important thing is to get that new shot in your arm and maximise your titers

I booked an appointment online and went to the pharmacy in Meijer. I filled out a short questionnaire when I arrived at the store. One of the questions asked if your job or living situation puts you at a higher level of risk (which is true for me), but she never questioned what I do for work or anything. When I pulled my card out she was like "oh, great you have your card with you" which leads me to believe that people show up without it regularly.

I'm sure it's different pharmacy to pharmacy, though.

Apparently he has diabetes now, but given his size, that might be a matter of "had it, but only just got diagnosed" as much as it might be from Covid loving up his pancreas.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

A manager at my job is unvaccinated (he said he had natural immunity) and has been working from home for the last 3 weeks (!!) with Covid symptoms. Hasn't been in the hospital but we had a call with him today and he sounded really worn out and coughed a bunch.

At the end of the call he voiced his optimism that we'd get to do a face to face meeting next month.

Yeah apparently there's a fairly large percentage of the US population who are pre-diabetic or undiagnosed diabetic, it's been like that for a long long time.

I've also seen several tweets from people going "[Relative] died from covid and the hospital said they had co-morbidities/pre-exisiting conditions but that was news to us!!!!"

There are some very unhappy people where I work threatening to quit because we got the vax mandate recently too, but so far every one I know about is one of the self-important do-nothing manager types, mostly old, who probably get paid double what their replacement will... if they even bother to replace them. There will definitely be some short term disruption if 5% of the company suddenly resigns, but this is the only time I've actually felt some optimism about the future of the company in 5+ years. A lot of deadweight is threatening to voluntarily break loose right now.

Huh, three times more deaths per day than Plague Island, which has twice the population packed into half the space (and a climate basically custom-designed to exacerbate respiratory diseases). That's weird, probably just some kind of conspiracy or something.

Southwest canceled 30% of flights this weekend because the antivax union pilots are either using their PTO before they quit or using it all at once as some kind of slowdown against the mandate. Southwest is willing to say "staffing issues" but not that it is a labor dispute.

Those are the actual conditions required for Moderna #3. They aren't the same conditions as the Pfizer booster and aren't nearly as broad (currently).

The couple could have lied to check the box like the other goon did, but the pharmacist's job was to give it as directed and apparently that guy cared about doing it right. I talked to some clinic staff and apparently a lot of people just roll up like "I heard from Edna's daughter-in-law there's a booster now??" without checking if it applies to them.
