Got Pfizer in April/May at Walgreen’s, scheduled booster for Monday 11/1 pretty much effortlessly. Just checked the box for “high risk of exposure due to occupation” or some such which is true. Does anyone even have to lie about anything for boosters at this point? Edit: NYS if that matters.

I live in a chud town that’s only about 50% vaxxed and sell wood to gray goateed gas station fake Oakley guys with NRA and Turmpf bumper stickers all day. Boost me up. Would rather have gotten Moderna but whatever, the sooner/closer/easier the better.

Just say you work in the school system if they ask. It's literally the easiest excuse and they aren't going to verify it. When I got mine they didn't even ask, but if they do just make up some bullshit. They don't care, they usually just need to check a box.

i just looked up the drug and its for OCD?....calling it an anti-depresent when it's literally just an SSRI family member seems disengous. No one is proscribed this if they are depressed or anxious which is majority of SSRIs (and anti-depresents......)

are they suggesting OCD medication for the general populace? side effects whatever?

is it possible that people with OCD take care to wash hands, wear masks, not leave the house? I'm not sure this proves anything and its not just another of the tens of SSRIs they use to treat people with anxiety or depression, its one approved for a very specific cause... (OCD)

this is so dumb, gently caress you CNN thanks for putting out poo poo articles.

It was literally introduced as an anti-depressant before it was approved to treat OCD.

What you're saying does not make sense. Giving people medication that is sometimes used to treat OCD as a COVID trial would cause them to behave more like your stereotype of people who have untreated OCD do? Please explain.

Also, European hospitals started giving fluoxetine and escitalopram like last January. And SSRI and SNRI are often not that chemically different from one another, it's just that the brain is a sensitive instrument, so we have come up with many.

Just tell them that you work with the general public. Don't need to say "frontline" or any of that, just that you work with people. The pharmacist at my CVS who gave me the shot didn't question me at all, I put "Work with public" for the question on why I needed a booster. I honestly just walked in and got my flu shot and booster, same day.

Technically I work in manufacturing according to worker's comp insurance. I work at a sawmill and honestly 80% of the time I sit at a desk and take phone calls and do accounting poo poo, but I do work in the mill sometimes. Plus when I'm on desk duty I have maskless contact with 10+ chud customers a day. Granted, it's outdoors (they're still salty that our office is still employees only) but I have chuds huffing and puffing in my face all day.

I don't think anyone at the pharmacy is going to bat an eye. Supply has been exceeding demand forever. A good solid 50% of the vaxxed people I know have declared that they will never get a booster because of [reasons]. I tell them to think about it as a 3 dose vaccine just like MMR but durrrrrrrrrrrrr. Just surprised that I'm first in my orbit besides my immunosuppressed mother to sign up for the booster that I know of.

You're working a public-facing job is an essential service (manufacturing/supply), that counts as a high exposure risk

Yep, exactly. As a manufacturer/POS for construction materials, we have always been considered an essential business and even though NY's lockdowns were fairly stringent ca. March 2020 it impacted us 0% - we've just closed our office to the general public voluntarily and are doing business outside because this is chud country and literally everyone who works here has a vulnerable person in their household.

The mere fact that I'm designated a "Sawmill Worker" for worker's comp purposes makes me eligible for the booster at 6 months, but I didn't get jab #1 until April because up until then it was only first responders/certain age groups/conditions/people in group homes/etc. who were eligible. As far as the booster goes just that one box I checked means I'm good to go.

It's a shopify site. Sure would suck if someone reported them for selling pharmaceuticals which shopify doesn't allow, or COVID19 misinformation

https://www.shopify.com/legal/report-aup-violation

Speaking from the experience of a decade of working for big ecommerce and web hosting providers, if you want to report them you will need to play by their rules.

https://www.shopify.com/legal/aup-definitions#RestrictedItems

Pharmaceuticals (real or otherwise) aren't on the shopify AUP restricted items list. Currently the only items restricted are (some) firearms and firearms parts.

Shopify has policies for COVID-19:

https://www.shopify.com/legal/rules-of-engagement-covid19

It may or may not violate those policies, the one it's most likely to violate is being "true" which is subjective and up to whoever's working in Shopify's policy team when the report goes in. However if several of us report it for untruthful covid-19 claims on the straight talk page ( https://www.thepeopleschemist.com/pages/straight-talk-v8 ) - and preferably spread our reports out over a week - it will have less chance of being up to a single individual's subjective opinion.

however
It most likely does not violate Shopify's policies at all because their COVID-19 restrictions are written to only be applicable to products sold through the Shopify store, which is a way ecommerce providers weasel out of shutting things down: they just tell the scummy website to avoid that stuff in the product descriptions. The Straight Talk page is separate from the storefront page. I can't find any product pages making untruthful covid claims, so this is probably something the site owner has been through already.


That being said I sent in a COVID-19 report specifically pointing out that there's a big ad for https://www.thepeopleschemist.com/products/immune-fx that says "never get sick again" stuck in the middle of a paragraph about how you don't need vaccines to avoid covid-19, which should be against their policies as written, though it may only result in that ad being removed. I also threw in several of the more insane choice quotes from the Straight Talk page and told them about the door to door spam (including photos of it)


e: Several ecommerce platforms severely relaxed their policies on what items are allowed during the pandemic because they were able to posture "but people need their meds and need to stay home!!!" to policymakers to relax the regulations on what products were restricted on ecommerce. Now there's little that stands in the way legally for selling anything online except for guns, and what items/services are restricted is mostly based on how a platform feels about that item/type of business rather than any regulatory stuff. Delivery alcohol is available pretty much everywhere now

Can you communicate your worries to her? At this point it sounds you've got nothing to lose. Best case she comes to her senses. Worst case she doesn't and you can move on (and perhaps you've made a positive impact on her future).

I got my Moderna booster today at the Walgreen's nearest my house (plus a flu shot - one in each arm). Made the appointment over the weekend, did the paperwork online. Showed up today - no questions asked. Two minutes in the side room and I was out of there. COVID arm hurts a little more than flu arm right now. We'll see what tomorrow brings...

20 hours post moderna booster. I started getting sleepy in the early evening and felt my arm getting sore right before heading to bed. Woke up in the middle of the night to extremely sore arm. Woke up in the morning with mild arm tenderness. No heat flashes or chills during the night. Closer in line to my first jab experience, which I now remember was being super tired. The booster boosted my memory.
