Moderna booster trip report at 12 hours: lol my arm is unusable time to hit the advil and tylenol

No headache, fever, or any of that from dose 2, yet somehow a worse arm than 1/2 combined. Did take precautionary Tylenol before bed as I could feel it progressing. I preferred the military clinic's administration over CVS, those needles I couldn't even feel and this one had a touch more bite to it (flu shot-level).

And as everyone said, CVS did not give a single flying gently caress about qualifications and California, Colorado, and New Mexico are superceding the CDC and offering boosters to everyone. Go get yours!

Edit: why can't our news music be this cool

Nah I think it’s wrong to discard malice entirely as they’re probably also Anti-Semitic people who think the Jews bitch about the Holocaust too much, no like these real suffering Patriots, about it or had it coming.

The question will only come up for whichever of the two is left standing. If Grosskreutz would have shot and killed Rittenhouse, he would have had a credible claim of killing him in self-defense/defense of others because he thought he was stopping an active shooter. The law protects the last one standing, because dead people don't get to tell their side.


Unless, of course, the "wrong" person is left standing so they have to be hunted down and summarily executed before they can tell their side.

There is no symmetry, there never has been in America, the right to bear arms and self defense has always been a white man's right, and we are going back to the pre-Civil Rights era law enforcement and court structure where white conservative men are tacitly deputized to conduct white supremacist terror killings.

Right wing problems with the third reich

1) socialism in name
2) there's a meme about how the Nazis did gun control
3) killed the Jews (note to self: do NOT vocalize how this was part of God's plan to create Israel outside of level 1 trusted associates)


The yellow star thing is cause Nazis were bad (socialist) and telling people to wear masks is also bad (socialist). That's it. Thank you for participating in my guided tour of right wing thought

A document that suggested Alberta students learn about the positive aspects of Nazi Germany has been deleted from the Ministry of Education's website, following criticism from multiple groups.

The document, a set of guidelines for "recognizing diversity and promoting respect," suggested considering whether a given educational resource addressed "both the positive and negative behaviours" of various groups.

"For instance," it read, "if a video details war atrocities committed by the Nazis, does it also point out that before World War II, German government's policies substantially strengthened the country's economy?"

That said I got my 3rd Moderna shot on Thursday and other than a really sore arm on Friday, I didn't experience any side effects.

Seven hours since I got my Moderna booster and flu shot combo at the local CVS. Completely hassle free, booked a time online (there were plenty of open slots) walked in with my ID, health insurance card and CDC vax card, none of which I needed to show. One shot in each arm, in and out in less than 10 minutes.

Both arms are mildly sore. No noticeable side effects beyond that as far as I can tell.

Six months for Pfizer and Moderna recipients, two months for J&J.

J&J recipients have no further requirements. All adults who got J&J’s shot at least two months ago should (CDC’s bold) go and get a booster.

Colorado, New Mexico, and California have explicitly opened boosters to all adults who got Pfizer/Moderna second doses at least six months ago.

In other states, you’re supposed to weigh your own risk factors. Being overweight is one of them, and that’s three quarters of American adults.

Basically, boosters are appropriate for very nearly everyone, it’s just not put into so few words. If you’re six months out from your second shot and at least eighteen years of age, go and get one. Those are the only hard criteria. You will self-attest on a form at the pharmacy, “yes, a booster is appropriate for my physical and living conditions” and that’s it. You don’t have to bring pay stubs or a doctor’s note or anything like that.

If there was like a serious waiting list to get a booster then I could understand being more stringent about prioritizing the highest risk people first. But when you can sign up for a booster dose at any grocery store literally tomorrow, availability is not a major concern. You're not taking doses away from immunocompromised orphans standing in line out in the freezing snow.

Yeah that's exactly what I ended up going ahead and getting it, bonus points since it was the Moderna booster that the Youngs aren't approved for right now. If assheads are going to continue to run around unvaccinated, it makes sense to increase your protection as much as possible in a plentiful-dose environment. It's bullshit that we're not exporting (even) more doses abroad, and apparently the government-Moderna contract is a pile of fucks, but not much you can really do about that at the local office. Get your booster, fib with a clean conscience.

Around 18 hours in, I got a lighter version of the dose 2 side effects - headache, minor fever, tired as hell. I SERIOUSLY recommend hitting the Tylenol/Advil at the first sign of side effects, it really was the difference between a sore arm and an unusable arm.

That is... bleak.

How do democracies overcome the career politician class? The Ontario NDP (theoretically the progressives) are currently being led by someone who's lost every consecutive provincial election since I was old enough to vote, including most recently to Doug Ford. It creates the perspective of a party apparatus more interested in collecting steady paycheques for being the third party in the legislature instead of actually trying to win elections.

These people seem to stand for nothing except maintaining the status quo for their own benefit.
