Some say they are vaccinating for polio, others say they are enhancing the baby with a 15% salt solution to increase flavor and tenderness during cooking. Whose to say which is right?

everywhere I go is 80%+ masking and vaccine mandates to enter any building. luckily schools are open though so COVID shall never leave. love that virus

Covid vaccination policy at work just dropped. Everyone who works on federal contracts, whether in office or home, needs a vaxx. Interestingly, people who are not workong on federal projects but work in the same building as those who do, still need the vaxx. If you don't meet the deadline then you're put on paid leave for two weeks and after that considered voluntarily terminated. Surprisingly harsh. Of course it still allows religious exemptions which is just priming people to take advantage of that.

2 weeks paid leave before being fired? sounds like a prime way to get 13 vacation days and still keep your job

went to russia packed into poorly ventilated buses and then spread around the country onto various midsummer festivals like a cluster bomb, lmao

all the while people were screaming about that exact thing happening, with the authorities sitting around staring dumbly. they didnt even manage to test all the fuckers at the border when everyone knew they were coming ffs. although the ones that got tested and popped positive still went to the festivals, lol

oh, and our cdc equivalent just decided that boosters are only for people over 60 and badly immunocompromised. i bet my diabetic rheumatic wife wont even be able to get one

COVID is very over at work, as long as you keep your magic mask in hand and only put it over your mouth when someone else can see you outside of your cubicle.
