It is loving incredible to me that the dead gay comedy forum was better at predicting what was going to happen than the loving CDC.

IMO, she should ask her to physician about getting a vaxx booster ASAP in light of being immune suppressed and if they deny her she should obtain one by other means.for

I work for a hospital chain but they're enforcing rules so she can't just say "yeah, I'm on remicaid, gimme them shots"

lots. the whole thing was pushed as a forever vaccine like polio or rubella. turns out it's more like the yearly flu shot.

Forums irony aside

I am incredibly pissed off at how this was pushed as a permanent solution and the way the CDC (in the wake of lovely consumer numbers) pushed the "the pandemic is over for immunized people and liars" back in May.

Anyone with half a loving brain who has ever had kids or ever lived through a disease outbreak knew how this would turn out. It was transparently dumb from day one.

there is every indication that this delta wave is going to the worst we've seen, and it's still summer, which should be the worst time of year for a respiratory disease to spread. then, we'll be back into winter with all the family holidays and travel that drove the massive covid wave last winter.

right now will probably be the safest time to get a booster until next spring, everyone reading this thread in the US should be getting one asap.

I burned bridges with good friends I posted with for over a decade here by saying they shouldn't go to brunch.

Okay so I cancelled my third dose appointment due to fascists in the forecast, and now I’ve got a choice to make again about what to call myself. Is there any drawback to using my real information and maybe fibbing a little about my immune status? I don’t see how that would possibly come back to bite me, but am I missing anything?

There is no moral judgment in lying to protect yourself.

Get that booster.

Same. I lit all of my political favors on fire for nothing and stressed my family out. I remember getting tone policed by my brother for talking about covid. Not that anything was necessarily wrong with what I was saying but that the tone sucked. Though lol, I was not handling looking at the future of America back in March of 2020. Even viewed dimly it was going to be grim and I was not handling it well. So he was onto something even if he was missing the mark.

I still think the same things I do but I'm just calm about it now. Not zen, just chill. I still get anxiety about it but it's extremely manageable. I just have some tea and focus on my breathing.

My family is mostly bizzarro rural socialists that just let poo poo happen to them Republican-style. One of my brother's best friends died due to covid at 24. She was heavy so everyone is all "she was fat, rip" but so is most of America. Hole up, read a book or sixteen, just go with it. You aren't doing anything wrong and don't think you are. There's nothing wrong with protecting yourself and your loved ones.

My wife's grandmother is 97 years old and we've been spending as much time with her as we can. I'm just happy we got to see her again. I was so worried she'd die before we could see her again. Good outcomes are possible.

Depending on how long this drags on, vaccine passports required for doctor/hospital admission might become a thing

It would either spark a mass vaccination surge, or those same people would resign themselves to death

Not like they already haven't resigned themselves to death, but at least it would be on the books

Vaccines have been necessary to participate in public life in the US for over a century

I know this because my dad was a giant dickhead right wing fuckface who insisted I didn't need vaccines to enter school

Right now I'm trying to get a passport with a provisional birth certificate, thanks dad.

come fall/winter i will 100% be at home or in my car

also lol one of the positives was unvaccinated, the other was vaxxed with j&j
unvaccinated at a company that is paying you $$$$ to get the jab, at a company that is giving you PTO to recover from jabs, a company that is now offering a lottery for the jab. lol everything but making it a requirement, loving coward fucks

We're due back in two weeks. I work in a 64 floor building that channels every single person who comes in and out through one set of escalators.
