Which fear exactly?

The troglodytes' fear over a getting a shot or two?

I'm confused.

That boil gates and the alien agenda are manipulating our DNA and messing with fertility in a grand eugenics and population control conspiracy...duh

It's clearly part of the "replacement" process.  White people will have trouble fertilizing after receiving the vaccine, whereas black and brown people will be octo-moms.  Very insidious.

Some hard-hitting journalism on the vaccines here...

The Hot-Person Vaccine

The internet has decided that Pfizer is significantly cooler than Moderna—but why?

I hope we can all agree that “vaccine culture” is a bit depressing. The idea of wearing an evening gown to a COVID-19-vaccine appointment is objectively sad, and speaking from personal experience, taking an hour-long bus ride to a CVS at the dead center of Staten Island, New York, for medical treatment is not fun or exciting except by dramatic contrast to events prior.

And when vaccine culture isn’t dismal, it can get extremely weird. At the moment, the internet is full of jokes about all the things you still can’t do after you’ve gotten vaccinated—like taking my hand and dragging me headfirst, which is part of a Taylor Swift song from 2008; removing the green ribbon from around your neck, a reference to a disturbing children’s story in which a woman named Jenny does that and then her head falls off; or emerging “from the soil after 17 years to shed your outer cuticular layer & scream into the ether in unison,” which is a subtweet of cicadas. I’m laughing, but what are we talking about?

Weirder still, one vaccine in particular—from Pfizer—has somehow become the cool vaccine, as well as the vaccine for the rich and stylish. Slate’s Heather Schwedel recently discussed the “Pfizer superiority complex” at length. As one source told her: “One of my cousins got Moderna, and I was like, ‘That’s OK. We need a strong middle class.’” On Twitter, the vaccinated are changing their usernames to reflect their new personal identities: There are Pfizer Princesses and Pfizer Floozies and Pfizer Pfairies and at least one Portrait of a Lady on Pfizer. “Pfizer is what was available when I signed up,” Jagger Blaec, a 33-year-old podcast host told me, “but it’s no coincidence every baddie I know has Pfizer and not Moderna.” Isn’t it a coincidence, though?

Real hard hitting. Wow, just wow! Where would we all be without someone plumbing the depths of the sewer that is social media? The linguist’s comments on word origins was interesting though.

Bonus points to you for the use of “troglodytes” in a sentence.

troglodyte is a great word. especially when the troglodytes are not self aware.

Well shoot; my ass got Moderna. Now I’ll never be able to play with the cool kids!

I get my 1st dose of either Moderno or Pfizer on Friday.

The registration for education workers does not open till May 6th and is only available for education workers who currently have contact with students.  Our schools are online with the exception of special Ed.  So this leads me to believe schools will stay online the remainder of the year…but who knows, The way this province is being run makes me think ole Doug Ford has found his brother Robs old crack stash and has been indulging.

I went through the local health unit…they are doing 50+ now.

FDA set to approve the Pfizer vaccine for ages 12-15 as early as next week

Good read on why not reaching a herd immunity threshold isn’t as big of a disaster as some may feel it is, and why even herd immunity isn’t a miracle solution that will magically end coronavirus

He also states in some of his other tweets that he feels reaching the 50% vaccinated as a country threshold will cause a sharp decline in cases and transmission.  The USA won’t achieve the what is now expected to be 80% for herd immunity, but we are on the verge (and in some states already there) of hitting the 50% mark

I don't think it's a disaster, particularly if the virus continues to be fatal to the unvaccinated.

It could help eradicate the real disease infecting our nation through the process of natural selection.

Can I just say that I have not bought that on vinyl because they left off Pigs in Zen.  So annoying to leave off the best song on the record.

"Now, more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine. But daily vaccination rates are slipping, and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable — at least not in the foreseeable future, and perhaps not ever.

Instead, they are coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long-promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the United States for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths but in much smaller numbers."

Exceptional!

Sad and pathetic.  People choosing their own demise.  

First doses have fallen off a cliff, down by over half, and this is right after vaccines became available to young adults. Remember the good old days of 2019 when it was thought the Bernie and AOC wings of the political spectrum were perceived as caring about the planet? Not so much anymore.

With vaccines flatlining and major areas like NY reopening, it seems this is the tolerated level of covid, about 500 daily deaths and 50k cases. 

It will be just one more thing that could end us rather quickly. But in this case it tougher to address, it’s not as simple as driving slower, eating healthier or less sugar. 40 percent of the country has spoken and they don’t give a fk.

porch section is gung ho for large concerts ASAP . The irony is going to shows will be like playing Russian roulette with the longer term vaccine effectiveness and my neighbor not giving a damn. It funny remembering the Hyde show they just streamed for free, with Ed interrupting the show often, telling is to take care of our neighbors. Entirely new world now, Ed.

But they're doing it for the planet. You don't have student loan debt, can't consume nor add to the GHG emissions if you're dead and buried, particularly in a green burial ground. Wasn't there a song? WWS a few albums ago?
