    Those waiting for a vaccine app, did they not give cards to everyone?
    I a card, put it in my wallet and took a picture just in case. Haven’t thought about how I’m going to prove it since. What’s the need for an app?

    1. So you don't have to carry the card. It doesn't fit right in a man's wallet (or billfold)

    2. So you don't have to hunt for the photo. 

    Just a little convenience.

    I lost my card almost immediately. I knew would. :lol:

    I do have pictures of the front and back, and I'm sure it's on file somewhere with someone.

    at this point i think we need to just start shaming the antivaxxers. keep them out of places where they can spread to other people who are masking and following recommendations.

    you don't want to get a vaccine? fine. do not go to that restaurant. do not go to that concert. we have done what has been asked of us. we have gotten the vaccine and still wear masks and still wash hands and take precautions. i am tired of doing everything that has been asked of me and still having to fear going to places because of people who refuse to do the bare minimum. 

    i believe it is time for rewards and consequences. we should have been on the other side of this thing months ago. the non vaccinated are fucking up my business and costing me money and i am sick of it. 
    Shaming won’t work. Ever. I thinks it’s time for everyone to mind their own business and move on. I’m sick of hearing from both vaccinated and non vaccinated people.  I’m not directing this at you or anyone in particular at all. It’s just tiring. 
    I agree with Nick. Time to mind our own business and move on unless everyone is willing to go the federally mandated route. Shaming has never and will never work for any but the weakest minds.  I’d also like people to stop equating unvaxxed with Trumpers and deplorables.  Sorry to let you know there are progressives, minorities, trans people etc out there turning down the vax for various reasons that have nothing to do with Trump or right wing politics. Some people don’t trust govt, big pharma, news media etc for very legitimate reasons, I think they are wrong on covid obviously, but without a pattern of deceit  spanning years many people wouldn’t have so much mistrust.   I also will guarantee you there is someone you know that is not fully vaxxed and is lying to you that they are. I wish everyone would get vaccinated, but it’s just not going to happen unless things get really bad.  At this point all the stats and finger wagging will literally do nothing.  If anything we need some compassionate teaching in this moment.
    I wasn’t going to respond to this but fuck it.  4.36 billion people have stepped up to make a difference.  Absolutely the majority of us have not died from this vaccine.  We put our lives on the line when we didn’t know what would happen to us. We waited wearing masks and social distancing until our group (by age, etc) was called and we answered that call.  I stopped seeing this as political a long time ago. I don’t give a fuck what your (not you personally) issue is.  Unless you’re unable medically to get the vaccine or under the age of 12 there’s no reason left not to be vaccinated.  I’m tired of all the excuses, tired of hearing that shaming people won’t help.  Tired of seeing nurses cry everyday. Tired of seeing nurses and doctors being disrespected everyday while they’ve been busting their asses for 18+ months, putting themselves and their loved ones in harms way every fucking day.  I’m tired of all of it.  And I tried the shaming and being extremely compassionate and it makes no difference.  So here’s what I say…..fuck you to anyone who doesn’t choose to be vaccinated, plain and simple….fuck you. No compassion, no shaming…just one big fuck you.

    But that said, Mother Nature is doing a fine job and everyone knows, it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
    My old ass remember those commercials. And the big N abides by no one or nothing. It’s humbling.

    Not so much  a politician as a performance artist -- a very bad one..

    Hit the nail on the head!   Unfortunately, her fans/audience/followers take her seriously enough that I won't be surprised if one or more of them take her up on her suggestion and blast away at some poor government worker.  A lot of her Greene-goo lackeys don't know that there is a big difference between a politician and an everyday government employee. And their paranoia (in the truest, most accurate sense of the word) is off the wall. 

    I was recently talking with  a friend who has been in the medical field a long time.  She told me about a woman she saw in the health care facility she works in who didn't want the vaccination but got it anyway and afterward insisted on them bringing her a magnet to put up to her arm so she could be sure they weren't implanting micro chips in her arm.  Good grief!

    What does one have to do with the other? Get over it. What does she have to do with the constant shooting here in NYC?  I didn’t bring up anything to do with politics or race yet here you are in another thread quoting me and bringing up politics and race. Unreal.
