5G … you guys got ripped off.  In Canada we mix doses, we now get 7G…the internet is now so fast it loads pages before I type in the search field.  Amazing.

I might mix still.  They have us doing 28 days until the next shot.

this is me again testing negative for... nevermind

i have decided i am having a better day today...

What are we supposed to think/feel about this?  I mean I know the PC answer but there’s a huge distance between that and what I really think.  And then the more I think of it the worse I feel about myself.  Pretty messed up situation we’re in right now.

I'm going Thursday for my first of two injections that will hopefully help w my 5G reception.

I will finally go and get my shot and was shocked at how many questions they asked in order for me to do it.

I tried to do a "walk in" on 4 times in the last month and was told there are no more walk ins so I don't know why they keep reporting in my local news that they are.

What did they ask that you were surprised at? I don’t recall being asked anything more than basic demographic info.

I think you’ll be disappointed in the effect on your 5G. I haven’t seen an improvement and I’m considering a complaint. 

Asked for my SS number, that one surprised me.

I didn't expect it to be like a formal doctors visit, like the pamphlets you fill out on arrival.

I'm going to be disappointed then that my 5G will still be subpar.  Hopefully the nano's that I'm injected with get upgraded w the booster a few months down the line.  I'm joking of course but I was surprised at all the questions they ask.  Insurance, job.  Weird.

I didn't get any of that. I did get social I think, but not insurance or job.  But I got mine in March/April.  

Yeah, I almost said F it...

But I didn't.  I want my 5G and to be vaxxed now.  I'm happy w the numbers behind it.

Was it actually required that you provide that information or just requested, in order to book? I am thinking that they can’t require you to provide it, but they likely want it for public health stats. 

When you get your shot, make sure to tell them you want the upgraded chip.

I edited the picture so it wouldn’t be flagged as inappropriate, this seems to be spot on.

Suck it Abbott!

Dallas County Judge is going to be able to institute a mask mandate. Good thing because our hospitals are about to be in serious trouble.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/delta-variant-most-prevalent/2021/08/08/d1017f0e-f558-11eb-9068-bf463c8c74de_story.html

 The variant battle in the United States is over. Delta won.
Since late last year, the country has been overrun by a succession of coronavirus variants, each with its own suite of mutations conferring slightly different viral traits. For much of this year, the alpha variant — officially known as B.1.1.7 and first seen in the United Kingdom — looked like the clear winner, accounting for the majority of cases by April. In second place was iota, B.1.526, first seen in New York City. A few others made the rogue’s gallery of variants: gamma, beta, epsilon.
Then came delta — B.1.617.2. It had spread rapidly in India, but in the United States, it sat there for months, doing little as the alpha advanced. As recently as May 8, delta caused only about 1 percent of new infections nationally.
Today, it has nearly wiped out all of its rivals. The coronavirus pandemic in America has become a delta pandemic. By the end of July, it accounted for 93.4 percent of new infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The speed with which it dominated the pandemic has left scientists nervous about what the virus will do next. The variant battles of 2021 are part of a longer war, one that is far from over.
Delta is sending thousands of people into hospitals every day and has knocked the Biden administration back on its heels. In a few short weeks, the delta variant changed the calculations for what it will take to end the pandemic.

Out of curiosity, do you think a 100% vaccinated US means the pandemic is over? If so, you might want to hang on to some of those fuck you’s. I support the vaccine and encouraging others to protect themselves, but I see zero value in this approach.

Yes they did ask that.  I had a hard time giving them my SS# but I get that I have to have a direct link to myself and the shots.  The other questions about work and insurance I wasn't so sure about...

If you can pass the virus even inoculated this persons point is moot.

Edit:  I also don't care for threatening messages to others that isn't signed.  Lay claim to your words or it doesn't have legs.

I think we need to clarify what "pandemic is over" means. It does NOT mean covid is eradicated. It simply means it is no longer a global health crisis, crippling our health care systems. in that case, yes, 100% vaccinated would mean the pandemic is over.

I’m surprised they let you use you SS number.  Here in Canada, we are told to protect our SIN (Canadian version) because of identity theft.

when I got my shots I just showed them my health card…

The US makes up 4% of the global population. The social media click bait that was posted addressed only Americans. That is not very sound reasoning if you ask me. The other 7 billion+ people we share this planet with play a part in the pandemic, as well.

I agree with that. But what was posted was addressing vaccine hesitancy-which we don't know if we'll see in other countries, developing countries, because they simply don't have access to them yet to determine that. 

I highly doubt CM believes that 100% vaccinated US means pandemic is over, by the way. Since there's no fox news in india, I'd imagine once they have real access, they won't have this same problem.

This got me curious and I believe this article is related (although not specifically about COVID-19).  It rates the countries with the highest rates of vaccine hesitancy worldwide.

I feel like religious beliefs alone will pay a big factor in vaccine hesitancy worldwide.

why? it doesn't seem to be about religious beliefs here. it's some dumbed down idea of freedom and mistrust in science perpetuated by conservatives. I think the fact it's on the right that coincides with religious people is just a coincidence. sure, there's the kooks who think god will protect them, but I honestly think that's a small, vocal minority.

The right wing media are definitely the ones pushing anti-science/anti-vaccine rhetoric.  I think that the buy -ins to those far right media outlets are the ones refusing to get vaccinated.
