Yes I ask. Too many children around that can’t get vaccinated and with breakthrough cases/new variant no one is really 100% safe. My sister-in-law said she won’t get the booster shot so I told her I wouldn’t be seeing her probably for a very long time. I don’t believe it’s intrusive to ask. Wouldn’t you want to know if this was a plague or Ebola? When it comes to pandemics I don’t think prevention should be a choice.Smellyman said:Ledbetterman10 said:Does anybody here that is vaccinated (which seems to be everyone based on that poll I posted a week or two ago) actually ask others if they are or aren't vaccinated? For example, your friend invites you over and there's a few people there you don't know. Are you concerned with whether or not they're vaccinated?

Sure I do. I want to know if they are a mouth breathing moron or not
which is your choice. she chooses differently.
I really am interested in the persons reasons and not everyone else opinions on it. This seems to be an ongoing theme on here.Not seeing the difference suggests you dont mind being around either. you didnt explicitly state what you just did. say what you mean or intend. we dont read minds.now, I have a suggestion. go take back the flag. well I have another too....._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

I asked a question. There is no mind reading in that. it's a question... People are always reading into something that isn't there on here.mickeyrat said:tempo_n_groove said:

Was it you I mentioned the "take back the flag" pitch? I mentioned this to a few people. If you really are serious I will start that up. It didn't seem to take up much speed.0 -
i just got back from an account in southern IL, 3 of their OR nurses that scrub and assist the main doctor in surgery all tested positive yesterday afternoon. i was in a case with one of them last week, so fortunately I appear to have been around her before she had it. 2 of the 3 are vaccinated.
the hospital is at full capacity and due to staff covid cases they do not have enough people to care for the inpatients. what a fucking shit show."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Southern Illinois might as well be in Florida the way people are acting. We have 51 school districts that have been put on probationary status with the State Board of Education due them refusing to institute a mask mandate in school. My county has 2 school districts in it, the one I live in is on probation with the rest of them, the one my wife teaches in is mandating masks (thankfully). The next step is a hearing with the State Board of Education, and then if they aren't in compliance within 60 days, they will lose recognition which will result in the loss of funding, put diplomas for graduating seniors in jeopardy, and being banned from athletic competition. I don't think it will come to that, I think the school districts will back down.gimmesometruth27 said:i just got back from an account in southern IL, 3 of their OR nurses that scrub and assist the main doctor in surgery all tested positive yesterday afternoon. i was in a case with one of them last week, so fortunately I appear to have been around her before she had it. 2 of the 3 are vaccinated.

hopefully they can get it figured out. the most likely best option is for the school districts to back down in the interest of safety."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Yes she’s definitely bizarre. I didn’t ask but she voluntarily offered that the shot made her sick. Then she proceeded outside to smoke another cigarette.OnWis97 said:

It won't be in the interest of safety, it will end up being the threat of losing funding and not being able to play sports.gimmesometruth27 said:

Well in my case all the little relatives are under 12 so not vaccinated. There’s a reason they’re telling us to get boosters which tells me if you don’t you have a higher chance of being reinfected/having a breakthrough. I guess instead of giving us mega doses to begin with better to be safe than sorry and give booster later if needed. IDK. This is a first go round for this disease which is why it should be taken more seriously and those trying to save all of us should be cut some slack. We have no clue what’s next so how can they.tempo_n_groove said:

Sure I do. I want to know if they are a mouth breathing moron or notYes, this is so important to remember. The guidance changed as scientists gained a better understanding of the novel (new!) virus. Remember wiping down packages and groceries?We get a flu shot annually -- as I think I mentioned before, I missed one year out of the last thirty or so, and ended up regretting it. So I will not be surprised if a covid shot is needed annually for a while, until the virus evolves into something more benign like a cold or immunity is better understood, or established, or whatever.

I haven't yet had to ask people if they're vaccinated; the people I know, be they friends or hairstylists, etc., tend to volunteer that they're fully vaccinated. We probably will ask, though, before going to any large holiday gatherings with extended family. I don't really feel weird about the idea of asking, for some reason, despite privacy issues. I am very upfront about being vaccinated, as I want to put others at ease. I figure people either will say, "Oh, yes, so are we!" or they'll demur or start talking about microchips/ wanting to see more proof.But we have an immunocompromised family member and many older friends, so maybe that's why we are not hesitant to broach the subject. I'd hate to be responsible for getting someone else sick, and that's a higher priority for me than risking making someone uncomfortable by asking about their vaccination status.All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0

BC announced this week that there will be vaccination passports for all BC residents. They will have to be presented for anyone to access many public places, such as restaurants, ticketed events, gyms, all post-secondary student residences and sports, etc, etc. Stores/malls will still be excluded (unfortunately). After this announcement, the numbers for people scheduling to get the vaccine spiked dramatically.Along with this announcement, masks in indoor public spaces became mandatory again, province-wide, and all kids 10 and older (I think that was the age?) will have to wear masks in school.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

I heard this discussed on the news yesterday about doses and long term effectiveness. They now have data to back it up.cblock4life said:

Moderna stayed 67% effective and Pfizer 74% after 6 months. That is still pretty damn good numbers.
