I'm waiting to get an OK from my Doctor for my 3rd shot of Moderna. I'll wait till she gives the all clear.
And guess what.... people that get the flu shot "can" still get the flu. However as with the flu AND as with covid, the idea is to greatly reduce the effects of catching the flu, and reduce the effects of catching covid.
With the flu, I'd rather get the shot and maybe catch a bad cold instead of catching the full deadly flu. And with covid, I'd rather get the shot and not need to be hospitalized should I catch the covid.
But here we are again....
If the damn anti-vaxxers would just get the damn shot, we would not be talking about this. Covid spreads because not enough people are getting the shot and that is just asinine. People can be so damn ignorant and that is shocking, but what still want to know about the ignorant bone headed people out there is.... is it the fluoride ???
Nurses are quitting, or taking travel contracts to get paid 2-3x as much to deal with the same fucking moron patients.I really hate seeing what this is doing to our doctors and nurses. Getting the two shots (or the single J&J) are such easy things to do to ensure our hospitals aren't being completely overrun. The shots are no guarantee you'll be protected from a bad case of COVID when you catch it (and we will all catch it at some point) but in my area of San Antonio, Texas the share of unvaccinated vs vaccinated patients admitted to Bexar County's hospitals has stayed a pretty consistent 85/15 ever since delta started flaring up here. In a county with a 72% vaccination rate among those eligible that tells you the vaccines can definitely make this pandemic manageable. It really infuriates me seeing our doctors and nurses ground to a pulp because of such a massive disinformation campaign. If I was a nurse I'd probably have quit by now after the level of disrespect shown to them by the antivaxxers who they're now stuck caring for. We have such a sickness in this country where everything is me me me instead of caring how our decisions affect others.
Here we are under a double threat to our health care.Nurses are quitting, or taking travel contracts to get paid 2-3x as much to deal with the same fucking moron patients.
Here in Atlanta, the "second wave" ensured that anyone coming to the ED would need to wait unless they were physically dying, like, right now. Having admit hold unvaccinated morons eating up resources as they went High Flow Nasal Cannula -> BiPap -> Vent -> Morgue all while sitting in the ED because the ICU was already full of the same unvaccinated morons eating up resources. And of course when every ED room is filled with some unvaccinated moron who chose to get COVID and die, you have actual emergency patients sitting in the waiting room waiting to come back to a cubicle for blood draw, meds, and if actually dying, monitoring.
Of course there are absolutely no retention bonuses for staff staying through the bullshit, so either the ED remains an absolutely unsafe place for patients, or travelers come in and get paid 2-3x the amount of "core" staff who stayed, because traveler staff budgets come from a different source within the hospital...which makes "core" staff decide to take a travel contract to a hospital 20 miles or whatever from where they live to actually get paid fairly for a change. Causing more "core" staff to leave, meaning it's a race to the "top" as hospitals that buy travelers can actually perform their jobs, leaving the poorest hospitals providing the poorest care for the poorest people in any given area. Which is, of course, a feature and not a bug of capitalism controlling healthcare, by the way.
At some point in the near future, the massive nursing shortage is going to require hospitals to mass import nurses from the Philippines and elsewhere as US nurses leave the field after being treated like fucking garbage for years upon years. I'm sticking around as the knowledge and skills I use will be very useful as our society collapses over the next 20 years, but you can bet that a substantial minority of nurses who think society hasn't been and isn't currently collapsing will go elsewhere, draining nursing skills from our society, further aggravating the ongoing collapse.
I can tell you right now, get healthy. Stop drinking alcohol, start exercising and strength training, and maximize your health because sooner rather than later, just popping into your local urgent care or ED isn't going to be an option.
OK, I'm bummed.
8 hours since my booster.
My arm isn't even tender*... My testicles are still the same size, not hoping for giants, but a size increase of 30 - 40% increase might look good.
Dose #1 and #2 at least gave me a tender area on my arm.

Just checking in so y'all know I'm still alive. It's been a great summer for me and the family, movies, aquarium, the zoo, seeing friends and family, plenty of work too.
No vax but continuously working to be as healthy and prepared as can be, for us and the kids.
Always remember no matter what your choice regarding vaccination - you owe it to yourself to get that immune system in gear and to shed any co-morbidities that you can control. Your body will always be the first line of defense, for covid and everything else.
Saying this and being an anti-vaxer shows how fucking dumb you really are.Your body will always be the first line of defense, for covid and everything else.

So why won’t you train your immune system? Why do the immune equivalent of sitting on your ass eating Big Macs and pretending like that’s getting you (your immune system) in shape instead?Just checking in so y'all know I'm still alive.

You really need to go read this subreddit and see how many dead people made the same argument you are:Just checking in so y'all know I'm still alive. It's been a great summer for me and the family, movies, aquarium, the zoo, seeing friends and family, plenty of work too.

He was in the hospital for a little over two weeks and is at home still on Oxygen two months later and can't do squat because his heart rate shoots through the roof with any amount of physical activity.
Yeah this younger generation is screwed with long term effects of covid. Like thinking just not dying is fine. Have fun suffering with breathing issues for the next 4 decades.Heard of a few unvaccinated acquaintances around my age(late 30s) who got COVID and lived but it fried their lungs. Yeah they'll live but they can't walk up a fight of stairs without getting dizzy.
One of my best friends also ignored getting a vaccine for covid 19 no matter how much we dogged him. Finally he decided to listen and got his first shot on July 31 Saturday. He called in sick on Sunday evening Aug 01. Went to the emergency room that night and received a diagnosis of Covid 19. He was in the hospital for a little over two weeks and is at home still on Oxygen two months later and can't do squat because his heart rate shoots through the roof with any amount of physical activity.
Tell that to the very healthy 20-year-old that have died of COVID... actually, you would have to tell their grieving parents.Always remember no matter what your choice regarding vaccination - you owe it to yourself to get that immune system in gear and to shed any co-morbidities that you can control.
