COVID-19 - On the Ground

[jhawks99]

I'm gay.

It seems Wiffle has been had as a result of leaving his K-Crim account open. Might as well just roll with it as my new identity.

Mrs 99 did something along those lines to me on the commie.

That was always fun in college, when we’d be all gushered and somebody would pass out with their Facebook page still logged in.

Oh, I see now that you’ve changed your profile pic to some sorta gay pirate now, eh?

Love me sum Chance! Nice approachable guy. Huge Chicago Sky (and other Chicago teams) fan.

I have no idea who in that picture is this Chance the Rapper.

The good ol' fashioned Butt Pirate.

Maybe some good news in this study.

It's not good news. It just means that there will always be some new goofball conspiracy that some people will buy into right off the bat and eventually tire of until they move on to the next one.

Dead center.

Back to Covid.....
Fuck lazy co-workers!
I just told a department head that she is to blame for catering to lazy employees. I told her those who work for her are not happy that she has volunteered their services. It's one thing to ask someone to do you a favor. It's another to blatantly use people because you don't want to do your job.

Don't tell the guy his dog's heartworm medicine is ivermectin of he'll be eating one every month, too.

That reminds me, I need to register for my J&J booster.

I don't remember if I've posted this or not, but a colleague of mine who's wife is a PA was telling me about the guy who went in to get a tetanus shot but refused to get the Covid19 vaccine.

3rd Pfizer for me tomorrow.

I don't remember if I've posted this or not, but a colleague of mine who's wife is a PA was telling me about the guy who went in to get a tetanus shot but refused to get the Covid19 vaccine.

Mrs. Fish and I (and guppies) went to dinner Saturday night with another family. The conversation very quickly turned to vaccines, and specifically Mrs. Notfish's status as unvaccinated.

I don't behave in public quite like I do here - thank goodness - so I just laid in the background as Mrs. Notfish goes through the Fox News chyrons: vaccine was rushed/inadequately tested, one's God-given immune system works, and besides Mrs. Notfish has had Covid so now has natural immunity.

When Mr. Notfish (who very much is vaccinated) asked for my opinion (referencing me being a lawyer, no less, which: sure?), it became apparent to me that this was a wedge issue for the Notfishes, and I was being asked to back him up.

I just said that, from my vantage point: (1) whatever concerns could reasonably have been had about safety have been put to rest by three billion people in fact being safely vaccinated, with nearly no serious complications* and (2) whatever the efficacy of natural immunity, it would not personally be worth it to me to have to deal with all of the bullshit of being unvaccinated, just because I think I'm covered.

* I did become briefly KCrim-Fish. She said "that's not true, there have been millions of..." and I just interrupted, "no, there haven't," and moved on.

Not her fault for getting news from sQuirt.

[MICHHAWK]

i'm fully vaxxed so i don't care what anyone else does. but i do not fault anyone that has had the fungus for not getting the vaxx. natural immunity is a thing regardless of what big pharma and social medias whackjobs tells me.

aka...i’m going to remain ignorant despite scientific evidence proving i’m an idiot

it took me 3 minutes to shake you out of your tree.

At this point, I personally don't think i'd go to dinner with someone who was unvaxxed.
I understand that when I go to dinner, I likely am in an area of several unvaxxed, but they aren't sitting at my table.

I sure as hell care what the people in my house do. My wife or eligible kids being unvaccinated, and thus foreclosing on a number of things we can do (or making them harder/less fulfilling to do), would leave me pretty damn bitter.

We didn't know. We would not willingly choose to go to dinner with someone who is unvaccinated.

I'd be curious to know what you mean by natural immunity, but I know you won't respond to this.
