COVID Vax -> Free Krispy Kreme -> Heart Disease -> 100's of 1000's of deaths.

And of course, once people are vaxxed, they will move about more. That means more carbon emissions, leading to exacerbated global warming, leading to extinction.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 1:46 pmWork from home. Donuts.

Ok, I am sincerely happy for those of you who have been vaccinated but to be brutally honest, it fricking pisses me off that I can't get vaccinated in the city of Chicago.
Everyone has valid excuses why they "need" to be vaccinated but here I am, a 54 year old guy with a heart condition and lung issues (who has an 87 year old mother who hasn't seen her daughter, son-in-law, brother, nieces, nephews, grand kids, great grand kids, etc. in over a year because she was afraid to travel and now needs me to travel with her to go visit these people) and I can't get a fricking vaccine. As far as my mother's predicament involving my being vaccinated (or not), yes, some of them can come visit her but some can't.
I just want to get vaccinated and my frustration rises each and every day when I see and hear about people I know who are NOT "high risk" people and are able to just show up and get a vaccine and I can't even get on a fricking waiting list.
It's JUNK!

any estimate on when you’ll be eligible in chicago, gutter?
they just this week opened utah up to all adults. it took me refreshing the site most of the morning to get the time slots i did...otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to get vaccinated until the 16th

Something that was successful for some people in the KC metro late feb/early march was being willing to drive to a rural area.
Pain in the ass, but yes, it's frustrating and varies so much place-to-place, state-to-state, etc.

I would rent a car (or take Uber) in a second if I was able to get vaccinated in the suburbs.
I have been led to believe that it doesn't matter if it's a "mass vaccination site" or a local pharmacy in the burbs, it's extremely difficult to get vaccinated in the suburbs - especially as a resident of the city.
I have gone on-line to Walgreens, CVS, Zoc-Doc, and Dr. B, and have signed up for notifications of if/when there is availability for me to get vaccinated. Two weeks later, I am yet to be notified by any source I have used.
A family friend who is a nurse gave me a "code" to get vaccinated at the United Center but when I went to use the code it said the maximum amount of people have used the code. Meanwhile, it showed available appointments. Basically impossible to get in touch with someone to try and get an "appointment".
Being that my primary care physician is affiliated with Northwestern, I have been told I will be notified when the vaccine is/was available at Northwestern and that it should be in a week or so. That was 2 weeks ago.
There is a new "phase" in Chicago and Illinois that begins on Monday that might make things even more difficult because it enables people who were previously not eligible - to now be eligible.
It's just mind blowing to me that someone I know who lives in Florida, who is in perfect health, and who has been completely negligent in regards to Covid, walked right in to a "facility" and got vaccinated yesterday while someone such as me who has has legitimate (diagnosed) heart and lung issues, and has been diligent in following CDC guidelines and recommendations, can't get vaccinated anywhere in the Chicagoland area.
Not sure who specifically I should blame but I do feel something is amiss.

Right on cue....
Dr.B
Dear (Gutter),
Thank you for being part of Dr. B’s mission. We created Dr. B to make distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine more efficient and more equitable, through a standby list that prioritizes patients first by risk factors and then by signup order.
In a few short weeks, with your help, we built Dr. B and surpassed two million signups nationwide. As glad as we are that so many have signed up, we are even more delighted to take people off the list, by helping them receive the vaccine.
For a couple weeks already, vaccine providers have begun distributing doses to patients on Dr. B’s list. We are working around the clock to continue onboarding providers and distributing doses.
We deeply appreciate your support. You can help advance the mission by sharing Dr. B with family and friends.
---------
Ok, so if I chose to be a selfish f*ck why would I possibly want to "Help advance the mission by sharing Dr. B with family and friends" if it meant it puts more people on the list and lessens my chances to get the vaccine?

At this point I could prob get vaccinated sooner than later, but more than anything I’m feeling chicken, because needles.
Couldn’t they just like put the vaccine on a q tip and shove it up my nose or something? Even that was much better.
