¿Por qué no los dos?
I'll take every vaccine I can get. Hell, I would sign up for the smallpox vaccine if I could get it, even though that disease hasn't existed in the wild in decades. I want every covid booster. I want it all! Jab me up, give me that sweet MRNA!
And I'll take the other stuff too. I love me a good edible. I'm on tirzepatide myself, even though insurance doesn't cover it. How do I afford it? Simple! I pirate the hell out of it!
I just got prescriptions from my GP for the pneumococcal and RSV vaccines because it turns out that I qualify. Anything I can get vaccinated for I do, because fuck antivaxxers.
I know someone who is a 60 year old smoker who went and lied to public health that she was a sex worker to get the MPOX vaccine, which makes me laugh, but i wouldn't mind it myself because you can get it touching surfaces.
My grandfather only lived to be a father because of the polio vaccine. Even my stepmother had polio in the fucking womb... it ate her kneecaps... she became a dancer to build leg muscle strength. My family has a valid, empirical respect for vaccines. I am a nurse and when I was young, I passed on the flu shots... until I got the flu... and found out what that hell was, I wasn't sure if I would survive it. After that, I will get every flu shot offered, I take every Covid Booster, I go the shingles vax and next year, I will be eligible for the RSV shot. I am getting them all, like Pokeman.
Nurses not getting vaccinated is an unreal phenomenon, isn't it? I work in a hospital, and some nurses who worked with COVID ECMO patients refused the COVID vaccine and got let go. How could you look at these people withering away and not want to be protected?
The flu shot is super important. I read about a preteen boy in Ohio whose parents didn't get him vaccinated, and he got influenza, and immediately got bacterial pneumonia and died, and his mother is wailing about how fast it all happened. Um, it didn't need to happen at all, they don't give them out for fun! I've thankfully never had it myself.
As someone working in a hospital, how are you not on every vaccine, especially those for world travelers? If someone picks up something unusual from a different part of the world, they will be going to the hospital, they will be exposing you to it
And they have no real reason for it ever. It just seems to be obstinate behaviour because they don't want to be told what to do.
Picked the wrong fucken profession then
Not just not getting vaccinated but actively promoting ng against it. They should be fired immediately. All the other so called medical professionals who take that track as well.
They were all fired, or got it under duress. Canada isn't like this.
Bullshit. I am a former paramedic in Canada. I know loads of supposed healthcare workers who avoided COVID shots and still happily work their jobs spreading the disease of stupidity today.
Well not where I live.
You must be from Ontario.
I am indeed.
Thought so with all that center of the universe stuff. Canada is a big country.
Honestly, I've been pawing through the list of medical conditions that let you still be eligible for the new covid booster. I have something that I think will qualify. But my funnier goto is that depression is one of the eligible conditions. And nothing makes me more depressed than an anti-science quack running our vaccine system!
Oh wow, I can just go get one. Ha. I plan on it next weekend in fact. Gosh the US is just a zippy little death march these days.
