The problem with articles like this is they never seem to understand that __% means vaccinated + infected - overlaps, not just vaccinated.

"The most deranged yet delightful thing  I read today is that some anti-maskers/vaxxers are now wearing masks out of fear that a vaccinated person will “shed” vaccine side effects onto them"

I think this could be good news

Whoa. That is sooner than I expected. If school age kids can all be vaxed by October, that would change the school equation a lot.

a recent poll of household 7-year-olds showed a 100% degree of excitement about getting vaxxed.  even though they're deathly afraid of needles, they've felt left out: they've watched all the big people get their shots and how important we've made it sound, so they want in on the action.  too bad we can't get approval before the new school year starts…

I think you're going to have problems convincing a lot of parents of seven year old's that their kids need the vaccine.

How would it change the school equation a lot? Fairfax County has been one of the most conservative districts and they're planning on five days a week, with only medical exemptions, regardless of vaccination status.

Does this seem to be de rigueur nationwide? Didn't know that. Assumed as a childless person with disposable income and teacher friends that many school systems would continue to be hybrid and have teacher staffing issues until kids were vaxxed.

Also that was post 6666 for you so extra spoooooooky.

[Insert person here] should additionally never post again. For numerical reasons.

I need to speak with the manager, got my J&J and still only getting 1-2 bars in my house…do I have to wait 2 weeks for cell phone reception to improve?

Think of J&J as the boutique vaccine, and Pfizer as the Target

Seriously? People are going to get a vaccine in exchange for a beer?


How much of a loser does one have to be..

whatever it takes man, if it gets people out, then it's working

what about FWB points!

I do not believe one person is going to decide to get a vaccine because of a free beer


This is just stupid
