Had to lie today and say I got the vaccine because the communists I work with called me out and said I didn't, in front of a group of people. I felt like being honest was worse in that situation, since the pressure to be vaccinated at work is a real thing. Where is the printable .pdf of the CDC vaccination card that's floating around? Might be useful in the future.......

Yeah I'm debating whether I'm gonna just lie and say I'm planning to get it/have gotten it bc it's gonna open for all in my state soon and my coworkers thus far seem to just be assuming as much.

It's probably safer to lie, but it's all so tiresome.

Heysoos Christos all of you vaccine cucks! If you don't want to get it don't, and when some asshole demands to know your private medical history if you're too much of a fucking coward to tell them off just meekly answer "that's private mate" as your balls shrivel up and die. (in my head you're Australian while unable to stand up for yourself for some reason, just go with it).

If you're an American and not documenting being asked private medical questions being demanded of you so that you can immediately hire an employment attorney and sue the ever living fuck out of that business then I don't know what to tell you besides stop being a goddamn doormat.

edit: glad the MATI rating is gone about now 👼

A friend's dad (65+) got the second dose last week. Said he felt bad for longer with the second dose than the first, but even then it was just a few hours of bad feeling and he's fine now.

Today I went out to Walmart, Dollar Tree and Aldi in the American midwest. It was... normal but not normal. The shelves weren't bare but some items still weren't stocked as fully as before. Most people wore masks but a few shoppers came into Walmart without them and no one panicked. Perhaps they were asked to put masks on later, I wasn't going to follow them around to find out while there was Easter candy to rifle through.
The "shop this way" arrow stickers were no longer on the floor in Walmart but they were there in Aldi, but any signs posted about it were down. I did not see any limit signs on canned goods.

We locked down a year ago because we had no information on the virus, and were told it was only 15 days.

Now we have that info AND a vaccine.

To make no mention that the census for the virus probably started en masse in March, so of coruse there'll be less people being tallied in a tally that just started.

Also this bitch forgot to put a lot of qualifiers. 50k cases of what? The virus? Massive symptoms? On what scale? Nationally? Globally?

The real victims that no one really talks about during this last year are cats. Think of the real mental health crisis that the feline community is undergoing by having these crazed women stay at home more than usual in addition to being in a frenzy over Covid.

Not just cats but dogs as well. A lot of pets did not adjust well to their owners being home all of the time after adapting to the humans being gone for a period of time for the day.

Meanwhile my old ass cat was more displeased when I brought my newborns home than when I was furloughed. It just meant I could give him more one on one attention (he's a giant baby that's been with me through nearly all of the changes that being a young adult has, he's just tired of me bringing home things that are technically alive and takes attention away from him). The younger beast is on an SSRI because she is a little ball of anxiety that is prone to self harm so she probably would have flipped if not for her medication.

So my state is opening up vaccines to all adults 18+ years old, I guess because old people who want it have pretty much gotten theirs already so there are a lot of doses just sitting around. My dad immediately called me as soon as he heard and asked if I was going to get a shot now, and he got flustered when I said that I didn't see the point. I already had the coof, I've got the antibodies to show it, so what more would a vaccine do that my body hasn't already done? I mean, he knows how vaccines work, it's not like they're injecting you with virus-killing superdrugs or anything, it's just training your immune system on a weaker version so you get resistance without the normal effects. It's likely that resistance will wear off eventually like other colds/flu viruses, but by then the coof will hopefully have mutated into something less serious and blend into the background of other cold viruses.

Then he tried to guilt trip me into getting the shot so that things can go back to normal faster, and he claimed that our fellow church members won't want to be around me if I'm not vaccinated. Aside from just being really disgusting that he's trying to manipulate me like that, and aside from the fact that apparently vaccines won't even let us go back to normal per the CDC (so really what's the point), what business is it of anyone else's if I've gotten a shot? I can easily just lie and they'd be none the wiser anyway. And since when did the health and wellbeing of literally every other person out there become my responsibility? I get a flu shot every year, but I don't do that for anyone but myself. I have never once thought "man, it's so good that I'm getting a flu shot so that other people don't get sick" when I get flu shots. Selfish? Sure, but so what? I'm responsible for myself just as everyone else is responsible for themselves.

He'll probably keep bugging me about it until I cave because he can never handle things not going his way, but I may just lie and pretend I got it so he'll shut up. Saved that blank card template since I just know he'd want to see the record, I'll probably have to make a fake myself.

Your Dad is apiece if shit. I'm not for one second of the belief those of us who are unvaccinated are comparable, but perhaps you need to remind him of when Christ spent time with those society labelled unclean?

Good point, but I'm going the less Christian but easier in the long run approach and just lie about it. He'll be happy he got his way, and I don't get a shot I don't want or need. Not like he'll ever find out one way or the other, and certainly not the first time I've lied to make life simpler.

It's funny how you mentioned making a theological argument, because our pastor brought up how wearing masks was the Christian thing to do, or something along those lines, the idea that we do it for others and not ourselves. Like, maybe if masks actually did something I could see an argument for that, but it's clear that any benefit is marginal at best and offset by making yourself uncomfortable, rebreathing stale air, and preventing easy visual communication. I'm gonna have to have a talk with him about that.

I guess that is the issue with religion.all of it can be manipulated however a person wants to mean as they wish.
