the same thing. I never heard anything about having to go to the doctor to get a script. I had to get one to get my RSV shot. My stupid red state decided that for me. Ridiculous.

1. Even though those over 65 can still get the vaccine, it doesn't mean they will get the vaccine.

2. For those not 65, you're healthy until you get Covid. Maybe you should be given the vaccine.

3. From personal experience, schools are petri dishes of bacteria, germs, and viruses. I caught Covid from my students before it had a name. And the kids are bringing home the virus to their parents and grandparents.

4. Where is the American Medical Association? Publications like JAMA? American Association of Pediatrics?

it does seem the kids bring their germs in, they get all mixed together and reassembled, and they take home the new set to their families, who bring it into work to mix together with everybody else's and reassembled, and their fellow workers bring the new germs home to their family, and the kids bring the new ones into the germ factory.

I'm getting an Enhanced Real ID (it's a thing in Minnesota) so I can drive up to Thunder Bay, Canada this fall for my COVID booster

Fuck this shit. I'm not risking going without my shot and leaving my wife and daughter to bury me

Driving to Thunder Bay. Anyone know how that works for non-citizens? Well pay if we are still employed.

And giving people a placebo instead of the actual vaccine would be medical malpractice.

They interviewed someone who was saying that a placebo-controlled trial would be unethical because they know the vaccine lowers risk. Perhaps the poster heard the story and misunderstood it.

But just the reality of what ever damage he can do, merely as a continuation of his lack of action/ actions during the Covid Pandemic that needlessly cost an additional 500,000 loss of life, and many many others with "Long Covid" for life..........
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how Trump, Trumphumpers, and Republican Politicians can life with themselves and their lack of any conscience what-so-ever........mind boggling........
