Idk after 3 vaccines I’ll hold off until there’s an actual spike in cases instead of just a mild rise in cases. I got covid after my first 2 and it did suck a lot (worse than vaccines but better than it would’ve been without vaccines), but my 3rd vaccine hit me hard for like 2 days I felt like shit and honestly I just don’t feel like I need to do that as of now, I feel like my memory B cells probably have stuck around considering how frequently I was exposed to the virus/proteins.
Personal choice, anyone who wants to get vaccinated I completely encourage it, I would just rather not get another one at this time, I don’t get a flu shot every year for pretty much the same reason and considering the r⁰ value of covid I doubt any amount of vaccination efforts/campaigns will ever eradicate it, especially with all the anti vaxx nutjobs out there.
Why? Why do care? What does anyone care if they want to get vaccinated or not? Don’t get it if you don’t want to. Don’t wear a mask if you don’t want to either.
I just cannot understand this holier than thou attitude about vaccines and masks in 2023.
well I would agree to you if those people would just have to deal with the consequences for themselves.
But since these people are actively spreading such a disease with their ignorance, we actually have to care if they wear a mask or are less virulent due to a vaccine shot…
Did you also not care two years ago? I know it’s the current year and all, but it’s rather convenient if you only developed this attitude after the time it mattered to have it.
Imagine saying this in 2021. You’d be called an anti-vaxxer for sure, if not also a racist and a grandma killer. It’s worth thinking about what has actually changed since then.
And I don’t care what other people decide to do for their own health, for the record. I think everyone is free to do as they wish, and I always have. I just wish the same courtesy was extended to me and mine when this was an unpopular opinion to have, but of course that’s too much to expect from people who believe they know what’s best for everyone else.
That said, if you actually take another booster, you deserve to be made fun of. I would never advocate that these people should be fired, or run out of society, or put in a camp, or summarily executed, but pardon me for thinking some light ridicule is warranted.
Then your original comment makes no sense. If you truly don’t care what other people do then why comment at all? Why do people need to be ridiculed for taking another booster? It’s not like we haven’t discovered how well Covid mutates. Take it, don’t take it. But I’m happy it’s available and that people have the option to have it.
Did I not care two years ago? What kind of silly question is this? Of course I did. And you’re fucking right I had develop this attitude because I take the subway system everyday. If I cared about every Tom Dick & Harry wearing a mask or potentially not being vaccinated at all, In 2023, I’d never get anything else done.
You also have every right to throw “light ridicule” on the internet, but be prepared for others to comment right back on how silly it is.
The whole reason Covid is such a big thing is due to the forced medical tyranny. Under the guise of this plague. We see all our freedoms being eroded away. Forced to get jabbed to work. Forced to get jabbed to go to school. Forced to mark to travel. This is the reason why this is so polarizing. If only they didn’t force this stuff. We would never have to worry about or fight anything. The sheep can sit in a bubble for all we care. As long as they are not forcing the others to get on their loopy train too. But the reality is they are and it’s their way or no way. Which is why we have to fight and go the other way.
Religious idiots used to claim that vaccines were an evil product of science. Now, apparently, other idiots think the vaccine is an evil product of religion.
How does one get the new version of the vaccine without insurance? I’m currently unemployed and it’s been more than a year since my last shot. I want to get the vaccine but I can’t pay thousands…
I’m probably exaggerating but without insurance, I have to call up each place and each place has a different price. Thats at least hoe it worked with the tests recently. Some were over 100 just for the tests…f’ed up honestly.
Rat tests are about 5 to 10 bucks around here. They are not as accurate, but does it change the treatment if you have flu or covidy? Bed rest, fluids, painkillers, avoid people.
I could be remembering wrong entirely but, wasn’t Georgia and their government one of the main leading charges of making false election claims. So, they’ve now scapegoated themselves and pinning it on the Trump advisors.
Like “hey we only did this cause these advisors were the ones that motivated us to do this”
Yep, remembering wrong. Georgia was targeted because of a narrow race which made it a crucial battleground state. Why is that relevant? Well, it would not make sense to dispute the outcome in a state where it would not benefit. Qui bono. Who benefits? In this case, targeting Georgia would benefit Trump by being a bigger beneficial result, with the least amount of effort (easier to hide); because the vote count would be much closer. The legal question here is how did he try to win the benefit of victory in Georgia, after the election was over? Ex post facto means after the fact. Is there evidence that this effort was done in an illegal manner?
“Jab” got adopted in the US when the disinformation memes and stuff started flooding into social media. The creators of the memes learned British English, so they used British slang.
Since the very beginning of the pandemic there’s been a massive effort from the entire ownership class to get back to business as normal. Since the democrats stopped having a use for it to beat Trump in the election, the entire political class has been united in the same interest. It’s not that the new variants are less problematic or not distinguished enough from the previous variants to get an easily repeatable name (instead of shit like EX.420). It’s that the pandemic needed to be over so (for example) the price of oil would go back up above zero. To that end we’ve had a massive program of manufacturing consent from pretty much all sides in the media.
High childcare costs and having to stop their careers have put many women off having more children or any at all. Gender discrimination and traditional stereotypes of women caring for their children are still widespread throughout the country. Authorities have in recent months increased rhetoric on sharing the duty of child rearing but paternity leave is still limited in most provinces.
HONG KONG, Aug 15 (Reuters) - China’s fertility rate is estimated to have dropped to a record low of 1.09 in 2022, the National Business Daily said on Tuesday, a figure likely to rattle authorities as they try to boost the country’s declining number of new births.
China’s fertility rate is already one of the world’s lowest alongside South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Concerned about China’s first population drop in six decades and its rapid ageing population, Beijing is urgently trying an array of measures to lift the birth rate including financial incentives and improved childcare facilities.
China has said it will focus on education, science and technology to improve population quality and strive to maintain a “moderate fertility” level to support economic growth in future.

They should just do the same as Hungary: only count the "jobseekers", and disregard people from that list if they can't secure a job for too long. (Did happen to me in Hungary, except I was registered as a participant of the government humiliating "public employment" program, except I neither got the 8 hour job, nor the half the minimum wage.)
Hey come to Australia, you’re qualified to be given the same shit show here as well.
Oh and can’t forget some good ol’ disregard for the underemployed.
And they outsourced the employment offices, so all these dodgy companies get massive grants to help you look for work, which they don’t. As soon as you find work, entirely on your own effort, time, and money, they ring you and ask for details so they can claim they did it to secure some shitty bonus no doubt.
Sounds like the youth in Australia should start private unemployment offices…
Jokes aside, it’s sort of amazing how fucked Gen Z is across the globe in every aspect of their lives if they don’t have generational wealth to live off of.
Employment, housing, climate, it’s affecting Gen Z in almost every “developed” country irrespective of their political structure or beliefs. Millennials already had it bad compared to previous generations, but Gen Z has it 100x worse.
That’s literally how the US does it. If you include all the people who gave up and left the workforce, as well as all the unhoused people who are also purposefully excluded from unemployment rolls, suddenly we don’t have the “record low unemployment” they keep claiming we have.
