He flip-flopped mid sentence in that NBC interview.
“I’m going to vote for more weeks. I’ve told them they need more weeks”
Which was a stupid, nonsense response to begin with (“more weeks” isn’t on the ballot)
Then: “…I believe in exceptions; life of the mother, incest, rape” wait, so are the weeks just for rape victims? Or do they get more weeks?
He’s a fucking liar and I HATE that the media at the time only came out with “Trump says he wants more weeks in Florida” which was a win for him with people who cherry pick his promises like they cherry pick which Bible verses they follow
So a supplier was sent valves that were made with metal full of impurities then. I wonder how many valves fell into the combusion chamber and seized the engine while people were doing 60 mph on the highway?
To preface this, I’m totally for vaccines and have convinced others to get the COVID shot…
Two things… I haven’t found anything from a white paper to read up on this new vaccine. Like I think the last thing I found was like ‘its the best we got but local variants will persist.’ And my hesitation is that when ever I got my COVID vax and boosters… It fucked me up bad. I was useless for three days each time. I don’t react well to medicine… I can’t take a full xyzal without loosing a day. I did catch COVID once and I realize most logical reason it wasn’t that bad was because of the shot, but in my past I never get the flu or any thing that bad. Like I get sniffles at worse … so I guess I’m wondering/hoping I don’t need the shot… I couldn’t move those three days from the vax and I’m wondering if it’s another medication I’m overly sensitive to. But I will likely put up with loosing a weekend to try to consider others around me as I’m not sure how to prove or test that.
I guess my point is I’m looking for more data to make a good decision here.
COVID has long lasting effects across your entire body, it impacts your immune and cardiovascular systems for years after you get it.
Risks of heart attack, stroke, etc are increased 2.5x in the year after infection, increasing exponentially with the number of times you have been infected. In fact, the risk of pretty much ANY health problem skyrockets following a COVID infection.
Some people legitimately have a bad immune reaction to vaccines, for a wide variety of reasons. It could be a specific allergy to some component of the shot, or a number of other factors. This isn’t unique to the COVID shot. It’s relatively rare, but everyone who is unlucky to be one of that minority goes online to talk about it, so there this inflated sense of it happening that far outstrips the real world occurrence of it. I’m sorry that you have had bad reactions in the past. That sucks. Thankfully that’s not the experience of most people.
I am severely allergic to eggs so no annual flu shot for me but I have gotten multiple COVID shots without issue. I am a bit worried about a combo flu-covid shit in the future and will talk with my doctor about my options. I will say that it is possible to work with a physician or allergist and take half-shots of some vaccines. This is where you take half the shot in two spaced out doses to eventually get full coverage. I will admit that it didn’t work for me with the flu vaccine but it was definitely worth a try and the reaction I had wasn’t as bad as a full dose.
I haven’t found anything from a white paper to read up on this new vaccine. Like I think the last thing I found was like ‘its the best we got but local variants will persist.’
Would you be able to understand it if you did? Do you have the level of understanding of virology and vaccine research that would require for something on this level of complexity?
My grandfather was a lifelong Republican but also a great lover of the outdoors and the national and state park systems. The idea of putting up golf courses on park land would have sickened him. He wanted people in the future to have the same opportunities he had to enjoy camping, hiking, etc.
I don’t know why Rubio and Mast chose this moment to publicly fall out with DeSantis, but among the rank-and-file Republican voters there have always been individuals who cared about conservation.
My grandfather was a lifelong Republican but also a great lover of the outdoors and the national and state park systems.
The parks system was created by a Republican, but still, in recent years the GOP has been the party of resource extraction and climate change denial. It seems odd for them to pick an environmental issue, of all things, to beat Desantis over the head with.
The main players in the party just pushed that too far and didn’t realize so many there were nature lovers (especially in FL where there are protected bird sanctuaries on the beaches, the entirety of the Everglades, Gopher Tortoise and Sandhills Crane protections, etc).
reminds me of that brain rot drink Prime. Still surprised to this day how a fucking energy drink became a sensation among 10 year olds. probably wonders of social media.
A rhetorical staple of the Biden administration is that it’s ensured people have the tools to fight Covid—but that is not the case for people unable to afford the updated vaccine out-of-pocket, which typically costs around $200.
not enough people in this thread are condemning the actual root problem, which is the socially constructed bullshit standard of “if you look like you’re over 35, then no one wants anything to do with you.” especially if you’re a woman. it’s been this way for many generations. way before social media or influencers.
I agree with your points here but i think access to social media is exposing youth to that standard and the aceess to the products at an earlier age. This effect could also bleed into men in the sense of their standards for beauty become more unrealslistic as the top models are all they want on their screens.
I just got both COVID and flu shots at CVS on Friday. Walked in, got two little jabs, and was out in less than five minutes. Didn’t even ask for insurance or any sort of payment whatsoever. I left thinking “well goddamn, this is how it should go for everything.”
My wife’s work is having a free clinic next week, so I’m getting one or the other. I am staggering them by two weeks now though because I got them both at the same time a couple of years ago and felt worse than I did than when I actually got COVID (I’m still getting regularly vaccinated though). Last year when I staggered them, I felt fine both times.
I kind of feel like I should get the flu shot first just so that elderly people can get theirs when they need it, but maybe that’s not necessary.
