Part of me wants to see these people put in a labor camp for a week for even making this comparison.

Hey elph. How are you feeling these days.
Are you allowed to go back to work?
… and what about the guy at work who had COVID?

i've had the first jab and expect to get the second in about a month/month and a half.

Hopefully the second dose will not have side effects! I'm supposed to fly back to Malaysia the day after! :fingers crossed:

Got the second dose, my arm hurt again and I had a slight feverish sensation the day after, but nothing too serious. Flew back to Malaysia with no problems.

Yaay for being fully vaccinated!

Hell ja! Which one did you get?

No wonder they joke about the Irish!
I got a text for an appointment for Karen, but at a vaccination centre. I rang them and spoke to a guy, explaining she was bed-bound and could not go and would have to be vaccinated at home. He listened, then said "So when do you think she'd be available to go?" I re-explained it to him, and he seemed to get it. I said "She'll never be able to go. This doesn't wear off or get better. She has MS and has had it for 20-odd years now. She will never be able to go to any vaccination centre. She needs to be visited at home."
He said he got it and would make the appropriate notes on the system.

Three days later I got ANOTHER text, asking her to go to the vaccination centre on a different date!

You can't speak with and organize something with your GP?

Trollheart · 07-24-2021, 10:22 AM

Last time I was told the doctor couldn't bring the vaccine over as it had to be transported under very specific conditions, so only the national ambulance service could vaccinate at home. That may have changed, but either way I need to ring her doctor on Monday, as SOMEBODY registered Karen, and it certainly was not me. I think the GP practice may have done so (without telling us) which has considerably muddied the waters.

"Covid-19 could be seen as the agency by which a Darwinian variant of "survival of the fittest", ie, "survival of the most intelligent" culls the stupid, the ignorant, the arrogant and the blind (not in a physical sense) from humanity, or at least America." Discuss.

Smug liberals deep in love with their righteous superiority apologetically sliding into some form of eugenicism is hardly novel...
