The Official Covid Vaccine Thread
 

Separate to the Covid thread: when are you and yours expecting to get the vaccine? Have you any issues with getting it? Have you got it yet? Do you feel you're being forgotten? What do you think of how the distribution is set up at the moment in your state/country? And many more questions.

I had assumed Karen would have it soon, but her doctor says the delivery for the OVER-75s was cancelled, so they have to get theirs first, which leaves us waiting even longer. Only the Great Pixie knows when I'll get it!

We can keep a note here of who gets it and when. Or not.

July/August for me. Checked on the NHS website. But they have slowed down the rollout cos of a vaccine shortage so might be a bit after that.

Will be having the vaccine yes.

Just like flu shots I'll probably just rely on the herd immunity of everyone else getting vaccinated to keep me safe

Just like with torrents.... There is this ethos online that if you torrent you should seed and not just leach of everyone else. I don't seed. Why expose myself to the extra risk when I get nothing out of it?

There's this concept in the social sciences known as the free rider problem. I am the free rider :D

I hope you kill your mother.

Then i hope you'll be wearing a mask until every person is vaccinated.

Wow, such a massive dick.

I'll get vaccinated. Not gonna lie, I'd rather it's not the Astrazeneca, but I'll take my chances with anything, rather than risk getting covid.

No idea when, registered in Malaysia but as an expat am on the bottom of the list so probably some time at the end of the year.

lol jwb's a pussy.

I'm in the last phase of the vaccine rollouts where I live which is tbd. They just started the second to last phase which is given to people with medical conditions, including being overweight, in ****ing America, so it's gonna be a while.

Have you told them you're an experimental musician?

Im not going to take it .

because meh ..... im still pretty young

:laughing:

This is so.. so... so jwb. I'm all right Jack huh?
Sorry but you're a moron if you think being young is any defence against this. Plenty of young people are dying. And what about those you infect if you get it?

Damn, I could've become one of their test subjects and I would've been certain I wasn't getting the placebo.

Surely you can ask them to give you the empty syringes, then you can glue them all to a board, wave it around, whoop like a money and hey presto! The new Jesus the Carpenter album! :laughing:

Whoop like a money?

Yeah, nice and young so you can go spread it around like Typhoid Mary. Awesome job being a plague rat.

Please help. I need a money

toxic masculinity much?

what exactly is pussy about it? i'm not scared of the vaccine just most likely won't bother

unless it's pretty convenient and cheap or whatever

That's cause you're such a good person, boy scout :rolleyes:

I wear my mask bro. I'll stop wearing it whenever society stops expecting me to wear it

Urm, unless this is one more of those symptoms of American liberal capitalism, the vaccines are free. In the rest of the world at least.

i guess i just mean convenient then. as in i happen to be in the right place right time.
i work a lot. dunno when i would get around to getting the vaccine.

And you wonder why people think you're dead inside. Nothing really seems to stir you emotionally so you have this kind of slug quality.

Not sure how that relates to the covid vaccine lol

I don't doubt that I'm emotionally stunted or just maybe numb in certain ways... But i usually just reject your piss poor attempts at Dr Philling when you clearly have a very limited understanding yourself.

You are overly emotive imo. EG "I hope you kill you mother." You are so easily filled with rage at things you perceive as moral failures in others that you are more keen on doling out retribution to fulfill your own emotive impulses than anything else.

That doesn't make you righteous. It just makes you a sinner who is all too eager to cast the first stone.

What bothers me is that you're definitely not the only selfish bastard, and that with all the other selfish bastards, the straight up antivaxxers, and hopeless cases like norg, we won't have herd immunity at all and this ordeal will continue. Be bothered for once.

That's the most pathetic post I've ever seen you post. Even for you.
Grow up dude. I work a lot too. Everyone does. You're nothing special.

Sure. Doesn't your money whoop too? No? Just me then. Oh I guess I meant monkey. Kudos on hoisting the grammar/spelling Nazi with his own petard. :clap:
Sure is
Jesus Christ on rye with mayo! You can't be bothered? You're a terrible excuse for a human being you know? If it was up to people like you and Norg nobody would get it, then we'd all die. Grow the hell up, yeah? Nobody's asking you to eat ten raw pigs for breakfast, just get up off your arse and go get a shot in your arm. I can effing guarantee you, if they PAID you to do it, you would.
Exactly. They want everyone else to do the work so they can be safe. I wont' say what I wish, but you know what I wish.
Damn straight. There are billions of people relying on every other one of those billions giving a **** and doing the right thing. Enough with the weak ass excuses. Be a man.

You said yourself that you're scared of the "risks" like you were about to try to sell us a crystal skull.

I deal with customers like jwb all the time. It's selfishness. Those kinds of people can't possibly fathom having any sort of compassion for another human being. They only care about themselves. It's the "who cares if they get sick, I'll be fine" mentality. Which goes hand in hand with the "I'm a piece of ****" mentality.

I've been checking for availability near me, and I'll get it ASAP. Probably within the next few weeks.

If the shot was a pill jwb would be the first in line.

Jesus Christ y’all love to be outraged lol. I, like jwb, will not be getting the vaccine until it has been rolled out enough to the point there are no shortages and the most vulnerable populations have the opportunity to be vaccinated first and it’s as commonplace as a flu shot, at which point, like the flu shot, I’ll probably opt out. As such, I too am relying on herd immunity as a free rider. I’m young and healthy and can rely on my immune system and hygiene practices to keep from carrying and transmitting the virus.

Call me a pussy, call me pathetic, tell me I’ll kill my mother. Or do I get a pass for having tits? When are you getting yours Charles? Surely your BMI categorizes you as morbidly obese and thus prioritizes your fat ass?

1. You're a stupid bitch.

2. I'm on the list but don't have a date yet.

I'm in the same boat as Bat. Must be nice for wwwp and jwb to not have to worry about anyone around them getting sick and possibly dying from it. Gtfo.

Yeah I'm surprised at you Steph. Christ in a speedboat heading down the Thames being pursued by the cops at full speed! Do you not worry about who you might infect? You could have it now, and not know it. I could have it now, and not know it, which is why a) I'm staying indoors and b) as soon as I can I'll be getting the shot. The level of selfishness and stubborn stupidity emerging here is almost frightening. Think of someone else besides yourself.

And no, you don't get a pass for having tits. Just for being a tit.

:laughing:

Same.

People thinking they're not included in the herd undermines the herd immunity that we don't achieve for flu, which ends up killing many per year.

There will never be immunity against the flu. There will never be immunity against a virus when the nature of a virus is to evolve. By the time it makes sense for me to get a shot I’ll bet you it won’t protect against whatever new strain is being spread now.

I volunteer through my work to vaccinate the community, literally setting up pop-up clinics and distributing the vaccine.. I believe in science and understand how vaccines work, I also understand how displaced anger and groupthink works.. Go stroke your self righteous boners elsewhere and out of my face pls.

And yeah it is nice to think of only myself that’s clearly my nature you guys nailed it

You and jwb did it first, so nah your take is still dumb.

*circle jerks harder*

Man...how dare i think of others. Thank you for putting me in my place.
