Strange, so you are protected, you would apparently protect from transmitting too SO why unvaxxed to COVID (not antivaxx, little schmug) would have to isolate on an island?
Not everyone who wants to be vaccinated against covid can be vaccinated.
And not everyone who is vaccinated can receive the full benefits of vaccination due to being immunocompromised.
As someone who gets a Hep B vaccine every single year, I do what I can to protect myself, but my body is incapable of producing antibodies long term, it’s because of an autoimmune condition, not because the vaccine isn’t widely effective. I’m always going to be more susceptible to it (and I work in healthcare so I have to keep getting the vaccine). I’m lucky I only have this issue with hep b, my other vaccines seem to have “taken”, but I’m not alone, there are many people out there that have this issue with various vaccines.
My cousin had an anaphylactic reaction to the flu vaccine a few years ago, he can’t take it again. He’s in a vulnerable position because he has a trachy, so his airways don’t have as much natural protection. He has to trust that his co-workers will stay away from him if they catch the flu, because he can’t get vaccinated even though he wants and needs to.
Would’ve been better to say something like: Don’t get as sick and potentially die when you do catch one or both of these viruses. Also stay home when you’re sick.
It does technically reduce transmission potential, though indirectly.
If you do contract covid or the flu after having been vaccinated, you are less likely to have severe symptoms, including coughing and sneezing. If you’re not coughing up a lung all over the place, you’re not spreading as much as someone who is hocking loogeys over everyone else.
Except everyone I know who got the shot has gotten sick way more frequently then those who didn’t. That’s backed up by the data that shows the shots give an initial boost in immunity, but slow negative effectiveness long term
Yeah… For people saying COVID is “just the flu”, I had a friend who ended up in hospital with COVID… When I got covid and thought I may have spread it to her (fortunately she got lucky and somehow didn’t get it) , she pretty much started prepacking for hospital.
It’s still a super serious virus, same as the real flu…
I know four people who ended up in the hospital from COVID, one in a medically induced coma for a couple of weeks. All except one of them is in their 30’s or 40’s and in good physical condition, the exception is a friend’s young child who is in the ICU right now and they’re not sure she’ll survive…
I just went to sign up for my covid shot and it asked me to update my insurance information. I have no fucking answers for them so I stopped filling out the form.
I highly recommend staggering them though. I did them both together last year and felt so sick that I had to take a day off of work (still better than COVID or Flu). This year, I had a COVID booster and I’m getting a flu shot Monday. The COVID shot did nothing to me but give me a sore arm and flu shots never do anything.
Also get your dogs rabies vaccines! We are getting dangerously close to having less than 80% of the dogs in the US vaccinated. This will cause pockets of disease in your pets.
Flu shots are only given to the elderly and vulnerable where I live. It’s weird to see people talking about getting the flu shot like it’s a normal thing.
Didn’t pfizer have to be court ordered to release the results of their testing with the vaccine though? Whether the vaccine works or not that’s shady as hell
For my part, I was listening to a doctor McCullough testifying in front of a senate committee. Talking slowly, calmly with experience and common sense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAHi3lX3oGM
I never seen the so called expert defending the vaccine who was not treating me like a dumb and a potential assassin.
Imagine being the model. Alright, you look amazing. Now drop your pants and pretend to take a shit. Yeah thats it, just a hundred more photos in different lighting. Perfect, thats the one we upload to the internet
Funny thing, originally Dry Bowser is actually just Bowser, but dead (undead?).
He became like that when thrown into lava in New Super Mario Bros world 1, came back fighting as a skeleton in the last world, then Bowser Jr threw his bones into black magic soup or something and that revived him as good old meat Bowser.
But after that Dry Bowser became a separate character, probably because Nintendo loves having dozens of slightly different variations for every character.
Just saying, Paper Mario and Pink Gold Peach are referred to by material too, it makes sense. Also there’s a gorilla that’s entirely made of Funk, which as everyone knows is one of the five classical elements of the universe.
It’s a comic strip so it fits the community. I guess some people are voting based on how well a posts fits a community which is often the right approach. For example if you see a news article you don’t like posted in a community titled “news” it would still be beneficial for the growth and diversity of the community to upvote the post.
