It’s messy allover. We shouldn’t have to worry about this. What’s worse; worry you’ll get Covid, die or give it to someone who dies or worry about how to get the shot and where?
There’s a way to fix this. I just know it.
I want it streamlined, in my own fantasy world.
And, if the government can’t be assed to make a real and true vaccine program that gets everyone in and vaxxed can we be sure they’re smart enough to give us good, safe vaccines, anyway.
Ok. Rant over. Sorry
@Aspenglow, I did not mean to imply my experience was like anyone else’s in this thread, my family or the world. But it was mine.
I told what happened to me just like everyone else.
So sorry if I overstepped.
You didn’t overstep, but you did assume the following:
I was simply pointing out that your assumption is incorrect. We’re trying to keep information in QZ factual as much as possible, so I felt I had to point out that your assumption may be true where you are, but it is far from universal.
You also made the following assumptions:
Unless you have factual data to support this assumption, it’s not a good idea to just post what you believe in this forum.
Which leads us to this next assumption:
If you have evidence or facts to support this claim that undermines faith in the scientists who formulate the vaccines, by all means post it. If you don’t, you’re just instilling doubt where there is no basis for it. I’m drawing a distinction between current overseers of vaccine availability and those who actually formulate the vaccines.
And a reminder that rants belong in the Pit.
Got my Covid last week, the flu shot the week before that, at a Walgreens here in San Juan. No muss no fuss, no charge to me, while picking up prescription refills was asked to the effect “we got it, have you had it?” and fill out a form to take to the other side of the shop where that is handled. All went smoothly and in a couple of days any discomfort was over.
Got my seasonal flu and Covid vaxx (pfizer) one hour ago. As explained in the other active QZ thread, it took executive action by Gov. Polis to bypass a legal snafu where the luke-warm Federal approval for the current generation activated protective legislation which required a prescription (see the hashed lines for Colorado on @puzzlegal’s chart).
IF it matters at all, I’m in a darn red city in a barely blue state - and there were 4 people lined up behind me. Though I was by far the youngest (at a “sprightly” 51).
