Renting refrigerated trucks at one point to store all the dead bodies.
Costco was the first retailer to have mask mandates in every state. Others followed and only within the last week are being relaxed. Not exactly due to osmosis.

I know this is probably a stupid question but do doctors have just certain shots or can they administer any that you want?
Not stupid. When I scheduled with Walgreens online in April, it showed Moderna as the only option. I did wonder about that beforehand, because initially I wanted to just get one shot (J&J) and be done with it.
As I said I plan to get it but I am just trying to time it right because I have my daughters wedding, a vacation and a couple of other things coming up and don't want to have it work out that I get the shot right before something and then feel bad. My wife however is still hesitant. It isn't just because of the vaccine she is one that hates taking medicine or supplements of any kind even stuff like Tylenol or ibuprofen. She never takes the flu shot either.

I’m not sure but in my experience it seems like places have a certain shot on hand. When I signed up for my first shot, I didn’t know which one I’d get until I showed up. Other places I’ve seen have said they have a certain brand in the sign up, but haven’t seen anyone set up where you could choose which one you’d want, but they may be out there.
There is no direct evidence, and no direct evidence to prove natural origin. There is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence to support the lab leak theory, starting with the fact that the whole thing just happened to start in the very place with the bioweapons lab. My "news" sources are from, among other sources, the noted right-wing conspiracy magazine The New Yorker, a Medium article from one of the most respected and decorated science journalists in the world, one Nicholas Wade, and also recent comments from none other than the former director of the CDC himself. Some real Alex Joneses, no? I would link you to the article, but they're well beyond your reading comprehension, so I see no point in doing so.
I work at a place that has administered approximately 4,400 vaccines thus far and have been pretty involved with the process.
Most places try to schedule only one type of vaccine each day, what kind they have depends on what their practice ordered. Seems like most places around here have both Moderna and Pfizer, with Pfizer being the most prevalent.
The vaccines have to thaw out, and each vial does multiple doses (10 for Moderna though that will be increasing, 6 for Pfizer) and expires after a certain number of hours. So preferably the try to schedule within multiples of 10 or 6, depending on which vaccine they are doing that day, to try to eliminate wasted doses.
Plus only doing one type of vaccine per day reduces potential errors like giving someone the wrong kind and makes it easier to schedule the second doses since Moderna is a 4-week wait and Pfizer a 3-weke wait. You can just pick one day and tell people to come back on this day without having to think about it any at all.
It would really make running a vaccine clinic a complete cluster*uck if we were administering both Moderna and Pfizer on the same day.
When people get their first does, we sign them up on a day that can fit into the schedule we are running. If that day is Moderna then they get Moderna, if it's Pfizer then they get Pfizer. They don't get to show up and be like "well I want Pfizer" when we are doing Moderna that day.

If you want the vaccine get it, if you don’t, dont. That should be the end of the story.
No need to denigrate or shame either choice.

Understandable. I had to take a covid test in late Oct. (negative) and the nurse asked if I wanted the flu shot since I was there and I said sure. Never gotten it before but the result was the same as the covid vax, just a sore arm. I probably did come at you a little hard looking back lol. It was late and some of the posts on the last page rubbed me the wrong way, so my bad on that.As I said I plan to get it but I am just trying to time it right because I have my daughters wedding, a vacation and a couple of other things coming up and don't want to have it work out that I get the shot right before something and then feel bad.

No problem. I think we’ve all been on edge between our horrible season and Covid.
Been taking one for 35+ years now and have yet to get the flu. Had a bout with double pneumonia in 89 that put me in the hospital for a week. It's a scary feeling when you can't sleep without sitting up.
I bet. No thank you.
I got the flu pretty bad in 2019 and didn't want it again and Covid on top of it.
It was my own damn fault. I developed a nasty upper respiratory infection and kept trying to treat it with over the counter stuff. Finally went to the urgent care, and my Dr happened to be working that evening. After a chest x-ray, he told me I had double pneumonia and needed to go in the hospital. I asked him if he couldn't just give me some antibiotics and let me go home. I told him I'd even take off work for a few days. He said..."I can do that, and you can go home and die...or you can go in the hospital and get better." I said..."well, if you put it that way."
I began receiving flu shots again a few years ago. Missed one cycle and caught the flu twice in early 2019. Could not really visit with my mom while she was confined to a nursing home in FL because I was so sick with the crap. Little brother caught it from me during my visit and required antibiotics. Have not missed a flu shot since.
I can tell you when I got my 2nd Moderna shot in late-Feb, that location was shooting up both Pfizer & Moderna that day. Moderna was the minority group as was for 2nd dose only.
At check-in, they handed you a colored-card ( I hope that's not racist.) coded for which vaccine you were to receive, one green, one pink. You carried it to the shooting nurse.
Shooting nurse?!?
See, if the poisonous vaccine doesn't kill you, the nurse will! Then I'm sure Biden will send your family a bill for the cost of the bullet! #scamdemic #plandemic #stopthegenocideShooting nurse? JFC
You also could have just said color-coded card like a normal human being would lol
now it is recommended to get covid booster shots... seems a little fishy to me. good luck to all the sheeple
Nurse at a major Lou hospital told us their management is only counting the workers vaxed for 6 months...then they will lose their status and have to be shot up again.
good luck
good luck
Zero side effects from second shot and arm was not even sore the next day. Same for my wife.
I'm fine with a booster. You're supposed to get Tdap and Tetanus booster shots every 10 years. Flu vaccine is a yearly thing. Other vaccines have booster shots as well. So COVID potentially requiring a booster shot is nothing particularly new in the vaccine world nor something unique to this particular vaccine.
So, if I want to travel to Europe next year, I have to do this again? This is ********. I shouldn't have done this in the first place, this is an absolute joke.
Just wear the damn mask. We're all in this together.Shooting nurse?!?
Doubt it. They won’t be able to track boosters on a whole nation. A hospital system is a bit different...but the more concerning thing is that they have no idea, some say 6 months, some experts say years to decades...but you can bet your *** they’ll be pushing quick boosters regardless of the truth.
And I'd also much rather get a booster shot than get COVID.
The anti-vax people are a repugnant lot.
I doubt what you were told is accurate. The cdc will lay out guidance on this. They haven’t done so yet. You’ve got people who Participated in clinical trials who are way past 6 months and they haven’t been told to get boosters yet.
Lol. The lady runs the unit. What I was told was accurate. I do hope they come to their senses and update the policy...but as of now, after 6 months they aren’t safe from having to quarantine after contacts and all the hassle from prior to vax.
I’m virus rated, Friday Night hydrated, and fully vaccinated.’,
BIATCHES!!
Got my two-shot entry card to “healthy privilege.”
On top of all that, I took my first shot at Kroger Field: it took a pandemic and an hour’s drive, but I got into the Club level for less than $1,750.00!

6 months from May 21 gets me to November 21.
Pop another mystery magical dose in my blue arse, AND I’M COVERED FOR THE REGULAR SEASON, NOW, AND THE BOWL WITH A KEESTER BOOSTER!!

sorry it upsets you. Don’t know why you are so defensive - I got no reason to lie, this policy impacts me in no way. Suburban women’s and children as of a week ago.
Ive been fully infected so I’m all set.
Dude - they are telling people infected in between shots to get the 2nd shot after the 10 day CDC clearance of infection.
They have been running 3rd shot trials all over. It’s coming.
It’s not a big deal (boosters)...but I think they will push them whether truly needed or not. Just as they push prior infecteds to immediately get shots w/no proper guidance. (2nd shot for prior infected actually weakens immunity)
But you have posted that you already have had the Corona, so you were fine for months, and probably years, anyway. At all events, you are double protected now.
