That idiotic stunt almost certainly saved lives.

Even if he had it would be a short article.

Statistics. The end.

Well this isnā€™t good and could clash with the current US trend of going to fully open schools

Yes, the UK variant will clash with alot of current US trends, one of which is OFS a few hours a week

When are the kid trials for pfizer supposed to be complete?

Something my dumb self has been kicking around as Iā€™ve started to see more family and friends vaccinated. There definitely is a ton of variance between people who have had strong reactions vs. those that barely felt a thing on shot 2. Thought that it was mostly a young vs. old thing, but Iā€™m starting to wonder. Hearing stories of people who wake up in the middle of the night and get clobbered and it made me consider if those with super strong reactions to the vaccine might be those that would get the worst of an actual COVID-19 infection?

no way of knowing that, and you canā€™t draw a good line mechanistically for it.

Zerohedge has gone full antivax apparently. Their post isnā€™t even that bad, but based on the comments - holy cow - theyā€™re pandering to their loony antivax base and they know it.

If you read the actual article from CBC - only 2 staff members and 10 residents tested positive. Some hadnā€™t even had their second shot yet, and none got very sick.

Just got the email from the state health dept saying I am eligible for the first jab. Has a link to click to sign up that generates about 100 locations. None of them have any openings. Looks like Iā€™ll be doing some online sniping to try and catch an open slot somewhere.

Try 4am to 6am - that worked for me.

MyTurn.ca.gov is struggling a bit right now. Thinks Eureka is 9.18 miles away.

Not too sure about those hours of operation either.

Booked my vaccine appt for Friday.

Also found out my one roommate who has been YOLOing for the last year because staying home isnā€™t fun decided to just bullshit her way into getting a shot yesterday. She brought an old pay stub from the restaurant we worked at and when called out on it lied and said she just got rehired. Just the shittiest ā€œniceā€ person Iā€™ve ever met in my entire life.

Where are they actually requiring this kind of proof? I thought pretty much every state was working on the honor system as far as vaccine eligibility is concerned.

Iā€™m not sure where she got the shot. I was told the story from another roommate. But yeah Iā€™m surprised somebody actually checked the dates on the pay stub and saw it was several months old but then was somehow ok with her just saying ā€œoh ya I just got rehired and donā€™t have a current pay stubā€ as verification.

Got jab 1 today. A nice birthday present.

Pennsylvania access continues to suck. No coherent system. Location by location hunt and peck.

NY opens it up to 60+ today. Next week NY opens it up to basically all public facing workers. Weā€™re getting there.

Pro tip: Donā€™t allow yourself to start thinking about getting the vaccine or you will start to get really antsy about getting your vaccine.
