Bingo. These people that are for it, have they ever been to the DMV? The post office? You want your doctors visits to be like that? I hope this whole process resonates with some people. You just wait until you have to get on a waiting list for a mammogram, mri, etc. oh sorry, we're all booked up until May. Get in line!

I didn't answer this poll when it came out. I got a chance to get the vaccine last week and I took it. They give you a card to show you've had the vax. I'm thinking I might need that if they ever open the Canadian border. Vax was a breeze - no side effects. But since I already had covid I didn't expect any.

My mom is getting her vaccine tomorrow. I will not say where but I will say my brother's friend owns a non-chain Pharmacy and he was able to get her in. He made a special exception otherwise she would have to wait until march/April somewhere else. I was told they are only giving what they have left of their vaccine supply tomorrow and then after that they do not know when they will get another shipment.

I tried to read up on the answer, no luck .
You can’t compare the numbers because they use different criteria and mean different things .

As an example Johnson and Johnson is likely the best of the lot ..not only one shot but it performed the best in keeping one out of the hospital and from death ..which is after all the name of the game ..it was trial tested in Africa as one of the locations and included the variants .

It has been the better choice for reducing the seriousness of getting it .

So while on the surface the media made it look the least effective it actually is the best in many opinions.

One of the best sources to learn is zdogg ..he has the greatest minds on the subject on his shows and this has become my one source for learning tha facts

Citifield opened there doors yesterday to vaccinate people 24/7. Only one small hitch. They are only getting 200 doses a day!!!

Ya, can't make this up. They had to pay to shovel out a subway station, just turning opening the gates costs money and all for 200 per day because the city is running it as opposed to the state at Yankee Stadium. Now I am not giving the distribution anywhere great marks, this is yet another DiBlobio screwup.

1. Scary
2. Not enough vaccine for anyone to "get out."
3. Govt fails because partisan obstructionists make it fail, then say "see govt don't work." Derp. Seems to work fine when we want it to rubber stamp wars and rain corporate welfare or trickle up money to the chosen ones. Incredibly effective.

+1000%


I already have an early retirement plan set in place when Biden socializes healthcare now that D's control everything. I'm not looking forward to becoming a government postal worker. I'll leave that to that young doctors who were indoctrinated by their liberal teachers to be widgets for the government.
