I checked all the pharmacies in my area and no one had it, but it is now showing as available, albeit in limited quantities so I'll be working to get us scheduled ASAP!

Are they trying to make massive epidemic in U.S.? Because that's how you make an epidemic.

The US Gov. wants its citizens sick and feeble.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yep.... They are definitely trying to kill off the bulk of the population If there was any doubt.... It's pretty clear now

Or are extremely delusional and have a terminal savior complex. You'd be surprised to know how much people believe these kinds of bullshits, even if they start out as lies.

"A good liar will eventually believe their own lies if they were truth from the very beginning." - some of the people of the early far-right I could talk to personally. I even heard the "Truth is not on our side" line a bit too much.

I do think elephant graveyard's video on Rogan is correct. This is part of a plot by the technocratic billionaire class to purge the world of humans so they can do away with annoying things like "democracy" and "rights"

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 1 points 23 hours ago

You don't act like they do - just the money hoarding beyond belief, not to mention releasing products they know cause mental harm - if you want everyone to be OK.

at least we can "find comfort" in the fact that republicans are unlikely to want to get vaccinated.

I live in Ontario, Canada. I can just walk in to the local pharmacy and get the Covid, flu, and RSV vaccine for free.

The True North Strong and Free (except Alberta, their government are fascist Trump bootlickers.)

[–] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 15 hours ago

Stay strong Canada! I hope in a few years people will just think of Canada when you say "America" because it's the major civilized country in North America

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

RSV is available in the states, but you would have to be in the risk groups and its not eligible to everyone.

Please send help - an Albertan

We can help ourselves. They are dumb and will divide their vote again at the next election.

[–] ABCatMom@lemmy.ca 1 points 23 hours ago

Exactly. I know a few people who voted for her.. now they hate her guts and don't want to see her get reelected.

The GOP isn't just a metaphorical plague anymore.

"Pestilence" is such an underused word. They're a lot like locusts.

After seeing this, I attempted to check CVS for availability for myself and son since he just started back to school and hubby is immunocompromised from chemo, but they had a message stating they anticipate an updated one soon and currently didn't have it available. Good luck to everyone looking to protect themselves and others.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I just scheduled my updated covid shot through CVS this morning.

[–] Patches@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 day ago

I've had the same message for ~2 months now. Not sure what is going on with CVS.

How soon before we get vaccinations with thoughts and prayers ?

[–] yumpsuit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Prayers should be applied topically or to worn armor, written on parchment and attached to a stamped wax seal infused with holy oils.

Thoughts are often immunosuppressive and should be guarded against with tinfoil headwear or nerve staples.

Can someone from the US take a trip to Canada specifically to get vaccines? I have lupus and I really don't wanna die from covid. I live in an area where people are ride or die Trumpers and don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lupus is on the list of conditions that merit a vaccine for the under 65 crowd, since it is an autoimmune disease with immune compromising medications.

It's actually a pretty long list. Being overweight (BMI over 25), having ADHD, depression, being sedentary, being a current or former smoker, having substance misuse disorders, along with all the other ones you'd expect, like asthma, cancer, heart disease, transplant recipients, and anyone who needs a careworker.

As of now, you can self certify as being in one of these groups (you don't need a doctor's note). And your doctor can still recommend it for you if you're not on the list, as long as you don't have an anti vaxxer doc.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Oh awesome. Hopefully they don't ban vaccines for that list. Last time I had a simple cold I was almost hospitalized...

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At the rate that things are devolving, if you have the means, you may consider emigrating somewhere else. And maybe not Canada because we'll probably be invaded by your country in the following years, or months.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I don't have the means to completely leave. I wish I did

I can’t believe two Kennedys were assassinated, and this guy isn’t one of them.

Just got my second HPV vax and my understanding is I have to wait at least a month before I can have a different vaccine.

That said, I intend to get the Covid and Flu vax once its been a full month. They've never told me I can't do both of those at the same time.

Now, I'm not saying everything isn't a shitshow. Clearly it is. Based on the general insanity, I am 100% in favor of getting vaccinated sooner rather than later. But "might" != "will".

I'm quite glad you included article links. Careful, though; the image posted is how propaganda works. By itself, it is unsourced, apart from the Unambiguous Science logo at the bottom (which could have been put there by anyone). UnSci refers to itself as

No sensational headlines, no politicizing of science. Just evidence based information.

And as noted early in this comment, the image says "will revoke" while the reporting says "might/may revoke".

Last night I was hanging out with a few friends and they all started going in on "the clot shot" and Fauci making money off it and blah blah blah ugh

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Waiting for the "sounds like you need new friends" joke, but that's really a bummer. It's difficult to make friends and connect with people as it is, and then this shit polarizes us and makes what used to be a fairly private stance something that would rarely, if ever, come up in friendly conversation. Hopefully they aren't raging Nazis or anything...
