Saw this in a scicomm feed. Hope it reaches someone. ❤️
Are they trying to make massive epidemic in U.S.? Because that’s how you make an epidemic.
LPT: Go get a shot, now.

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”

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

FYI there are NO COVID vaccines that are covered by the VICP (www.hrsa.gov/…/covered-vaccines). They are only covered by the CICP. If you are medically injured from a COVID vaccines the CICP will not ever pay you pain and suffering or other damages. They will literally only cover medical bills which you didn’t get covered already from your insurance. You will fight for years and years just to get that covered and that’s if they even cover you at all which they probably won’t. I was personally injured by a COVID vaccine and I am one of only 39 people to have received a medical payment for my injury. (See data here: Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) Data | HRSA share.google/Ncd8NXbzK2cAdFkTO)
Do not get a COVID vaccine if you don’t need it. Demand your local government officials make adding COVID vaccines to the VICP list!

11 cases per 100,000 from vaccine
infection with SARS‐CoV‐2 increases the risk of myocarditis by 16‐fold from 9 cases per 100 000 to 150 cases per 100 000.
I’ll take my chances lmao
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 months ago
the newer vaccine seems less likely to cause that too.
Skysurfer@slrpnk.net 7 months ago
Who pays if you get myocarditis from COVID?
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Why? Since COVID has become something similar to a flu it’s only advisory for people with high risk profiles to get the vaccine.
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
I still don’t get why my comlent was removed. Is there any log with comments?
Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Yeah true, kinda like how the flu shot is also widely available and free most autumn and winter time periods. Weird.

It isn’t like the flu and all the non-liars know it.

I mean, I caught COVID a few months ago and it telt quite like the fly to me. And that’s the same for most of the healtgy populus.

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

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

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.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 months ago
i tried asking for meningicoccal vaccine, but im not at risk so i wasnt given one, or the hpv one,. i was asked about the chickenpox vaxxine once, but i had CPOX when i was young, and shingles when i was 20.
ericatty@infosec.pub 7 months ago
I’ve gotten Covid and Flu vax at the same time. I prefer it, I usually get a fever and my arm gets really sore. One time I tried one in each arm, and I had two sore arms for a couple days instead of one.
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
If you really want the vaccine, just follow the advise of your physician. They’ll know or find out wheter you can combine them.
If your a normal, healthy person there is no need to get the vaccine though. I get the flu shot every year because my employer offers it and I’m just a big wussy.
Dohnuthut@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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 7 months ago
I just scheduled my updated covid shot through CVS this morning.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 months ago
i would just ask your insurance if they allow vaccination at other pharmacies, like walgreens, i know they allow fre flu ones.
Patches@ttrpg.network 7 months 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 7 months 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.
sudoer777@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
When are we supposed to get the flu/COVID vaccines? Right now?
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yeah we’re going into flu season soon. And covid vaccines actually should be updated even more often than flu.
sudoer777@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
I just checked Costco and it says the covid vaccine is unavailable
NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
You guys have flu vaccines? In the UK only old people get them.
thingAmaBob@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’m not sure what the data is for children, but after speaking with my doctor (who has gotten vaccinated multiple times) says they don’t believe the vaccination will be very effective this year since there is no clear data on its effectiveness. They basically they said it’s probably not worth it. They highly suggested the flu vaccine though. Take that info for what you will. I’m not sure what I’m doing yet.
Valmond@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I read that it’s still effective because the latest version is an ofspin of one strand compatible with the vaccine.

Libz are such idiot they turned vaccine into political culture war bullshit.

Defectus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I Bhere were some vaccines that was believed to cause blod clots. I have a friend (35m) who got a stroke caused by blood clots after hos shot. If it was the vaccine or anything else is hard to say
massacre@lemmy.world 7 months 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…

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 7 months ago
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 7 months 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 7 months ago
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 7 months ago
I don’t have the means to completely leave. I wish I did
DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
I am not a vaccine sceptic but I am curious as to why America still vaccinates everyone for Covid. In Sweden we haven’t cared for many years about getting vaccinated and it hasn’t been a problem. The vaccine is available to get if you need it. But it’s not something we collectively vaccinate for any more.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Shelbyeileen@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You guys have benefits to protect you, if you get sick. Americans barely get sick leave, medical bills are ridiculous, and if covid leaves you crippled, SSI (Disability) pays a whopping $11k a YEAR. It’s not enough to survive on, despite paying taxes. Yeah, someone might have worked enough hours to get SSDI, which is a few dollars more an hour, but still not enough to cover rent.
DaTingGoBrrr@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
It’s pretty fucked up that you Americans can not be home when you are sick.

This makes the wearing of N95s and routinely washing your hands triply important. Put your masks on people.
Outside of the US, mRNA vaccines are too expensive, now that governments have ended subsidies. I’ll stick with my old school SinoVac vaccine as they’re what I can afford, and they got me thru the worst of the pandemic. Thank you Chinese government for putting people over profit.

CubitOom@infosec.pub 7 months ago
So if one already had a dose of the previous booster about a year or so ago, would it be helpful to get the same version of the booster again now?
Is the post simply suggesting to people that haven’t yet had the booster go get it? Or is it saying you’re better off getting the same booster again rather than nothing?
Also, I’m assuming people with the means to go to a different country without these laughing stock “leaders” would be better waiting for those countries to approve and release up-to-date vaccines.

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".
happybadger@hexbear.net 7 months ago
I just got one of the current strains. It felt just as bad as the ones in 2020. Vaccination is totally warranted.
Dohnuthut@lemmy.world 7 months ago
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!
