My sister is a bit that way. "No vaccines for me" yet is a heavy smoker and coughs a lot but nah vaccines and covid are not bad.

Ah, so my lungs are likely in poor shape due to smoking, but I'll take a risk by not receiving a vaccine that protects against a disease that impacts that organ. Makes perfect sense to me. ;)

It's pretty much that kind of thing..... She's officially a Karen now.
 
Finally got both of my vaccines. Took forever in the UK to get them. I’m amazed how quick America did it. People of my age group got both of them months ago

The UK is actually ahead of the US in terms of vaccinations per 100 persons. Differences as to when people got theris could be down to how the vaccine was rolled out in each country. I'm sure one of the Americans can say how the US roll out was done. In the UK it was largely down by clinical vunrability and age oldest to youngest.
 
Just in case:

No "embassy" or "consulate" or the like established by the Florida state government that I can see. But I am mildly surprised to report that Enterprise Florida Inc. has offices in Toronto and Montréal, but not in Edmonton or Calgary.

When we actually put effort into doing the right thing we can do it faster than most. It's even more impressive considering we were just coming out of the Trump Presidency and somehow cobbled together enough common sense to make a great show of it.

Of course correlation does not equal cause, but considering that he was on his way out might have contributed to the rollout success in the USA.
 
Talking with a coworker this morning whose brother in law works for the state of Washington. Take this with a grain of salt, but they've been told to expect an announcement from the Governor in the next few days the reimposition of mask mandates, capacity limits on business and the six foot rule in certain counties with high infection rates.
 
Many Tasmanians are a little pissed off. We have had our first case of Covid this year. A man was able to board a plane in Sydney (despite the Sydney lockdown)and fly to Melbourne and then board a plane in Melbourne to fly to Tasmania. As soon as he arrived in Tasmania it was found he did not have a proper pass to get into Tasmania he was sent to a quarantine hotel and was tested. Before he got the test results (which were positive) he decided to fly back to Sydney. So now all the people on those flights will have to isolate. At least it is mandatory to wear masks in airports so hopefully he might not have affected anyone.

Fingers crossed he hasn't
 
One of my colleagues took the Janssen (one dose only) shot, I believe it is made in cooperation with Moderna.... and after 3 days his wife started to complain he wasn't performing his "male duties" as he used to... :cool:
Now he's taking into consideration to sue the company since his wife wants to file for divorce :hugegrin:
And now I remember those words from "Men of Honor" where De Niro was warning Cuba Gooding Jr. :
"You know what the Chinese say cookie ? Beware what you wish for ! "
:D

I call B.S.

Show your Facefücked™ source please. I ain't holding my breath. You cain't even spell Johnson & Johnson correctly.
 
^^^ even if it was true how shallow is the wife if she is threatening divorce after only a few days of him not performing?

I posted this in the other forum but I thought I would post it here as well -

I just looked at a couple of videos on YouTube in which Americans criticise the lockdowns that Australia is having and the restrictions that have been put on people here.

I think the figures speak for themselves. The USA has a population 13x that of Australia but has had 677x as many deaths. The US rate is 1897 deaths per million, Australia’s rate is 36 per million.

Almost any--check that, every-- idiot can post bullshit on Youtube.

Unless most wise up we are headed for a rerun of the old Vincent Price movie.

actually that vaccine was developed in a belgian subsidiary of j&j named janssen. this is possibly the reason for the mix-up but i don't buy the story either

edit to add:
this story has all the ingredients of a not too well informed conspiracy theorist making up stuff as moderna has zilch to do with the j&j vaccine (the technology behind their vaccine and j&j's is totally different)
