You know, if someone told me ten years ago that the phrase "I'm vaccinated" would turn me on as much as "Want me to suck your dick?" I would have called them insane.
"I've been vaccinated so many times I've lost count. Yeah, I'm such a dirty slut for the vax. Pfizer, Moderna, they've all been inside me. Sometimes I don't even know their names - if it's mRNA I let them put it in."
And, as always, everyone's forgotten that poor NovaVax exists.
Being serious for a moment: NovaVax is made in the "traditional" away vaccines have been made, which is good if you know someone who's anti mRNA vaccines. It has less and less severe side effects than Pfizer or Moderna. It's not quite as effective as the mRNA vaccines - but it tends to last a bit longer as well. It provides a different 'template' for recognizing covid, so it broadens your protection in that way.
One drawback is that if you want NovaVax in the spring, you need to get it early, as the batches tend to expire around April. (I time my shots for mid-May [max summer protection] and mid-to-late October [max winter protection].) I think I've had 3 Modernas, 4 Pfizers, and 4 NovaVaxs to date ...
And Pfizer is just the large scale producer, not the developer. That would be BioNTech, who licensed Pfizer to produce their vaccine. A classic tale of US-American hijacking of the laurels.
I was gang-vaccinated when I went into the military. Didn't stand a chance.
That is actually a thing btw. They sit you down in a chair, check your vax records and update you with everything you need all at once.
Lol, this guy thinks that they looked at our vaccine records 😂 🤣 big dawg they gave us all the same vaccines. You don't remember that every dude had to go through every station? It wasn't like "OK you go through stations 1, 4, and 5 for mumps, flu, and xyz because you've already had xyz vaccines." It was every dude getting every shot.
They did, or at least they did for us in the Canadian Forces. The medical staff were a bit surprised as I had some Asian exclusive stuff due to some of my travel when I was younger. We didn't go to individual stations, instead we all got sat in the chair one at a time and they essentially conveyor belted those needles into us.
That brings back memories of a reddit comment I'm going to paraphrase poorly: the US handling of COVID was so shitty that you couldn't get approval for it as a medical trial on ethics grounds.
The most tested and trusted vaccine in history, pushed into service after years of development leveraging SARS-1 and MERS, demonstrated efficacy, and we're just not going to fucking use it?
Then, despite knowing everything we know about vaccines and germ theory and how disease spreads, we're just going to make the flu vaccine optional, but only for one branch of the military? And people INSTANTLY started getting the flu with at least one death from it. At least we have a brand spanking new datapoint about what happens if vaccines got Thanos-snapped.
I am more than half convinced that there's a group of people at a high level in the US that are treating this whole thing like that story from the bible about the soldiers drinking water and going into war with a smaller army is proof that god helps them. That would go a long way towards explaining the advanced munitions usage as well.
You guys got a chair?
I walked past a line of vaccinators while in a line of other sorry SOBs, and we all got vaxxed one after another, assembly line style.
It was a nice chair. Or at least it was at St. Jean Sur Richilieu.
“Talk dirty to me”
“I believe in basic science…”
“Hnnnngh, I’m gonna explode”
Sounds about right.
