Wanted to add that YOU did not cause any issues to be sorry for. You have shared honestly and openly, and - again - regardless of anything else, you got lucky and got a vaccine according to the rules and regulations in place for your area at the time you went.Quote:

Thinking something and actually doing it are two different things. Ultimately she shared HONESTLY, but did NOTHING wrong. If we were all condemned as you are doing for what we "think", no one would be excluded.Quote:

If you are willing to share, I would like to know if you get side effects with the 2nd. I go for my 2nd Moderna next month and hear mixed results - which makes sense, as we are all different.Quote:

Anyway as for cheating are the states/cities that are offering the vaccine to everyone 16 and over "cheating" the states/cities who aren't even offering it to 64 year olds. Because it's not available to over 50 or over 60 (but under 65) here yet unless you can show preexisting conditions (oh and on those preexisting conditions you can't even say "I have diabetes" and prove it, by the rules it's only available to A1C of uncontrolled diabetes etc.), but apparently some places you can be a perfectly healthy 17 year old and walk right in.
The problem is the government has opened everything up (what a bunch of jerks they are) instead of rationally keeping things closed until a couple months from now when everyone is vaccinated (you want to talk immoral: this government action is it - only like 2 months and everyone would be vaccinated but they can't wait to open restaurants - the government has chosen commerce over human lives all along, they let the hospitals get overwhelmed for xmas shopping), and yet high risk people say 60 but under 65 or those with preexisting conditions that fall just under the line, STILL can't get the vaccine.
Just a bit of nuance, that this vaccine thing isn't some platonic ideal of fairness to begin with, because yeppej chose to open a random attack on a forum member who had done nothing to her, drive by shooter style.
I have the same reaction Apathetic, that some states have it much, much easier than other states, and I would prefer that the standards be country-wide. By age, by exposure--so anybody who works in a grocery should get it right after healthcare workers, as should teachers. But it has not played out that way, and I have found it pretty disheartening to hear stories of healthy people getting shots before people like my son's bil, with multiple organ transplants.Quote:

I think Ignore is a good option. I am going to use it for a member who openly admits she has no problem being dishonest. I like to have online conversations with people who are honest. Thank you for making this suggestion Razz.Quote:
