It also seems to bring out catty backbiting and judginess in people.
When something is wrong it should be judged. This is this sense of the word in the Bible where judgment is intertwined with notions of justice and righteousness.
There used to be a strong ethic around this. For instance, young men gave up their seats on lifeboats on the Titanic to women and children so they would not die. Now we have an everyone for themselves ethic where healthy people think it is okay to cheat and lie so their health is not impaired never mind if someone else dies. If you don't think this deserves judgment then your standards are pretty low, and I have to wonder if you only judge people who you know to be Republicans. What about Democrat Cuomo letting his friends and cronies jump to the head of the covid testing line ahead of other more vulnerable people. Is that something you also think should not be judged?
You certainly haven't hesitated to judge and insult me because I disagree with you on mask policy though I have followed all the laws in my very strict state regarding covid, and have not cheated or lied to get around covid regulations. At one point I recall you wishing I would die, and on numerous occasions you directed profanity my way. Is that judgy?
Sorry for causing issues here. I personally have never brought up covid to anyone other than family as I underStand there are so many sides this was the first time and last time. After this posting I checked last evening on why I was allowed shot last week without questioning me or reasons. When there were extras or cancellations anyone could walk in no restrictions. Ford Field had so many extras yesterday anyone could walk-in later. I suppose each part of country is different.
I am really glad you were able to get your first shot, BikingLady. My condolences on the loss of your dad--I went through same with my dad this past year, and there are no words for how terrible it is to be separated at the end of life, when you have always been there for your parent. The pain is unrelenting.
I have had no ill effects from Pfizer shot #2 and it has been 44 hours. I think I am in the clear.
I dont normally have reactions to vaccines anyway.
DH had no side effects from the second shot, either, but if he had any they were probably masked by the pain he had from extensive oral surgery yesterday. Glad to hear you're fully vaccinated with no ill effects, IL!

This is very common Biking Lady. You did not deserve attack. I gave vaccines yesterday. We had several no-call/no-shows. It is critical that we administer every single precious dose of this vaccination. Expiration times are strict and we do not administer even 1 minute past. And with J/J it is super critical as the administration window is just 120 minutes where the others are 6 hours.
Every non-hospital administration site in town has a waitlist and you are required to appear within 30 minutes. Our desk secretary was calling ahead yesterday to get folks to come earlier. Our pharmacists are working hard to time thaw/dilute/drawup/label in a timely manner so we never give cold vaccine nor make a patient wait. A runner brought me 4-6 at a time and then as the morning aged just 2-3 at a time. My last administration, I took the last one on my neighbor vaccinator's table so it was a perfect flow and not a 1 to be rushed into an arm after lunch.
PLEASE be proud, Biking Lady, that you prevented the waste of a vaccine. I applaud you for making a last minute dash to get it!!!!
Fantastic! Yup, at 44h you're all clear
It's the same in my area. If you happen to hit the right place at the right time and there are extras - it's a legit win. Good for you!
Don't mind the whining of others as it seems to be how THEY are dealing with things - not a reflection on anyone but themselves.

I'm not surprised that you haven't brought up outside of these forums that you planned to lie and say you were a smoker so you could get a vaccine you were not eligible for. In the language that has been suggested that I use, I would not be okay with that. I think most people would not be okay with that, and that's probably why you were quiet IRL. I was surprised you would admit to this plan here. Maybe nothing should surprise me anymore.
And as also suggested here I am telling you this person to person not third person.
