The VACCINE doesn't keep you from getting it, and doesn't keep you from spreading it. Thus the need to continue with mask-wearing and distancing, even after both shots.<br /><br />I used to get the flu shot every year, until I had a bad reaction to it shortly before I retired. Haven't had one since. Haven't had the flu. I only had the flu once, back before I started getting the shots. I don't plan to get the VACCINE. Hick is old enough and sick enough, but he doesn't want it, either. Several of his cronies have gotten it, and some are waiting. No severe side effects for them after their first shot.<br /><br />We know of people around here who got an appointment and the VACCINE, and are NOT in the correct tier to receive it. They had registered and got notified. Seems to be who you know on the county health board...unless they were lying about ages and illnesses.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-70791727982457891272021-02-26T11:31:03.037-06:002021-02-26T11:31:03.037-06:00I registered with my county health department, as ...I registered with my county health department, as we both do qualify. It has been three weeks and I still haven't been offered an appointment. I figured the extreme cold temperatures had them rearranging appointments. I am mostly ambivalent about getting the vaccine. I don't get flu shots. I also don't go out much around here, preferring my own company to that of the locals. Who knows, I may have a natural immunity. I am content to wait and see if they ever get around to me. If they don't, then maybe I shouldn't get the vaccine?Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-9051675913468968722021-02-26T01:20:04.413-06:002021-02-26T01:20:04.413-06:00Maybe they expected the small town people to use c...Maybe they expected the small town people to use corn cobs instead of toilet paper! So instead of asking "Can you spare a square?" to the person in the next stall, you could say, "Can you lob a cob?" Heh, heh. I amuse myself. Sorry you're not a Seinfeld fan to get that spare-a-square reference.<br /><br />They're giving the VACCINE in the pharmacies and Walmarts and grocery stores around here. Even Country Mart! Not sure how to register, but then I don't currently qualify anyway. Not old enough, not sick enough, not a front-line worker.<br /><br />I'm sad about the oldies getting 4X the VACCINE, but your comment made me laugh, because "hoo-ha" is an expression that some of my cronies use as a euphemism for a woman's private parts!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-62269106807289566992021-02-26T01:10:20.197-06:002021-02-26T01:10:20.197-06:00I sure don't have the solution, but I have an ...I sure don't have the solution, but I have an opinion. And you KNOW what opinions are like!<br /><br />I just read that the county north of us CANCELLED 1,900 appointments to get the vaccine, because somebody had shared a sign-up link (that was supposed to be private) on social media.<br /><br />The people who had gone through the process properly were sent an email by the county health department, to schedule their appointment. The county health department canceled the 1,900 appointments of those who had NOT been sent an email invitation after registering on their website.<br /><br />https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/vaccine/jefferson-county-cancels-covid-vaccine-appointments/63-c8a00e2c-608a-470c-a2ff-5db8c9ee29dc<br /><br />As they said in that movie The Legend of Billie Jean: "FAIR is FAIR!"

People in the cities travelled clear across the state to smaller towns buying up THEIR stocks, leaving the smaller towns to do without. My reaction? HOW DARE THEY! Do they think the smaller townspeople will somehow manage without toilet paper and not mind that their city cousins came and bought it out from under their noses?<br />With the vaccine, there doesn't seem to be any of that malarkey happening here, people know they will get their dose when their turn comes around and by then it may be available from local doctors and chemists. There was a bit of hoo-ha a few days ago, when a doctor received vaccine doses but failed to read the instructions letter and gave a few eldery people four times the amount they were supposed to get, they oldies landed in hospital, but were thankfully okay and the doctor got fired.
