Got second Pfizer shot Friday, bit of a sore arm Sat and that’s all. Felt fine the whole time.  

[tanatastic 2,061]

Got 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday. Feel lethargic today and a sore arm. I will now turn over all my guns and rights to Obama. The mind control chip is real! Drobeski was right all along! Damn you Obama, DAAAMN YOUUU!

Huh...after claiming how the vaccine is "fake" and you'd never get it, you actually got it anyway? Interesting.....

It has a good whiff of internet bullsh1t about it but what do I know? Having the MSM 'fact check' things isn't nearly as reassuring as it once was. Reuters is better than most, so maybe it moves the needle a click or two or three.

To me Reuters isn't any better.

I thought no way they would have a vaccine for this but it happened so I got it. Especially because it was free, I had thought it would be like 40k. I don’t buy into Drobeski nonsense like worldwide conspiracies and Clinton mind control microchips so I’m all for it. Felt like utter crap the day after but today I feel fine again.

Well to be true that you can get a miscarriage and whatever else they're claiming about "reproductive issues from being NEAR someone that got the vaccine, I assume that means they think the vaccine itself causes miscarriages and whatever else they're claiming about "reproductive issues"?  And yet after 2 BILLION vaccines given, there is no evidence of that.   

Sure, I guess it may not be 100% confirmed, but there is no evidence that it's true and yet you've got "brown shirts" doing stuff like this:

No really what are they going to do when we need this shot each year like the flu shot? It will become notmal to have to carry vaccine paperwork to be able to attend certain things? 

Or are people predicting this goes away and we dont need boosters and year shots for variants?

LOL if people think the bar/restaurant industry was only hurt because of shutdowns.     Lots of people like MDC that simply chose not to go (or at least not as often) even once they were able.

Most of the places I know that shut down were because they didn't make any changes to keep cash flowing.  One restaurant in town just closed temporarily which led to them being closed for good instead of trying to run a takeout business, which would have been great.  Our local brewery did takeout service for their food and beer, they did just fine.

Many places tried to adjust.  Many places dont get most of their profit off of food.  Drinks especially well drinks make them the money.  

When shutdowns happen people get in the routine of not going.  When they reopened with masks and limited people a lot of people said screw it Im not going to go back until things are 100% back to normal and the bar is a good time again.

I want normalcy. That's all I want. The masks don't get us there. They make things worse. Look at you... You're scared of people without masks on. That is not normal. 

 

Yeah- to be clear, I’m not arguing or disagreeing. You are correct- it’s NOT normal for me to be scared of people without masks. I can’t believe I turned into “that guy” but it did get to the point I was not comfortable being around unmasked people. Guess I credit it to the constant fear mongering and the hundreds of tourists I have to deal with on a daily basis- plus, I pretty much don’t like people in the first place.

Masks don't work. Sure they prevent the big droplets from getting out but they don't do very much for the tiny droplets and absolutely nothing for aerosols. So next time someone rips one out just think COVID.

Yeah- I told people early on, I don’t believe the mask can stop this thing, but if it’s required to keep the doors open, I’ll wear the focker. Our mayor is a vindictive who has shut down multiple businesses during the past year. 
Today, this appeared in local news, effective May 14, ALL COVID restrictions are lifted-EXCEPT the mask mandate. Go figure.

It's literally the thing I hate the most. It's the thing the CDC says is lower than avoiding people, social distancings, and using proper hygiene. Fock man.

I'm cool with everything else. I just don't want people to try and force me to wear a mask.

Think it depends where you live.  Nashville pretty much shut down everything and after partially reopened- the mayor would again shut down anyone who spoke out against his policies. The place I work had the Board of Health and a doctor from a local medical set up our operating procedures and they came in to monitor us in order to let us keep the doors open. 
There’s still a ton of hospitality workers out of work in this town. 
 

Hopefully that changes next month when ALL restrictions are lifted- except the mask mandate. HTF is a business going to enforce that when everything is wide open again? 
Our mayor speaks fluent double talk, so I won’t be surprised to see him use the mask mandate to once again shut down or fine businesses if the owners speak out against his policies.

My neighborhood is full of bars that are open. Sore you have to wear a mask to enter / sit but that’s about the only restriction. Not surprisingly the only people there seem to be 20-somethings.

It’s not worth it to me. I’m in good health in my 40s but I have elderly parents and don’t want to gamble with my kids health. I went out to eat twice last year, both times outdoors and once was my anniversary. I’ll roll the dice on that. Going to bars just seems like a needless risk. My gym is operating now too but I cancelled my membership for the same reason.

After I’m vaccinated I’ll go back. Not worth it for now.

No but living my life is.  Many of us have been back to work for around a year.  Im not that afraid to go to a bar a year later.  

Im not a big bar guy.  But I dont really go as much right now because it is just the regulars.  The bars arent that great right now because through the wash a lot of people just do without now.  

Im not obese nor old nor do I have any serious health problems.  Old fatties should stay home if they are afraid to catch the covid.   Thats cool.

If you are obese and old or do not have the vaccine then stay home.  If you are a healthy individual.  Or young.  Or got the vaccine.... then be normal.  

I have elderly parents. They both got the vaccine.  Life should be normal now.  Get the fatties out of public.  Get the old people vaccinated.  And tah dah!  My grandparents in theit 80s watch 1 of their great grandchildren who is 5 once a week.  He goes to school.  They did this for thr last couple years.  Before thr vaccine.  With a germy kid.  They werent afraid.  

What happens when covid is still lingering around next fall?  What happens if there is a slight spike at th4 start of flu season? Back to the cave and wait it out?  

Id hate to live so afraid.  But to each their own.

When I was in Nashville right after Christmas I was surprised by the amount of places that were open.  Has to wear a mask into establishments but took them off as soon as seated so it wasn't a big deal.  We had a great time there.

Yeah, I'm a mechanical engineer, by degree. I work as a Process Engineer, which is typically a ChemE, but sometimes a MechE like me. It's more of an equipment engineer role - I make sure the processing equipment is ready for use, do equipment modifications and upgrades, troubleshooting, and develop maintenance and calibration plans, among other things. At the risk of sounding Digby-esque, I had to make sure the mRNA manufacturing equipment was ready for the Covid vaccine production, and I'm the one they'll call if any mechanical issues come up.
