Notice The OFFICIAL Corona Virus Vaccine Game Thread........

The vaccines requires two shots, so we have two threads.

 

We have three actually. Its the battle of megalomaniacs. @THE HCP @SlyPokerDog @EL PRESIDENTE

 

Putting younger teachers ahead of the elderly is insane. So science is not really a factor after all. Fucking teachers union. I guess the free babysitting that the teachers provide is more important.

 

Brown defends decision to let teachers get Covid-19 vaccines before seniors

"“I’m asking these seniors to hold tight and stay safe for a few more weeks,” Brown said. “Many Oregonians are eager to get the vaccine. We are managing a scarce resource now. I wish we had more vaccines to give. Time and again this pandemic has forced difficult choices.”

 

Yes, I read that before I posted, which is why I came to this forum to vent. Older people die from covid at a much higher rate. A much higher rate. End of debate.

Question. Has Oregon used up all their allotted vaccines? She says she wishes they had more, but have they given everything out they do have? Everyone knew eventually the vaccine would be coming. Why are so many states slow to have a better plan?

 

This is a month or so old from a KGW report about Covid-19 deaths in Oregon, but I don’t see any reason why the proportions would change:

“More than half of those deaths are people 80 years old and over. Those between 70 and 79 years old made up about 22% of the death total. People 60-69 years of age made up roughly 15%.”

And we can assume that the misery of those who get really sick, but don’t die is hitting that same age range. A two week delay in vaccination of the most vulnerable population is practically criminal negligence in my view. And for what? If teachers start getting vaccinated next week, they won’t get their second dose until mid- to late-February. They won’t be fully immune until two weeks later. That means schools could start up mid-March or so. That is exactly when the new more transmissible variant is supposed to be the dominant strain in Oregon. Schools in Europe, where that variant is running wild, are shutting down because kids are getting infected and taking it home to their parents. Teachers may be immune, but the parents won’t be. This has the potential to cause huge impacts on community spread and the most vulnerable will be two or more weeks behind the curve in getting vaccinated. Madness.

 

I listen to her today say that all assisted living centers in Oregon have been done. Thats 100% false!

 

My wife is a retired teacher of 40 years and is bothered at this because she knows that the teachers will get their vaccine and most districts wont go back this year anyway. Plus substitutes availability is not there.

 

I say we form up an army of gray hairs to descend on the Capitol with walkers, canes and wheelchairs and chanting, “Hey, Kate, what do you say, how many geezers did you kill today?”

VAX REACTIONS
At least ten Americans suffer anaphylactic shock after Moderna Covid vaccine as Fauci says he was ‘knocked out’ by jab

 

I get my second shot today, Saturday, January 23.

 

I hope its a gorgeous chick with big hooters that gives you the shot!

 

It was more like a woman Marine with 15 years in the infantry under her belt would look like.

 

My second shot didn't feel much different than the first shot except I was wiped out from dialysis, came home and took a nap. After my nap, my two hips were a little sore just the same as they always get sore from a slight flare up of my arthritis. It's now after midnight and all pain is gone. Now, just wait 3 weeks and I'm 95% immune.

AND?
4,000 other people just died today from the virus. Thats not a bad ratio.

 

Reporting the news. Maybe its connected, maybe not. Its important to not ignore it rather than trivialize this death.
