One time I wore a pink ribbon to show how much I care about breast cancer. It was about as effective as a mask.

Nice straw man. I am immunized against those. That means I am immune to those. That means I can't catch them. It means you can still go to Canada.
These versions of covid light shots that they are shooting people up with are not immunizing anything, you understand that part right?

The things men will say behind the safety of their keyboard.Really don't care what you do ol' girl.
When you were young and your heart was an open bookThe things men will say behind the safety of their keyboard.
You used to say live and let live
(you know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we're living
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
CDC investigating death possibly connected to Johnson & Johnson vaccine
But like the actual Covid, only a few in every million get blood clots and die, so that isn't too bad of odds.

We've been lucky in New Brunswick, low numbers, which is the only good thing that comes from being a drive through province. Hope everyone is healthy and safe. Looking forward to travelling when this is all over.

"Cause retired folks do not get a day off nor a vacation. It is simply the price we pay.
I'm in a similar boat. We have been laying low since the beginning and fortunately live in a rural area. Had first shot in mid-april with absolutely no reaction. All is good here. Due to get the 2nd Pfizer shot in August.

I feel your pain my friend. My friend up in northern Ontario, says its pretty good up there, though I guess the reservations are not a good place to be and being a nurse she would know. Tbay seems to be hot spot right now from what I hear as well.I'm retired so why do I feel like I need a vacation??

And example of RETARDED GRANDPARENTS
After Christmas , a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida ....Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass.
They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but all they do is jump up and down in it...with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts.
Nobody there cooks, they just eat out.. And, they eat the same thing every night -- early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.

I sure hope so. A few days ago they announced that the largest nearby hospital was at 100% capacity due to covid. I imagine some of the local small hospitals are available, just don't go looking for cutting edge care if you have a heart attack. The CDC begged our governor to shut down some activities, but all she could do was ask people to avoid indoor dining and bars, wear their masks and social distance etc. The Republican legislature and Republican Supreme court has struck down the law she used to institute earlier lockdowns. We'll see how far asking people to use their heads gets us.
Kinda between a rock and a hard place right now for many. All we can do is hope and pray that these variants don't mutate in to something that renders the vaccines that we have now ineffective. As for asking people to use their heads well I better just let that go. To have vaccines developed this quick that actually work quite well is a miracle, lets not screw this up.I sure hope so.

I am not getting any shots anytime soon. I am not a lab rat or a crash test dummy. None of the vaccines have had much testing prior to being rolled out. Noone really knows the long-term side effects yet to my knowledge. Noone knows how long the vaccine is effective for, assuming it's effective. That in itself is an assumption. I asked the doctor about it a while back and doc said that it's effectiveness (at that time) was 78%. Does that mean 12% are still going to get it or does that mean there is a 12% chance I'm going to get it or does that mean the symptoms are 12% less severe than without? There was no clear answer.
There are many unanswered questions. Hence, many unknowns. For that reason alone a lot of folks will call it a hoax. There might be some truth to that. I don't know. I know this: I didn't let it slow me down. And certainly didn't let it stop me from helping and praying for those who don't have a choice.
GF and I butt heads all the time about this and she is the first so gripe about me carrying it. Well even if I were vaccinated I'm still gonna carry it regardless, just like flu, I get the flu shot every year and I still get sick and still pass it on to others close to me. I've had the rona twice and pretty sure I can't get it a third time. If I could, pretty sure I would have gotten it already. First time was a little rough, fever felt kinda bad but it didn't stop me. Slowed me down. Second time was a cake walk but the worst part was I couldn't taste steak (or anything else). Second worst part was having to quarantine, meaning I couldn't even go to work. Mandatory 10 day vacation and no projects to work with at the house. That sucked. So I went fishing instead. 8 out of 10 days. Freezer is FULL. She had her vaccine done and had a reaction to the 2nd shot like a lot of folks have. They gave her a some more drugs to offset the side effects. Makes you wonder who's benefiting from this deal.
