I don't know how having a clot could save your life, but here is this....

Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Linked to Blood Clotting: FDA

Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to blood clotting 4 in older individuals, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

FDA researchers, crunching data from a database of elderly persons in the United States, found that pulmonary embolism—blood clotting in the lungs—met the initial threshold for a statistical signal and continued meeting the criteria after a more in-depth evaluation.

Reply to Who, exactly, makes these shitty yellow trash bags? by blup12

It's not the answer you would probably like to hear, but double bagging (regular kitchen bags not double yellow bags) was a solution that we used for a long time.

When I was younger, I was, uh...inefficient when it came to the cat litter. I didn't scoop out the boxes, instead I fully changed the boxes every 3-4 days. I would pour it into a grocery bag, then out it in the kitchen trash (double bagged), and then take out the trash.

They always took the trash, despite being probably 10-20 pounds overweight.

Like I said, nice the idea system, but it does work.

It's specifically targeting underrepresented communities where vaccine hesitancy is higher. This program is not for every city in Massachusetts. MA is trying to get vaccine and booster numbers up in areas where people are hesitant due cultural medical hesitancy or people who previously had a difficult time going to get a vaccine. These vaccines also are fully covered and no one needs to fill out medical insurance numbers.

All of the covid vaccines drastically reduce severity and prevent hospitalizations and death. The new bivalent booster is particularly effective.

People who received the bivalent vaccine were 84% less likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 than those who were unvaccinated and 73% less likely to be hospitalized than those who received 2+ doses of the monovalent vaccine.

Adults who received a bivalent booster were 38% to 45% less likely to seek emergency or urgent care than those who received monovalent vaccination only with the last dose 5-7 months earlier and 11+ months earlier, respectively.
