Lots of rich countries over-ordered or ordered multiple vaccines incase a certain one fell out of favour.

Most people probably have had 3 doses and a couple of covid infections by now, so aren't as worried as at the start. It's also common for a booster to knock you out for a day or so after, so even if they're on offer you might just want to avoid that and accept the risk of a covid infection later on (which may happen anyway).

In the UK people under 75 (or at extreme risk for health reasons) simply aren't offered boosters anymore, so its just the way things are going.

I’m at a small company - 11 people. Seems like someone is coming down with it every month or so. Same thing with my friends . It does seem to be a lot milder. I did have the latest booster but I also get my flu shots yearly.

A little wanting never did anyone anything bad

Ah, there were too many tendrils and I missed the introduction of "I don't do drama", but yeah, you're right, anyone who says that they "don't do drama" would say the associated lines like "that's why I like guys more."

I know, but the previous comment, "I don't do drama" is the line that they would both say.

Wait, mama-bears and pick-mes can rarely overlap on the venn, and the latter can sometimes morph into the former once they've squoze some progeny out, but most mama-bears aren't pick-mes, they're "wine o'clock", "gimme my timmies", "ride or die" types.

Once that baby is born she'll get a whole 12 weeks of maternity leave.

This runs like a Norm MacDonald Weekend Update joke.

But please remember Switzerland is neutral.

>im saying if its not 100% effective IT HAD NO BUSINESS being mandated.

Depending on the nature of the mandate I agree, but not because it isn't 100% effective. If I disagree with the particulars of a mandate with the current vaccine, I would still feel the same even if the vaccine was 100% effective.

When it comes to mandates, I don't think the government has any business requiring them. But I also think that private businesses have the right to require them in various circumstances. And the public has the right to refuse to give those businesses their money.

>also, no excuse to anyone who shunned, shamed and excluded vacine sceptics..

You're not wrong, but to be fair a large number of the more vocal vaccine skeptics were just as ignorant.

>these people blanket called everybody who didnt wanna take th vacine of being right wing..

People on the far left love to paint anyone they disagree with as right wing. People on the far right do the same thing.

It's hilarious how many times I've been called an ignorant woke gun grabbing liberal in one conversation and then called a racist something-phobic gun nut conservative in the next. Too many people don't like nuance.

>when they themselves were for mandatory vacination a full blown authoritarianism enablers. never forget

The hypocrisy is strong on both sides.

Feels like months since I’ve seen any covid news, I guess it just isn’t in people’s minds anymore

Are there still countries that can't get vaccines?

I understand that there are logistical issues with storing, transporting, and administering vaccines in some countries, but I was under the impression that supply was no longer an issue.

Are you claiming that it doesn't help mitigate the spread or symptoms?

Or are you saying that since it isn't 100% effective that it isn't worth getting?

One common claim I see from the lockdown days was "they were counting flu cases as COVID cases."

Their evidence is the fact that flu cases plummeted while covid cases rose. They can't seem to grasp the fact that when the whole damn country shuts down and people wear masks everywhere and disinfect every surface all day long that flu cases will go down. It would be weird as hell if they DIDN'T go down.

It's still around, but it seems like it isn't killing a bunch of people any more. At least I'm not hearing about it, I don't actually know what the numbers are.

But if the symptoms are less severe than they used to be, I imagine people aren't going to be so concerned anymore.

4 jeeps!

Clearly you've never been to Ft Bliss. Why would anyone "lie" about where an Army fort is located in /r/army?

Why is she allowed to plead to a misdemeanor?

This evil person should be serving a decade.

I had to drive past the World's Largest M80 firecracker every day. In New Mexico (fireworks are banned in El Paso county). Turned right at the Otero county, NM jail. Volunteered at the Chaparral Middle School. McGregor is in New Mexico. Doña Ana is in New Mexico, Oro Grande, New Mexico. Yeah, it borders White Sands Missile Range, which is miles from Texas. Something like 80 percent of Bliss is in New Mexico.

I dunno why that guy would say I'm lying. When he clearly has never been there.

I got covid last year, haven't been vaccinated and only had a sore throat for a week. Anecdotally, symptoms will be all over the place.
