Look, if you take away Quaker's "gotcha" moments, all that will be left is the constant, impotent whining of a sad, sad man.

I think he gave up on the US today (for the 1,024th time).  He believes every current moment is hinge history - that all the time up until now pales in  comparison to the consequences of this moment in time.  It's a bit conceded when you think every other generation going back to the neanderthals had some that also believed they lived at a unique crossroads in time.

Playing in the 4th quarter of life and everyday is doomsday. Sad!

PS - any military person who was fired for not getting the vax, or was coerced into getting the vax, should be reinstated, with full back pay, and receive an apology from the Commander-in-Chief [LOL}], who was vaxxed and quad boosted and still got covid twice.  It is time for accountability.

I couldn't be happier, but I appreciate the concern.   Some people just appreciate a little accountability amid the sea of apathy. 

Have a great weekend. 

Glad I didn’t back down from what I thought was right and didn’t cower and follow like a stupid sheep.

We’re all glad too.

That's true. You were only minus a sense of smell or taste for what? A couple months? Since I didn't have that issue, well, my opinion on who's the stupid one might be a bit different... Especially since you were just as much of a sheep as anyone, just bleeting what people on the other side were saying.

I personally didn’t cower either. I also didn’t berate the front desk woman at the doctor’s office for asking me to wear a mask. 

Also didn’t piss and moan incessantly for the last 2+ years.

Go me!

Forgot about that…

He wasn’t going to let that old goat get over on him.  Badass.

Some schools are still requiring masking, which is wild. Is is that hard to admit you were wrong for 2 years? Still laugh seeing people wearing masks at the grocery store. Losers. 

2 years!?  Seriously?  I have an ex-wife that is going 42+ years strong!

And hurt minorities the hardest. Yet they still won’t admit they were wrong.

Never. 

Cuomo, Fauci and  a few others should probably be brought up on manslaughter charges.

But not the Trumpster - he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and you'd still love him!

Plus Trump recommends the shot, and says they should market the speed at which it was developed under his administration. But since most of his cult are functionally retarded they can’t comprehend it because then how can they own a lib about it?

Google Alex Jones’s rant against Gene Simmons (of KISS fame) to hear the perfect encapsulation of the anti-vax conspiracy theorists.  

Anyone get the Bivalent booster?

After 3 shots, and still never getting Covid, I'm unsure.

I did.  No issues.  It had been almost a year since my last shot, and I travel a lot so I figured why not?

Even though I don't think I've had Covid, I figure the shot is worth it if it keeps the symptoms mild.  Same reason I get the flu shot.  I'm not worried about getting it, but I'd be kicking myself if I ended up absolutely miserable and bed ridden for a few days.

Main reason I'm considering is due to travel. I'll be gone a lot after the new year.

What I'm not looking forward to is being totally down for 12-18 hours. That's been my only symptom from the first 3.

Apparently, people are having similar experiences to the prior shots.

I only had one night of low-grade fever, chills and a mild headache the next day after the second shot.  The rest just a bump and tender shoulder for a few days.

Also, this is probably the last booster that will be free.  You MIGHT try to get a different shot from what's been giving you a reaction.  My first two were Pfizer, these last two have been Moderna.

I just got COVID  for the first time (knowingly) and after 5 days feeling better.  It was mainly just a shitty cold for me. The last few days my taste/smell slowly came back.  I was more concerned about taste/smell.

I don't think I will be getting a booster now. 

Had it in July….still don’t feel the need for a booster. I’ve only had the original (2 rounds) and then the booster

My wife and I got the booster. We’re also the only ones at our table at a wedding last Saturday that didn’t get Covid. So it worked for us.

I did that for the booster. Two Pfizer then Moderna. Same result. No fever or anything, just absolutely dead. 

I can't find my goddamn original vax card, I think it's at my parents. Fuck it, I'll wait until during the holidays.
