Doing the opposite of what ever trump says is pretty solid advice for anything.

I don’t live in the US but it must be hard seeing that there are groups that are anti-vaccines who will make those decisions for their children who inevitably will get sick, and those who are sensible have the full knowledge that this was easily avoidable because prior to vaccinations there was widespread death.
Also not uniquely a US problem but clearly at the forefront of online media.

My body is shit. No way I trust my immune system to handle the flu and Covid. Thanks for the reminder to get my shots.

An actual case of survivorship bias!

You might just be asymptomatic pretty sure everyone has had a go now

I'm assuming you forgot to add that's the reason why you're going to get vaccinated.

I know my state has its own advisories and require insurance to cover them. At least for now. Who knows if the elections literally go south.

They're working toward a total ban on all vaccines.

I think you aren't doing it right. I seem to remember that the bleach goes into the "in" hole.

This would explain the cold call from CVS asking when I wanted to schedule my flu, COVID, and hep b vaccines.

Believe me, if I could afford them, I would. I can manage the flu shot probably.

You need to pay for vaccination?
Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2d
Yeah, like, a lot. Iirc, when I tried to get a COVID shot last year, it was something like $200+.

Target (in the US) was providing COVID vaccines for free last year.
Also, your employer may offer free flu shots.

I work at a call center and I wear a mask when I'm in office and haven't missed a flu or COVID shot yet. I've never had COVID and haven't been sick since at least 2019.
