Utopia Talk / Politics / First dose of moderna

Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Sep 27 07:54:50 Currently sitting and waiting for 20 minutes, they want to make sure I don’t die instantly. I checked that I had to seek medical help for an allergic reaction. To a mosquito bite… I shit you not, I had to get cortison because of a mosquito bite on my knee. Couldn’ t bend my knee, it swole up so bad! Anyway if you never hear from me again, you know what is up. Avenge my death!
Cloud Strife Member	Mon Sep 27 08:34:02 Several months late. No points awarded.
Seb Member	Mon Sep 27 08:57:47 wait, how is it you are only now getting vaccinated?
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Sep 27 09:01:16 I waited until I could be sure to get moderna.
Seb Member	Mon Sep 27 09:05:01 I suspect the risk you incurred to yourself in delaying so long more than offset any risk reduction for having moderna over pfizer or astra zenica. But I'm glad it paid off.
Habebe Member	Mon Sep 27 09:15:52 I'll assume Nimatzo is dead already...the plans must. Go forth #Never forget 1.We must exterminate all mosquitos, Well maybe not what if we just focused on mosquitos that bite people, or atleast Persians. 2.We need a plan, luckily we have a pretty solid record of exterminating entire species. 2A. We need to stop them from reproducing , this can be achieved by genetically engineering genes in mosquitos to make the offspring infertile as well as using IGR (insect growth regulators) 2b. On top of stopping reproduction we need to limit their food source, but since thhat food is us, that's difficult. But they are working on a vaccinne to render humans not alluring as food for them, wee.need mandates, and get animals too. Next we need to introduce predators, so why don't we take the genes that make fat people always hungry and implant them into MethBats© Super hungry bats who don't sleep because we drip crystal meth slowly into their bloodstream through a device. We will avenge him...
Habebe Member	Mon Sep 27 09:26:32 Schroedingers poster says, that Nimatzo os currently alive, and dead until he posts again. But forever more there will be an alternate dimension where this timeline of him dying really happened, and mabey, just mabey we luanch just such a plan...doo doo doo doo...
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Sep 27 09:55:44 Seb I don't know. It was 3 months from when I could have gotten a shot. Probably on the population level you are right, but there are individual factors. I was off on parental leave for the 3 months, wife was on sick leave and the boy was home from pre-school. Everyone else we met were vaccinated and I went to a ghost town of an office the past 3 weeks and we live in small town and I have not set foot inside public transport for years. On top of being otherwise healthy. On the other hand the better protection against Delta lasts more than 3 months...allegedly.
Paramount Member	Mon Sep 27 10:25:12 Nimatzo used to be a healthy boy, then a mosquito bit his knee.
Average Ameriacn Member	Mon Sep 27 10:28:36 Glad you can get the Trump vaccine in your third world country, too, now.
Paramount Member	Mon Sep 27 10:52:32 Can you really trust modeRNA, though? "Criticism In February 2016, a Nature editorial criticized Moderna for not publishing any peer-reviewed papers on its technology, unlike most other emerging and established biotech companies, and compared its approach to that of the controversially failed Theranos.[64] In September 2018, Thrillist published an article titled, "Why This Secretive Tech Start-Up Could Be The Next Theranos",[65] criticizing its reputation for secrecy and the absence of scientific validation or independent peer-review of its research, though having the highest valuation of any U.S. private biotech company at more than $5 billion.[11][66] A former Moderna scientist told Stat: "It's a case of the emperor's new clothes. They're running an investment firm, and then hopefully it also develops a drug that's successful."[11] " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderna "It's a case of the emperor's new clothes. They're running an investment firm, and then hopefully it also develops a drug that's successful." ^ What a coincidence that covid-19 happened. Otherwise they would probably be in jail now like the criminals in Theranos.
murder Member	Mon Sep 27 11:22:33 Congratulations! In 6 weeks you will be fully vaccinated ... until you need a booster shot because this pandemic is never going to end. :o)
Paramount Member	Mon Sep 27 11:44:03 ” because this pandemic is never going to end. :o) ” I think that was the plan. Have you noticed lately how we as consumers are more and more often asked to subscibe to services and products? I went to the dentist to do a normal check, and they ask me if I wanted to subscribe. I thought they were joking and I didn’t know whether I was supposed to laugh or not, but I politely declined and said, ”Nah… I’ll come back when I feel to”. I went to the optician to buy another batch of contact lenses. They asked me if I wanted to subscribe. The thing is I’m kind of already a fking subscriber since I return to them every 6 month to buy a new batch of contact lenses. So why are they asking me to subscribe? And now they want us to subscribe to covid vaccine. Wtf.
Seb Member	Mon Sep 27 12:32:17 murder: Not since the rat lickers decided any measures to supress the virus was a mistake. Lower prevalence last year would likely mean no kent and delta.
Im better then you 2012 UP Football Champ	Mon Sep 27 12:56:44 Jesus Nim its almost October. I know Amish Trump supporters who are less vaccine hesitant than you.
patom Member	Mon Sep 27 15:25:19 Had my moderna shots back in March. It seemed impossible to get an appointment for the Pfizer. Now waiting till they OK the Moderna booster. My granddaughters husband finally got his first dose. This boy has never got a vaccine for anything. My granddaughter gave him his shot.
Sam Adams Member	Mon Sep 27 16:48:12 "Now waiting till they OK the Moderna booster." The moderna shot is stronger and thus boosters are further away, if at all.
murder Member	Mon Sep 27 17:10:57 I forgot to add ... keep a close eye on your testicles for any signs of swelling as a result of the vaccine.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Sep 27 18:26:57 Shoulder hurts like hell, but otherwise nothing.
murder Member	Mon Sep 27 19:32:39 For me the first dose of Moderna caused a slightly sore arm for ~ 24 hours and nothing else. The second shot resulted in a slightly sore arm and a low grade fever all of day #2. But that was it. But no swollen testicles. :o\
nhill Member	Mon Sep 27 23:34:44 Sorry bro, I know you were looking forward to having bigger balls.
nhill Member	Tue Sep 28 01:49:42 (That was to murder.., we already know Nim has big balls when he purchased $TOMB)
Paramount Member	Tue Sep 28 06:31:16 Moderna arm is actually a thing http://www...cles/2021dpmu3ts2rtgomwsv.html I don’t want to see how Moderna balls looks like.
Rugian Member	Tue Sep 28 07:09:10 Nimatzo And you criticize ME for not getting the vaccine? I guess your neighbors should be grateful that you've essentially been self-isolating in your basement while going on your crypto spending spree all these months.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Tue Sep 28 09:25:08 Rugian I admonish you because you are not getting vaccinated at all, not because you are waiting to get Moderna. Which you are not.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Tue Sep 28 09:53:16 Rugian I empathize with you to a degree, the people who made this into a badge of merit, some manifestations of that in this thread, are insufferable. But it is at the same time twice as foolish to be contrarian because ”muh politics”. You should get vaccinated unless your doctor says otherwise. I find the politicization of issues with empirical answers *yawn*. How do you people manage to stay motivated?
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Fri Oct 01 16:45:18 God dam it, I have something... The boy came home from pre-school coughing and shit. No fever and he is energetic and feels fine, but I have whatever it is. I feel it my throat and ears. I swear the god seb, if you jinxed me with the Rona. *shakes fist towards southwest*
Rugian Member	Fri Oct 01 16:48:13 Nim I would rather die in agonizing pain from Covid than be on the side of people like this. http://mob...ein/status/1443050255616864262 (Also you have no idea if I got the vaccine or not, its none of your business either way)
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Fri Oct 01 16:54:29 You said you were not taking it. You kinda of made it mine and everyone's business here, where we discuss stuff. Unless you tell me different I have to assume you still have not taken it and do not intend to. This strategic ambiguity you are doing, do we need to take it that far?
kargen Member	Fri Oct 01 17:12:31 "Shoulder hurts like hell, but otherwise nothing." That's the only thing I had when I got the vaccination. I live in a rural area and we have a health clinic but nearest doctor is twenty miles away. Anyway the clinic called back in April said I was eligible for the shot and asked if I wanted it. I said sure even though I usually skip the flu shot. I've had three flu shots and twice I got the flu a week later. I've had the flu twice in my life. Back to COVID. The clinic was set up to vaccinate six people at a time. You would walk in wearing your mask of course and sit six feet apart. When you got the shot you were given a timer set to fifteen minutes. When the timer beeped you turned it in and could leave. Six more were arriving as we were leaving. I live across the street from the clinic and it looks like they did that a few days a week for about four weeks then of course the 2nd round started soon after that.
kargen Member	Fri Oct 01 17:14:51 On an aside my mom and my brother refuse to get the vaccine. My dad and my sister think everybody should be forced to get the vaccine if they want to ever leave their houses unless of course they are streaming in across the border illegally then it is okay and I couldn't really give a shit either way.
murder Member	Fri Oct 01 17:17:56 "I would rather die in agonizing pain from Covid than be on the side of people like this." What is it about that minute long clip that triggers you? Not judging (I really am), I'm just curious.
