No.

Anyway it’s not just me this affects.

Two of my coworkers (I work in a government-run long term care home) came out as anti-vaxxers.

In one case, the person acts and lives a bit on the fringe so it's not totally surprising. The other one is usually a pretty decent and reasonable person. Though, in both cases they have been yelling that it was fascist and illegal to confine people since day 1, so that may be their common ground.

Since the vaccine passports aren't out yet here the government strategy for those who still hold out on getting vaccinated is to have them tested 3 times a week. Those persons get a little vaccination booklet in which all their tests are being noted.

The oddball is still going about chips and 5G while the other is about the fact the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting Covid, it only prevents you from getting to the hospital.

While I don't agree with their positions in the end, I would give them (if they actually pushed that idea) that the line is getting blurry at times.

I mean, the government has rolled out tv ads showing people kissing and hugging each other in family and at social gatherings saying that the vaccine will allows us to do that in time but it's kinda blurring the line between what the vaccine actual does and what we could eventually have, which is actually preventing you from getting the virus at all (even if it will take time and more work).

My biggest fear in the end is that we may be missing our chance to actually get rid of the virus by isolating it if we go with re-opening and living like before while having a vaccine that "only" prevents us from getting hospitalized.

Not to be a downer, but cats are rarely ok after that. Anything from internal bleeding to fractured pelvis.

NFL - Bengals. Haven’t won shit for years, and despite having a cool emblem, nickname, and colour scheme - look like the bastard children of the Steelers and Browns.
Besides, you can’t get rid of the Lions or Jets. Who are we to laugh at ?
MLB - Diamondbacks. Is there a more nonexistent presence in all of American Sports ?
NHL - Ducks. Named after a movie team, FFS. Bring back the Whalers.
NBA - Timberwolves. A few years ago I’d have said the Clippers or Nets. If they disappeared, would anyone even notice ? Actually, same applies for the Kings and Nuggets too.

EPL - Manchester City. The classic example of a plastic club with plastic fans. For decades, City were also rans in the North West, level pegging with the likes of Oldham and Blackpool, lagging miles behind the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton. The league and football in general would be much better off if they were expelled.

Finally been sent an appointment letter!

However, it's playing coy - doesn't tell me if it's the more blood clot friendly version or not 🤔.

Ever noticed that every time you go onto the chemist there's always some junkie kahnt waiting for the staff to get his methadone ready?

And he never wears a mask.

They're usually up in your face giving it "how are you today, squire".

Today, I finally snapped and replied "It was going great until some druggie shitehawk breathed all over me in the pharmacy".
