Absolutely. Its impossible to make sense of, let alone argue with stupid.
"These are the rules, you don't get to to this"
Flips situation
"The rules don't apply to me. I get to do this"

Huh? What? I don't even.

Again .. AZ fail ... not instilling confidence and making people like CiC and anti-vaxxers look good. Apparently, 15m doses were ruined.

Did you even watch the video from the link? Or did you just comment because you read AZ in the post?

Testing doesn’t account for a human error in manufacturing. That’s like blaming the plywood supplier cause it fell off your truck on the way to the job site.

Albertans flood Nelson BC causes a restaurant to shutdown due to pushy crowd (towards his employees), and for them ignoring covid rules

https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/04...weekend-crowd/


Quote:
NELSON (NEWS 1130) – A Nelson restaurant owner is being applauded by the region’s MLA after he shut down his patio over the long weekend because of crowds of customers flouting COVID-19 orders.

Main Street Diner owner Nick Diamond took to Facebook on Sunday, saying he made the “incredibly tough call” to shut down his business half way through a “tremendously busy day for what I felt was in the name of community health and safety.”

Diamond says there was an “incredible influx of out of town visitors” moving through his restaurant on Saturday, with many described as “pushy, rude,” and not following public health guidelines.

“My staff were being pushed around and treated poorly,” he explained, adding it he abruptly decided it was time to shut down.


“I made this decision without even knowing about our new case totals for BC,” Diamond said, adding he also hadn’t had a chance to read breaking headlines about back-to-back record counts.

“I made my decision solely based on my experience throughout the day and the frustrations my staff were battling with,” he wrote, going on to detail a massive influx of out-of-town visitors, many from Alberta.

I see it as nothing but a good thing that bad batches of vaccines are being caught before they make it out to people... Think of the alternative!

Maga anti-vaxxer who got kicked off our hockey team group chat earlier last year posted this in his insta story:



Except the decrease starts happening perfectly timed 2 weeks after the vaccines in Texas start rolling out. So tempted to DM him something snarky about "oh wow the vaccine is working!" but didn't wanna waste my time arguing with him.

Your hockey buddy is a victim of literally "fake news". That site screenshotted is a known Russian troll news site. Their goal is to, well what we're seeing. Make people wrong, and make them fight about it. I found out when someone posted a bunch of their stuff here; it looked suspect so I looked into it, and sure enough...

You can pre-register for vaccination online now, even if you are not eligible yet. They'll reach out via email or sms on how to book an appt when you become eligible:

You'd have to be a pretty big POS to go down that route and effectively lie to jump the queue.

I'm pretty sure the SJW you're referring to are not the same group that would do what you're talking about. Keep in mind that getting your status card isn't as simple as determining lineage and not all Indigenous people can qualify despite their ancestry.

The vaccine booking system is not working right now. The process really comes in 2 parts:

- the registration
- the date/time booking

The registration part seems to be working, and I was able to get a confirmation code after entering the relevant information. I even received the date/time booking email and URL. But that's where the problem starts.

When the confirmation code and PHN are entered into the date/time booking system, it says that the patient info is not found. I am given the opportunity to manually key that info in again, and it still says their records don't match what I've typed in. Called up their support line, and the person told me they are running into some issues at their end, and just told me to keep trying online for now. And if I still can't get through by tonight, call in and they will help me manually book in over the phone.

I've been trying the damn date/time booking thing since 9am this morning, and it is still doing that now.

Fun times...

it's a loop hole - i think if you were a big enough scumbag you could push it. you'd have to be stone cold POS to be standing next to an obviously indigenous person in the line up claiming it. certainly wouldn't fly in a small town.

the worst case scenario is another shot ends up in another arm. Could this extend the number of jabs ahead of you? maybe but I think by an insignificant number.

where are we on true supply? people obviously pissy that the jabs were down over the long weekend. Also hearing that if you DO qualify, none of the locations are busy with plenty of appointments available. I think they need to extend the age parameters. Anybody who does qualify, but hasn't gotten their butts in gear should be passed over for now.

Doing it for my parents, man. And I am so glad I'm doing this instead of having them do it for themselves. They'd be going nuts or stressed out from the system not working since they aren't super computer savvy.

I am not the least bit surprised that the system buckled under production load, and it probably sucks to be the IT guys that are busting their ballz trying to fix the system right now...

TBH, I don't blame them. Yes the risk is low, but if peace of mind for themselves or any other concerned family member means waiting a few more weeks, not a huge tradeoff.

Unless they are all YOLO in terms of going out and gathering in groups, in that case maybe it's less risky to take the AZ.

Our workplace is getting allocations but it’s also the AZ, everyone who’s had the meeting has gone “no thanks”. Jesus

Edit: for those 55+

44 cases of clots out of 9.2 million doses. Is that even as common as the birth control risks of strokes?
