There's something about these people who "mix and match" vaccines I've never understood. There's supposed to be a database that everyone goes into where they indicate what vaccine you got and when you got it. At least I was of the understanding that was the case: it used to be at least you had to book appointments for these vaccines, and I thought the reason was so they could put you into the database.
So why does the big database not flag people as having already been vaccinated and not let them take it again? Or is there not a big database?
Only thing I can think of is maybe he got the J&J first since it's now seen as lesser, I've heard of people going and getting one of the other two and apparently that is allowed. I think due to how lucrative the vaccines are no one gives a shit how many you get as long as money flows.
A thought occurred to me as I was reading your comment: If they anticipated that boosters might be necessary, then they wouldn't want to program something into the database that restricted it to a single course of the same vaccine. And if they didn't know what the interval for boosters might be, then they wouldn't want to program any time restrictions between doses they might have to change later.
I don't like that thought, but it's one I could easily see the designers of that particular system having.
Yep. Honestly, nothing would surprise me at this point.
At the same time, perhaps I hope for too much when they're literally immune from being sued if they were to put gasoline in the needle instead of vax solution, but I'd think that medical professionals would take a meandering glance at a patient's medical history, for allergies at the least if nothing else, and notice "huh, something doesn't look right here..."
You must not be Canadian. We like to mix and match here.
There's no big database. I recall reading about people in the states hopping statelines and people on the east just flying to other countries.
I saw an article recently about people doing that, and some of them got their vaccines in other countries to avoid this. I'm sure if you tried hard enough though, you could manage to get vaccinated somewhere that doesn't bother to check.
