Yesterday, after work, I went to the store to take just the flu shot, told the person injecting me to give me an extra bandage, which was branded with the logo of the store, put that bandage on in the bathroom, and went home.
Mom asked me where I went, I told her I took the shots, showed her the bandages, she asked if I had my card, I said I did but she never asked for it, and then I went on with my day.
I’m still waiting to see if the shoe drops and she asks to see my card within the next few days, but if that happens, I’ve taken all of you guys’ advice into account, but so far I’m good.
I did it this way mainly because my appointment time, but Mom wasn’t mad or anything that I went without her, last night was just a bit hectic, but hopefully it’s over for now. I’m still looking for places to move, as I definitely don’t wanna deal with this again, but damn, I didn’t know that lower income housing had waiting lists.
Interesting that a denialist (rather than just an anti/conservative, which I'm very much on-board with) brings up the poultry business, since there, vaccines have been SO proven to work [or... almost work, hence the problem], that NOT using them is a literal death sentence... Because their use has mutated some ailments to be so dangerous and virulent (or, for the more aluminium-hatted amongst us, since its creation, the follow-up bio-alteration of virii to MAKE them so much more dangerous and virulent) that NOT using the "recommended" shots shows a very real destruction rate in Marek's Disease.
There, the over-vaccination of flawed and leaky vaccines led to extremely negative consequences, the likes of which can only be prevented by VERY good isolation, or... Your own use in turn of those flawed and leaky vaccines. A warning we should adhere to, but not a tale of whimsical "oh they don't work". Whether natural concequence or some chicken-monger-dash-mad-scientist's gambit to make some super-killer bioweapon, the flawed vaccine that led to the creation of that bad and lethal form of the disease is also the only thing to really protect against it.
