COVID Stupid

[Yoused]

The second-largest county in Idaho, Owyhee, occupies the southwest corner of the state and has just under twelve thousand residents. It is a large area, mostly desert. Those people are somewhat less likely to get COVID. Ada county, on the other hand, is very densely populated.

…. from the county Health Department.

Pharmacies and Dr.’s will still be able to give the shot.

So everyone be honest, how many of you went to the health department to get the shot?

I got at least two of mine at the Health Department.

You are correct. But that's not my problem. It says right in the article:

“I’m not aware of anything else like this,” said Adriane Casalotti, chief of government and public affairs for the National Association of County and City Health Officials. She said health departments have stopped offering the vaccine because of cost or low demand, but not based on “a judgment of the medical product itself.”

That's my problem. It wasn't done for cost reasons, or medical reasons, or lack of interest. It was done for anti-science reasons. I'd be totally cool if there was a sane reason for them to make the decision they made. But that doesn't appear to be the case here.

Out of curiosity, I tracked down their web site to see if I could get a flu shot. That vaccination isn't a problem at all. https://swdh.id.gov/clinic-services/immunizations/flu/

Got mine again yesterday, some mild symptoms but mostly just tired. My wife got both, including the flu but I opted to wait a couple of weeks because I didn't want a double whammy.

I did both flu and covid last week. Get them while you can. Next year the only option might be free brain worms.

Not gonna lie, this was what drove us to it this week.

I didn't want a double whammy.

IMHO, that's the wrong logic - it ensures a "double whammy"... twice instead of once.

I believe you are equating getting 2 (or 3) in one sitting equal to 2-3 times the effects, which is debatable.

But my main point is, if you make the effort of taking an NSAID just before the shot(s), the effects are minimal, so all in one makes more sense.

I've been suffering mild side effects since I got the shot, feeling better now though. I've always been sensitive to these, maybe a poor immune system but for me I would rather not do them both in the same day, I'm sure your logic is sound though.

poor immune system

More like a very active one - could come in handy one day

I'm getting my Novavax and Pneumonia vaccines tomorrow. Not taking any chances with idiots running the insane asylum.
