Yes, it was totally the vaccine.

Not the fact he has, by his own acknowledgment, spent most of his life abusing steroids and smoking cigars. And his family has a history of heart problems.

ffs.

I saw a post on Facebook that said "I NEVER GOT THAT COVID SHOT I bet yall can’t steal this status 🤣🤣".

Remember when it was speculated that some places would ask if you got the covid vaccine, and people acted like it was an invasion of privacy to ask for deeply personal information about their medical history?

Well, clearly it's not deeply personal if you're able to publicly brag about it. You don't see anyone publicly bragging about their hemorrhoid ointment or their cryogenic treatment for genital warts.

It's clearly not in the same category and you know it.

The US doesn't need a quack and conspiracy nut like RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services at a time like this.

Get whatever vaccinations and boosters you can before January 20th. In the meantime, contact your US senator and express your opposition to putting a science denier like RFK Jr. in charge of America's health.

The amount of spam / bot accounts sharing anti-vax sentiment in the tags is frustrating. I'm blocking them all on sight. All the websites seem like a virus waiting to happen which is almost ironic. Reminder not to click on their links so that your devices aren't infected.

If you want, type the headline into a search engine but don't click on random links from people you don't know or trust.

Y’all ToT

For clarification I’ve gotten vaxxed for Covid before, it’s just the first time at this facility

The blood was drawn and the shots were immediately given. It was one visit.

I knew there would be a charge to get my vaccines, but I didn’t know it would cost me more than what I paid for my damn car

Cheese and crust, for St. Luigi’s sake why does it cost this flippin’ much??? >~<

If I, for even a moment, knew they were gonna rip me a new asshole with the cost I would have said no.

Not included is the price I paid for HRT and the bloodwork because I’ve paid out of pocket for that before and was expecting that.

So, to preface this opinion post, I am very much pro-vax. I am just anti-covid vaccine due to the way it was handled.

They did not have the chance to fully test everything due to the Emergency Use Authorization. Ok, that's fine. However, the different vaccines also didn't list out the risks like would have been required for any other medications or vaccines.

This is why I am against the covid vaccine. I have a clotting disorder (prothrombin factor II), so it would have been very important for me to know about the clotting risk before getting the vaccines. I got the initial two doses, and that's it. After those two doses was when the clotting risks started to get leaked and reduced my trust in the covid vaccines.

You should read about every medication and vaccine you put in your body before you put it into your body. Understand the risks, and weigh them against the benefits. In this case I couldn't do so, and in the process was risking an awful lot. My doctors won't even let me have the normal dose of estradiol patches due to this, and I was expected to take a vaccine that increased that risk without being able to know it was doing so?

And that's why I am anti-covid vaccine. I will not get another dose until a version without this risk comes out (which will likely be when a traditional vaccine comes out). Again, this doesn't mean I am anti-vax. I am just against this specific vaccine.

Btw very random but the fact that people would literally rather have their child they made and supposedly love die of horrific but preventable diseases than them live with autism is so absolutely wild. Surely even if vaccines caused autism (they don't, of fuckin course not), surely it's better to risk a child being autistic BUT ALIVE. Do. Do you not want your child to live? Tell me

[theconcealedweapon]

You lost your hospital job because you're against covid vaccination?

That's horrible. No one deserves to be treated that way. You should form an activist movement to protest against that. You can team up with people who lost their restaurant job because they're against hand washing.

A reminder: Get up to date with your vaccines before January 20th.

In a taste of things to come, Louisiana has apparently forbidden public health workers from promoting vaccines – even flu vaccines.

A group of high-level managers at the Louisiana Department of Health walked into a Nov. 14 meeting in Baton Rouge expecting to talk about outreach and community events. Instead, they were told by an assistant secretary in the department and another official that department leadership had a new policy: Advertising or otherwise promoting the COVID, influenza or mpox vaccines, an established practice there — and at most other public health entities in the U.S. — must stop. NPR has confirmed the policy was discussed at this meeting, and at two other meetings held within the department's Office of Public Health, on Oct. 3 and Nov. 21, through interviews with four employees at the Department of Health, which employs more than 6,500 people and is the state's largest agency.

According to the employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear losing their jobs or other forms of retaliation, the policy would be implemented quietly and would not be put in writing. Staffers were also told that it applies to every aspect of the health department's work: Employees could not send out press releases, give interviews, hold vaccine events, give presentations or create social media posts encouraging the public to get the vaccines. They also could not put up signs at the department's clinics that COVID, flu or mpox vaccines were available on site. The new policy in Louisiana was implemented as some politicians have promoted false information about vaccines and as President-elect Donald Trump seeks to have anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr lead the U.S.

While they are not outlawing vaccines outright, the Louisiana GOP state government doesn't want citizens of the state to know that vaccines are available.

As with other states, people are still dying of COVID-19 in Louisiana. Flu is also taking its toll.

Last year, 652 people in Louisiana died of COVID, including five children. Louisiana currently is tied with DC for the highest rate of flu in the U.S. In 2022 alone, flu killed 586 people in Louisiana.

If RFK Jr. is confirmed as HHS secretary, we can see practices like this becoming federalized.

"It's reckless," said Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at Georgetown University. "I think it's a sign of what is about to happen under the second Trump administration." If U.S. senators confirm Kennedy to run HHS, he said, "we're going to see the fomenting of public distrust of vaccines so we lose precious herd immunity, and we're going to see major outbreaks of disease that are fully preventable over the next four years."

Also, RFK is just plain wrong: Measles doesn't give everyone lifelong immunity but immunization does (by three-fold compared to wild infections)
