There is however, a caveat:

Ok, but do I really want a vaccine that makes me feel like I'm going through withdrawal?

[pulisa]

You wouldn't be first in line for it anyway, Frank...even if it were to become a credible vaccine

[Pamplemousse]

Ok, but do I really want a vaccine that makes me feel like I'm going through withdrawal?

Nobody says you have to have it, Frank.

[AntsyVee]

Vaccines and tampons for all!!

[Pamplemousse]

Just for a change, a YT video that's pro-vaccine.




"The biggest side effect of vaccines is fewer dead children."

(There's some fascinating stuff on that channel. Optimistic Nihilism? String Theory Explained?)

[AntsyVee]

Speaking of educational videos...have you all seen this one? It's my favorite!!!

[Pamplemousse]

Clearly Mrs. Doyle never got the message

[AntsyVee]

LOL Nope, PM.

There is also this classic...the "Tea Slut"

[AntsyVee]

Did you all see John Oliver's piece on conspiracy theories? I thought it was really well-put together.

What a strange garbled message we have when they are forcing masks on the public in shops yet the shops themselves are removing their safety measures e.g. door marshals controlling entry and spacing out the first aisle to prevent punching, queue marshals controlling the allocation of customers to till lanes, one way systems, etc.

Is it just my city because we have been really lucky to be hit less? Or is it about retail saving money on extra duties? If the city then are we bothering with masks for, that came after the studies showing retail staff being disproportionately affected (which is like a study into why your hand hurts if you set it on fire ), when they are easing back like it doesn't matter?!!!
