Got an appointment today
actually 2 because its confusing online
Want the Johnson Vaccine because its one shot
Govt site says local safeway and Walmart have it
But when I book an appointment, they cant guarantee Johnson
So I booked at both locations
Going to check with both locations in person to see if I can get Johnson
If not, I'll take the 1st dose of a 2 dose vaccine
Hopefully will feel fine
Got the telescope tour Fri nite at the big one , Lowell Observatory. hoping for no clouds

The choices of individuals are not always individually or socially optimal, but, if we were going to prevent people from making all sub-optimal decisions, we'd probably have to start by banning religion.


Hey, the Christian definition of freedom, particularly when they argue "free will" is you have the freedom to choose their religion or choose Hell as that's the alternative.

So, if that's their definition of freedom, I see no problem with punishment for not getting the vaccine. We won't force you to do anything, we'll just chop your head off or something if you don't. Hail Freedom!

Just stopped by Walmart
Asked if they had the Johnson vaccine
Yes
Asked if I had to wait for appointment
They said let's get it done now
Just got the shot.
Just canceled my Safeway appt
Thrilled
Protected
Still pro mask
This virus is insidious
Dont want to catch the India variant.

Was worried about feeling effects of the shot
Nothing

Shot area slightly sore but thats it

Just remember, it takes awhile to activate fully. You could get Covid now and still die (worst case scenario)

I'm still about mask protection
I'm not changing anything , still wear a mask indoors
Just feel a lot safer
Been wanting to do this for a while

I went shopping at Walmart yesterday without a mask. It was wonderful. I’d say 80% of people were still wearing masks.

Just the latest sign that we are not at odds over politics but over outlook on life in general.

I’d say it’s the latest sign that there are a lot more dumb republicans than dumb democrats.
