Showing off is good. More people should do it. Everybody should be showing pictures of themselves being vaccinated. The anti-vax dipshits are the ones we should be shaming.
I have 5 pro trumpers in my extended family. none have been vaccinated. 2 because they are not in one of the current groups getting vaccinated but the other three are refusing the shots. Those 3 never got past high school, coincidence? I think not.

Cackalack du Nord is going to open up vaccinations for everyone over 16 on 4/7.
I don't get this. While I'm 300% for getting people vaccinated, people in groups 3 & 4 still have difficulty getting an appointment (at least in the Charlotte area). This certainly won't make it easier for them. I've been trying for weeks and the only appointment that I could get was at a mass vaccination that I couldn't attend. Lots of places online show that they have the vaccine/available appointments but it turns out to not be accurate.

I guess this was all just a dream. My daughter's school is returning to full-time in person instruction and discontinuing forehead scans.

Looking at the numbers, that doesn't seem to make an ounce of sense.

her: are they late?
him: yes. maybe you've seen them, I'm looking for a caucasian family....

10¢ beers and free joints if you're vaccinated

In Cleveland, the Market Garden Brewery is offering 10-cent beers to the first 2,021 people who show a COVID-19 vaccine certificate.

“Yes, you read that right,” the brewery says on its website. “Ten Cents.”

At the Greenhouse of Walled Lake, a medical marijuana dispensary in Michigan, anyone 21 and older who gets a COVID-19 vaccine can pick up a prerolled joint until the end of the month.

For you LA area monkeys, Cal State Bakersfield is handing out Pfizer to anybody In any tier, walk up, until the 31st. Granted, you have to go to Bako, which sounds worse than actually catching Covid, but maybe you’re a bit of a masochist and don’t mind.

Brother and SIL just got their stick, don’t think I can make it up there so figured I’d pass along then info for you folks looking to get chipped

Your periodic reminder that your dysfunctional banana republic is doing a pretty good job of getting shots into arms while Europe is getting shots into feet.

Some suggestions to avoid AstraZeneca if you’re under 55.
From the sounds of it, the AZ probably won't get distributed here anyway since we'll allegedly be done with microchipping everybody by the time they get approved and we'll donate our doses to less privileged countries, like Canada. Still not going to help when it comes to convincing skeptical folks to get the shot.
