@benroyce @paneerakbari @renata @CppGuy @alice Everyone’s a winner!! 🥰

[sezduck@twit.social]

@benroyce @BashStKid @alice @lispi314 Agreed. The only “annoying” part is that I’m jealous 😆 - because , here in the US, people’s well-being isn’t important to the government - and a large part of the population votes to keep it that way.

@alice @brouhaha Yup, had my annual visit last week, got three jabs.. had to text the next day off due to fever and feeling horrible for one day. Worth it.

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@lispi314 agreed.

@w_b I figure I'm going to collect them all like Pokémon anyway, so might as well catch 'em all as soon as they're available.

@renata I wish I'd had the meningitis vaccine. I got meningitis just before my 23rd birthday, by my birthday a couple days later I was hooked up to machines in the ER. It took a month to return to work (I should've stayed out for two, but bills were piling up), and it took years to relearn my vocabulary.

@alice

I use the pharmacy at the grocery store so it's not inconvenient since I'm there weekly.

@nobrainnopain @benroyce @alice Or for life, or getting hundreds of people sick, or killing other people.

@CppGuy @benroyce @alice as someone who got type 1 diabetes after flu, let me tell you about needles...

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@viq @CppGuy @alice

oof

[grrrr_shark@supervolcano.angryshark.eu]

@AnnieBuddy @renata @benroyce @CppGuy @alice I got shingles in the years before they would give me the vaccine. There is no pain like it.

I made them give me the vaccine the first day they'd allow it. But I had to lie and say I hadn't had shingles, because half the medical establishment in Switzerland seems vax-averse

@benroyce this /s comment encapsulates *so* much of what's wrong with toxic culture in America (and elsewhere)—folx convinced that keeping others from gaining privileges and closing equality gaps is worth more than protecting their own rights.

@paneerakbari that sounds like a good dinner.
