Moo! Day at the Mass Vax Cattle Call

So, yeah, I'm a half-mutant lizard drone person now. As I type, my DNA is silently mutating away. I expect that my poison dart tongue will be growing in nicely by morning.

I've seen people post on here about their experiences with the shot and how it treated them. So far, I'm fine beyond a very sore left arm. I practiced on it tonight though, so it's not like it's all *that* sore. It's definitely vaccine related thought because it was sore before I was halfway to work, and I went straight there after leaving my happy fun shot.

So, mass vaccinations ... they're weird.

I signed up online through the county website that linked me to a local vaccine operation being run out of Cerner. I answered some basic questions online. They said they'd send me an alert via text when I might eligible. That took about a week to 10 days, and it hit me at work. I answered some more questions and was offered a plethora of timeslots to sign up for. I picked one that would sync as well as possible with work, and away it all went.

They had traffic flow mapped out like in stadiums or amusement parks with attendants directing you in. They also had a shortwave FM signal that was supposed to be giving you information, but at my timeslot, it hadn't been turned on yet. So I was getting bad hip hop.

We parked and got directed into a line that fed us to registration where we waited for the next available, sort of like you do during holiday shopping. Then they fed back into line and into the actual vaccine site. The vaccine site was set up with lots of tiny cubicles, sort of like a telemarketing call center - tiny, tiny cubicles with one shot station in a box. Barely enough space for two people in them. The bizarre part was that just like a call center where they have the top salesmans' names on the white board? They had top vaccinators' names on the white board. So confidence inspiring!

They put us on the tape markers and sent you to the first open cube. They told you in the instructions to wear short sleeves. The guy asked me which shoulder I wanted it in, and as soon as I specified, I felt three taps in my shoulder, and he's like, "You're done." That's how fast it was. There was no doctor's office warning of feeling a pinch, no deep rub with the alcohol swab or anything like that ... just WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU, MA'AM. Done before you can blink or realize it's even started.

I guess if you have shot anxiety that's good.

Then based on some answers you gave about your health and prior vaccine reactions, they specify whether or not you have to wait 15 or 30 minutes for adverse reaction. They had the single chairs all spaced out. You had to pick on with paperwork that listed all the things you should alert if you felt. Then they had projection screens with the same info and a clock, and peppy music playing. Then some random woman was walking around the front of the waiting area with a microphone giving what she obviously thought was a some kind of pep talk.

The thing that grated on me the most was when she actually said, "Thank you all for believing in science!" I was like ... Say wut?! I was wondering if I needed to go ask her if she needed to remove my shot for voting wrong or something.

Anyways, that's my mass vax experience. It was weird. I get to go back again in a couple weeks for another round.

I work from home currently so I am in no rush. J & J "seems" to have the best safety profile. I will give it a few more weeks to confirm that before chancing it.

I would really like to wait to see what happens to people months after their vaccination. There are theories that re-infection could trigger some issues.

I mean, let's be real here, all of these are untested and "use at your own risk". That does not fill me with confidence.

I would rather have "use at your own risk" Ivermectin. At least that is proven pretty much as safe as aspirin.

~sigh~

This post has me really torn.

I test positive for the antibodies still and apparently got the ~Vid in early 2020.

So I don't think I want the Vax.

But as someone who was once given the title "Miss Acid Tongue" on a debate forum, I would REALLY like a poison dart tongue in real life.

On the other hand, being handled like livestock to me is is a downside...

Decisions, decisions...

~pondering~

I was hoping I'd luck into the J&J myself. It's one dose, plus it's made by a method we understand much better, so it's likely to be better tuned causing less adverse reaction than the new mRNA ones.

They're doing a huge event at Arrowhead tomorrow, and apparently, that one will have the J&J. But the one today had Pfizer. So mutant lizard drone it is!

I would still be waiting I think except I know work will "strongly encourage" the vaccination as soon as it's widely available in Kansas, and I just got put back into an office position.

Are you "social justicing" yet?

Have you canceled anyone?

We've been watching Last Airbender with our kiddo an episode at a time, and last night there was this giant mole creature that had a poison dart tongue. It was pretty neat. *SNAP* and you're temporarily paralyzed by the tongue.

So I determined that if my DNA was to mutate into some lizard creation, I was getting a poison dart tongue like that.

Only when the poison tongue grows in.

I just want a poison dart tongue to fill out my collection of body oddities.

You gave me hope for a moment.

Hope!

LOL, that would make a good troll. A couple of weeks after the vax, come on and start telling everyone how wrong you were in being a conservative and give you testimony of how you are now an enlightened Progressive.

The 2nd shot kicked my ass. But still required to get tested every 3 days for work for the foreseeable future.

oOohhhh....

That would be a rather God-level like troll.

It would almost make me feel better about the OP, now that I know I can't sell my soul for the Vax to get a poison dart tongue.

My cousin's husband said it hit him a bit, but not too bad. He works at a large area hospital, so his was pretty well mandatory.

I've heard that the real issues come with the second if you're going to be laid up.

a reply to: Lumenari

You can always identify as having a poison dart tongue. It would be wrong for people not go along with it these days.

But then I'd be like the Jenner guy/girl.

Just pretending.

~sigh~

I'm going to bed now.

~wanders off the thread, all forlorn and stuff~

Maybe you'll get lucky and grow a boob on your shoulder.
Then you can rest your head on it and take a nap anywhere.

a reply to: ketsuko

Why is ANYONE getting a “vaccine” (it’s not) for a overhyped (proven 👈🏻) flu?

Have you not seen the endless “side effects”?

Bill gates and co..... owning or partially owning everything that has to do with this?

I mean literally EVERYTHING for a logically thinking person says DO NOT TAKE THIS .......

To each their own I guess? 👋🏽

a reply to: ketsuko

Good luck, hope nothing adverse occurs with you. Maybe you'll get some cool x-men powers. Imma hold of on getting it myself until they drag me kicking and screaming personally...

a reply to: ketsuko
Well the good news about becoming a prawn is you will soon be able to use the alien technology. Go get 'em Wilkus!

I just have one question. And it's directed toward those who have had the shot and experienced mild pain. Here's my question: How did it make you feel two years from now, or five years from now? Any bad side effects? If you can't answer that, please by all means, just link to an article from someone else who can answer it truthfully. Thank you.
