She’s purchased her dress, some decor stuff, and put a deposit down on the venue, but she has plenty of time to get the deposit back, and the other stuff can wait. I didn’t dig too much, because my family is a big ball of gaslighting dysfunctional communication.

This person needs to be jailed for a long time. I am livid at the thought. The time, expertise, the labor, the people guinea pigging themselves to test these vaccines... and this motherfucker just destroyed 500 doses. 500 doses that would have saved countless human lives, when we're already dealing with a painfully slow rollout. Enraged doesn't even touch my feelings about this.

I'm so angry right now. DS's karate teacher was exposed to covid on the 16th. He emailed on the 23rd that he tested positive. In theory none of the kids at the school were exposed. Tonight he posted on FB that he was out to dinner with his grandson, indoor dining. Only 7 days from his positive. What the actual fuck? Well, having known someone that tested positive and then like a week later appeared to be at a bar with friends unmasked... her doctor said 10 days after first symptom she could be back in the world. So I’m guessing it’s something similar. Doesn’t seem quite right though. This one blew my mind. I'm still not over it. That it was "ok" by the doctor and that it was done by the person.

I can’t wrap my head around why someone would intentionally do that. What a sick person.

Enraged doesn't even touch my feelings about this. What is the toughest charge that could be leveled against this person, both state and federal? When I saw this last night I was honestly wondering about murder/manslaughter charges. And I'm actually kind of mad that the fired employee hasn't been publicly identified. And they damn well better not be able to get unemployment benefits. Well, other than sitting in jail without bail. I was actually looking up WI unemployment law. But, watch - if this is some insane anti-vaxxer, there will be a go fund me set up in minutes. ETA - this story says FDA and FBI are both investigating www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/milwaukee/2020/12/30/wisconsin-covid-19-vaccine-thrown-out-intentionally-aurora-employee-grafton-clinic-fired/4095107001/

The discussion around my Covid team is that the least they'll be charged with is criminal tampering, destruction of property, and felony theft.

I guess the good news is that the pharmacy tech who discovered the issue appears to have promptly and properly reported it.

My husband said someone at Costco today was walking around pulling down his mask spitting on stuff, including produce.
What the literal duck is wrong with people.

My Roku has been shouting at me for a week to visit Canada and I'm over here angrily grumbling that I typically do at least once a year, but that I'M NOT ALLOWED right now.
So hey, Canadian Tourism Bureau, I'm TRYING, but my countrymen won't act right, so I can't.

my vaccine was Wed- and truly much less than even a flu shot.

So i got a call back about a vaccination trial I had filled out info for. I think I’m going to do it. Am I crazy?! If I get a chance to vaccination with an approved one, they will open the blind to let me know if I was placebo, so I can get an approved one. Seems great, right?! Unless the J&J vaccination ends up sucking or I get a terrible side effect?? I may be late on this, but I'm in the J&J one shot trial and I think you should absolutely do it. I'm in a vaccine trial FB group and the most common side effects are fever, headache, body aches, sore arm and fatigue. I had a mild headache the day after my injection and a sore arm like a tetanus shot on days 3-5. I don't know as of yet if I have vaccine or placebo.

I was signing up for it last week, but unfortunately hit a snag. They need women of child bearing age to be on BC, and condoms don’t qualify, even if we added spermicide. Since I have FVL, I can’t be on BC pills or any of the hormonal types. Only the copper IUD could work for me, but I had decided long ago I wasn’t comfortable with an IUD. I’m really bummed. I wanted to be a part of history. I signed up for another, but figure it will have similar requirements.

ldubhawksfan, oh that is really disappointing. I can't do hormonal BC and not a good candidate for Cu. Our long term plan is for H to get a V. Does that qualify as an option?

Yes a V qualifies, but we haven’t pulled the trigger on that quite yet. I’m almost tempted to go through the trouble of the iud for the 5 mo that is needed, but I really don’t want to.
