I had a horribly swollen lymph node after my shot, but not until like four days after when ally other symptoms were gone. I googled it to see if it was from the vaccine and a million cancer articles popped up. I definitely panicked for a minute, until a read a couple.

Sorry if I'm acting a little unhinged. I'm very pissed about all this. You don't sound unhinged and I personally don't think it's fair to essential workers to put them in that position - especially when many of them are getting shafted on vaccine eligibility. Twitter comments are frequently a hellscape of people being willfully obtuse. I don't Twitter so I hadn't seen how people are on it. I'm definitely going to pass along that post to some upper management at my store and see if they can pass it along to higher ups. There needs to be a firmer statement issued.

Thinking about how things would need to ramp up for the May goal, I feel like there is going to be a parallel this March with March 2021, where every day seemed to be full of news and changes, but this time in a good way with tiers and eligible groups.

I know everyone here know this but this is an important thread on why ending these mask mandates really puts retail in a no win situation. It’s just awful. This is a little misleading. AFAIK we will still have signage up that we want customers wearing masks and will have them to offer to them. Ask them to wear one. If they refuse they refuse. The only difference will be the sign that says 'due to local ordinance'. And if a city starts a mandate, that would help. We have never been able to throw a customer out for not wearing a mask. We could ask them to leave. If they don't, they don't. We can't put hands on customers nor can we be calling law enforcement. They wouldn't come anyway. Sorry did you click through and read the whole thread? She elaborates that HEB is begging customers to do the right thing and still wear a mask. but is basically saying - life was hard for retail workers and basically will be harder without the weight of the law. The person is in Texas so I assumed she is speaking from experience but maybe she is exaggerating. I know here, people are definitely kicked out of stores without masks. It’s polite at first - hey do you have a mask in your car? Can you put one on? But it gets escalated when people persist. I’ve seen it probably about 6 times over the last year and I’m barely in the store. So I think this is coming from the stand point that the one lever the retail workers had to say “this is the law” is now gone.

I try not to post the whole thread because it makes for a whole page and it duplicates posts. Just wanted you to get the full context. I’m just aghast at how stupid this move is right now. Like wait a couple of months.

I love Twitter but I don't read comments from randos basically ever. So that's why I probably like it.

DH joined Twitter a little while ago and he tries to read comments to me all the time.
No sir. I don't need to know what @donaldsgoingtojail![wave emoji][wave emoji][wave emoji] is saying about anything. Thanks.

Abbott just lifted all restrictions in Texas. FUCK YOU Abbott!!! I am so mad. SO MAD I'm here with you. This is so so dumb. Like just a few more months man. A few more months and so many more people could be vaccinated. I assume he is doing this to take the heat off himself over the winter storm, yes?

I know the EMA needs to gets its act together and approve the JnJ vax. I saw they were making a decision on March 11. If we didn't drag on these at the EU level fewer countries would be considering buying Sputnik.

I obviously see some nutjobs rejoicing in this, but I’m hearing even more people say it’s too soon.

I'd like Beto to go ahead and announce that he is running for governor now please. I'm still so mad this morning. Just one more month would have helped tremendously!

I know the zoo, museums, and schools I’ve seen have all said masks will be enforced. The natural science museum had a statement that was almost snarky. I think it was a stupid political decision. It’s so close to re-election time. This may flip some people over to Beto or whoever runs. 🤞🏻

I have an elderly coworker who is refusing the vaccine for now because she wants to see how people react to it. And she said that it's being watered down. I'm very blinky guy at her.

A whole year of seeing how people, especially the elderly, react to the virus, you know, by DYING, isn’t enough for her? 😖

I’ll be honest I don’t even care about these people right now because I just want me and mine to get it. And selfishly, it makes me think good it’s one less person in line before the county calls me for standby lol.

Our mammo inspectors have said a bunch of facilities are now rescheduling screening mammos until 6-8 weeks after vaccination (diagnostic will stay as scheduled).

My grandma won't get it. She says she's not going anywhere anyways. (Spoiler Alert: She still goes EVERYWHERE). We just aren't seeing her. Basically every other adult in my circle who has been offered the vaccine has gotten it.

This is how my mom's building distributed vaccines as well. I've not loved a lot of things they've done this pandemic, but this one was done nicely.

I just hate the stories I’m hearing of older people struggling with being able to make an appointment. They have suffered so much during all this - make it easy for them to get the vaccine.
