UTTERLY ridiculous! been trying to schedule the shots for my 82 year old mother for over 2 weeks now and NOTHING! UTTERLY stupid!
walmart?: "we don't have it and don't know when we are going to get it!" and have no idea because the powers that be seemingly haven't even given them ANY heads up time table?
CVS?: the same thing as above!
walgreens?: ON THEIR WEBSITE, appointments available at various locations near you, time of appointments come up under each location, 12 appointments wednesday at one location, 5 appointments available on wednesday at another location, and so on... click on each time and each location near me, OOPS, so sorry ALL of these "available" appointments are NOT, i repeat NOT available and already taken? we, meaning walgreens, are just too stupid and or lazy to UPDATE our damn website!...
local county health department: call them over and over and over for hours at a time and either you get 1) no one answers the phone, no answering machine OR 2) always always busy! (for hours at a time!).....
dial "1" to schedule a appointment (when you do get thru to a automated system voice)..... OOPS, no one is answering that line either, whether machine or actual person!...
TOTAL WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADVICE given? "oh, just try to at MIDNIGHT! go back on our website (walgreens) and keep on trying! because the appointments go so fast!" UH HUH! yeah, i'll keep on waking up at midnight to go your website day after day? WTF!.... WHAT KIND OF MESSED UP SYSTEM IS THAT!..
NEVER HEARD ANYTHING like this in my entire life! where you can't even SCHEDULE AHEAD OF TIME for a appointment even if it's 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month out and so on!....
never mind, why should you make a appointment in the first damn place! BY NOW EVERYONE SINGLE PLACE should have countless vaccines ready to go to deal with the massive overflow of people! (as if they're thousands upon thousands AT THE SAME TIME descending on a walgreens or CVS? really? REALLY?)....
sorry to ramble but this is utterly "F"ucked up!

It's the same in Canada. Very incompetent, but doesn't matter for anyone under 80.
It's new vaccine technology, so I'd give it a few years before taking it. Though, I'll personally take the 1 in 6,500 chance of death in my age range. As for your mother...at 82, she's in the risk group, so I can see why you're upset.
Irish Dave Cullen [ComputingForever] said the reason why they are being so incompetent with the rollout is so people complain about that...as opposed to the erosion of our civil liberties.

Hi Tom, I'm sorry for your frustration.
Stay calm and be patient, your mom has made it through the worst of the spread of the virus. Even if she's recieved the vaccine today life wouldn't return to normal for her. She would still be wearing a mask in public and bars in her neighborhood are still closed. Have her refocus on the goals she would like to accomplish during this downtime, as we are almost through this.
And enjoy everyday you have with your mom, she won't be here forever.

Where do you live? I am in South Florida and had no problem in making an appointment to be vaccinated. I did it over the phone without talking to an actual person. They called me in person 3 hours later, and 2 days after that I had the shot and an appointment for the second.

Why would you get the vaccine?

I am in my seventies and have a somewhat weak immune system. Why would you not?

Can you disclose your infirmities and related medical illnesses? We will need this information to determine if you should have gotten the vaccine.
Thanks.

Over 70 puts your odds of dying of Covid-19 at about 1 in 15. Further health conditions will increase the odds of dying.
Anyone under 60 and healthy getting the vaccine is most likely brainwashed. There's no logical reason to get a virus if the odds of dying are lower than 1 in 1,000.
People don't apply this shit mathematical reasoning to anything else but COVID, so I have reason to believe they are just psychologically controlled by the TV.
These same people do all manner of things that are riskier than not getting a new experimental mRNA vaccine. Again, the math doesn't add up.
At over 70, I'd say - go for it. If you were 60 or younger, I'd be laughing at your post. But you are somewhat in the risk group.

Dave - do whatever you want. If you will be a guinea pig for this new vaccine technology, I'm happy about that - it only benefits me in the long-run at no significant cost.
But I'm not going to get a vaccine made from new technology for a virus with virtually 0 chance of killing me so that Bill Gates can have a recurring revenue model.

if you are under 60 its guaranteed the vaccine kills more people than the virus. Whats the mortality rate under 60,...like .03%?

Matt I will do whatever I want. Thank you.
My question was addressed to Tom, I noticed you weighed in with your expert medical opinion, I would like more information before I do the same. I do not offer medical advice on here flippantly.
FYI you posting on the internet makes you a Bill Gates Guinea Pig so you've been participating in his revenue model for years!

IT'S FRUSTRATING AND AS I STATED ASININE!.....
i don't care about myself, but as the caregiver and caretaker of my 82 year old mother who lives with me and i'm the one who is out and about going to the gym, grocery shopping and so on i HAVE to worry about her welfare...

Got mine but they had way more shots (US hospital network) than people showing up for the shots. I bet they had to throw some vaccines out!!!
Here is the problem:
1. Too much complicated online signups. Most people are comfortable with online but lots of people don’t go online and get left out. How about some old fashioned phone calls and other outreach if you want to get it out broadly?
2. Too particular about who gets it and who does not. You have to come showing Over 65 ID or paperwork proving you are an essential worker. How about throwing the doors wide open if you have all the extra capacity like I observed yesterday.
3. Too much worrying about White people getting it rather than Blacks or Latinos. Lots of Blacks don’t want it yet until it’s proved itself a little bit more and that’s their prerogative. Worrying about racial equity right now when you just need to speed the process up as fast as possible just seems silly.
4. Too many channels in US (like with everything else we do). Do I wait to hear from my hospital network? Do I depend on my local health department? A pharmacy? My employer? Most people don’t know where to turn and just get frustrated.

The same shit is going on in Oregon. As of 2/25/2021, there were only two places in Oregon giving shots, one in Primeville and one in Ontario. Both of these are small rural towns of around 10,000 people. The Oregon Health Advisory (OHA) website has not been updated since last Thursday when it was down.

Sorry to disappoint you dude, but I'm under 60 and took the shot when offered - but not because I fear the bullsh1t 'virus'
My logical reasons were twofold: First - rightly or wrongly, I have no fear of the vaccine, second - it looks like European countries will make travel easier for us jab-monkeys, and I like my sunny beach holidays
Far as I see this thing is voluntary, so just say no ;D
ps - you say the math doesn't add up - in what way?

I don't mean to be a dickhead, but I don't understand why we are giving it to the oldest population first. If you've made it to 70-80 you've lived a full life. You're most likely not working anymore and provide no revenue for our government to waste. You're also likely in a lot of pain everyday, and wish life would end. Give it to the people in the 20-50 range first so they can go to fucking work, and end these bullshit shutdowns. FFS we added a pathetic 44,000 jobs last month....lowest is decades, and that doesn't take into account the sniffer's in charge signature that killed/affected over 10,000 jobs. In one month that fuckhead has done more damage to the country than the last 5 POTUS's. Sadly, the only thing good (horrible) is that when he dies, retires, found incapable, or impeached, we end up with whore that sucked and fucked her way into office via Willie Brown, and an old mean ass bitch that turned SF from a beautiful city into a cesspool that actually has a human shit map.

Where I live the shots were not a problem. my father got his first last week and his second is end of March.

You have your own town?
Of course I do. ;) Actually, another old guy you may have heard of Bill Pearl who is 90 years old was born in Primeville. He currently lives in Phoenix, Oregon which is an even smaller town with only about 4,500 residents.

Primeville, where all public buildings are installed with Glory

Received my first Moderna jab 8 days ago. Already I’ve noticed my skin is starting to peel from my body and I have an uncontrollable urge to vomit over any food before putting it into my mouth. Damn you Biden, Trudumb and big pharma. You got me again.

At least the US gov't has got its priorities in order... ::)
"R. Kelly 'gets both doses of Covid vaccine' in jail awaiting trial on child sex abuse charges
R. Kelly reportedly got his first dose of the coronavirus vaccine in January and the second this month, meaning he is now fully inoculated
The 'I Believe I Can Fly' singer, 47, reportedly got his first dose of the jab in January and the second this month, meaning he is now fully inoculated, according to TMZ.
Kelly is awaiting trial in in Illinois and New York on 22 charges, including sexual abuse and exploitation, trafficking underage girls, producing indecent images of children and destroying evidence.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Kelly is one of more than 60 inmates who have been fully vaccinated so far at Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Centre."

Oh, I'm supposed to be upset b/c he was forced to take 2 dosages of those fucboi vaccines but I've declined mine so far. I'm so hurt.

No issue with the elderly. I thought it was a grown a$$ healthy man crying about a shot.

I got the vaccine yesterday, but for some reason she put in my leg.
Pfizer killing!
