The Last Covid-19 Megathread v. Hopefully...

Need to constantly get vax shots to work for the state of Washington

FWjJ2NjUEAAYpQR


@Mr. Krinkle
 
is the Dept. of Health a state agency?

i might be done in this state from ever shooting x-rays again until he's gone

you have no idea how much i can't stand that guy
 
"Previous vaccine mandates handed down by the governor’s office encompassed all healthcare and education workers. Thursday’s directive appears narrower, only explicitly referring to employees of state agencies. The governor’s office could not be immediately reached for comment on whether more sweeping long-term COVID-19 vaccine requirements are under consideration."
 
Google says it is

"The Washington State Department of Health is a state agency of Washington"
 
yea but im not an employee of the DOH

"Washington is home to approximately 62,000 state agency employees, according to 2021 data from the Office of Financial Management."

there's a lot more than 62,000 healthcare workers in this state - a whole lot more
 
that doesn't sound right either ^


i just found this:

The analysis found Washington has an average of 3.35 healthcare workers per 100 people in the state. According to the data, Washington has 252,590 healthcare workers, including 165,250 healthcare practitioners and 87,340 healthcare support workers.
 

Number of Employees and Headcount Trends | Office of Financial Management

Summary of workforce, headcounts as of December 31, 2022: executive branch – 67,103 legislative branch – 889 judicial branch – 576 general government (excluding higher ed) – 68,568 Number of State Employees by Agency and County (xlsx) - general government (excludes higher education institutions)...
ofm.wa.gov ofm.wa.gov

and then there's that ^ so that's where they're getting the 62,000 employees - they're from the executive branch - state employees

im golden :cool:

Yeah.... pushing this through is just madness. Every country has a lack of healthcare workers and some seem to think it's a good idea to fire 10%, unbelievable stuff.

Like in this stage of the pandemic, with everything we know, these things blow my mind Krinkle

and the only thing i can come up, is it's because big pharma has such an influence over politicians with all the money they feed them, that they're basically their puppets - i try to look at it another way, but what other reason would it be that an entire party is pushing something that's obsolete at this point?

it doesn't even make sense anymore

they guaranteed i'd catch it if i didn't get the shots - i got a kid who goes to public school and brings it all home - im around people all the time and i don't wipe down the shopping cart - but i also don't pick my nose right after pushing the cart either

but still - why do i have to get the shots? still til this day....why?

'The worst version' of COVID is spreading. Can we update our vaccines in time?

Viruses evolve, and vaccines should too. That was the big-picture takeaway from a pivotal meeting this week of the FDA’s expert advisory panel. The question before them was simple: Ahead of an expected winter surge, should vaccine manufacturers tweak their forthcoming booster shots to target...

i probably shouldn't have even read that article....but give it a read if you feel like getting caught back up in the insanity that never ends
 
The public hasn't been impressed enough by all the celebrities and politicians attending an active warzone, and no one gives a fuck about homosexuals getting a few spots, so... covid? Covid, anyone? How about some more covid! You love covid, right?
 
and every new and improved mutation, is supposed to be worse than the last.....always....

Dori: With ongoing emergency powers, Gov. Inslee imposes permanent vaccine mandate for state workers

A June 30 memo issued by Gov. Jay Inslee says you’re going to need to be vaccinated – and continue to get boosted against COVID-19 before July 2023.

With ongoing emergency powers, Gov. Inslee imposes permanent vaccine mandate for state workers​


The move, according to Hovde, is bold because the governor is making the requirement permanent. And new to his mandates: keeping boosters up to date, as recommended by the Center for Disease Control. While the governor’s office has not offered any clarification, this could mean that to be an eligible state worker, you would need a COVID booster every three months.

“A lot of people have lost their livelihood and their career because of this mandate,” she said. “We should be saying `no.’ We’re coming into a recession. This is the last time we need people to be out of work.”

Adams said in response to a question that yes, the vaccines will be mandatory and that he and his team are still “meeting and discussing” and trying to come up with the “best way to do it.”

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR SAYS HE WILL MANDATE COVID VACCINES FOR CHILDREN THIS FALL​

New York City Mayor Says He Will Mandate COVID Vaccines for Children This Fall

New York City has famously handled COVID as poorly as any city on earth. From the initial surge and horrific death rates due in part to sending COVID

I don't see why vaccines for this would be required honestly. Most (nearly all) people have had the vaccine, exposure, or some combination thereof. Thus, everyone is fairly well-protected. Also, today's variants are not as severe as what was going around in 2020. It's not even a close comparison. Also, the vaccine does not necessarily even prevent illness at all. In fact, I caught coronavirus and got sick two weeks after getting the booster back in January. So, I don't think it's all that effective. At least, it's quite ineffective for some people IMO. This doesn't seem entirely unusual.

After all, drugs and medications can work very differently from one person to another. Thus, the vaccine could work for some people and not others. There are a lot of variables at play, such as the health of one's immune system and past infections/exposure to coronavirus. Plus, there could be other factors at play that doctors aren't even aware of yet. The human body is exceedingly complex, and modern medicine still does not understand everything. We're not even close. Normally, it takes 4-5 years to develop a vaccine.

However, this one was created in around a year. Now, it's been a little over a year since it was released. So, it's probably better understood than it was early on. Though, there are still unknowns. In addition to the fact that it does not work for everyone, there is a possibility of serious side effects for some people, as is the case for every drug/medication. I'm not saying that the risk outweighs the benefit necessarily, but I think that we might not know the answer to that question for everyone. We also might not understand the effects of repeated booster doses.

There could be "long-term effects" associated with getting vaccinated over and over again. There's no way to say whether there is or isn't yet with any degree of certainty. Rather, we just don't know. So, I really don't agree with the idea of mandating that people get it. Ordering people to take a drug/medication of any kind just seems wrong to me honestly. It's a violation of people's body autonomy. People who do want to take the vaccine aren't really endangered by people who choose not to get it, especially not at this point.

Honestly, the disease itself is somewhat unremarkable. It's a virus that causes illness in a majority of people who get it, but the overall risk of death from it is quite low. In general, Covid-19 is a lot like the flu. So, why is it that everyone is treating it so differently with vaccine requirements (and even forced testing in some industries) being so commonplace? It's almost as if those in power are using this to prepare everyone for some sort of new societal structure where the authorities have greater control over our lives. Who knows exactly where that would lead? But it probably wouldn't be good.

well usually they are weaker - again virus 101 as a virus becomes more contagious, it becomes less pathogenic

so again
