Is a thread killer, apparently

Variants.

Yeah, should've gotten Moderna based on that.

I stand corrected. I must have tried a different search method and they didn't show. My bad!

Looks like the M-Frees are gone.

Shit. I opted for the all-blue company... I'm going to die!!

Yeah, it was one of the partners (can't remember either's name, now..). Good guys. I've been there a couple of times but it's been a few years.

Thank you for doing that. I thanked all the volunteers I could when I got my first shot and will Monday when I get the second. You all are why we're able to get as many doses as we are, along with...

A friend of my wife who is involved with volunteering at the Spokane mass vax site, Veteran's Memorial Arena, sent at text stating that they're taking walk-ins. Anyone 18 or older is welcome, no...

Thanks Chaka. Pretty much says what I expected. I would only point out that those folks in E WA who aren't getting the vax aren't doing it because of Trump (although he contributed mightily) but...

Hmmm....reached the limit of free articles for the Seattle Times, couldn't read it.

A Biological Fukushima...

Tips^Up - I missed your claim about full FDA approval and incomplete Phase 3 trials. Jono is correct in his arguments and is clearly more knowledgeable on these aspects than me so I'll defer to his...

Tips^Up - It's obvious you've given/are giving this a lot of thought. You're being very rational in your decision making and weighing all the pro/cons and not providing any points that can really be...

I haven't lost hope but I think it's going to take awhile to get to herd immunity due to the hesitancy. The issue is whether we can get to herd immunity before some variant comes along that escapes...

I know this is a pipe dream but I would hope the people vaxxed would treat others respectfully and continue the practices of mask wearing and social distancing. But that's not how we tend to act,...

In Washington, pregnant women over the age of 16 are one of the eligible categories and have been for a little while, anyway. Seems pretty clear where our State health officials line up on this. I...

Seriously, where do people come up with crap like this?

I'm not sure that's entirely it, although I think it's a contributor. In looking at the map PNW put up, the percentages between counties aren't that different. Most are in the 60% plus for over 65...

Thank you for making my point.

Perhaps but the State apparently hasn't done that so that could be pointed at as a failure point as well. There are still open appointments in WW two weeks later and it's apparently been like that...

Precisely.

I recognize it's not true in Seattle and that's what's driven the reluctance to open it up earlier. I think the relaxation on criteria has been solely based on what has been happening in Seattle. So...

If the latitude was for adjusting criteria based on demand, I'm not sure how they could have really fucked it up. As for the concern over inequality, that would exist regardless of the criteria. The...

And good for you. I did the same. What irks me is that some officials have essentially been encouraging people to cheat and put their own integrity on the line rather than have the state do the right...

Precisely my point. The problem is that 'the top' made the decision to control it from the State level and to not delegate authority to the local health departments. And, they haven't adjusted on the...

Lame. Let the local health authorities determine local eligibility.

They had a space for insurance information on the online form I did for my Idaho vax. I just put in private insurance and when I was on site, they told someone else to not worry about it as the shots...

Yay!

They only claimed 90 days at the beginning since that was how long the trials went.

Good. Getting some guts to color outside the lines. Good decision. Are you still going to do the volunteer thing?

What changed?

Considering their list price before sale is < half the list price on the Smith site, judge for yourself. When the lens film starts to peel at the first sign of UV, try out their warranty coverage...

Originally, that's what Providence was going to do. Wife was on a wait list but when the State was allocating vaccines, they told Providence that they had to have open public enrollment or they...

Yeah, well...it's the government so....

That's kind of strange. Again, too much confusion over the state's guidelines. Providence is correct, right now it's tier 1.B.4, not 2 or 3. As I understand it, as of yesterday, we go straight from...

In WA, people have been getting forced to check their moral compass because the state has been iron-fisted in controlling what should be local decisions. As in altasnob's example, some with the...

My speculation on this is that more than 102 breakthrough cases exist (0.01%) and that the number is quite a bit higher, in line with the clinical trials. That would be more like 60,000 cases than...

Yes, on a positive note, if you get the vaccine (and I can't for the life of me think of any reason why you won't), you'll be getting it sans aforementioned clusterfuck. Seattle will be or, at least...

How about a thread dedicated to lutefisk?

Just announced: All WA residents 16 and older eligible for the vaccine as of April 15th. Yay!

^^ hmmm.....not really sure this is the forum you want to share that last bit of information. You know the drill...

Nice! Like I said, bloodsuckers. They were looking for clients to line up for the pending suit. Lowlifes.

Timme schooled Mobley. The whole team was pretty balanced and just beat up USC with game speed. Full court game favors Zags every time.

^^ That's interesting that WA is shown as May 1. I don't see anywhere on the DOH website that addresses this. They show all above 16 as Phase 3 while we're just in Phase 1.B.4 right now. I wonder...

Geez, TP, didn't know about your episode. Thankfully you're apparently through it and Phil as well. Horrible timing with all else that's going on in the world. Stay well, both of you!

What? You don't follow Q? Get with it, man. That's where all the real news resides.

Cool! Aren't you glad you didn't drive to WW? Or lie?

Whoosh would likely be more appropriate...

Yeah, based on preliminary reports; 'helicopter crashed just below a ridge line then tumbled 800-900 feet.' From that preliminary report, you can easily see how the bloodsuckers could interpret that...
