    FYI, I’m vaxxed and got COVID. Happy that I was vaxxed. It feels like cross between bad cold and regular flu and is starting to go away after about 8-9 days. YMMV

    A few weeks ago I got sucked into a facebook argument with an old high school buddy about the vax (something I try not to do). He had all the typical arguments, its not proven, it violates his freedom, hes pretty sure he has already had it so he is naturally immune now, blah, blah, blah. Needless to say I didnt convince him of shit.
    Yesterday this popped up on our group facebook page for our high school class... SAME GUY!

    "Sorry I left this out, he is suffering from blood clots due to covid.
    Doug is in need of our prayers and good thoughts. He is fighting for his life.
    they were told yesterday that he would not survive, but we are asking EVERYONE TO PLEASE PRAY, and also praise God!!!
    & to Get a prayer out as fast as you can, to EVERYONE….
    From lou:
    Doug has stabilized on his back. They were not expecting this. The left leg is viable. Right leg will need amputated above knee. Vascular surgeon who told me there’s no hope yesterday, is taking him to surgery within the hour. There are no guarantees, we know this.
    I have been speaking to Doug through the HS. I know he can hear me.
    Doug had surgery and as far as I know at 5:20 on Tuesday, Doug made it through surgery but needs lots of prayers"


    For what its worth he is in excellent shape (former military) as a mailman he walks miles a day. Bottom line get fucking vaccinated! Prayers are fucking worthless, get the vaccine!

    Sorry Telee, that sucks but at least you tried. I haven't even tried with my closest antivax friend on FB, knowing that there is a 0% chance of changing his mind.

    Why do so many (all of them?) of these God-believing people think that prayers work on a sort of popularity contest? Like, oh if only we get 200 prayers today God will intervene with this horrible virus and make Steve live.... Nevermind that God could have prevented this virus in the first place, and prevented Steve from getting it in the first place.

    It's like do they think God is just up there cranking bong hits playing some PS5 thinking "man Steve's really gonna die if I don't do something, ah well" and suddenly all these prayers come flying in and he's like "ahh shit, guess I'll let him live this time!"

    Makes me feel bad for the kid who's parents just got blown up by a US drone strike with their one desperate prayer - they don't stand a chance unless they have the facebook prayer farm at their disposal.

    Looking forward to my mix and match booster. If it's good enough for grocery store workers, it's good enough for me. I'm not waiting until the government tells me I'm eligible. (I'm also turning 40 in August and it looks like they'll recommend 40+ soon anyway).

    If you care about your health and family, I'd go get the booster as soon as you can. It's not worth risking. YMMV

    I mean... it's just as likely a scenario as any other nutty religious scenario.

    I could be convinced to become a believer if there really were bong-hits in heaven.

    I was under the impression they were doing this to get an idea how high or low infection rates are at a neighborhood level.. not for specific people or households.. So they know where to target intervention efforts..
    Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

    Oh there's bong hits for sure. But I doubt they can get their hands on a PS5, what with all the shopping bots and all.

    If it's evangelical heaven, those bongloads are probably Mexican ditch weed. Not in.

    That would be disappointing... what with the over-abundance of kind bud in today's world.
