Shanghai Disneyland will close in effort to contain coronavirus

Hmm, I never went through that. When I got the flu vaccine two years ago he blasted that needle in my arm at the end of my appointment and I was out the door to head home (Cleveland Clinic Main Campus). The next year, I got it at work and it was the same deal. They do ask you about allergies, though, yes.

But if you notice in the article, the nurse from Alaska who ended up in ICU had no previous allergies (known, at least). But who knows, might just be unknown allergies to certain medications or something. I'm sure given the trials, the vaccine manufacturer won't even know all the reactions and such at this point... Should find out soon enough, though!

Allergic reactions to vaccines are not a new phenomenon, or for any drugs, for that matter. (I love the hilarious disclaimers in the TV commercials... "People allergic to this drug should not take this drug.")

Not to mention all the side effects that are way worse than whatever the drug is intended for!

Take "X" drug for something relatively minor, but you may end up with a stroke, indigestion, liver failure, increased cancer risk and a dozen other ailments. Always entertaining... Especially when you get to watch people dancing around looking so happy while they tell you how dangerous their drug may be.

You failed to mention the number one, all-time favorite- Anal Leakage!!

Whenever you get a traditional flu vaccine in a dr.'s office you fill out paperwork that asks a very common question about your history of any allergic reactions to the vaccine in the past. Then your doctor always asks you to wait around for 10-15 minutes in case a reaction develops regardless of how you answered that question.

I was only asked to wait around the very first time I got a flu shot back in college. Now they come to work and I'm usually going from stabbed to back at my desk in a minute and a half.

For clarification; this is the protocol in medical facilities only, so the recommendation is that if you do have a history of issues with vaccines you do it at a medical office of some kind.

We always do it (just because it's timed well) at our annual well-visits, and she always gives us the shot first so that by the time we are done we can just skedaddle.

And I just used the word skedaddle in a sentence.

All right, even though you drew attention to it, I'll give you an upvote for that alone.

I’m waiting to use the word canoodle in this thread but so far there hasn’t been an opportunity.

Seems like the next step after dry humping.

I thought the canoodle was involved in dry humping?

I always get my flu shot at Target because they give you a $5 gift card to get it there, and the shot is free so I'm making money on the deal.

Hmm...Target sells the new Xbox for $499.99...or one hundred flu shots...

Isn't that the name of that small, charming park in central PA? Or is it the one in New Hampshire?

Vaccine fast passes?

Vaccines hate poor people.

I actually think the virus hates poor people.

The United States doesn't give a **** about poor people.

Some people have resources and some don’t. Those who have resources can make more happen and generate future resources better than those who don’t.

You will always have people in higher classes than others. If there isnt sufficient reward for risk or resources then there isn’t any sense in undertaking the journey.

edit: this post makes less sense since the one above me almost entirely got deleted.
