We do also share a lot of DNA with bananas, Dia.

@zombe: Vaccinations are mandatory in some places in the U.S. if you work in the medical profession, like at a hospital or as an EMT or paramedic. There have been nurses and other hospital staff in the news in various states who were suspended or fired because they refused to be vaccinated.
That does not sound like vaccination being mandatory at all (though, it is a common misunderstanding). Quoting from the example linked:
Quote:
More than 100
staff members at Houston Methodist Hospital who were fired for refusing to get vaccinated for COVID-19 appealed a judge's ruling that sided with the
hospital's right to terminate their employment.That, in broad generalization, is pretty much standard in every country (our little tinpot Estonia included). If the risks justify it (it absolutely is justified for an hospital) then the employer has the right to require it - if you can not or will not get vaccinated and your work cannot be rearranged to an sufficiently less risky position (probably a big fat no for an hospital) then you cannot do your job and need to go (depending on contract specifics the employer in this situation might be required to pay out some hefty severance fees and cannot just fire them though).
As it happens, the link in my recent post concerning vaccinations in Estonia happened to cover this for out little tinpot country. Might be of interest as an comparing material for whatever other country:

Relevant sections:
"Are future sanctions or restrictions possible for people who are not vaccinated?"
"Can an employer request an employee's health data (incl. vaccination) and under what conditions?"
"Is it possible and under what conditions can an employer fire an employee (eg in a catering establishment) who refuses to be vaccinated?" (mostly the same answer as previous question)

anti-vaxxers are human, too
Like all gullible paranoids they're more animals, literally by definition of paranoid personality.
Self-righteous (and self-serving) animals thinking really high of themselves, as "chosen ones" (and of course they see "chosen ones conspiracies" everywhere, mirroring their internal machinations fueled by maniputaling&fearmongering politicians).

Got my second dose of Comintern or whatever the Pfizer vaccine is branded as these days. Very few people today, so I guess most people who wanted it have already got their jabs. Which apparently translates to ~39% fully vaccinated and ~45% partially vaccinated. Anyway, I was in and out in less than 15 minutes, which included waiting for 10 minutes afterwards, mostly just to rest my legs for a bit while I read the mail and skimmed some news. And no side effects whatsoever, not even a sore arm. I guess I was already augmented from the first time.

LULZ :D (I don't know how many can get the pun today in 2021, far right antivaxxers too)

Had my second dose last Saturday. I had a cold at the time (which the doc said was fine), so possibly as a knock-on from that, I slept at least 32 of the following 48 hours.
Feel great now mind.
On an unrelated matter, super excited for Windows 11.

Had my second shot yesterday, didn't feel much until 4 or so hours later when my arm started getting sore like with the first shot but on top of that I also got a headace and this morning my back and shoulders feel like I rearranged all my furniture yesterday.

All around pain (like after excessive physical activity) seems to be common side effect. After my first shot i only noticed shoulder protesting and thought that the rest was from bad sleeping position or something. Only connected the dots after the doc mentioned it on my second shot - and the all around pain repeated also.
No headache tho. Well, i quite literally have no idea how a headache would feel as i have never had one in my life. Thought that maybe i just don't know to categorize pain correctly as headache, however, people keep telling me if i had a headache - "you would know". For me headache is just an expression used when facing difficult mental gymnastics.
On different "news" - covid is starting to get out of hands here (breaking through tracking efforts). Got a record spike of 121 cases today (highest number in recent weeks was 95). For comparison to US pop count, that would be 121*250=30K - so, not there yet, but not good either.
Also, our vaccination coverage is abysmal. It was great till the fuckup where a lot of doses were lost and people got turned down (had relatives that got the call to reschedule) - it never recovered. Seems like a lot of people just went - ahh, fuck it, i cannot be bothered. A sentiment that was probably fueled by low case count at the time.

Hm, all the vaccines are for 12 and over - yet there now are some 0.1% in 0-11 groups. Doc decided that close enough to 12?
