At Walmart this afternoon, LOL

I was shopping in the pharmacy area and this older gentleman was sitting down after getting his
covid shot and we happened to make eye contact and he asked me if I had the latest, replied yes
and then he said "I've been putting off getting it but figured I better before Kennedy makes it illegal
next week" LOL

Wound up talking about how terrible tsf is going to be for this country.

But at my VA visit Thursday the nurse offered and I said hell yes. I have had them all, but last night my arm and shoulder hurt like hell. All my joints hurt and I was nauseous with a fever through the night.
First time I had side effects, but damn glad I got it, especially after your post about it may be stripped from us.
I think the tracing chips may were bigger now for wider tracking abilities. 😉

gardening chores start soon, and that third arm would be very useful.

I just need to dig out the mind control chip the deep state injected into me to bring me in the cult with brain damage. That’s why they convince the cultist to “not”get vaxxed.
They are already gone. Convince the libs they got to get it. Then they can target the ones they don’t already have.
I will eat a few gummies tomorrow and dig it out. Or get my nurse daughter to. Hard to see in the side of the arm. If I can’t control the urge tonight before removal, I have a hammer by the bed and I can throw it at the TV if for some reason all of a sudden Hannity or Ingragam is on.
Cheers

I skipped a few of them also, but the most recent one should be enough to keep us out of the hospital or the morgue.

impetus, the reign of terror and insanity about to begin. Was in walmart, immediately went to the pharmacy, they handed me some forms, and I was done. Whole thing took maybe 10 or 12 minutes. I continued with my shopping, went home. No side effects, as per usual. But at least that is covered for a few months, before brainworm bob and company screw everything up, AGAIN.

The young man was nice and I'm quite the talkitive one. I said, "figure I better get this before the dumbass shitbags take control." He said, "It's ok sir. Only the smart people get vaccinated."

That just made me feel good.

Figuring I'm going to get every possible vaccine.

CVS is actually doing an outreach program right now, calling customers who may need/be eligible for this or that.

I wondered if it was related to current affairs. CVS isn't my regular pharmacy but I do go there for covid, etc. I was getting calls from them on my cell and ignoring them because I thought they were scams -- we had been getting a lot of offshore call center -sounding calls on our landline purporting to be "from your CVS pharmacy". When they left a voicemail, I did call back but gave up when I discovered it was impossible to get a human. By a sheer fluke, I answered yet another call from them last week.

I didn't think twice. Shingles, etc was on my list anyway. I said, "sign me up."

In case he does, you know, make it all illegal.

Friday, I was doing the same in the Atchison, KS Wallyworld. Covid and flu shots. The pharmacist doing the honors and I had much the same conversation. On the twentieth, I'm celebrating by getting a shingles vax...because the Orange Hellbeast makes me think of the leprosy disease!
It was nice to meet a fellow liberal, as we're rather sparse on the ground here in rural, northeast Kansas.

Those POS Trump humpers are starting to see the light of what will happen to them TOO but of course it's too damn late. They supported that NAZI not matter how much TRUTH was put out about what his plans would be.

Now the shit storm begins in 24 hours you MAGOT fools and we will have Dictators/Authoritarians at a US Presidential swearing in ceremony. My FUCKING gawd!!
