Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Antivaxxers everywhere will be disappointed to know I'm still just fine, do not get 5G, have no nanobots or microchips, and am full of spicy memes to make fun of them with. Go get your shots.

Honestly, my natural tendency is towards laziness, so if I wasn't in the situation I'm in, I might not be so strict about vaccines. However, I work for a hospital, so flu shots are mandatory, and since it's easy enough to just go in to work and get flu and COVID vaccines, I do it every year.

I'm also not an idiot, so I trust the scientific process more than I trust the average Internet asshole.

I'm so, so anal about them. I realized recently that people that got vaccinated only in 2021 that they're basically unvaccinated now and God knows what they'll spread.

I'm pretty sure my parents have stopped getting vaccinated.

We had a surprise anniversary party for them in summer, and they came up to me to tell me that Tylenol causes autism.

I still have the headache from the facepalm.
