Not to be cold but....No vaccination, no treatment. Actions have consequences as my conservative friends like to say.

Lol. True. Although the doctor did offer me the AZ vaccine. I'm not a risk case I'm guessing.

Here in Missouri we have more vaccines than people who want them.

Pretty much everyone can get it now in the US.

Vaccination centers in Hamburg are far from working at full capacity, while I'd immediately go there to get my dose. But I'm too young.

Oh, Indiana was so bad. Not even diabetics unless you were type 1 and have been hospitalized in the last year.

Old people saying no to Astra.
BernieMittens
That I'm okay with. They didn't pass the vibe check
moonnoodleface
Women have a higher chance of getting a blood clot from their birth control than from the Astra. Just get the vaccine.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Vastly higher. And seniors are far more likely to die from the side effects of all the pills they're popping to control blood pressure etc.
AmHumanNotLizardMan
The risk of clots from astra is also something like 1/10th that of contracting them from covid itself too. So it is likely to help not harm
gumol
AFAIK not all blood clots are the same, so it's comparing kind of apples to oranges.
Gladbacher1976
I (45 years old) would take it...
miprola
Saxony is lifting the age restrictions on vaccination with Astra. So if you happen to live in Saxony, ask your family doctor
Icanhearwhatyouresayingandtheanswerisno
But then again, you’d be living in saxony, so why would you even want to go on living?
Gladbacher1976
Nope. NRW. Laschetcountry.... da funktioniert nichts!

Check the registration anyway. I qualified due to my weight. Or talk with your doctor. Maybe they can help.

VenomSnek
Same here, the risk of blood clots isn't that high anyway.

I read somewhere the contraceptive pill has a higher chance of causing blood clots FFS.
SgtLoveCrimes
It massively decreases your risk of blood clots. The media is good at getting half the information across.
raodek
Im taking contraceptice pills which have way higher risk. Just gimme the astra and let me see people again
theredeemablefemalecousin78
Same vicious cycle here in Switzerland ??.
MasterWo1f
Is there a sign up thing in Switzerland like in the US? Or do we just have to keep waiting?
theredeemablefemalecousin78
You have to register online. They will then send you an Email when it's your turn to get vaccinated.
MasterWo1f
But it said on the website that you need a medical certificate from your generalist, if you don’t have a qualifying medical condition or age
theredeemablefemalecousin78
You have to fill out the form on the website and they will put you in a category for eligibility for the vaccine.
FrozenBird
Same in the Netherlands...

In my city, just an hour away, I couldn't get a appt until June 21st (I'm 34). They told me they'd vaxx anyone that would come.

Around for weeks to find someone willing to give me an appt because I'm only in my 30s.

Buddy of mine said if you put on myturn website you are in agriculture, they don't ask questions and you qualify. Got my first shot already
LeSethX
Some friends got vaccinated early by showing up with a spouse who was eligible and the sites here had extras.

You've got many friends with elderly spouses?

I have a lot of teacher friends, who were given shots earlier than most.

Anywhere near Seattle? I can't get a fucking vaccine for love nor money here. I'm considering driving out to Trump country if I gotta.
robotzombies
Heard Yakima County is begging for people. If you sign up through the Seattle'ss website, there are occasional appointments at Lumen Field.
goddamimgur
In Texas the Governor has basically been directing most state vaccine supply to rural since FEMA moved into urban areas. Cunt.
fandsor
I can't find it anywhere in the Seattle area either, though the vaccine site at the Outlet Mall in Auburn is accepting walk-ins.

USA bought like 3x the amount needed to vaccinate its population or something from what I heard, beliveable but unsourced
Sumdumguy42
Read that too. Germany secured 410 doses (83m population), but that includes yet uncertified vaccines
Wargamez
Idk, I think they bought enough for the majority of the country but didn't think so many people would be anti-vax
VenomSnek
This is basically Sweden as well now. The old don't want to take the vaccines, the young can't get them. Solution? Thrashing the vaccines.
SIGMA920
Why didn't they just make the next group eligible? That way the vaccines won't expire.
VenomSnek
Good question. The sensible way would be to let people come in and get what's available if there is leftovers. But no. Trash them. 1/
VenomSnek
Previously people that wasn't eligible used what was left but even that was frowned upon. Idiotic. :/ 2/
roneyBugPrince
Really that's interesting, Sweden is usually one of countries everyone looks up
VenomSnek
Sweden's response to this pandemic hasn't been exemplary. But exactly how it really fared will be interesting to see in the years ahead.

Yup. We're currently vaccinating 40-49 year olds. In my county we've done 93% of over 50s.
Iamthevirus77
In the US where I live, I signed up yesterday afternoon, got an appointment that evening, and got 1st Pfizer shot about an hour ago.
afatrollofmyown
It took me a week from becoming eligible to actually get an appointment
Iamthevirus77
Just lucky I guess, I was surprised how quickly things moved. It was the first place I even tried.
Iamthevirus77
Only drove a half mile. Next appointment in 3 weeks.
afatrollofmyown
I had to drive 40miles, one way for mine.
Iamthevirus77
Personally speaking, I was willing to wait awhile for somewhere close if need be. I guess luck was just on my side.
PhailRaptor
Wait... the US isn't the worst at vaccinating? *confused Freedom noises*
Scarsn
Us germans are the best... at bureaucracy. But if you're elligable you're basically guaranteed a shot within the week, soooo... eh.
gumol
It's one of the best. The vaccination speed in US is insane and amazing. Out of major countries, only UK is better than US.

USA was always a biotech powerhouse
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
We can't get enough vaccine over here. The US sits on tens of millions of AstraZeneca doses & refuses to let them be shipped. And Biden ...
Snickt
US is usually has much stricter regulations for medications. Astra Zeneca clinical trial has not yet reported results...
Snickt
and the company has not applied to the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
If anything, the fact that the vaccine isn't even approved for emergcency use in the US makes it all the more unreasonable to hold on to it.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Irrelevant. The EU has approved and ordered the vaccine. It doesn't have to be approved in the US in order to be shipped to us.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
is starting to sound like Trump with his "America first" BS. Says Americans need to be vaccinated first, the rest of the world can have ...
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
some if the US has a surplus afterwards. Bitch, German, British and Swedish companies partnered with US pharma producers because they ...

promised rapid mass production and a supply for the EU. We wouldn't have had to share our research with the US. We could have just patented…
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
our vaccines. This is not how one repairs the strained US-EU relations after the Trump nightmare.
PhailRaptor
Before you blame Biden for that, know that the Trump admin essentially boobytrapped the contracts for vaccines, so the companies are ->
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Um, no. Not AstraZeneca and Pfizer–BioNTech since those vaccines weren't developed with grants, or at all in the US. Again, EU pharma ...

-> legally bound to only provide them to American vaccine sites until such time as the country has finished vaccinating.

Same with us in Canada. We broke into the top 10 in daily cases yesterday. Yaaayyy...yy... *cries in politeness*
SkyRattlers
Not true at all. Here in Ontario it is available for anyone over 40 and in hotspots as low at 18
djzapz
By "not true at all" you mean "partially not true" then.

No I mean that this meme does not describe Canada at all.

On the basis that it doesn't describe Ontario, a part of Canada? Because that's what's happening in many areas including mine.

Still haven’t done that in Alberta yet. Frustrating too because I’m a contractor that works exclusively in patient care facilities.
DarthHypno
You can get it now as long as you show some form of healthcare ID
ComputerGeeksAreSexySomtimes
Not according to AHS since I’m a communications contractor. I don’t have anything to do with direct patient care.

I just thought with 2C you have to book through 811 but it applies to people who work in patient care facilities

OtterAvalanche
My MIL is vaccine shopping and turned down AZ over the blood clots -_-

blood clots occurred in people taking AstraZeneca vaccine at about 1/250,000, blood clots from the pill estimated 1/1,000 women each year.

I thought that in first but I looked into it. And no, it's fine. People are travelling to where the vaccines are available, and that's okay.
RoboGumbo
No issues in blue, urban New Orleans either. Not because of anti-vaxxers, we just did a good job securing shots and informing people.¹

When a good chunk of your income is from tourism/hospitality it makes sense you'd push hard to get people vaccinated.²

Or have friends who work at the right companies.
countryg33k
Fuck. Meanwhile in Canada we are in the same boat as Germany. Fuck I'd drive a full day to get a vaccine right now.
OneLetter
If you show up late in the day most places will take walk ins if you ask. They only have so long to use doses, if people don’t show 1/2
OneLetter
2/2 they just go to waste. That’s how my whole family got theirs
noxseth
Same here in Romania. Cities have queues and 2-weeks waiting times, in rural areas you can schedule yourself tomorrow.
sunyudai
Yep, MO shipped more vaccines to some red counties than people actually lived in those counties, while shorting the blue counties.
lobsterslovebutter
So true. This is how my grandma got vaccinated in Southern GA - just drove to a town where no one wanted to be vaccinated.
Zefisherman
In ND we have walk ins at WALMART... you can get vaccinated at walmart
Jagerbeast
Yep... people from northern VA are driving south.... here in PA i had no problem getting one in coal country!
ghostofdragon
Lancaster is a different story, whooooooo boi. I got vaxxed in Luzerne a while ago, but my friends are having difficulty down home.
Trollydarollypolly
Not true. Almost anywhere in GA is taking same week appointments or walk ups.
BlacknCrimsonRose
You say not true, but GA is still heavily red despite getting us D Senate & president. MA I lucked into a walk in for J&J before the pause.
HappySweet
The Benz was taking walk ins now.
KeyHollo
We have drive thru here in Missouri
cricketHunter
Its super easy to get appointments in super blue St Louis
WesVTX
I live in Eastern Massachusetts... I had to pre-register and wait a month to get an appointment. Walk-ins are not a thing here.
maxdefault
In ga I drove almost 2 hours.
kenji0132
Arkansan here, got it at work for free, coworkers keep telling stories about how so-and-so got it and went blind, caught covid etc.
imnotthatblonde
figures, i know 2 definite hospitalisations but thats it
thething1984
Can confirm. Drove 45 minutes for each of mine.
MisleadingTLDRbutnotentirelywrongeither
Where am I in Florida there’s 4 places within 15 mins with no wait time to get it.
FatherNeal
Even if it's not rural, if it's a trump area walk ins are a thing. I live near metro SLC, UT and I'm getting my 2nd tomorrow. 28 yrs old.
BrowncoatFromNirn
Can confirm. Same day appointments in rural Kansas...
Narwhalzipan
Was worried I wouldn't be able to get my 2nd shot in time, then I started looking 45 min out of the city - no problem
BarryAllensSole
Omaha NE here - and we even have places for walk ins that have been popping up.
Rogahar
I live in Mass. Love this state but there's no appointments for miles around lol
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
As a person from Nebraska, this is a true statement. My wife was able to get one because the local pharmacy had extra.
archirat
Yepp. I am general populace but got my second shot yesterday because there is ZERO demand in this area. Christ, I wanna move.
mako925
Or live in a hippie area in the west; a different breed of anti-vaxxers there.
SnailMail1
They'll just drink lavender essential oil instead
NinjaGrizzlyBear
God my dad has cancer and a lady at the treatment center tried to convince me doterra works just as well as radiation...no words
RideTheStimutacs
It aligns your chakras, man.
afatrollofmyown
Yeah, don't do that, it'll kill you. Man.... I'm hippie as the next guy, but I get my vaccines. Lavender oil just for sniffing
CutChemist
I’m a 33 yo dude from Fl in Houston and I just drove up, without an appointment, in and out in 20 minutes, 15 being the allergy waiting part
Lackofcommonsense
I was going to say you’re out of line but I literally told my dad to look in trump county and they had listings begging for people to get it
Eldibs
Southern MO here, they were practically begging people to sign up when I got my second dose.
DorkJedi
This ain't a lie. walk-up vaccination, no wait.
JLB36602
Montana here, super easy to schedule appointment, in and out in like 30 minutes (15 of that was sitting afterward to check for reactions)
stabthecrab
Exactly what I did. 1/3 of the people in the store didn’t wear a mask and no one was saying a thing to them. My gf and I high fived after
Typhon2727
I see a new reality show here. Contestants load up dart guns and must hunt down anti-vaxers before the doses expire.
Effekwulsemmay
Can confirm. I live in a very red county in Arizona, home of Trumpstock, as far as I know, they are offering walk-ins 18+ the vaccine.
clucja1
Got mine in downtown Minneapolis yesterday. Parking wasn't even that bad. Maybe it had to do with all the humvees and police around.
moreofananonymousname
Nebraskan here, can confirm anyone over 16 in my state can get it
RowanUnderwood
Or drive across to your nearest blue state . . . ah what a country!
Bb032097
24 years old and got my pfizer vaccine last month in Sioux Falls South Dakota. You can call Walgreens the day before to get a morning apt.
HootSloot
Everyone over 16 is eligible in CO. You just have to get an appointment, I had to get a time slot 3 weeks out.
iTakeQuotesOutOfContext
Ah yes. That bastion of Republican politics, aka people that make Trump say ‘...ew.’
7Rhymes
Kentucky, it was easy for us to get an appointment with Walmart. Only waited a week. Then proceeded to pass out 2 minutes after the needle.
Halfeatenpeare
But Trump is taking credit for the vaccine? It's.. unlogical.
BrainTaffy
If you're having trouble finding an appointment in the US, http://findashot.org is an easy to use aggretator site.
MrNardtastic
Or just live in FL. Almost Fucking no one here getting one. Its like living with apes only more violent.
brakx
50% of Republicans don't want to get it... It's mind boggling
FabiosStallMucker
It's real easy to get an appointment in South Carolina.
creechville
Ya I had no problem getting double appointments for .e and my husband.
Unclemuscles09
Columbia person here. Drove up to Prosperity, didn't even get out of the car. Worth it.
Unclemuscles09
Anyone else have the worst 12 hrs later? Mine hit 24 hr after but disappeared randomly. I know some with no side effects at all. I'm jealous
Arbitrarynamehere
Got my Moderna very easily. No wait time at all.
Drakeous
At the time of writing this I got my 2nd shot and am waiting the 15 minute period after, fiancee works at the pharmacy but it was really 1/2
Drakeous
Easy to get my shot, didn't get out of car.
DillPixels
Yarp. Get my second Pfizer next Wednesday! Can’t wait!!
kepattRunner
Same! And not even hard to make an appointment!
Ynigmatyk
Yep my 2nd is coming up
sliveroflight
Yup. There aren't many advantages to living in Trumpistan but this is one of them.
DocWats
Cola checking in. Literally have interstate signs telling you where and when to go. One of the few things the state does right as an employe
RatBits
Yup. I'm a transplant from Connecticut by way of Chicago, and it still surprises me how grossly conservative people are here in SC. Lots...
RatBits
of anti-vaxxers and Trumpers.
RatBits
I mean, you hear about what it's like living in the South, but you need to experience it to really understand.
FabiosStallMucker
You should go to Central Florida or Texas. SC is California comparatively. From TX orginally and go to FL several times a year.
Winter23
There are trump flags up everywhere! Every-fuckin-where! I fuckin hate it!
OF37
Yeppppp, I drove 45 mins away from the city and got mine no problem

eadanke
Apparently some dickwad convinced a pile of morons that mRNA is the same thing as rDNA
BlacknCrimsonRose
Because GQP are telling them it's more dangerous than to get it. That they can get health issues, birth children with disabilities, etc >
BlacknCrimsonRose
Same stupid anti-vax shit that's been going on for years as part of misinformation regarding health care. And some are even being told it >
BlacknCrimsonRose
>costs money. Which was why we kept hearing reports of preventable deaths from CoVid. People thinking they need to pay and cant afford it.
AnneGwishZ
The people i know, family and friends, are apprehensive about the long term side effects. I'm worried about covid effects so I'm scheduled
afatrollofmyown
I'm concerned about long term effects, I got vioxx back in the day, and I was told it was "safe". I still got my vax, in the queue for 2
afatrollofmyown
It's possible to be worried, but get it anyway, and just "deal with it later" as Americans that's our MO
cjandstuff
The things I've been told include, it has 5G microchips in it. It's the Mark of the Beast. It's killing people and causing seizures. etc etc
RatBits
I had a coworker claim all of the above, AND that the government would be able to kill people remotely with the push of a button. -_-
twoblackhands
The government wouldn’t take jobs from the police like that.
cjandstuff
A general lack of education, combined with FOX news and Facebook do not make for logic.

RFID doesn't need power.
Avrune
I live in Texas, can't get an appt. Went to Arkansas and got J&J without an appointment shopping in a Krogers. 10/10.
stupidfaceshiba
This is true. I live in rural Texas. Walks ins are a thing at our local civic center. I got mine a month ago.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
How are the infection rates in TX with no masks anymore and so many anti-vaxx?
lordskiss
they have actually gone down due to a. more vaccinations b. most business still require mask c. the heat, more people outdooes
ludafisk
I drove an hour from Cedar Park to Bastrop, but had no wait at all.
ultravioletultraviolence
isn't this super wasteful of vaccines? Seeing as they're difficult to keep
insegrevious
Walk ins are a thing in highly populated areas of Texas as well.
ultravioletultraviolence
same question
Isatronium
Yeah, I went to my local pharmacy in Texas and asked to be on the leftover dose list. They call folks on that list when their doses...
Isatronium
are about to expire and you can come in to get your shot.
YouCanCallMeWilliam
I'd like one please, from a Danish guy.
IncognitoCube
I literally got my first shot at a CVS. In and out in under 20 minutes
Listeningtokpop
Yup getting mine today, it’s in the most sanitary location you can think of- the county fairgrounds.
Listeningtokpop
Fortunately hubby said it’s a massive line and they just have you roll down the window, jab you, and cya.
UrsulatheArtist
Today ANYONE can go. Just sign up and go.
OlderWiser
That doesn't fit the rhetoric. So, it's wrong.
clucja1
You can. Finding a place that has openings is a different story.
Fawin
Check around 12:30am. Usually they have openings. But they go quick.
clucja1
Im Good. I got my first one yesterday. There is a google doc I filled out and they scheduled within a day. My point is it's not always simpl
Fawin
Oh yeah, it takes a bit if work.
UrsulatheArtist
I just keep calling and waiting for them to tell me that someone canceled or missed their appointment then you get in and you get the shot
clucja1
I already got mine. I used a google doc. As long as you have time and willing to drive they can find you one. It's a lot easier.
MPinky
That's what happened to me. City, no ability to get a vax, drive 15 minutes out into the rural areas, literally walk in and ask bam.
NayaTaylor
I sat with one of my regulars today whose wife just passed from COVID. They believe now. This is not the way.
NautilusXCVI
I got mine before my age group was eligible. Let's go Ohio
kimmie71490
I’m 30, no health issues, and got my 2nd dose last week.
QueefBurglarSixtyNine
Mississippi man here. I’ve been waxed vaxxed, yet un-saxxed, for a month.
kimmie71490
I’ve been fully vaxxed for 4 days now. I’m in MS too
QueefBurglarSixtyNine
This is to say, where people worship trump, vaccine in excess.
Dondarian
Thank you SNL for letting me know about this vernacular
sordatos
They took away your sax?
mustardburp
Have you thought about an alternative approach to intimacy other than 69ing queefburgers? Might help...
alsoAzrael
.....you want I should come over and sax you?
QueefBurglarSixtyNine
Your profile says you’re a dude, so sry. No queefin, no thieving.
alsoAzrael
Hey, can't blame me for tryin'. :D
GandalfTheHay
alsoAzrael
That man saxs.
Colopty
Frankly I'm amazed you went from the worst country in the world at handling covid, to having the 7th highest vaccination rate. Nice recovery
bedframe
Elections have consequences. For once it's a good one.
Brhino
Amazing what you can do when you bring in a President who gives a shit.
SmellingMistake
*who isn't actively sabotaging any legitimate effort to combat the pandemic
theta1599
Masks and isolation are about protecting others. Vaccines are about protecting yourself. Easy to see why we are good at one and not both.
GrenadeIn
Ouch. You speak the truth but damn.
bedframe
Woof you're not wrong.
Cappinskullz
I was able to get one within 10 minutes online. Then I realized it was in Gary, IN. Cancelled that REAL quick
MasterChristopher
Were you hoping for Gary, Oaklahoma?
TheWhiteBarry
Brhino
Where are you? A lot of people I know are driving an hour+ to get an shot.
nero4ty2
could be close, but generally people try to avoid gary, high chance of getting shot while you go get your shot
doktorivan210
In Gary, IN, that would be driving to get shot, not get "a" shot.
bobquznie
Gary isn't that bad...
Cappinskullz
Yeah it is
bobquznie
Saw MJ's childhood home. Then got right the fuck outta there!
Randofitter7
Yup, I'm from a northern suburb of Dallas and drove about an hour and a half south for mine. Walked right in, done in 20 minutes. Worth it
Imalwaysready
I was initially using the HEB scheduler, set to show me ANY appointments, and for two weeks there were dozens of appointments open almost>
Imalwaysready
EVERY day in Odessa, and none in any blue counties or cities (or within an hour of them). But always so many Odessa openings taunted me.
insegrevious
You could have just stayed in Dallas and had the same experience though... the vaccines are plentiful almost everywhere.
Randofitter7
This was before it was officially opened up to all adults so maybe it's different now. Where did you get yours?
insegrevious
I live in Tarrant county, they said it was available for all, I signed up, got a text like 3 days later, got it an hour after that text.
insegrevious
Lady infront of me just showed up, she was a walk-in, she got the jab pretty much 1minute before I did.
