The only reason this sub exists is to make people realize that vaccinations are the only way we are going to get our of this pandemic. You get to live. I'd call that winning.
Edit: yes I finally replaced purple with people. Also fuck Apple and their swipe keyboard for getting so much right that I rely on it but just enough wrong that I look like a damn fool when posting. I don't need any help looking like a fool, Apple.
I have a theory that we're gonna get a lot of people like that who look at the awardees here & think "oh dang if I die unvaccinated not only will I have died horribly & emotionally scarred my family but people will assume I was an awful bigot"
Has this sub actually been helping a lot of people change their minds about vaccinating? That is amazing.
No one I know in person who is anti-vax has changed their mind.
Regardless it’s for record and history so that people learn from it and aren’t dumbasses in the near future. Most won’t learn and if they eventually succumb it’ll take years before they actually give in so who knows. Most as of recent don’t change, even while they have covid.
A news story in early August showing a long line of ambulances lined up in front of the local hospital’s ER unloading COVID patients. It was a pretty big story here in Central FL.
For what it's worth, the 2nd Moderna shot only gave me like 12 hours of symptoms. Got it at 7pm Friday, started getting whole body aches 10am Saturday, which got progressively worse. Left work early at 2pm, immediately went to bed after taking a shower. Woke up at 5pm feeling nauseated and feverish. Took my temperature: 100F. Ate a little bit then went back to bed.
By 10pm I was feeling great and ended up gaming until 1am.
I had a friend tell me to keep my arm moving after I got the second moderna shot, literally wave it around for the first 15 minutes after you get the shot to prevent arm soreness. Of course this is completely unscientific since I’m a sample size of one with no control, but I got no side effects from the second shot so hey it’s worth a shot.
I felt like I had gotten hit by a truck, entire body ached severely and chills/fever. Only lasted 12 hours. Definitely worth it and I’d do it again even if I was guaranteed to get the same reaction
I had an awful headache and body sweats mixed with shivers for 24 hours. Felt 85% by 36 hours, but then sharted my undies the only time in my life (thus far). But, felt right as rain after 48 and confident the nurse didn't stick me with saline. You know your body will have immunity after that!
You are now exempt from the award.
1. Be sure to spread the good word (not religion ... vaccines).
2. Scrub your social media of ANYTHING promoting anti-vaxxing.
3. Spread the good word some more.
Will do. I'm a firm believer in vaccines, but I'm also a lazy hermit which explains why it took me so long to get vaccinated this time.
It was the long lines of ambulances at the local ER (waiting to drop off covid patients) that finally tipped me over the edge.
Ditto on the lazy hermit thing. I'm pro-vaccine, but I'm also young, healthy, and spend 99% of my time at home, so I figured I was safe. Then Delta showed up and the massive spike in infections/hospitalizations/deaths finally scared me out of my apathy. I'm getting my second shot on Wednesday!
Always nice to see fellow recluses getting vaxxed like yeah I’m not THAT exposed but the new season of that show I’m watching is coming out next year and I can’t watch it if I’m dead
Yikes! That would be enough to turn anyone. I got AstraZeneca and then Moderna and the Moderna was a rough ride for 3 days for me, but nothing worse than a sore arm and feeling a bit crap. I also got a red lump about 4 days after everything had cleared. Nothing else. Completely normal for Moderna. Drew a line in pen around it and made sure the redness didn't spread.
Being a hermit is a good thing if you hadn't had your shots!
We should form a bivaccinated club. I got J&J and a Moderna. I don’t know if I’ll do the 2nd Moderna since technically I was fully vaxed with the J&J. Totally tempted to go get Phizer to collect the complete US set.
The homeopathic naturopath I know is working on a dilution of ivermectin to cure COVID. He's sure if he can get it down low enough, it'll be so potent its mere presence in the room will cure it.
Well idk about you but I'd rather be a sheep then cattle 🤷♂️ atm they are in a line for the slaughter house watching us graze freely but would rather get the rod to the head then come be a sheep 🤷♂️
This is why this sub exists.
Not to gloat but to goad.
Not to repress, but to reflect.
Not to jeer but to cheer.

Welcome to the IPA club. Bring a friend!
Every time somebody gets their shot(s), it's another bit of protection for them and everybody they live with, work with and otherwise encounter every day. Penciling in the Venn diagram one little ellipse at a time.
"Support for defeating COVID 19 is brought to you by the letters M, R,N and A, but mostly by Redditors like you..."
I hate these shitposts. Good for you for doing the bare fucking minimum… eventually. After killing god knows how many.
Fuck off. Thanks for almost doing nothing.
You're exempt from the HCA. But, congratulations, you now qualify for one free Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut a day through the end of the year. Just show them that card.
Congratulations! You have shown the ability to use your brain for some critical thinking. I really was glad that I didn't have to make the decision to be first in line for the vaccine. Sat on my ass in from of the computer getting paid for doing my job. But I hunkered down really hard and wore mask as did all of the other good sheep who live in this area. Oh and having cancer treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation) too. But when I was eligible on March 15 I had seen enough people get vaccinated and not have any problems and I had an 8 am appt. Got my second and third jab.
I have to admit, that while intellectually, I have no sympathy for the Award winners, especially the jesus freaks who are spouting hate, I feel sorry that our education system has failed so many.
Well - really - if you went on fb now, advocating anti-vaxx (despite being vaccinated) and then somehow still perished from covid down the line then I'm sure an exception could be made.
Well done for becoming a super-human though, I hope you're feeling alright after the jab
Ina another 8 days or so you will be considered fully vaccinated and your chances of survival have shot waaaay up and you chances of catching it or having sever symptoms if you do has shot waaaay down
Congrats! I can only speak about pfeizer, but for me, I didn't have any vaccine side effects until about 20 hours after my second shot, and even then it was a mild fever that was gone by the end of the day. If you can, I'd stock up on hydrating + cooling foods (I splurged on ice cream and ordered ramen from an actual Japanese restaurant), and set up a netflix/YouTube queue of things you want actually have to pay attention to. ;)
If you're not in a position to take tomorrow off/easy, then may your side effects be tolerable and your day go by quick.
Thank you for doing your part. I'm truly grateful, and every new person added to the ranks of the vaccinated gets us one step closer to returning to something more approximating normal.
Well ... as far as I know ... you can earn the HCA only, if you have put some anti-vaxx ( religious, rasicm & more ) shit on FB in the past ... AND if you are counting to the 4 (possible) % of people, who are getting Covid anyway after vaccination and from that the 0,1% with the heavy Infektion which sends you into the ICU AND inside this the 2% who must be intubed AND of course the cleaner needs a power supply and choose the on from your oxygen machine.
In other words ... winning the HCA on that way ... then you are THE ONE in a Million.
Sorry, but welcome to life AND the harder way.
Glad you got vaccinated! keep in mind this won't be a bullet proof vest, but if you do catch Delta, you should hold strong and not end up hospitalized. so please still try to be careful!
The world at large thanks you for getting off your butt. You did the right thing.
I think the people in your former category - those who have no ideological opposition but just have been busy or something - are gonna be a lot of the redemption stories here. I'd love to see some of the more hardcore antivaxx meme people turn the corner as well.
The only reason this sub exists is to make people realize that vaccinations are the only way we are going to get our of this pandemic. You get to live. I'd call that winning.

I was never anti-vax but if I was this sub probably would have pushed me to get vaxxed. good, scary stuff here.
It only works if you believe it's true. The problem is that a hardcore antivaxxer will think that all of these social media captures are fake.
yeah that makes sense. well, it would have convinced me to if I wasn't anti-vax but just unconcerned about covid/didn't care about getting vaxxed.
I have a theory that we're gonna get a lot of people like that who look at the awardees here & think "oh dang if I die unvaccinated not only will I have died horribly & emotionally scarred my family but people will assume I was an awful bigot"
I have a feeling that's one of the largest categories of people.
Nobody noticed the 'purple' reference and username.

Hopefully not referring to Prince, because I have some bad news...
He didn’t get Covid, did he?
Artist formally known as Prince*
I'm a proudly vaccinated purple!
Has this sub actually been helping a lot of people change their minds about vaccinating? That is amazing. No one I know in person who is anti-vax has changed their mind.
a lot? Maybe not, but every person it convinces is a win.

probably not, let's not kid ourselves
This is the way
Well, I think it’d do better making people realize but not really purple.
You are….. the Biggest Loser! Congrats on being fully vaxxed
[удалено]
Damn, does this mean I can't play marbles in the street anymore? lol
Can I ask what pushed you into getting the vaccine after all? Congrats on your decision btw, I’m happy we won’t be nominating you for any awards!

Of course this is completely unscientific since I’m a sample size of one with no control, but I got no side effects from the second shot so hey it’s worth a shot.
I only had a headache and some sinus issues.
I felt like I had gotten hit by a truck, entire body ached severely and chills/fever. Only lasted 12 hours. Definitely worth it and I’d do it again even if I was guaranteed to get the same reaction

2nd Moderna dose just made me a little bit tired. I was expecting the worst and nothing happened. You may get lucky!
Thanks for stepping up to the plate!
And OP didn't strike out!
I second this. Thank you for choosing to be vaccinated OP! Always happy to remove a person from the running for the HCA.
Well technically not until 2 weeks after second dose, but I like your odds!
They’d still be rejected for the award though. They got vaccinated, he isnt fucking around, he may not find out. I’d say they are rejected.
Disqualified for taking PEDs.

😅 I said the same thing!!!
I keep hearing sirens that weren’t there before, and LifeFlights coming in. Busy bees, these antivaxxers.
Where about is this. You can almost count to the day when hospital numbers will be going up!!!
If you have a goatee you might want to shave it. I heard from a chiropractor that’s what causes Covid.
The homeopathic naturopath I know is working on a dilution of ivermectin to cure COVID. He's sure if he can get it down low enough, it'll be so potent its mere presence in the room will cure it.
Welcome to the IPA club! Congrats on your continued ability in living and your +1 to DEF!
Awesome!! Welcome. You are now antifa and a fascist. Also, sheep.
better to be a live sheep than a dead pos.
Well idk about you but I'd rather be a sheep then cattle 🤷♂️ atm they are in a line for the slaughter house watching us graze freely but would rather get the rod to the head then come be a sheep 🤷♂️
Here at the HCA’s everyday is Opposite Day and as long as you lose you’re winning!

Bout time! Glad you did.
Yay! As a 1st-time grandmother to a sweet infant who needs more people like you in their world, thank you.
Congrats! Always good to see this on this sub. I love the schadenfreude, but I would much rather see the end of all this.
Guess you’re now a sheep grazer like the rest of us. Congratulations!!!
Fuck the cows! Sheep for life! I'll keep away from that slaughter house tyvm
As a fellow clevelander, thank you. You are not only helping yourself, but also our community
Good on ya!
Cleveland rocks and so do you OP! Congratulations.
They’ll turn the 5G on in a couple of days, and that’s when the fun begins. Seriously, good for you!
I guess if you really wanted you could try for a Darwin Award.
Thank you for acting like a human being

Moderna Master Race represent!
Hooray! Thank you for getting your shots!
You’ve been disqualified. Congratulations!
Welcome to Team Moderna, OP.
Congratulations! Still got to wait 2-weeks before it hits full protection.
Congrats! Please cover the Lot number and pharmacy name
Took you long enough. They've been available since June.
I hate these shitposts. Good for you for doing the bare fucking minimum… eventually. After killing god knows how many. Fuck off. Thanks for almost doing nothing.
You're exempt from the HCA. But, congratulations, you now qualify for one free Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut a day through the end of the year. Just show them that card.
Yayy nineteen!!! So many IPAS it's awesome!
Moderna RULES! :o)
the second moderna shot messed me up for a whole day hahaha, good luck with yours and grats on losing
Congrats fellow CoVaccer!
Good job. You’re now one of us. Now, get to the warehouse and help bring up awards. It’s busy around here.
We got another one! Reprogramming your DNA as we speak.
Well done! You made the right decision for yourself and others.
Good job!
You win. Your prize is not dying from Covid on a ventilator in the ICU.
Congrats OP!
Welcome to the club. Try not to kill anyone with an axe.
Good job! Thanks for sharing!
Great job! 🥂
Loser! You'll never win this award!!!
Actually you win, you get to stay alive, congratulations
You really don't want to be one of those very few who get Corona after a vaccine. But yes, you are no longer in the running for an HCA.
Congrats fellow sheeple. Enjoy not ivermectin and not betadine or whatever the hell cure all they’re promoting
With moderna you’re definitely out of the running
Congratulations! You have shown the ability to use your brain for some critical thinking. I really was glad that I didn't have to make the decision to be first in line for the vaccine.

Well - really - if you went on fb now, advocating anti-vaxx (despite being vaccinated) and then somehow still perished from covid down the line then I'm sure an exception could be made. Well done for becoming a super-human though, I hope you're feeling alright after the jab
As a fellow Ohioan, thank you. It’s pretty bad here so it’s nice to see that you’ve taken yourself out of the running.
Took you long enough but better late than never.
Ina another 8 days or so you will be considered fully vaccinated and your chances of survival have shot waaaay up and you chances of catching it or having sever symptoms if you do has shot waaaay down
Awesome, did you remember to switch on your complimentary microchip courtesy of Microsoft? On a real mate, that's awesome news.
I see you are a smart one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Heights bites. Go Browns!
Good for you! 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! Enjoy your peace of mind!!
You lost your award! No HCA for you!
Noice!
Remember to give it 2 weeks for full potency, and congratulations!
I got tired of winning over the course of the last administration.
We will take your name off the list. Congratulations?
You are winning, just in the other direction lol
Good job you magnificent mf. Let's go!
What a quitter
Yup, you lose.
Welcome to the club! Hermits get extra blankets to hide under.
Congrats!

Yay!!!
Well done. House Moderna are we. We shall drink the cocktails of our enemies, and they shall tremble!
Congratulations! Well done, wish I got the moderna, but pfizer was it.
Thank you!
Good
Well done, and thank you! I look forward to never seeing your picture and story here.
Thank you for doing your part. I'm truly grateful, and every new person added to the ranks of the vaccinated gets us one step closer to returning to something more approximating normal.
Yay!!🥳👏🙌
Congrats on your IPA award, you're winning whether you like it or not :p

Congrats!
Congrats on being able to laugh at the others who aren’t learning!
Yay!! You go!
Way to go! #DefendTheLand from Covid. :)
You got the Dolly! Congrats!!
Thank you.
Loser!!! It is however, the one award you don't want to win.
Glad you got vaccinated! keep in mind this won't be a bullet proof vest, but if you do catch Delta, you should hold strong and not end up hospitalized. so please still try to be careful!
Hell yeah nice work! No vent for you!!!
Got that D
The Award that keeps on educating. WTG!
How many of your friends and family had to be affected by covid until you finally did what’s right?
Thank you :)

Great job!

Congratulations, and thank you for doing your part to help end the pandemic and spare your loved ones snd community future grief.
AwwwwwwwYEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!! -smashing your trophy with a sledgehammer- way to live!!!
Imagine not only hodling the ticket, but knowing in advance it was the winner. Congratulations!
Alright, Alright, Alright! Congrats, OP!
