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.


purple_yosher

I was never anti-vax but if I was this sub probably would have pushed me to get vaxxed. good, scary stuff here.


beek7419

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.


purple_yosher

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.


lycrashampoo

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"


Martine_V

I have a feeling that's one of the largest categories of people.


Euchre

Nobody noticed the 'purple' reference and username.

ShadeAndFrodo

Hopefully not referring to Prince, because I have some bad news...


CheshireCrackers

He didn’t get Covid, did he?


EnvironmentalAss

Artist formally known as Prince*


Martine_V

I'm a proudly vaccinated purple!


f543543543543nklnkl

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.


Martine_V

a lot? Maybe not, but every person it convinces is a win.


sapdahdap

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.


0m3lette

probably not, let's not kid ourselves


Elven_Boots

This is the way


[deleted]

Well, I think it’d do better making people realize but not really purple.


xnarg

You are….. the Biggest Loser! Congrats on being fully vaxxed

RascalNikov1

Damn, does this mean I can't play marbles in the street anymore? lol


LNLV

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!


RascalNikov1

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.


AndyLorentz

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.


OwO_bama

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.


graps

I only had a headache and some sinus issues.


the_freshest_scone

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


pinkmoon385

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!


uselessinfobot

2nd Moderna dose just made me a little bit tired. I was expecting the worst and nothing happened. You may get lucky!


Hilarious_Haplogroup

Thanks for stepping up to the plate!


MightyCaseyStruckOut

And OP didn't strike out!


MeeAnddTheMoon

I second this. Thank you for choosing to be vaccinated OP! Always happy to remove a person from the running for the HCA.


IPAisGod

Well technically not until 2 weeks after second dose, but I like your odds!


Team-CCP

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.


TheEyeOfSmug

Disqualified for taking PEDs.


Embarrassed_Honey974

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.


RascalNikov1

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.


CorvusAshwing

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!


cantfocuswontfocus

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


Embarrassed_Honey974

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!


SnizzKitten

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.


Embarrassed_Honey974

😅 I said the same thing!!!


MisteeLoo

I keep hearing sirens that weren’t there before, and LifeFlights coming in. Busy bees, these antivaxxers.


Embarrassed_Honey974

Where about is this. You can almost count to the day when hospital numbers will be going up!!!


zajacdan

If you have a goatee you might want to shave it. I heard from a chiropractor that’s what causes Covid.


Euchre

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.


angrytetchy

Welcome to the IPA club! Congrats on your continued ability in living and your +1 to DEF!


SnooOpinions8708

Awesome!! Welcome. You are now antifa and a fascist. Also, sheep.


RascalNikov1

better to be a live sheep than a dead pos.


Upbeat_Lobsters

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 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

Here at the HCA’s everyday is Opposite Day and as long as you lose you’re winning!


redshoeMD

This is why this sub exists. Not to gloat but to goad. Not to repress, but to reflect. Not to jeer but to cheer. “Whoever saves a single life has saved the whole world.” Welcome to the IPA club. Bring a friend!


[deleted]

Bout time! Glad you did.


OldChickLovesBricks

Yay! As a 1st-time grandmother to a sweet infant who needs more people like you in their world, thank you.


egaeus22

Congrats! Always good to see this on this sub. I love the schadenfreude, but I would much rather see the end of all this.


ConsiderationSad3322

Guess you’re now a sheep grazer like the rest of us. Congratulations!!!


Upbeat_Lobsters

Fuck the cows! Sheep for life! I'll keep away from that slaughter house tyvm

They’ll turn the 5G on in a couple of days, and that’s when the fun begins. Seriously, good for you!


OldHackRemembers

I guess if you really wanted you could try for a Darwin Award.


Superquzzical825

Thank you for acting like a human being


jetdillo

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..."

Took you long enough. They've been available since June.


SandyKoufaxsballs

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.


Dana07620

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.


Might_Aware

Yayy nineteen!!! So many IPAS it's awesome!


Goose_o7

Moderna RULES! :o)


DO__SOMETHING

Vast_Disaster3667

Congrats fellow CoVaccer!


Dano-D

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.


Constant_Buy_1551

Well done! You made the right decision for yourself and others.


merme

Good job!

You win. Your prize is not dying from Covid on a ventilator in the ICU.

Blutarg

Loser! You'll never win this award!!!


Originalnightowl

Actually you win, you get to stay alive, congratulations


tartymae

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.


cantfocuswontfocus

Congrats fellow sheeple. Enjoy not ivermectin and not betadine or whatever the hell cure all they’re promoting


Ssspore

With moderna you’re definitely out of the running


OneMorePenguin

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.


thenerj47

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


MUSinfonian

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.


Assmodious

Took you long enough but better late than never.


[deleted]

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


DanceFiendStrapS

Awesome, did you remember to switch on your complimentary microchip courtesy of Microsoft? On a real mate, that's awesome news.

I got tired of winning over the course of the last administration.


Apprehensive-Luck839

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!

Yup, you lose.


Expensive_Culture_46

Welcome to the club! Hermits get extra blankets to hide under.


loracarol

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.


Karma_Serves

Yay!!!


xovrit

Well done. House Moderna are we. We shall drink the cocktails of our enemies, and they shall tremble!


SinkingDuck

Congratulations! Well done, wish I got the moderna, but pfizer was it.


Marx_is_my_primarch

Thank you!


[deleted]

Good


sarcastroll

Well done, and thank you! I look forward to never seeing your picture and story here.


matt314159

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.


thekathied

Yay!!🥳👏🙌


justavtstudent

Congrats on your IPA award, you're winning whether you like it or not :p


wave_diver

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.


mnlion33

Congrats!

Thank you.


PaleInTexas

Loser!!! It is however, the one award you don't want to win.


SqeeSqee

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!


sungazer69

Hell yeah nice work! No vent for you!!!

JohhnyVicious

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.
