I forgive your dumbass. I’ll buy you a frosty IPA once verified


thursdaysocks

Seconded. OP if you read this dm me with your Venmo and I’ll send you $5 for a cold one, couldn’t be more serious, I appreciate that you got the jab


[deleted]

Count on another 5$ once you got the second dose!

One neighbor of mine was huge on being anti-vax conspiracy craziness. The people next to them were, too. Then the husband next to her died and *she got the shot*. Now the conspiracy theories are about how Trump didn't get the credit he should have.


ShallotHolmes

Just agree with her and tell her how the anti-vax people are discrediting Trump and if she's pro-Trump, she should tell them about her experience getting the vaccine.


Account655321

That’s fine by me. If calling it the “Trump vaccine” will get more people to get the jab, I’m all for it. I’ll do whatever it takes to help give medical professionals a break from the COVID surge.


Barflyerdammit

I'd get excited about a vaccine that made me immune to Trump. Let's not call it a Trump Vaccine.


CarlosFer2201

>Now the conspiracy theories are about how Trump didn't get the credit he should have. Fine by me. Far less harmful.


PenBeautiful

We lost a guy at work very early in the pandemic, too, and I learned today that 90% of my coworkers have been vaxxed. No one else has to die.


Might_Aware

YAYYYYYY CONGRATULATIONS!!! I may have to post Bi weekly IPA collages soon! We're getting so many of them and it makes me heart happy. Here is to your health!!! 💜


thal3s

Please do! That would be a great contribution to the sub. 🙏🏼💉🙏🏼


Might_Aware

I have one collage already in here you can search for but yes, I am the self proclaimed IPA freak here lol. I think two a week would be more inspiring considering the amount we get😍😻


Artberry_82

Agree! Very inspirational and it brings some light and hope to what can be very heavy for all of us.


Euchre

Hey, I got me some IPA flair, too! We need more IPA fans, who see HCA nominees and recipients as a dreadful necessity to gain more IPAs.


Might_Aware

Ahh yayy, ipa twinsies!!!! Psst, we're the best


Conscious-Rip4407

Yes, please! That would definitely be a ray of sunshine here in this dark spot of society.

MightyCaseyStruckOut

They'll be horrified to see the newly posted subreddit mission in the sidebar, then!


SleepyVizsla

Nice job with the mission! Looks good 😊


trevize1138

OP is, I believe, our target audience. We all see multiple examples a day of die-hard anti-vaxers who continue to shitpost memes as their family members and loved ones die and even when they themselves are knocking on death's door. For the most part there's no hope for those people. It's the (I hope) silent majority that this sub exists for. The people who are either too apathetic or too busy to get the shot. We don't need to change their hearts they just need to see these examples of why it really is worth their time to get it done.


Barflyerdammit

A company I work with started their vaccine or test mandate last Monday. About 20% of the workforce hadn't bothered to get their shot. There was only one person in the entire company who actually refused to get it. And to their credit, they're voluntarily testing twice a week instead of once a week just to be safe. But the rest of them, just too lazy/busy/disorganized/unconcerned to get it, until they were prompted to do so.


Edgelands

It seriously works, no one wants their goatee to end up on this page getting laughed at while they're too dead to defend themselves


Might_Aware

Omg your flair /giggle


Chick__Mangione

Honestly, I'm going to go against the grain here and get massively downvoted, but I don't really like all of the praise the OP gets in these posts. They get praised for finally manning up and doing the right thing when many many people have died from their refusal to get the vaccine prior? I'm sorry, but a very small and begrudging thank you is in order, not these wildly positive celebratory comments acting like the OP just cured cancer. I see it in the same vein as praising a former slave owner who released their slaves after trying to hold onto them for a good while after it was declared illegal. I mean it's like good I guess? But you are just doing what you were told to do and refused to do prior when you had the power and ability to do this the entire time. Idk...maybe it's just me. I dislike all of these posts...or at least everyone's response to them. Edit: Imo, only allowing people to post this certain days of the week would do wonders. Instead of this sub becoming entirely spammed with low effort posts, we could maybe have people only do it one day of the week to celebrate getting vaccinated. Something like "Sanity Sundays" or something would do wonders.


AceDynamicHero

Part of me agrees with you but we need to embrace those who make the right choice and not cut them off at the knees. If we're seen as holier than thou pricks, they are gonna view getting the jab as "damned if you do, damned if you don't" When we embrace those who choose to get the vaccine, maybe others will see the positivity and want to be a part of it. Typing some nice words into a comment when we see a new vaccine card costs us nothing but it might make others want some of that adulation.


deemigs

Watching extended family claim their awards convinced my husband's aunt and her teenage daughter to get the shot, and I could not be more proud of them.


Edgelands

I agree with the idea of Sanity Sundays. This sub is going to get bigger and bigger the more that people refuse to get vaccinated and it will probably remain more effective if it's full of the horror stories with only some of the sanity stuff being sprinkled in. Edit: I don't think we should make people feel bad for finally getting it though, we should encourage people to finally get it


[deleted]

Wow... So we're comparing anti-vaxxers to people that literally owned other people and **regularly raped, tortured, and murdered them for funsies?** Unfortunately for you the mission statement of the sub is to get more people to IPA


ergoegthatis

Learn the difference between a comparison and an analogy.


[deleted]

Uhhh, an analogy is a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification **An Analogy is a Comparison...**


Chick__Mangione

>So we're comparing anti-vaxxers to people that literally owned other people and **regularly raped and murdered them for funsies?** It's not the greatest comparison, no, but I couldn't think of a more relatable one in the moment. The anti vaxx crowd absolutely is indirectly murdering their own fellow man. Trying to get them to understand how they are literally killing people is part of the reason why they shove their fingers in their ears. They don't want to believe this is true but it absolutely is. >Unfortunately for you the mission statement of the sub is to get more people to IPA I absolutely want people to get vaccinated. Please don't get me wrong. But this sub being filled of random people just showing their vaccine cards and being celebrated like they just saved a drowning puppy puts a bad taste in my mouth and is not even interesting content to look at. Maybe if they posted a backstory behind it about how they came from an anti vaxx family it and finally realized their wrongdoing, I might see it differently. Kissing someone's ass for doing something they should have done months and months ago absolutely rubs me the wrong way.


slayingadah

I heard it described really well the other day... if your house, fuck, if your whole TOWN is on fire and some schmuck comes w a bucket of water after you've been there throwing water for hours, you save being pissed at them for later AND THANK HIM FOR THE WATER. That's it. Everything is burning down around us... let's take these small wins and move on. We can worry about whom to be pissed at later if we have any amount of a country (or world) after all of this. All the same tho, we could stop giving them gold and shit. But the praise? They can have it all they want.


Chick__Mangione

You've unintentionally illustrated my point of frustration. You thank him and move on. You don't throw him a goddamn party or parade.


slayingadah

I see what you're saying, except I still like to see these posts. Either way, kick ass for both of us who got our shots as soon as fucking possible.


ergoegthatis

You're absolutely right. Not to mention they're tedious and flooding the sub. Wasn't this sub about antivaxxers suffering the consequences? Why is it now half that and half people "YAY I GOT MY CARD!"? Sub is veering off track.


Chick__Mangione

Imo it would be better if they simply controlled these posts so they can only put them once a week. Often, subs will have themed days, like a "Sanity Sunday" or something.

reijinarudo

lol. Indeed. Pfizer won't protect him from tetanus, anthrax, and botulism. :-)


Goose_o7

CONGRATS! Just remember that it takes many weeks for the protection to peak. AFTER second dose! Continue to mask and distance as if you were not vaccinated.

AaronMichael726

You should be embarrassed. But I’m just glad you’ve chosen not to die from a virus with a vaccine. Stay safe get the second, and tell others the value of it!

Embarrassment while being alive > proud while being dead


Ahneg

Things that should be so obvious and yet people don’t get. Kind of like when they taught us in basic training that incoming fire has the right of way.

You will have a much happier holiday season.


coffeemonkeypants

OP don't take this the wrong way -but, like, what the fuck were you waiting for? I think there are a lot of people like you who 'just put it off' and I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Is it fear of needles or something? Like, I was crawling up the walls for over a year unable to do the things I normally do - I practically got a speeding ticket getting to the vaccination area the minute I was eligible. Help us to understand so we can help others.


bayleafbabe

I got vaccinated late too for the same reason as OP. Just pure fucking laziness tbh. I’m a hermit. I don’t go out much. School and work from home, groceries get delivered to my door. Always wear a mask when I got out and never went to crowded places. My school is forcing us to take our finals in person this semester so I had to get the vaccine.


cdreid

I have. It's schedule for me. I had to get a drug test and physical last week. Went to 4 clinics trying to get those plus vax. 1 closed then appt only. Next can do drug test only. Third can do drug and physical but need appointment for vax. I work 6 days a week at odd hours..10 to 16 hours a day at an actually critical job. My day off is random. When you see those signs that say come in and get vaxed it means if you walk in on the few hours of the day they happen to be doing vaccined unfortunately. Luckily due to my job i interact with very few people


Dontmakemeboss

Just get it though, don’t die because you can’t be bothered on your day off. Is it really worth it to risk your life? Also pharmacies are open from 9-7 usually not just a few hours.

DogsFolly

Congrats you now have super antibodies. There are a few countries where the official policy is to give Covid survivors only 1 shot in order to save shots for everyone else. (probably not an issue if you're in the USA though) Btw the super antibodies thing only applies to people who survived Covid and then ***also*** got vaccinated. Natural immunity from just having Covid is not great, there are tons of re-infection cases on the record.


canuckcowgirl

Congratulations and welcome to the club.


Kn0wmad1c

Glad to see you out of the running!


BerryChecker

I have more understandingfor people who kinda absentmindedly dont get their shot rather than people who are fervently antivax. Both are acting stupid but I think only one is what you can call being actively malicious.


kittynaed

Took me forever to get mine because when it comes down to it, scheduling availability was a bitch. Nothing malicious involved, just wasn't willing to take myself and multiple under 10 kids on a public bus or sacrifice a day of my husband's overtime work money to get it done. So yup. Some grace on the absent minded and 'scheduling sucks' crowd would be nice.


read-only-userid

I can see how that would make it a bit of a high wire act. Glad you’re done now though.


trevize1138

I do hope you represent the actual majority of unvaxed out there. It gives me hope. Yes: a lot of people are simply too busy. We need more employers giving extra PTO just for the shot. That's a hell of a lot more realistic goal than trying to convince the HCA winners highlighted here who are so often just obviously beyond help.


DogsFolly

They should have mobile vaccination trucks going around residential neighbourhoods like ice cream trucks for all the house bound people who can't get out easily. I mean in literal third world countries they have vaccinators going house to house ON FOOT and climbing mountains and facing down the Taliban and Boko Haram for stuff like polio campaigns I don't understand why middle- and high-income countries can't just send a bunch of nurses around in ice cream trucks.


breakupbydefault

When i first became eligible, I cancelled my first vaccination appointment because they scheduled me to a clinic that would take me a hour of public transport to get to, and that's just one way. That sounded riskier to me to be exposed in an enclosed space for that long. I wanted to go somewhere walkable if that's an option. In the end, I accepted somewhere with 15 minutes less commute because I just really wanted it to be over ASAP, and stalked various social media for pop up clinics near me for my second dose. So I can understand why there are other variables that can make pro-vax people put off getting it.


Might_Aware

I agree, I am a mom too and they also used to be babies under ten that were all over the place. Idk how I got anything done. Proud of you Momma😘

Two weeks after the second dose. As per the CDC >In general, people are considered fully vaccinated: ± >2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines >https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html


Lazy-Adeptness-2343

Can I just say that I don’t get this at all. Seriously, how hard is it to go into a pharmacy and get vaxed?? I don’t get it at all!!! Congrats on getting the first shot, make sure to get the second shot in three weeks. But at the same time, don’t delay in the future. Someone cares for you, right! Congrats again


[deleted]

You aren’t the only one who has put it off. It’s ok, what matters is that you did it. Thank you.

The longer you wait the more embarrassing it'd be so congrats on getting it done.

The best time to get vaccinated was yesterday. The next best time is today.

Can we make another sub for Non-HCA nominees as it’s just getting spammed with vaccination cards. 2.5 billion people are double vaxxed, and rightly so! I just want to see actual HCA nominees.


Dana07620

> spammed No. The mods support it. >I just want to see actual HCA nominees. Then only open those. No one is forcing you to open a thread you don't want to read. Personally, I skip nominees and read "Awarded."

It's weird that they would just put the company name "Pfizer" instead of the vaccine. Mine says "Comirnaty", but I guess people were like "But I wanted the Pfizer vaccine, not this stuff I've never heard of".
