Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I signed up online for the appointment, but when I got there the head pharmacist on duty said I was too healthy to be immunized. honk-enraged

I was so mad I walked out and didn't even get my flu shot. I'll go somewhere else for that I guess.

Go to hell, RFK Jr.

~~It's funny because the online questionnaire said I would be ineligible for the COVID vaccine if I had any health conditions. Then when I show up for the appointment they tell me the exact opposite.~~ Never mind, I misread the questionnaire; it says patients who do not have any of the listed conditions are ineligible.

I misread it because my understanding is that, typically, chronic conditions disqualify you for a vaccine, because healthy people are least likely to have a negative reaction to a vaccine and most likely to have a positive immune response. AFAIK the only reason for a healthy person not to be vaccinated is if they're not at risk for contracting the disease (e.g. smallpox).

If I had read it correctly, I would have been prepared to do the dance and lie.
