We're All Going to Die

Just had my first "not vaccinated rejection" an hour ago. I went to a local improv performance last night and they said anyone interested can attend their open house 'tomorrow night' (aka today). So I went. They took everyone's temp and asked if vax'd. I said no. About 10-15 minutes later, someone pulled me aside and said the school they are holding their open house in requires everyone who shows up to be vax'd, and asked me to leave. That would have been a good thing to mention at the show when you invited everyone. I did, however, see (after getting da boot) that they put it in the fine print of the Facebook event page that vax was mandatory so 50% shame on me as well. Oh well. I did get my tetanus vax two days ago and that went well, so I'll be getting the Covd vax pretty soon anyway, now that my medical concerns have been addressed with my doc.
 
They should have been much more open about the vax requirement.
There are some events in the area that they flat out say they are for the vaxed only.

With the Delta taking hold, I'm glad that you're comfortable getting jabbed now.
I met a couple of friends after work today that I haven't seen in almost 2 years.
 
This is interesting. I knew the shots were something like 90% effective but I never looked into breaking down the stats before.

The most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show that 10,262 of at least 133 million Americans who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 later contracted the disease.

This translates to 0.00716% of people who have completed their vaccine series have gone on to test positive.

It also represents the true odds of getting COVID-19 after full vaccination: less than 0.01%.

I got that from this article:

Joe Biden now claims that 'Facebook ISN'T killing people'

Biden reversed by saying Facebook 'isn't killing people', told Zuckerberg to not 'take it personally' and do something to stop the spread of misinformation about the coronavirus vaccine on the platform.

You have to scroll down a bit to the text block that's titled: How Likely Are You To Get Covid 19 After Being Fully Vaccinated
 
"Will you die of COVID-19? Will I see you in heaven?
Will you think I'm mean – if I see you in heaven?
I don't know the answer.
But I'm an anti-vaxxer.
I won't play a concert. I simply will not,
If you're told you have to have a COVID shot.
See you in heaven!"

I'm still with Carlin on this one

White people got no business playin' the blues ever... What the fuck do white people have to be blue about? Banana Republic ran out of khakis? Huh? The espresso machine is jammed? ... Shit, white people ought to understand their job is to give people the blues, not to get them.

What's a "wog"?

I wondered that too when I was reading the article. There's no definitive answer (that I could find anyway). It seems different areas of the world have different meanings and some areas have different meanings over different spans of time. Some places it started out fine and became offensive. Other places it started out offensive and became fine. It was confusing.
 
Merriam-Webster says "wog" is "chiefly British, offensive – used as an insulting and contemptuous term for a dark-skinned foreigner and especially for one from the Middle East or Far East." The word dates from 1929 and is a shortened form of "golliwog," a doll characterized by black skin, white rimmed eyes, red lips and frizzy hair. The golliwog, originally spelled "golliwogg," first appeared in 1895 in the children's book The Adventures Of Two Dutch Dolls & A Golliwogg. And now, allow me to paraphrase Eric Clapton:

"Lay down, Sally. Won't you rest here in my arms?
With the lights off, you don't look like such a dog.
Lay down, Sally. I'm enchanted by your charms.
With the lights off, I can't tell that you're a wog."
