Most hospitals in the DFW area are at capacity.

I would put pressure on the hospital and do your own research and have them transported. How much oxygen are they on?

Some chip bragging happening in the CoronaBros thread in the pit.  I'm completing my Moderna chip next week. Will keep you updated.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anyone on the board has been pushing olds out of the way.

No idea on the amount of oxygen.  He just go home and he went to bed.  As nobody is allowed at the hospital, info is being told to us from a grumpy, stubborn, 78 year old man who doesn't want to be in the hospital.   His doctor is supposed to call my wife later today.

I think the point is, if you have access to one (and not a front line worker) and you're in your 40's or younger, with good health and you're checking in to brag about your vaccine shot, it's a super doucher move and you don't care about others like you try and proclaim you do.

I don't judge people who already have a vaccine. I would get one today if I had the option to.

I have heard from a+ sources that there are locations in the kc metro that will jab you out of order, no questions asked.

Personally I think it's unethical.

It's not unethical to want to be healthy.

essentially they just ask "do you have any comorbidities" and if you say yes, you get chipped.  no ID check, no background, etc.  and yeah, that's ethically wrong.

I do find it super impressive, that the same people who were screaming at people to stay home, for the safety of others, moral high ground, It's not about you, it's about saving others, etc. Are some of the same people that have no shame in jumping in front of the line for the vaccine, so they can go back on vacations again and get back on with their lives. :lol: Literally giving two shits less about the people who really need it. #Ironic

Sorry, it's true tho. Not having access to the pit, means I bring a little bit of it up here from time to time and i'm just astonished with some of the ppl who are guilt free with jumping in front of the vaccine line. I'LL STOP NOW. :buh-bye:

lucky bastards

If you can volunteer your arm in place of a trash can, do it.

Quote
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said that the pharmacy did the right thing. Getting the vaccine into priority groups remains the state’s primary goal, said spokeswoman Lisa Cox, but if, on occasion, extra vaccine is in peril of going unused, it’s better to use that vaccine than not.

“Ultimately, our main concern is not allowing for wastage,” Cox said. “So if they run into that predicament where they the just need to make sure it’s not wasted and it can be used to vaccinate people, that’s what they need to do — whatever means necessary. I’m encouraged that they found a way to get it into arms.”

Once thawed, vials should not be refrozen. If a vial is punctured, it must be disposed of within six hours.

“Someone doesn’t show up, and there is an extra dose,” Cox said, “if they can find an arm, no matter what priority group that person is in, that’s what we would advise them to do.”
