I thought for a second about checking the asthma box, since I have an inhaler prescribed to me by my doctor; but he prescribed it to me because of a severe cat allergy.

    But then I take a breath and remember that despite their being ~15 years younger than I am, Covid is more likely to kill them if they get it. That's what we're trying to do; vaccinate those most at risk of dying from it. My life choices have made me less likely to die from a pandemic level virus, so I've got that going for me, which is nice. I can lay low for a few more months while the unhealthy people get the protection they need.
    I agree with a lot of this. I just draw the line at having an actual diagnosed medical condition rather than simply saying all smokers jump to the front of the line.

    Haven't smoked in over 5 years. For the most part I don't miss it but sometimes after a really nice rich meal or on a cold night I miss sucking on that sweet sweet tobacco-y goodness. Don't miss the stinky clothes and breath and myriad of health problems that came with it though. One of the hardest things I ever had to do was quitting.

    21-24 year olds are also the age group thumbing their nose at the restrictions and guidelines and catching covid by doing dumb shit

    This. He is currently advocating against the COVID vaccine and alleging that it killed Hank Aaron.

    All the other Kennedys have denounced him, but he’s still out there dumber than ever.

    I believe he’s a lawyer so no medical background, but his last name gives people the impression they should listen to him. In short he’s a dangerous POS.

    I don't know anything about RFKjr but if Hank just got vaccinated (I don't even know if he did?) then died, isn't it ok to question whether or not a brand new vaccine had anything to do with it?

    Yes it’s ok for doctors/ professionals with the appropriate background to raise concerns. This guy is a well known anti vaxer with a history of bs claims. Concerns are always warranted, but people take his non expert opinions and amplify them.

    Hahaha
    I’m not even remotely salty & no jam taken out of my donut.
    I was just having fun with the feelings over facts / you just hate to see it tag lines.

    Disappointed that I can’t be in attendance to watch my son’s first race with the WPRC race team today, but the only salt around here was the salt I put on my egg this morning.

    But I am sorry you can’t put your feelings about smokers aside to acknowledge the fact that smoking by itself does put you at an increased risk, per the CDC.

    I mean, Hank got his first dose January 5th. He had not yet received his 2nd from everything I can tell. So, it’s been 2.5 weeks since his first shot. It’s been reported that he died in his sleep. I’m not sure that really aligns with any known COVID vaccine effects - neither timing nor symptoms.

    I don’t really think there’s a need to question it - it’s such a stretch to start. It’s certainly not okay for a high profile person to wildly spout off nonsense and fear about this vaccine to his hundreds of thousands of followers. It’s basically yelling “FIRE” in a crowded theatre at this point.

    I mean he might have died too because he was 85. Larry King might have died because he's, you know, 87. That's what old people do, they die.

    There is no such thing as a healthy smoker, particularly in context of increased risk for severe illness with covid.

    There has to be a hierarchy of who gets it first.
    We know you’re at an increased risk based on age. Period.
    We know certain condition put you at an increased risk, and even within those conditions we know which are “worse” than others.
    There are certain heart issues that put someone at the same risk level as a smoker, and those conditions are listed as critical groups now per the CDC. Not every condition is going to have the same level of risk.

    I get the underlying issue. Smoking is self-induced. But this rollout shouldn’t be based on choices the person has made throughout both their life or what they did during the pandemic. Rightfully so, it’s based on what factors put you at an increased risk of severe illness and death.

    There has to be a hierarchy of who gets it first.

    We know you’re at an increased risk based on age. Period.

    We know certain condition put you at an increased risk, and even within those conditions we know which are “worse” than others.

    There are certain heart issues that put someone at the same risk level as a smoker, and those conditions are listed as critical groups now per the CDC. Not every condition is going to have the same level of risk.



    I get the underlying issue. Smoking is self-induced. But this rollout shouldn’t be based on choices the person has made throughout both their life or what they did during the pandemic. Rightfully so, it’s based on what factors put you at an increased risk of severe illness and death.


    I just want everyone to be able to get it and get it now lol
