I wonder if she lost the feeling in her legs from sitting on the shitter that long for a photoshoot?

While I'm here, everyone, please get your flu and COVID shots this winter, vaccines work, so don't get sick, and don't get other people sick.

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Got mine! 10/10 will definitely do again

Yeah.. For people saying COVID is "just the flu", I had a friend who ended up in hospital with COVID.. When I got covid and thought I may have spread it to her (fortunately she got lucky and somehow didn't get it) , she pretty much started prepacking for hospital.

It's still a super serious virus, same as the real flu..

Also get your dogs rabies vaccines! We are getting dangerously close to having less than 80% of the dogs in the US vaccinated. This will cause pockets of disease in your pets.

I just went to sign up for my covid shot and it asked me to update my insurance information. I have no fucking answers for them so I stopped filling out the form.

[-] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Have you tried telling them you don’t have insurance

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Nope I'm gonna call and tell them today I think they will say its okay and the website is just dumb 😋 thanks by the way

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I highly recommend staggering them though. I did them both together last year and felt so sick that I had to take a day off of work (still better than COVID or Flu). This year, I had a COVID booster and I'm getting a flu shot Monday. The COVID shot did nothing to me but give me a sore arm and flu shots never do anything.

Odd that the people who question vaccines are the same people who don't question the medicines they put into their mouths when they get sick. Do they know that vaccines and medicines are researched and manufactured in a similar way?

[-] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 year ago

They probably should question them. Even something as seemingly benign as Paracetamol is not without its issues if used too often, or after alcohol. It can do serious harm. Most medicine can.

Another fun medicine fact. Australia banned the sale of pseudoephedrine from store shelves quite some years ago to try and reduce domestic amphetamine production. Ever since, all of the major pharma brands have sold phenylephrine based cold and flu medicine as a replacement. Our Therapeutic Goods Administration recently found that this preparation is no better than placebo. We're talking about a billion dollar industry that has been knowingly selling snake oil for ten years.

I guess what I'm saying is a healthy dose of skepticism and knowledge seeking should be applied to anything you are putting in your body or exchanging money for. The pharmaceutical industry are not saints. They're just as driven by profit incentives as every other business.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

They have known since 2009

I don't think it's some conspiracy that they have known and hid it. And at least in the states you can still get the real stuff behind the counter too with ID.

I'm not discrediting anything you said though just adding on.

[-] Chr0nos1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This ^. There are so many medications out there that either do nothing, or the side effects are worse than what they're treating. Pay attention to what you're taking, and look into everything. The Pharma industry is about money. That's it. Money. They don't care about making you better, they care about what kind of profit they can make off of a new drug. There's not a single pharma company that can be trusted. And this isn't only drugs that they are more worried about making money on, vaccines too. You don't really think the pharma companies came out with a COVID vaccine because it was best for humanity do you? They knew the government would pay whatever they asked for the vaccines, so they pushed them out as fast as they could. Work/doesn't work? Doesn't matter, as long as they made a profit.

These people will drink bleach if someone tells them to https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/10/florida-men-sentenced-to-years-in-prison-for-selling-bleach-as-miracle-cure/

Anti-vaxxers aren't anti-science because that would imply they understand science. They're anti-knowledge and anti-reason which is far more dangerous.

What great ideas didn’t begin as a thought on the toilet? /s

Supposedly Newton's idea of gravity but that story with the apple could just be a cover-up.
