Fully vaccinated, but we're in full mask mandate right now. Fellow young adults/teens, HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH MASK ACNE!!!!

Dr oz was on the news yesterday talking about how they need to do trials on ivermectin for treatment..... that drug companies didn't because there's no money in it.

An anti viral. Now wouldn't that be something? We could kick so many bugs that come along in the winter! Sore throat? Not strep? Wait, you're in luck! We now have an anti viral shot. Tough one to kick. Guess they've been working on it for years. I think they've stepped it up a bit here lately.

I can’t really talk much about it, but a coworker was forced to work with COVID symptoms on Saturday. We work in very close proximity as it’s the nature of the job. Most people at work are vaccinated, including me, but at least 2 or 3 that I know have are unable to get vaccinated for medical reasons. We’ve all worked through the pandemic and made it this far. I’m pissed off that this coworker’s symptoms weren’t taken seriously and we may now all be finally exposed. Meh.

At least you are vaccinated so if you get it you know you won’t die.

getting my 2nd Moderna today.
Just wondering if mandates for vax will be put on people who DON'T work and get their lives paid for by people who now MUST get the vax just to be able to work?

Good question.

Coworker couldn't take a sick day?

Without this person, we would have had to close for the day and cancel many appointments. Management likely did not want to deal with it.

My oldest dealt with this a lot last year. It really helped for her to use the disposable vs the cloth/homemade ones as they seemed to breathe a little more. Also, she did have to up her face washing regimen a little more but added a moisturizer so she didn't get the really bad dry skin.

M understanding also. They are developing something that is like ivermectin but one molecule difference. They can get a patent on it so they can charge a lot for it. Just need an fda approval after trial.

That’s terrible

Sorry you might have been expelled. But there is one thing I didn’t understand.
What medical reason makes it impossible that a person can get to work and can’t get a vaccination?

I try not to pry into the business of others. I’ve heard info from other people gossiping, but not from the individuals themselves. I figure it should be between them and their doctors.

That's not actually true, the drugs are actually different. and Ivermectin has been in trials, and didn't make a difference in patient outcomes.
Also, the whole thing started because in test tubes, at 100x the human dose, it killed C-19 virus. Nice, but 100x the human dose in a test tube isn't helpful in real patients at safe dosages. It's great drug if you have roundworms, but for viruses, not so much.
