Typical life

The anti-vaxxers are Covid’s best friends. Their legacy will be unnecessary suffering and death.

I have a very dear friend who decided not to get the vaccine. She ended up getting the Covid. It’s gone now, but now she has a blood clot in her chest and one in her leg. She was crying last night because she can’t walk. She’s on blood thinners and I hope they help her soon. Please get the vaccine!

When smart do dumb things,,,

See if he is ok with risking six weeks in the ICU.

The medicine usually kicks in the next day.

following up on yesterday’s “JumpStart”…

People often confuse intelligence with wisdom.

Frank, you were certainly quick to defend Officer Peterson when talking with Joe. You completely discounted Joe’s opinions, but now…

Remember when your medical history was your own business and you didn’t use HIPAA data to virtue-signal?

Got my second Pfizer dose on Tuesday. Felt sort of cruddy on Wednesday about 28 hours after getting the shot but it blew over.

Peterson is right to be cautious. All of the vaccines were rushed through the approval process. Several of them have now caused problems and people have been cautioned against using them. I haven’t taken one yet and likely will not unless I am forced to by the government or for continued employment. My health is already at risk, I’m not risking it any further.

I wish comics would stick to comics. Not put in garbage.

Now that Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine it causing clotting problem, I am sure not getting any vaccine.

My wife and her doctor claim the covid-19 is just another flu. I plan to get my shot when they’re not paying attention.

You’re concerned for him? Considering his intelligence, maybe you should actually listen to him, hmm?

I’m reading Jump Start online. Maybe it’s possible to get more than just good comics online?

Do the Tuskegee experiments ring any bells, Joe?

Had the Moderna, couldn’t even feel the needle go in and wouldn’t have known it had if I hadn’t watched them doing it. My husband said the same thing.

And that’s the difference between ‘smart’ and ‘wise’.

I was 11 when the Salk polio vaccine came out. Of course I got all three shots. Now I wonder: Was there an antivaxxer movement back then? Or was the memory of the horrors of polio still fresh in peoples’ minds?

I personally know a scientist who is so wrapped up into the conspiracy theories about this vaccine that they won’t get one either. A SCIENTIST! I’m so over arguing with them about it. They can’t use their sciencey brain to think straight. No, Bill Gates is NOT putting tracking devices in the vaccine. We’re already being tracked with our cell phones and surfing the internet, why on earth would they spend money to put it in a vaccine?? Makes no sense at all.
