Tax season for one. For another many financial employees are essential. For example, if I do not do what I do mortgages do not close and the financial system locks up. CPA could be similar. The President is a fink. |

You act like you can't get sick now. Didn't you say these flu type vaccines only work 50% of the time? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Obviously SOOPOO is smarter than that. He believes that the vaccine will reduce his chances of getting the virus. Most people would agree with him but he understands that he is not excluded from getting the virus. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

The limit is however much Halloween candy the person hands you. That's actually a really good comparison. When I was a kid, I'd often go trick or treating in other nearby towns (or on the opposite side of my town than one might expect) simply because I noticed there were more porch lights on--which meant more houses that were giving out candy. Anyway, I agree with previous posts that there is either a residency requirement, or there is not. I see no reason to let some misguided sense of morality prevent a person from getting a vaccine if he/she wants one. Either way, at least the vaccines are getting used.

I respectfully suggest you advise her not to worry so much about things she cannot control. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I basically did. She will allow me to get her an appointment anywhere that is reasonable to drive to as soon as possible. Before my ex in laws were able to just show up and get their first shots, my ex wife made appointments for them in Binghamton, nearly a FOUR hour drive! I limited my searches to 50 mile radius. |

So head down and get some chicken speedies while they are there. The President is a fink. |

.And thus when Tiny Tim limped on his crippled foot, there was no candy left at the nearby houses for all the outsider kids had taken it all. lol. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | There is a relevant point though that some people, who don’t get around very well and depend on mass transit now have no convenient option nearby if able bodied outsiders use up the vaccines in their neighborhood.

I'm going to get my vaccine when I both qualify and feel like it...which means I am likely to be one of the very last to get it if I get around to it at all. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |
