Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Overheard some Einstein level science talk out of the mother of one of my daughter's teammates. First, she seems really proud that she and her entire family had COVID last year. Her husband is the same guy I mentioned up thread who was hospitalized for several days. She was talking about how natural immunity is better than immunity through a vaccine (might be true, but natural + vaccine is better). I'm assuming she believes she doesn't need a vaccine, because she was saying she kept her lab result showing COVID positive, because she thinks she can use that instead of a vaccine card in places requiring proof of vaccination. She thinks she is immune for life. How do people not realize there are tons of cases of people getting it twice? Has she not heard of variants? She is a real estate agent, so probably spending a lot of time inside in close quarters with the general public. Just get a fucking vaccine, lady! No surprise, they were one of the first people to sign up for the February tournament at Disney.

Sounds like the female version of my Facebook friend you've gotten into arguments with in the past.
He recently took a photo with Lauren Boebert calling her a great politician. He's such a clown.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
It's been years, but I instantly remembered his name. Thank you for removing him from my feed.
I forgot to mention the best part of her commentary; since 70% of people in NJ are vaccinated and 12% have tested positive, NJ has achieved herd immunity, so we are all safe. Umm, NJ is averaging 2,200 new cases/day, dummy. So no. Several people told me she is a former Ms. Oklahoma, and she fits the stereotypes of both Oklahoman and vapid beauty queen. Really nice lady, if you are looking to sell a house in Northern NJ...

Canada gets in on the fun!
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Some of the Canadians might want to dispute this, but Alberta (especially) and most of western Canada outside of the Vancouver area might as well be a Republican state like Utah or Montana.

Nowhere near as severe as those places, but Republican in a Canadian way, for sure.

I get it but all kids in pretty much every school in the state is a close contact on a weekly if not daily basis. They just didn't get the form email.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I legit have no idea how you can just quit the military over a vaccine.
This is like something out of the conscientious objector playbook. But way fucking weirder.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Dozens of Mass state troopers are resigning rather than getting the vaccine. This blows my mind because those fucks are making the big bucks and have been bilking taxpayers for "overtime" and for decades. You have to be deep in the propaganda to unlatch from that sweet teat.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I'm very much looking forward to seeing the numbers for military members getting out over this.
I apply for retirement Friday and I cannot wait to get the "Oh no, but wait...we can make an exemption to policy to let you stay in..." emails.
Nope. Fuck that. I'm already underpaid and I've been the same rank for 10 years. I'm over doing more with less year after year while getting tagged to deploy or go to Korea under non vol reasons.
I can do better than the military. Even 'nothing' is better most days.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
My parents got a booster (3rd) Pfizer Covid shot today! This pleases me.
My unvaccinated brother yelled at, then hung the phone on them, after being told he'd need to mask up or get vaccinated to come visit them. Their action pleases me; his does not.

My unvaccinated sister and her boyfriend (I assume the same, never met him) are off for vacation to visit his family in southern Missouri. Can't wait to hear how this turns out.
She also thinks we are no longer speaking because I have been very curt with her on the phone the last two times we have spoken. I'm fine with this.

As a teacher, Jen qualified for a booster and got one last night. Sore arm and a headache but no other after-effects today.
Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I got my second shot on 5 March. I should be due for my booster soon, but there hasn't been any way ahead for military folks as of yet.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
A local brewery posted on their Facebook page yesterday that they were going to start requiring vax cards and masks. Someone posted a screed about 'my freedom', and I made the mistake of replying 'Feel free to stay home'.
Which led to me being called a sheep, being told that conforming is not the answer, and the obligatory 'show us your papers'.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Not exactly sure what to make of this headline and the ensuing story:
The Washington Post: Hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops have not yet complied with vaccine mandate as deadlines near.
The first line says "remain unvaccinated or partially vaccinated." If you're partially vaccinated that shows intent to get dose number 2, so let's temper down the "not yet complied" rhetoric. That connotes members don't want the shot instead of many of them waiting between shots.
Ultimately, I'm intrigued to see where this goes. If there are that many people throwing a tantrum because their guy didn't win, fuck them. But if there are a bunch of people using this as a "get out of the military" free card, it's possibly pretty savvy depending upon the type of discharge.
I'm just bewildered by the fact that we've gotten so many mandatory shots over the years that this one is where they draw the line. I swear this is some 4D chess shit to devide the military.
If this reaches a level where I get stop-lossed from retiring because of end year strength goals and readiness, I'm going to be so fucking bummed.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
There is still no word about what WSU is going to do with their football coach when the vax deadline hits next week, but the Seattle Times posted the questionnaire for getting an exemption.
Here’s the vaccine exemption questionnaire that may determine WSU coach Nick Rolovich’s job status
Here’s the vaccine exemption questionnaire that may determine WSU coach Nick Rolovich’s job status
Rolovich had until Oct. 4 to file his request for a religious exemption. The form, available online, has six questions:
Question 1: Employee name and WSU ID# (Print)
(Note: WSU has implemented a blind review process, so identifying marks for all employees will be removed when the panel evaluates the requests.)
Question 2: “Describe the sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance that is the basis for your request for a religious exemption/accommodation to WSU’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement.”
Question 3: “Briefly explain how your sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance conflicts with WSU’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement.”
Question 4: “How long have you held the above religious belief, practice, or observance?”
Question 5: “If you have ever received an FDA authorized or approved vaccine at any time in your life, please explain how your sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance causes you to object to the COVID-19 vaccine compared to other vaccines you received.”
Question 6: “If the request for accommodation is temporary, please identify the anticipated date the accommodation is no longer needed.”

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Talked to my 80-year-old father last night. I was going to ask him if/when he was going to get the booster, but he brought it up first unprompted. Said he tried to walk into a Walgreens to get it, but they weren't taking walk-ins. So my wife set up the appointment online last night and he got it done this afternoon. Really looking forward to Oct 26th and the decision on 5-11 year-olds, because I've got two of those and they'll be in line early to get theirs.
Pretty much the lone holdout in my family is my (step)mother-in-law. I think she'll relent with a mandate (she's office admin in a healthcare facility), but it most definitely won't be before then.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I have already spoken to 11 and 6 that when the vaccine is available to them, they are getting it, explaining that going through a minute or so of pain from the shot could end up saving their own life, as well as the lives of their friends, as well as adding that getting the vaccine means getting closer to not having to wear masks at school and when hanging out with friends, etc.

Anti-Vax Wazzu coach fired.
Report: WSU football coach Nick Rolovich fired after refusing to take COVID-19 vaccine
Report: WSU football coach Nick Rolovich fired after refusing to take COVID-19 vaccine
Nick Rolovich came to Washington State as a fun-loving coach, known nationally for his off-the-wall antics and an ability to win.
Less than two years and 11 games later, Rolovich is apparently gone, and will be known nationally as the football coach who lost his job for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Rolovich had applied for a religious exemption to the mandate that all state employees be vaccinated by Oct. 18, but his tenure at WSU reportedly came to end Monday.
According to John Canzano of The Oregonian, Rolovich was terminated for cause along with other unvaccinated WSU assistant coaches. Further details weren’t immediately available.
