(67,461 posts)... single criteria for of it. One month ago, the President/CDC said that booster shots were beginning for everyone in September. We got our shots in August when the booster shots became available for at the risk, and then both the WH and CDC changed that, after Pfizer got their FDA OK.
Also: I've been fighting Cancer for eight years, with the last surgery just two years ago. I've had three different cancer removed, with one of those after being treated with an immunotherapy regimen. I'm over 70, I get bronchitis and have had pneumonia several times with hospitalizations.
Even a guy who didn't stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night might suspect: I am immunocompromised. The VA seems to think so, after they've spent at leas $1,000,000 dollars on me. So far. And I had a biopsy taken on last Tuesday so, who knows, right?
(The reason was that biopsy last week was supposed to have been taken a month ago, too. But I had to wait two more weeks that became month after I was exposed to a Covid after driving a friend to the ER wh0 had Covid and had to miss my biopsy because I had to quarrantine. After both my shots and a booster.)
So instead of driving 80+ miles one way to Temple VA or 40 miles to Austin VA clinic, I got it in town.
We lied to no one. We followed what the WH was saying at that time. We brow beat no one. We begged no one. We were our usual 100% polite mid-western nice at all times. We paid no one off.
We crossed no ethical lines. We broke no laws. We absofuckinglutely did not lie. Quote me.
So get off my metaphysical back.
