Cannot believe that I, a person in their 20's, got vaccinated before my parents, my grandparents, or my 78 year old coworker (who is currently sick with covid)

        Most likely grocery store shit. The local monopoly here employs exclusively 16 year olds and septuagenarians. They also employ deaf and blind people, but pay them sub minimum wage because that's apparently legal. Also starting wage is $7.25 with 25¢ raises every year until you hit $10. Cost of living here is $22/hr @ 40 hours for anyone living alone.

        Depends on your state and insurance company but yeah I don't think they're prioritizing retail workers anywhere

            Someone called in to Street Fight last week with instructions on how to forge a letter that says you're a healthcare worker or teacher or something. One of my friends who is a teacher got vaccinated the other day and didn't have to show any credentials or anything.

    Bruh, I'm18, and I just got my second dose of Pfizer this afternoon. I don't work, and I barely leave the house. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

    Do you work for a hospital?

    My wife got her shot a month ago because she works for a hospital system even though she’s a work-from-home data analyst lol.
