Our facility is receiving the vaccine, but I have decided to sign a waiver to decline getting the shots until more testing has been done.

Pence to receive vaccine on Friday, Biden next week some time
Quote:Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence will receive the vaccine at the White House. Pence’s office said they will get the shot “publicly” to promote the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and “build confidence among the American people.”
The Pences will be joined by Surgeon General Jerome Adams, who will also receive the vaccine, Pence’s office said.
I am not surprised. I always thought Pence was much smarter than Trump.
Quote:A Biden transition official confirmed the former vice president's potential timeline for the vaccine. CNN reported Biden is likely to be vaccinated early next week.
Their plans come after health care workers across the U.S. were the first to receive a shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Monday as COVID-19 cases are on the rise nationwide. More than 300,000 Americans have died from the virus.
President Donald Trump has not announced plans to take the vaccine, which the federal government intends to help distribute through Operation Warp Speed, the $10 billion effort to accelerate the production and distribution of a coronavirus vaccine.
Surprise, surprise.
Quote:Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have said they are willing to get a coronavirus vaccine publicly – perhaps filming it – to prove the treatment is safe and effective.

I think you need to back away from the narcotics.
I'm thinking about taking them all at once.

Surprise, surprise. Given that he had the full-on disease two months ago, this decision does actually make sense.

One of the residents at work I care deeply about got sick the other morning. I was freaking out. She's older, in her early nineties, still has her mind and wits about her, and she's funny as heck. She can be annoying sometimes, but that's to be expected at her age.
She's a normal get-up at 6am every morning. I tried getting her up, but then she began puking. I changed her gown three times that morning, removed her false teeth because they were in the way when she was attempting to discharge from her mouth, and the only thing she cared about was wanting her teeth back in for breakfast.
Before I left that morning, I kept checking in on her. I was so worried, I bothered the nurse because I thought the resident was breathing too heavily. I was just upset, afraid of losing this woman.
I was off work last night, and I am hoping that this resident has improved. She already has respiratory issues, so it's surprising that C-19 hasn't reached her yet. I'm afraid it might have. I'll find out tonight.

I often wonder if Murdoch truly despises Fox News viewers.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
