Because think of the shareholders, I’m waiting to see which politicians spouses own controlling shares in the verification companies…

Yeah, that’s pretty much what happened. She was still labouring but actively jumped out of the crate trying to get away from this thing chasing her around

She’s had all day to recover now and is happily snoozing with her pups all cuddled up underneath her.

She got constantly told how good she was and how well she was doing throughout everything, with plenty of fuss to keep her calm, and plenty more fuss when she’s doing such a good job caring for them.

Derp, of course, brain just never made that connection there thanks

SRE?

But apparently it’s usually the wrong type of dog face https://wuffs.org/@Ninji/114556719027277009

You know what’s also unhealthy for people, the infection this helps mitigate. I originally wrote out a long diatribe and was going to look for many citations for it, but realised I could sum it up much easier.

Vaccines are proven to reduce severity, especially in the vulnerable demographics mentioned, they also reduce transmission for everyone. COVID vaccine efficiency fades with time. As a member of said vulnerable group, any infection utterly sucks, even if vaccinated (although having had COVID 3x, the first was absolutely hell in comparison to post vaccination, natural or pharmaceutical). This not insignificant risk I have to accept on a daily basis. The risk to anybody of getting vaccinated is magnitudes less than the risk I have to accept. By taking this comparatively tiny risk on my behalf, you significantly reduce what I have to accept.

Argue what you will about forcing vaccines, but when it statistically poses less risk than the car drive to go and get it, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to allow people to opt-in if they so desire.

Unless it’s an embarrassing “I fell” syndrome incident I suspect they’d probably go to the one they know as they can probably pull strings and get better/quicker treatment
