No BS allowed.

Just went to the VA for my Pfizer booster. Every single person in the hospital had to be masked. Period. No BS exemption. Before entering, if you had a cloth mask, they made you take a surgical mask. It is so good to be in a fully protected environment. Hopefully soon that will be how we all feel, anywhere. Enough of the idiot minority rule. There WAS one ignorant Karen with one of those useless beanie motorcycle helmets with a Trump sticker on it. But the idiot had to wear a mask. How vets support that criminal is ridiculous. Must have had that head hit the pavement in the stupid helmet already.

4. We're still having to show proof of vaccination here in France. 84.8% are vaccinated,

out of 67.39 million.

The mask mandate is slackening off in certain parts of the country, but masks are still obligatory in shops, public transport, government offices, theatres, museums, but not outside.

There are protests on the weekend, but the numbers protesting are dropping. Of course it is autumn, so it's protest season.

PCR and antigen tests stopped being free for the unvaccinated on 4 October. If you're not vaccinated, it costs 44€ for the PCR and 25€ for the antigen.

I can't tell you how bewildered I am that a good majority of SOF supports that posing bloated tick.

Thing that I saw. The vet before me as well as the one behind me had lost their vax cards for shots one and two. The tech that signed me in said there was a large number that did not have Vax cards. I told the guy behind me that it will get to a point where you may need it to enter many places. He said, “I know, that is ridiculous”. I said “I fully support it and do you, as an army vet, have any idea how many shots I had to get in the Navy?” There was no whining, and if we did not keep vax records we had to get shot again.
He backed off and admitted he did as well. The VA told him, there will not be another card issued after this one. So if a 4th shot is required, you lose this card, you are out of luck.
After the 15 minute wait after shot. I passed him and said, “stay safe soldier and protect that card”. He agreed.
People should hold on to those verification cards like gold.

There was no whining about 'freedumbs', we just lined up to get that crap shoved into our fourth point of contact.

😂haaaa! First day of boot. Then had to March for a week with that lump of shit in Our butt cheek. No body ever answered my question, why all the damn marching? My destroyer was only 500 feet long and very narrow. Where the hell we gonna March? I could understand climbing ladders, getting up and down from CIC, but marching? I know, it was a team building thing, and command and respond practice. But leave the glob out the ass.
