    So our school board voted to end mask mandates yesterday - to the cheers of MAGA idiots who showed up to demand it. This is despite how the board was talking two weeks ago how we'd had no cases of transmission linked to in-class learning thanks to required masks. Thanks to the removal of mask mandates, they will have to start quarantining kids who are close contacts to positive cases (unless the close contact is vaccinated, so middle school and high school kids might not miss classes). Interestingly, the board split on gender lines for the vote with three moms on the board voting to continue the mandate. The three dads (two well-known MAGAs) and one non-parent voted to end it.

    I’m just so fucking sick of people being stupid about the vaccine. Get the shot and shut the fuck up.

    Luckily, she's old enough to have been vaccinated. But we are still waiting on that J&J booster for me and the Mrs.

    That sucks, Sam. And yeah, the boys aren't getting any younger. Surprising that even this short tour came together.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again: I can understand a lot of the Republican/right wing issues, even if I don't agree with them.

    I really, really don't understand why vaccines are the hill they're literally willing to die on.

    I have a sharp colleague who had Covid just as the vax was being rolled out; as soon as she was cleared, she got the vax. As soon as her 15 year old became eligible, she got the vax. Hubby, the tattoo artist? Not so much. "Doing his own research *eyeroll*" my colleague said. So naturally, when he was working recently had decided his friend was safe so neither wore masks, then sure enough the next day both woke up with fevers.

    Stupid is as stupid does; there's just no solution.

    Got the booster this morning. Arm hurts a little. That’s all so far.
