Stolen and reposted because "no alt text" which is especially relevant when you're trying to get a message across to everyone with your posts. Inclusion isn't a buzzword my dude.
@msquebanh I do get Alt text from people with the #Alttextforme tag but usually I don't even have to , people just put it down for me to add it. (this was part of another discussion that's why I said that).
@msquebanh You want to send them to me? I always post without. You want it? I'll post it if you have it. It's not like I refuse to post it but I need it so I wait til someone sends it.
I'm a veteran and I struggle with depression and PTSD. I lost one of my brothers-in-arms and groomsmen to drug abuse and suicide. There isn't a week that goes by where I don't think of him; today I write this through ... https://kjaymiller.com/microblog/202405272047.html
@kjaymiller Thank you for your service. I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. It is absolutely beyond my comprehension why the military doesn't help men coming back as a matter of protocol. I mean they sure train them to go play cannon fodder perfectly right? Yet they can't help them get back to their lives after what they endure? It's a national shame.
I follow COVID scientists here on Mastodon. I've seen them post links to studies showing waning effectiveness of COVID vaccines after 6 months.
I received the updated booster last October and want to get boosted again prior to some planned travel in July. (Air travel to the MAGA anti-vax cesspool known as Florida)
I have contacted three pharmacies in my area.
One has no COVID vaccines at all and said they won't receive any until fall.
The other two say they will not vaccinate me because they must follow US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines stating that only people 65 years and older should receive boosters at this time.
They won't vaccinate me even if I am willing to pay out of pocket.
Both say I must get a recommendation from my health care provider before they will even consider it.
Less than 20% of people in my state are up to date on their COVID vaccines. For those of us who want to follow the science and not some arbitrary age limitation, why not let us get vaccinated?
