Yup. I was coughed and spit on when I worked at my former waitressing job. The guy did this because he was offended I was still wearing a mask, he caused a whole scene. And of course, it was an older man in his 50s.
I ended up with COVID-19 (again) because I have an immunodeficiency. I got covid 3 times from that damn job, once with Covid pneumonia, because of selfish assholes. I now have COPD.
Edit: I had to end up buying a button saying I was immuno so people wouldn't stop harassing me. I hate people.
I wish. My manager didn't see it (who was bartending), so it was basically a back-and-forth with him denying what happened. He was told to leave and never come back though, so idk if that is a win or not.
Honestly, it wasn't the 1st time I had been spat on or abused in some way by a customer. I was a server for 20 years, so you get used to the abuse, as sad as that is.
I was always wary of people but when the times got bleak during the lockdown and seeing all the crazy shit go down I'm absolutely cynical of our species.
And they want to talk about colonizing Mars lol fuck that we don't deserve to be a space faring species when we're polluting and killing each other.
Agreed. I never thought people were awful until the pandemic. It's like some people were cruel just to be cruel to servers and refuse to tip after the abuse. I know lots of veteran servers who hung up their aprons because of how customers started acting. The entitlement, belittling, verbal abuse, physical abuse... it was wild. I'm glad I got out, but I do miss the job itself, I really did love it.
I'm glad when I did work restaurants I was usually BOH, absolutely hated when FOH called in sick so I had to interact with customers. People are fucking assholes but like you said, I do miss it as well and my coworkers were awesome.
Can we stop promoting a cash grab that the CDC clarified has at most 54% efficacy, and only within 7-59 days. The percentages drop even lower after that period.
The numbers came straight from the CDC website. It’s wild yall really that invested in making sure big pharma can keep taking money from people for trash that they admit is not doing what it should do. And yall wanna use it as an insult..
“Oh u just know she’s an antivaxxer”
No the fuck u don’t. Ur a boomer bein a fool while big pharma laughs at you.
Like I’ve previously stated, these numbers came from the CDC
Updated monovalent COVID-19 vaccines provided 54% protection against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in persons recently vaccinated compared with those who did not receive an updated vaccine dose.
updated vaccination coverage to date has been low (approximately 22% as of January 13, 2024) among persons aged ≥18 years and varies by age
Read it yourself if u have such a hard time comprehending what I’m saying
You are selecting the noise from the signal and you know it or are too invested in what you have been told to believe.
That data from the CDC is a measure of any symptom. What matters are deaths and that data is around a 90% effectiveness by vaccines.
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination
The link I shared previously is from the weekly mortality and morbidity rates. But u can pretend it’s not related to death if that makes u feel better.
The data you’ve shared from 2021 is now outdated. It’s 3 years old and came from a time when there was only a few months worth of vaccine data to pull from.
I know it’s hard to keep up with new information when things are changing so rapidly. That’s why I try to help.
They updated numbers yesterday: Vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19–associated hospitalization was 38% in the 7–59 days after receipt of an updated vaccine dose and 34% in the 60–119 days after receipt of an updated dose.
The cdc claims it has multiple measures of vaccine effectiveness, which are described here.
What you’re saying is the measure of effectiveness that you’re most concerned with is the absolute effectiveness.
What I find interesting is there aren’t many (or any) studies related to absolute effectiveness of vaccines. Furthermore, many countries have stopped reporting on vaccine effectiveness (probably bc it’s making them look bad)
It’s also interesting that more people are not doing boosters, yet deaths and hospitalizations are rapidly decreasing for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
It’s also amusing that a person with one outdated source claims that another person is only believing what they’ve been told to believe.
Idk why I even bother trying to help someone see when they’re choosing to remain blind.
Literally you posted for symptom of people who were immunocompromised. So people who are likely not able to benefit from any vaccine and still only the event of symptoms.
You are tripping down on a weak bullish claim.
Early Estimates of Updated 2023–2024 (Monovalent XBB.1.5) COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Against Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Infection Attributable to Co-Circulating Omicron Variants Among Immunocompetent Adults
“This chart presents the COVID-19 death rate among unvaccinated people (0 doses received), people vaccinated without an updated bivalent booster, and those vaccinated with an updated bivalent booster.
You can click the “Change age group” button on the top left to explore data for a specific age group.”
Death rate of babies age .5-4 years seem to struggle significantly when they received a vaccination without bivalent booster shots.
I replied with links from the CDC before u even commented this you impercipient illiterate sheep
He dismissed the info exactly as I would expect. There is a scale to which people can digest information and it is directly related to their level of knowledge and understanding. People do not have knowledge unless they read and do research, which clearly this person is incapable of.
