Helps them gather side effects information. Nope- we weren't made aware of it. We were fortunate in that our son and his wife work for a local hospital, (he works wt Covid patients as a physical therapist and she is a nurse in another area of the hospital) as such they allowed a family member each to get the shot. So we didn't have to deal with the portal which by all accounts has been a big hassle in setting up appointments. We feel very fortunate and blessed to not having to deal with that and getting both shots done quickly. I'll ck the CDC and see if I can contribute to the survey. Thanks for the info. Link to comment

It seems odd they were given a choice at this point in the pandemic. Link to comment

Ha Is it true that Navy fighter pilots are super D-bags or did you not really ever run into any of them? Another question, my buddy was in the Navy (submarine) and he said that one time they had to give a lift to a Navy SEAL, he said the guy was pretty quiet for the most part and sort of kept to himself. One day they had been docked or whatever for a bit and they were doing some running, like a mile or something...the SEAL dude basically sprinted (or ran as fast as he could) and finished first. One of my buddies friend said "You must love running, huh?" and the SEAL goes "No, I f#&%ing hate it, that is why I try to get done so fast". haha Did you ever run into SEALS? Link to comment

Aviators I've met are kind of cocky but generally smart and friendly. I was also in submarines and met some SEAL's. One of them was a really good guy but the rest were giant douches. Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 As we get closer to getting our vaccines rolled though this summer I hope we commit even more help worldwide. Our role as global leader is generally good and should make Americans proud. 2 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Well, I'm not surprised. But, at least someone's getting the vaccine. Hopefully someone is punished somehow. Link to comment
