my shot

or he was jokingly expecting one at some point....................I can see it being said as a courageous way of being light about it....

No, it was just how he talks I think. If I had a heart attack, I would never say "my heart attack." I would want to keep a distance from it, not own it. Saying "my" is almost like embracing something.

So that's why "my shot" bothers me. But a lot of people do feel affection for the shots. They don't even get mad when the shot makes them extremely sick.

I am not a fan of the drug industry or genetic engineering, so I never felt any of that affection.

Are you blaming the vaccine for being alive and want me to wish you death because you were vaccinated? because you were afraid of the vaccines?

The vaccine kept me alive? I would be dead without the vaccine? If I had a .03% of dying IF I caught it? You need a course in statistics.

How old are you?

Don't you claim to be in the age group where is is an issue?

Yes, but I'm a health nut and don't have any of the chronic diseases everyone my age has.

Maybe. I just sense a lot of affection in how it's expressed. I mean, we don't say "I went to Starbucks and got my cup of coffee." We say "I got A cup of coffee."

The word "my" implies possession, something you own or is part of you, or is somehow related to you. "Like "my neighbor" or "my brother-in-law," "my chimney," "my iPhone."

When someone says "I had my heart attack four years ago" it sounds strange to me. Maybe it's just a new way of talking, that I don't happen to like.

Now I realize someone would say "I took my pills this morning." Because otherwise, if they said "I took some pills this morning," that is confusing. Like, whose pills did you take?

Well language is complicated. I studied linguistics so I get into analyzing it.

I drank my coffee.

I rode my motorcycle.

I logged in to my work computer.

I finished my jobs for the day.

And ?

This will seem like a silly complaint. But what the heck, we're anonymous here.

This really bothers me: I never hear or read anyone saying "I got a shot" or "I got a booster." It is ALWAYS "I got MY shot" or " I got MY booster."

It seems to me like an affectionate way of talking about the vaccines. I feel like people are falling in love with medical products. Like these vaccines will rescue civilization from mass death.

I got my darling shot today, oh how I love my shot.

My god, you really are so freaking obsessed with people doing the right thing and getting vaccinated aren't you?

Are you so narcissistic that you get so annoyed when other people ignore your conspiracy junk science rantings?

I got MY booster last week, it is MY booster because I made the right decision, and I got the shot in MY arm and I am happy to live in a world where there are logical scientific options for MY health.

I don't like you. Not one bit. I will ignore you nastiness from now on. I have reported you multiple times, but you're still kickin'. Good bye.
 
Fledermaus said:
In other words you are in the age group when the numbers are much higher for death or serious illness.

It is more than just age. A person can be 65+ and still in excellent health. This virus seems to attack people who are for some reason fragile. Of course, there have been other viruses that attack the young and healthy, but not this one.

Excellent health until dead of COVID.
 
Good4Nothin said:
Yes, that was the impression I was getting. It's actually LOVE. No wonder some of you here get so rabid when I say anything negative about them.
Click to expand...
Oh, would you get over yourself? You are so damned butthurt that other people are doing the right thing and not listening to fever pitched inane paranoic ramblings that you spew like a fountain about Covid.

Get a mirror. Maybe you can see the silly amount of self-important vanity that you have on this. But, the normal folk that understand science see it, and its COMEDY GOLD.

Nope. I do not possess my work computer. The company does.

I do not possess the jobs I was assigned.

I no longer possess my coffee. That is being recycled.

Ok but it is the computer assigned to you. When you get to work, there isn't someone else using your computer. It is YOURS in that sense.
 
Parrish said:
Thank god that you are able to post. You're one of the lucky ones. I'm sure those who died before vaccines were available envy you.

Because we know everyone died before there were vaccines?

Are you saying that because @beerftw is still alive? What is wrong with you?

That's just ridiculous. The chance of that is near zero. And the vaccine is supposed to make it even lower.

You have no understanding of science or statistics. It is beneath me to argue with you.
