A surprisingly un-Ohio decision.
Rare Ohio W
I’m in Maine. Apparently since I am not under 12 or over 65, do not have a pre-existing qualifying illness, and did not get a prescription from a doctor, I am not eligible to receive a Covid booster. There might be one other requirement I am forgetting.
There are a few things on that list that could get you what you need. It's hard to disprove physical inactivity, and drug stores aren't really in the interrogation business when it comes to vaccines.
I hear you. All of that information was given to me directly, last night, from the lead pharmacist at the pharmacy though.
Tell them you have a common autoimmune disorder like psoriasis or anything qualifying. The pharmacy likely doesn’t care. Some won’t even ask.
Other sponsor state Rep. Beth Lear gave us a comment, saying, “When states, including Ohio, began mandating untested and unproven mRNA shots as a condition of employment and education, I and many others around the state and nation awoke to the massive government overreach that was taking place.”
Ms. Lear, if you didn't want the superior mRNA vaccine, you could have still gotten the NON-mRNA Johnson & Johnson old school viral vector vaccine and still met the vaccine mandate. Even today if you are still afraid of mRNA, you can get the modern Novavax NON-mRNA protein subunit vaccine. Now stop lying please.
What kind of dumbass must one be to think they're "untested"?
Are there more sane people in Ohio? I'd really like to know...
Lots of farmers with lots of livestock that depend on vaccinations. They know that shit works.
There are self-aware folks in Ohio?
No. And don't let Dewine fool you, he may fracture a bit, and maybe not actively pro-death like his collegues, but he's still corked diarrhea of a human.
Tell me more...I want there to be more looking at this so, please, say more.....
I'm not sure if you're asking for examples that he's terrible, but you can start with ohio's gerrymandering, heartbeat bill, stance on same sex marriage, trans healthcare, the first energy scandal, the loosened concealed carry laws... Take your pick.
He's not a complete woke warrior self centered fuck face like Desantis but that's about the best I can say and not really the bar I expect from politicians to begin with.
Don’t forget about his wonderful treatment of E. Palestine after the Norfolk derailment!
Like the staged photo op where they "drink" the water to show it's not contaminated. And him and two others look like ghosts when the one actually drinks it and doesn't just put it to his lips.
He's not the worst Republican but everyone should be aware he's basically the same as the rest, just with a dowdy grandpa demeanor.
