I never thought being a smoker would work to my advantage.

I was thinking about getting the incentive, but Iāll probably drop it. The solicitation reads like it could have a 1st app, but itās too risky.
If you watch the actual needle it goes deep. The reason it hurts later is because you got deeply stabbed in the arm by a very sharp needle. Didnāt figure that part out until I was watching others get theirs. I had no side effects but still took a day off after my second shot. My allergies are acting up like crazy right now. I hate this time of year.

My eyes are red and puffy. I am sneezing and coughing. Dropping like crazy. Good thing is people stay away from me because of the current health crisis.
I never get colds or allergies. I donāt eat healthy or workout. I donāt get it.
Mine developed after I turned 40. I donāt get sick often and less now that I work from home full time (or live at work as I like to say). But damn my allergies get worse and worse every year since I turned 40.

Get shots for whatever the allergy is. Eventually, you wonāt need the shots anymore.
Pollen?
Yeah. Specifically cherry blossom and Bradford pear trees. Mostly flowering trees
If itās worth it to you, get the shots till you donāt need them anymore. Will improve the quality of life.
Cherry Blossoms will do it. I never had allergies until I moved to DC in 06. Moved away a couple years ago and havenāt really had much since.
As an ex smoker myself now, I think smokers should be last in line for any type of vaccine. Just like anyone who drinks alcohol that led to their liver being damaged should be at the bottom of the list for a donor liver replacement and if someone else comes along who needs one that didnāt drink, gets to cut in lineā¦ 
Itās a very stupid thing to smoke.

Yeah, I canāt stand the smell of it now and I have no issues telling people they reek after they get back from their āsmoke breaksāā¦
Yeah wish I would have voluntary taken on a comorbidity like smoking or certain types of diabetes to get aheadā¦
Just kidding. Iām all vaccinated up and no longer have any reason or motivation to stew over shot priority.
All this vaccine talk and I glanced at your reply and for a second thought you were proposing an alternative natural COVID remedy.
Yeah, move to New Zealand and or Australia where they have almost zero cases and not even doing vaccine shots currentlyā¦ everyone been acting normal like nothing happened for months nowā¦
They probably donāt have the packed cities we do here.
They have pretty good size cities, they were just smarter about masks, social distancing and making travelers sit in quarantine for 2 weeks minimum with a crap ton of testing before they let them go about their business. They did real lockdowns that were effective unlike us 'Mericans and our FREEDUM!
I work daily (remote work) with a guy who got stuck in Amsterdam during the big lock down last March, made his way to England, then to Ireland to get back to New Zealand. He has all kinds of good stories of shit and how Europe mishandled lockdowns like we did here ourselves.
Alright, we should probably get back on topicā¦ didnāt even realize weāre in the TFAW Variants topicā¦
