    A five cubic foot chest freezer is $179 at Sam's. Those will easily do -10 to about -15.

    Cannot be a frost free freezer, is about the biggest requirement, other than the ability to reach temp. The freezer will have to be monitired...That's a $45 digital thermometer with the probe in a small bottle of glycerin, and the ability to show the high and low temp. Have somebody log the temp each morning, and check off that the high temp was not exceeded.

    Viola! Vaccine access at your local doc...

      It’s a ridiculous argument at this point anyway. There are millions of doses of vaccine that require no special refrigeration, it is simple enough to acquire the vaccines that do require it, and who better to talk to the reticent?

          We have an extended family member who wouldn’t get vaccinated, think young. We all told that person, that’s fine but don’t come around. That fixed it.

          Wouldn't it just be easier to chase them down on the street and shoot them?

            And if your primary concern is Vaccine resistant variants, even if you had 100% vaccination in the US, there are still billions of unvaccinated out there. Forcing vaccination wouldn’t accomplish anything yet.

              If you can’t even get vaccinated you really have decided to give society the middle finger and without logical reasoning. It’s effort to listen to anything that person has to say after they have made that choice. In fact I won’t anymore.

                  Some things are self evident and the smartest people on the planet with subject matter expertise are all in alignment and then there is a faction that cannot articulate a cogent reason ro not take the vaccine. As I’ve said before, when you jump the shark that hard you are going to lose the edge of your base who listened on a number of topics and now are revisiting every conspiracy theory and alt news as malarkey.

                    I plan to get vaccinated, but I have no particularly strong judgements of the psyches of those who don't want to.

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Got my second shot a couple of hours ago.

                      I already felt morally superior to pretty much everybody, so it hasn't really affected me.

                      I was only joking

                          And yet 147 million people have taken at least one dose, one of the biggest databases of all time and we can look at cold hard facts of cases and deaths and opening our economy and opportunity to slow the stimulus. So maybe all those people will grow a fin on their head in a year or have mutant children but if that’s the case it’s already over.

                            Do you think a few people not wanting to take the vaccine will affect the re-opening of the society, Loki?

                              At this point I think it doesn’t. What I worry about is the longer the virus is around the more it mutates and the possibility of having an emergency booster shot roll out sooner than we are ready and another round of cases and deaths. Also having to read and debate Covid and vaccines is exhausting and the thought of another round of every country heard from is just exhausting.

                              So I want to go to back to pre-pandemic living and make sure it’s in our rear view mirror.

                                And if your primary concern is Vaccine resistant variants, even if you had 100% vaccination in the US, there are still billions of unvaccinated out there. Forcing vaccination wouldn’t accomplish anything yet.

                                If you can’t even get vaccinated you really have decided to give society the middle finger and without logical reasoning. It’s effort to listen to anything that person has to say after they have made that choice. In fact I won’t anymore.

                                Your choice, but who is the bigger idiot?

                                Some things are self evident and the smartest people on the planet with subject matter expertise are all in alignment and then there is a faction that cannot articulate a cogent reason ro not take the vaccine. As I’ve said before, when you jump the shark that hard you are going to lose the edge of your base who listened on a number of topics and now are revisiting every conspiracy theory and alt news as malarkey.

                                Let me give you some immutable, unassailable facts:

                                1. Not everybody is going to be vaccinated. Ever.
                                2. Viruses mutate. What works this year may not work next year.
                                3. COVID is here for the foreseeable future.
                                4. The available vaccines do not protect you from catching COVID. Therefore, the chance exists.
                                5. Some people cannot take the vaccine. Period.

                                Now, some opinions...

                                1. One cannot live a good life constantly filled with fear. Every action in life contains risk, either physical, emotional or both. One weighs the risks and then you proceed. I went to a gospel singing last Friday night. It was a blessing and I enjoyed the fool out of myself. Was everybody in there vaccinated? No, they weren't.
                                2. The world is not going to wait to resume normal life. We are going to accept COVID deaths as normal, and just get on with it. Doesn't mean those deaths or illnesses are less tragic. It just means they will be a normal facet of life. One wag said that would be when COVID deaths were less than those from heart disease.
                                3. When you start cutting family out over a vaccination, you didn't have much in the way of family to begin with.

As far as family goes I understand what you said based on what I said but I have always said family comes first and we handled the outlier and brought that person to their senses. We don’t believe in enablement and it’s the family’s obligation to correct errant thinking baecause no one else will and competition with social media is getting fierce.

                                      And if your primary concern is Vaccine resistant variants, even if you had 100% vaccination in the US, there are still billions of unvaccinated out there. Forcing vaccination wouldn’t accomplish anything yet.

                                      If you can’t even get vaccinated you really have decided to give society the middle finger and without logical reasoning. It’s effort to listen to anything that person has to say after they have made that choice. In fact I won’t anymore.

                                      Your choice, but who is the bigger idiot?

                                      Some things are self evident and the smartest people on the planet with subject matter expertise are all in alignment and then there is a faction that cannot articulate a cogent reason ro not take the vaccine. As I’ve said before, when you jump the shark that hard you are going to lose the edge of your base who listened on a number of topics and now are revisiting every conspiracy theory and alt news as malarkey.

                                      Let me give you some immutable, unassailable facts:

                                      1. Not everybody is going to be vaccinated. Ever.
                                      2. Viruses mutate. What works this year may not work next year.
                                      3. COVID is here for the foreseeable future.
                                      4. The available vaccines do not protect you from catching COVID. Therefore, the chance exists.
                                      5. Some people cannot take the vaccine. Period.

                                      Now, some opinions...

                                      1. One cannot live a good life constantly filled with fear. Every action in life contains risk, either physical, emotional or both. One weighs the risks and then you proceed. I went to a gospel singing last Friday night. It was a blessing and I enjoyed the fool out of myself. Was everybody in there vaccinated? No, they weren't.
                                      2. The world is not going to wait to resume normal life. We are going to accept COVID deaths as normal, and just get on with it. Doesn't mean those deaths or illnesses are less tragic. It just means they will be a normal facet of life. One wag said that would be when COVID deaths were less than those from heart disease.
                                      3. When you start cutting family out over a vaccination, you didn't have much in the way of family to begin with.

                                      My point of view has always been informed by keeping the economy open as much as possible, that is on record. I’ve never let fear rule my life. As far as family goes I understand what you said based on what I said but I have always said family comes first and we handled the outlier and brought that person to their senses. We don’t believe in enablement and it’s the family’s obligation to correct errant thinking baecause no one else will and competition with social media is getting fierce.

                                      That's not enablement, that's coercion.

                                      Big difference.

                                      I meant enablement as enabling thinking about it all wrong. It’s one’s duty to challenge defective thinking. Heck I could be wrong the vaccine could be bad and my body my choice might be the right way to think of it.

                                        One huge problem with people, is that when they hear the word "vaccine" , they think of something like smallpox, measles or polio...Vaccines that provide immunity against a disease.

                                        None of the COVID vaccines will do that...

                                        Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                                          I'm getting my first Moderna shot next week. If I die from complications, I am going to sue their asses off.

                                          Education is extremely important.
