Me: "May I please have the package insert for the flu vaccine?"

Rite-Aid Pharmacist: "Why?"

Me: "So I can read it."

P: "Which one?"

Me: "The one advertised with the little banners on every aisle."

P: "I will print you the information sheet."

Me: "No, that's not the same thing."

P: "What do you want to know? I can tell you."

Me: "I would just like to read the whole thing before I consider getting one...side effects, contraindications, effectiveness, ingredients like mercury."

P: "I don't think I have any. Let me check. (checks) Sorry, I can't give you one until the box is empty, because it has to stay in the box. And there isn't any thimerisol in the single dose flu shot any more. I can print you the information sheet."

Pharmacy co-worker with big smile at me: "Hi, I found one." (hands insert to me)

***

Here are some things in the insert not on the store's sheet:

1. The single dose vial contains mercury at ≤1mcg (This is called a "trace amount" by the industry.) The multi-vial contains 25 mcg.

2. People with egg allergies are contraindicated.

3. "Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers and children under four. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. This vaccine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known whether fluvarin is excreted in human milk."

4. "Fluvarin has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility."

5. "Antibody response is low in the geriatric population."

6. "Serious reactions, including anaphylactic shock, have been observed."

7. "There are no data to assess the concomitant administration of flu vaccine with other vaccines."

8. "The vaccine has been associated with an increased frequency of Guillain-Barre syndrome."

9. "In some studies, fluvarin protected up to 50% of subjects."

With love to those who read this far. Please share. 👊🏼

No one needs a #Flu shot!

@JohnstonPilgrim Take the win. 😎

@miles_commodore Honest to God, I saw a cashier so confused about making change she told the customer to “just reach into the cash drawer and take what you think you get back.”

@RealJamesWoods @FBIDirectorKash You know you’re doing something right when they come after you like this. Good job. 👍🏼

VERY SAD NEWS !!!!
This is so disappointing…

CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black," the African-American version of "Snow White" has been cancelled!

All of the seven dwarfs:
Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive- By, Homeboy & Shank have refused to sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" because they say it offends black street walkers. They also say there ain't no way in hell they're gonna sing "It's off to work we go." 🤣

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@miles_commodore Honestly, I need to do better with this.

[Steve 🇺🇸 @SteveLovesAmmo]

I just want the same deportation policy as Martha’s Vineyard has.

That isn’t too much to ask for.

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@GuntherEagleman Let me know when/if any Accountability happens

@ZoeGutier I stayed in a mid-level house close(but not on) the beach. Supposedly slept 11 people

“Fully stocked” kitchen meant 6 cheap forks, no serving utensils, one tiny frying pan and one larger pan that looked like it had been run over by a car.

@jeffreytucker If nothing else tells you the man is unbalanced, this diary certainly does. 🙄

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@backlessdress26 After a basic “boys have a penis and girls have a vagina” talk, a young boy proudly told his friends that he had a penis and girls have have a “Big China”. 🤷‍♀️😁

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@GioBruno1600 I don’t even want him to sing

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@GioBruno1600 It’s said that at some point in your life, you’ll get the face you truly deserve. This proves the point. 👀

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@TansuYegen My 65 year old legs & knees see this and think “No way!”

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@michael_texan @NiedsG I’ve slapped you in the prayerbox, please keep me posted. ❤️

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@michael_texan @NiedsG Yes, it is, but
it’s important that you fight like Hell until the fight is over. Don’t let the bastards win without getting in a few throat punches.

[Melinda Proza @melinda_proza]

@FFT1776 Unfortunately I don’t think that’s true. Several people have been caught in egregious lies and behaviors and they all skate right past it, untouched.
