Hi Folks....new member here.....I have been vaccinated x3, and fortunately have avoided covid infection thus far. I live in a Senior's residence, and we have had a recent spike in infections in the residence, which began with an unvaccinated individual.....Five people have contracted the virus, but all have recovered. One resident, a retired RN(who worked on a SARS ward in Toronto during 2003). who had been vaccinated, said she became so ill, she figures if she hadnt been vaccinated, she would have had to gone to hospital and possibly ventilated. I believe Covid is here to stay, we are simply experiencing a lull in the general public due to our weather improving.....I am at the stage I have zero sympathy for those folks who pass from covid who weren't vaccinated(unless due to a medical reason) If people dont have enough proof that vaccination saves lives by now.....then there really is no helping them, is there?.......
If you go to the top of the page it should allow you to sort by "recent activity." So, any topics that have new comments/activity will be at the top of the forum page.
If you mean that you want the comments to be posted, newest to oldest, that's not a setting that we can change.
SAVers, your words and imagery help bring sanity, levity, information, and humanity to those of us who are willing and able to absorb your message. Thanks to Vaxman and Vaxlady for the unrelenting work of providing a forum, and thanks to HCAman as well, for his work. As others have said, this site is like the court jester, the story of the emperor's new clothes, and the munchkins' triumphant song after the death of the wicked witch. You mock antisocial behavior. It's gallows humor, but it's in service to human health and lives, it helps expose the cost to society of misinformation and disinformation campaigns, and it gives voice to the frustration we feel as a result of this societal insanity. I have a concern that I have not seen expressed here, but maybe I just missed it. I’m wondering whether SAVers are good at sniffing out anyone who might pose as friendly but who in fact may have bad intentions. I see SAVers having casual banter about fairly specific geographical locations, etc. Might a person or organization that's hostile to SAV try to send in (to the on-line commentary) a friendly lackey to serve as a Trojan horse? The lackey's job would be to gain your trust and confidence, make you feel relaxed and affirmed, and lightheartedly coax seemingly innocuous but ultimately useful personal info out of you. I worry about SAVers being approached privately or in a group sometime later on and being subjected to harassment designed to discourage you from contributing your voice to the SAV site. This may just be my hyperventilating imagination. It's not based on knowledge, evidence, expertise, or experience. I'm sorry to be such a cold wet blanket, but I think I'd feel worse if I had this worry and didn't express it. I won't harp on this. Be careful, stay safe, don't lose heart, and vote for democracy!
Some people are fighting back against religious indoctrination and are using the Republican’s own bills to do so. One recently signed into law by DeSantis has come back to bite him in the ass
Thank you, VaxMan. Please don't forget us little people when you hit the big-time. This site is full of some great content well beyond the idiots culling themselves. I will likely need a 12 step program should it shut down. 😁 Kidding, sort of.
Thank you, Vaxman! I can see that this forum could very well consume a lot of my time. LOL...I will have to keep an eye on that or other tasks are not going to get done.
Great to hear from you Vaxman! A while ago you said “I actually can't wait for the day that I can shut this site down because of irrelevance”. Unfortunately for the antivaxxers, that day might never come. Fortunately for us, now that there is a forum, you can’t shut this site down - we won’t allow it!
"Maisha Grinn" is my nom de snark, but I am a Patreon supporter of your fine efforts under my so-called "real" identity. There is not much that I enjoy in this crazy world, but SAV is among those things which give me true pleasure!
Welcome back, Vaxman! BTW, if you have a membership request from a yahoo account UK7558, please disregard it. It was me. I saved my login info on Opera and was using Firefox and THOUGHT that perhaps I could log in with FB.
Please delete my account.

Yes, can we please have the most recent post at the top of the page, not the oldest post. 😅
Facts
Vaxxman, the comments should show NEWEST first.

Watch out Vaxman! With all these awesome new features, Elon is going to try to buy up your site next!
The comedy writes itself with facebook cut and paste.
Vaxman, appreciate you.

Thanks for having us Vaxman.👍
Thank you, Vaxman! Props to Vaxlady & the entire HCS Crew, Too!

Yaaaaay! I am so happy there is finally a forum. It gets hard to keep up with replies on posts.
Thank you for the forum! It was a dream of mine to be able to write about other things than those ignorant AVers we're always dissing.
