LOS ANGELES – Health officials said Saturday that COVID-19 vaccination appointments for next week are available in Los Angeles County for those who qualify.
For county residents seeking their first dose, “appointments from February 1 -7 are now available,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health tweeted. “Residents will be able to book their first and second dose appointments at the same time.
Officials said email confirmations are being sent out for those seeking a second-dose appointment. “If you have not received an email yet, it will be sent soon,” the department tweeted. “We appreciate your patience.”
People currently eligible to get vaccinated in the county are health care workers, long-term care facility residents and those aged 65 and over. Vaccination appointments can be booked online at vaccinatelacounty.com or by calling 833-530-0473 between 8 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
The county’s chief science officer, Dr. Paul Simon, said that most recent figures show a total of 719,138 doses of vaccine have been administered in the county, including nearly 595,000 first doses and more than 124,000 second doses of the two-dose regimen. While a large number, the total represents a fraction of the more than 2 million people currently eligible to get vaccinated in the county. Since each person requires two doses, that equates to more than 4 million doses.
Simon acknowledged concerns that have arisen in recent days regarding availability of the second doses, as residents struggle to make appointments. Simon said anyone who gets their first dose at a county or city operated site should immediately be given an appointment for a second dose at the same location. Those who did not will be contacted by email.

Pointless having appointments available next week when it takes three weeks to actually speak with someone to make the appointment in the first place.

… thing is, it’s not a vaccine. A genetic modification agent cloaked as a vaccine, it’s a hot dose of messenger RNA that, once taken, you become a GMO (e.g., genetically modified organism). It’s formulated, to deliver a knockout blow to COVID-19’s payload (e.g., its protein spikes). It does not (NOT) immunize you from anything, much less the coronavirus –

They lie about the virus, they lie about our elections, they lie about the stock market, they lie about the vaccine, they lie about everything. The local mechanic living it up overcharging me isn’t on the level.

Drink cheap red wine. Lots and lots of cheap red wine. There’s a thought the resveratrol molecule in red wine inhibits reverse transcriptase, stunting the mRNA gent from a potential biogenetic hazard, splicing itself permanently into your DNA. If you take the vaccine, dose up your daily intake of vitamin A and D. Drink red wine.

You are close, Frankie, but you diverged from the methodology and came to the incorrect conclusion about the conferred immunity.
You are correct in the use of the mRNA to tell the body’s cells to start temporarily producing copies of the spike protein that COVID uses to invade. The spike proteins, in themselves, are harmless, but they do activate the body’s immune system to go after them. In doing so, the body gains significant immunity from the virus that uses that spike protein to invade with by defeating its attack mechanism. In this case, that would be the COVID virus, as it uses said protein to be able to invade our cells.
