I've been seeing people claim that people that don't want to mix their Pfizer or Moderna doses with the opposite for their 2nd jab are entitled, selfish assholes who they hope catch covid.
We're the only country that I know of that is treating our citizens as guinea pigs to this extent as far as I know. The CDC recommends against it. Some countries aren't counting a mixed dose (not AZ mixes, apparently those have been tested) for vaccine passport purposes.
Idk. Personally I don't think it's selfish at all to want to wait a little longer (at this point it's not long before it becomes super easy to get either one) to ensure your health doesn't suffer for it. The rates are already so low (in my area, anyway), and I feel like most essential workers that were planning on getting a vaccine at all have already gotten both. Anyone WFH isn't very likely to spread it imo.
It's just frustrating how people will tell you to drink the koolaid, eat the bugs, step in line or you're an awful person who deserves to suffer for it.
Idk if I can link here but go to the Ottawa subreddit and look at all the threads with multiple hundreds of comments hating on people that just want to ensure their health isn't damaged by an untested mixed vaccine. Where is the empathy?

Ooh, that's good info, thanks for correcting me on that, I hadn't heard.
I know all those reddit commenters would insist this is an exceptional circumstance but I'm not sure I agree lol.
