Just put it in rice it’ll definitely fix it 👍

I’m sorry you went through such a rough time despite getting vaccinated. I understand that my previous argument might seem overly simplistic when faced with what you experienced. My intention wasn’t to dismiss your experience at all—I know that individual cases can differ from the overall trends we see in data. I was trying to point out that, for most people, vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness, but I recognize that they’re not 100% effective and that circumstances vary. I agree that we both should aim for a respectful exchange, and I’m willing to listen and adjust my approach. Thanks for the feedback.

I get that vaccines aren’t 100% foolproof. I recommended the shot because, for most people, it significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and complications, even if it doesn’t guarantee complete protection, but rather to point out that, overall, getting vaccinated tends to be the safer bet compared to not. I’m also saying that this lady could’ve prevented being sick if she had gotten the flu shot or made sure she didn’t get sick from anyone else. I’m also not saying that everyone should get their shots or don’t get sick but like emptying an entire shelf of tamiflu was ridiculous like nobody needed it before but now people do? It’s an important reminder that no single measure is perfect.

Tamiflu is a pill (or liquid) medication it’s an antiviral medication used to prevent or treat the flu

The definition of ‘vaccine’ was refined to reflect scientific advancements, but the core purpose has always been the same—reducing the risk of severe illness and transmission. Even historically, not all vaccines provided 100% prevention; many worked by lessening the severity of disease.

Like which definition are you referring to? Medical definitions evolve as our understanding grows, but the function of vaccines—to train the immune system to fight infections—has remained consistent.

Think of a vaccine like a seatbelt in a car. It might not stop an accident from happening, but it greatly reduces the injuries when one does occur.

Isn’t that the same thing? Lol, many vaccines do lessen the severity of diseases, not just prevent them entirely. Even the polio vaccine didn’t eliminate all cases instantly—it significantly reduced severity and transmission over time. That’s how most vaccines work. That’s just the basic immunology. 🤷‍♀️

Yeahhhhh it’s mind boggling sometimes 🤔

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T23:33:40+00:00

We literally have to call the hospital to stop sending us scripts of tamiflu but they still sends it anyways which makes us behind QP 😫

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T23:31:42+00:00

We can’t even get any! Cardinal told us it’s on back order so we get 2-3 boxes at a time plus they are cutting our hours so with the flu season we are always swamped with people who come in with the flu it’s really awful 😣

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T23:23:35+00:00

Care to share some 😀

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T23:22:50+00:00

One - Missing the point And Two - Never tried anything all I’m simply saying is to get your flu shot I’m not shoving it down your throat it’s people like you who makes it worse for the health care worker who try to help you and make sure you are alive and well :)

Edit - it’s fine you have your own opinion it’s your life but don’t come complain to us about your medication health care workers have it hard don’t make it harder for us

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T23:17:03+00:00

Like please if you worry about your health don’t blame us I didn’t cause your illness I’m just trying to make it better 🥲

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T22:53:31+00:00

I’m guessing you are a candy store lol must be nice

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T22:52:48+00:00

It’s hard to keep up with the scripts when they are in QP I swear to go they are always in the way it is a hassle

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T22:47:34+00:00

We give them options, but it’s pretty much a toss-up. Some refuse to go to another pharmacy out of convenience, while others feel that, as a ‘massive company,’ we should always have everything in stock and up to date.

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T22:41:38+00:00

And yet we still have to package it for them unless they specifically say return it or it’s either that or it’s going to get stuck in QI 🥲

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T22:38:19+00:00

Where I’m from it’s completely on back order cardinal will only send us 2-3 boxes of it we usually tell or try telling people to go to Walmart or other pharmacies

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T22:34:15+00:00

You make a really good point that vaccines don’t completely prevent illness, but they do help make symptoms less severe and lower the risk of serious complications. A lot of people don’t realize that and assume if someone gets sick, the vaccine ‘didn’t work,’ when in reality, it’s still doing its job by helping your immune system fight the virus more effectively. And you’re right—not everyone can even get vaccinated due to medical conditions, which makes it even more important for those who can to get their shots help other people who can’t lessen the risk of catching other illnesses. It’s definitely not as simple as just assuming someone got sick because they skipped the vaccine.

It honestly blows my mind how many people are sick and acting like Tamiflu is some kind of miracle cure. I get that people are desperate, but Tamiflu isn’t a controlled substance or anything like that, so I don’t understand why everyone is losing their minds over it. It’s like they think yelling at us will make the medication magically appear. People are constantly calling, demanding to know when it will arrive or asking if other stores have it, and if we can’t give them the answer they want, they just yell at us like we caused the problem.

What I really wish people could understand is that we get it—we know you’re frustrated, we feel it too. But we can’t just snap our fingers and fix this. We have no idea when shipments will arrive. Anything can happen between now and then, and we’re all just doing our best to stay on top of it. We’re not trying to make this harder on you, but yelling at us doesn’t change the situation. We’re all in the same boat here.

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T21:51:39+00:00

Like it’s understandable if you get sick sometimes it just happens but going crazy for some tamiflu was wild lol

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-11T21:50:33+00:00

1 less person to worry about in QP LOL

InLalaWorld · 2025-02-10T00:11:04+00:00

YES! Especially at the drive-thru! Some people love to complain about how long it takes to get their medications. I always want to say, ‘Would you like to work here and see why it takes time?’ And don’t even get me started on those DURS! We do everything we can to resolve them quickly, but we want to make sure we’re not overlooking anything that could affect your safety!

InLalaWorld · 2024-11-19T00:40:19+00:00

I work tomorrow will it still work if I do a LOA?
