So just what is in that random Covid shot?

[fortyshooter]

Just caught the story on our local news... a area grocery store,a big one, in our area was hosting a Covid vaccine event and somehow it was found that a group
of the vaccines were just a saline solution and not the real thing!!! Well the store doesn't fill the vials so that leaves the company that loads the vials.
Who knows how much of that is out there cause nobody checking each shot!

Double blind real world experiment on the general population. Gotta have a placebo for that. The government has done this before.

But it was just a mistake that the batch of saline got mixed up with the real shipment. Our bad. Sorry 'bout that.

Not buying that? Well then the story is FAKENEWS. Yeah, that's it. FAKENEWS.

On our local news WWBT. Might take them some time to post the link and will watch for it again a 6 PM. Kroger was the store.
But it could happen any place. Don't know how they discovered it.

Here is the latest update on that report.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WWBT) - Kroger says a small number of people who came to the Little Clinic at their location off of Midlothian Turnpike to get their COVID-19 vaccines ended up getting a saline shot.

In a statement to NBC12 News, the company says it was an “honest mistake.” They went on to say, “All impacted customers were contacted and have now received the COVID-19 vaccine. We apologize for this oversight and the inconvenience caused for these customers.”

Kroger also didn’t specify how many people were impacted by this mix-up, only saying it was a small number of people.

Carrie Hawes was one of the people who received this saline shot.

Hawes qualifies for the shot under Group 1B for people 65 and younger with underlying health issues.

She said got an appointment to visit the Kroger location on Monday night to get the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 shot. The next day, Hawes got a phone call from the store she wasn’t expecting.

“Talked to a manager right away and they explained that there had been a mistake made - that we had been given saline only. There was no vaccination material,” Hawes said. “My initial reaction was shock and surprise, and a little anxiety.”

Within two hours of this call, Hawes came back to the Kroger location to get her vaccine. Throughout the process, Hawes says the store was transparent about the situation.

“They were very clear with me when we went in,” she said. “They showed us the vial to make sure it was Johnson and Johnson, pulled out the vaccine, she showed me again.”

Hawes hopes her experience doesn’t keep people from getting their COVID-19 vaccines.

“Yes, it’s unfortunate that a mistake happened, but it was a small number of people. The situation was fixed,” said Hawes. “I get that it’s been a long year and there isn’t a lot of trust sometimes in our systems and the process, but I think everyone has the best intentions and the end result is to get as many people as we can vaccinated, as quickly as we can so we can all be protective of our community.”

Kroger also says they’re not charging customers for the vaccine itself. They said they’re billing a customer’s insurance for the administration fee and that there’s no payment due at the time that a customer receives a vaccine.

We are proud of the more than 836,000 COVID-19 vaccinations our Kroger Health and The Little Clinic teams have administered to date across the country. Kroger encourages everyone to receive whichever vaccine is available to them at the earliest point they become eligible.

One of our TLC locations made an honest mistake and administered saline shots instead of the COVID-19 vaccine. All impacted customers were contacted and have now received the COVID-19 vaccine. We apologize for this oversight and the inconvenience caused for these customers.

This was immediately addressed with the TLC team and all vaccinators were retrained and reminded of our current vaccination policies.

Yep. All a big mistake. See my previous.

Bad news, it was saline. Good news, it was saline rather than something deadly. This is one example of why I don't like the idea of
grocery, retail stores, dispensing drugs. Wreck looking for a place to happen.

[Oldbrass]

And was that actually cows milk in that jug or something from the bull ?

[fortyshooter]

Latest on this is that some of the syringes were empty. Now is the vaccine mixed with saline solution or were they dry empty and filled with saline solution???? They didn't explain on the Noon news what empty was.

And y'all want to know why I refuse this crap.
Yeah they can shove it.

Next time it might be something toxic. Nope.
Not worth it, I trust nothing that this goberment does.

Somebody's got some 'splaining to do.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you hit that "Warp Speed" button. I'm not surprised.
