Many Evergreen Family Medicine doctors (the county's largest) aren't vaccinated, Mercy hospital board member Powell (owns EFM with his brother) is anti-mask and for "natural" herd immunity since the beginning of the pandemic, all doing harm to the community.

I left my former Dr. yesterday during an appointment, disgusted.

This was the first in-person visit in 20 months and I asked for telemedicine (declined). I'm immuno-compromised, he's not vaccinated, and never was I told such, putting me at risk. Furthermore, at no point was I asked about my vaccination status. At least he was masked - a state mandate for health care providers.

This major community health network is helping to drive the spread of covid, violating their hippocratic oath. People go away saying their doctor is cool with natural herd immunity, screw vaccination.

As I left, I told my doctor he's going to be damn busy over the next month, what I thought about their moral and ethical accountability.

Now I must find a new doctor in Eugene.

She was telling me that Oregon had a lottery for 12- to 17-year olds who had had at least one Covid vaccination shot. Five children each won $100,000 college scholarships from the lottery. And one of the winners is the grand-niece of my sister's wife. That is so cool! What a great idea for a lottery!

Whoa, it just hit me - we have a lady on the forum whose name is Karen, and she has suffered SO MUCH from the recent trend of calling people Karens. She NEVER asked to see the manager.

But we also have a lady whose name is Delta. I can't imagine what she's going through.

I didn't know I was supposed to get an official card, too. Yeah, I was distraught over the loss of the original Fogbow, but not enough that I would mess something like that up. I'm actually pretty organized about stuff and I never really lose anything.

My father in law gave me a watch once. Ten years later, I misplaced it. But since I never really lose anything, I wasn't too upset about it, and sure enough, two years after that I found it on top of a bookshelf. Why did I put it on a bookshelf? Some mysteries are never solved.

But I'll keep pestering the bureaucracy until I get the card. I don't think I need it to travel to Seattle on Wednesday, but I may travel to Europe next summer, so I've got almost a year to get them to cough it up.

No biggie. I'm also working on getting a third jab, for the Delta variant.
