Tuesday Mumbles: The Omicron Strain

Good Evening Everyone, It’s ya boy choujin here.

Welp, we got a new strain of Covid…this time Omicron.

For those unaware, a few days ago, news outlets on this new strain coming out of South Africa. Already folks are calling out the variant as a new hoax due to the sudden announcement while others are worried that we may never be able to rid ourselves with Covid and that we’ll have the nightmare like with the current Delta strain that wracks through it.

Though I have a feeling that we are a bit more prepared this time to avoid any problems. We’re not going to have a repeat of 2020 with purple tier where everything is shut down and everything paused. I should know cuz I had to wait until this year to finish up my NCCT exams. However, what i’m seeing is that people are being cautious when it comes to Covid and that we can enjoy our lives without living in fear as long as we are cautious.

My worry is that we still have that particular camp that is still willing to take weird rituals, hoax medicines and alternative news that will, like now, make the virus worse. They only want to go back to normal, but without any safety nets and have us back to 2020’s purple tier mess. Though this time, they’d take the advice of others and just pretend it never exists. Seriously, folks need to know that we’re not out of the woods yet.

From ya boy’s perspective, we need to not worry about Omicron yet..but neither should we take it lightly. Keep up practicing safe distancing, get your booster and make sure you pay attention and not believe fake news on garbage. Also, make sure you do what is required and not buy a fake vaccine card.

It’s the only true way that we can make Covid managable and maybe something that’s not as dangerous.

Tuesday Mumbles: Horse Medicine

Hey everyone, it’s ya boy Choujin here.

Now I’ve seen some real stupid shit throughout my life whether it be scenes from Jackass where Steve-O snorted Wasabi up his nose to more stupid things like kids doing the “OutletChallenge” or “Fire Challenge”.

But this..this gets ya boy’s blood boiling big time. It’s related to Covid-19 and folks still denying the effectiveness of the vaccine. But get this stupidity! Their new “Cure to Covid” is Ivermectin.

For those unaware, Ivermectin is a medicine used basically as a dewormer for livestock. Anti-vaxxers are pushing this as the cure for Covid, even forming groups on Facebook to push this. Though ironically, they’re nearly crapping out their intestinal lining and even losing vision in their eyes. Not something good if I do say and they make claims that the vaccine will kill people? Excuse me..but I’ve taken both of those shots and the worst I got from it was an icky feeling and maybe a pustule on my finger (but that was unrelated to the virus and due to having a splinter there prior to my shot). Also, no rightful doctor would ever prescribe dewormers for a repertory virus.

So for those who are hesitant on the shot, I would suggest that you get the vaccine. Unvaccination makes it very difficult for us to reopen and return back to normal. Worst off, it allows more variants like the Delta variant to exist and even evolve further. Also places like PublicHealth and Mayo Clinic will provide you information that debunks plenty of those issues.

The longer we are stuck in this, the harder it is to fight the variant and eliminate Covid. It’s not something ya boy wants to live for the rest of his life. In fact, to take the advice of the CDC from a Twitter post:


And those who are adamant on taking horse meds to cure covid? well…

Seriously, if you’re willing to deal with crapped briefs, losing your vision and heavy shakes because you’re afraid that your eggs or sperm are going to be augmented by some vaccine, then you really are a fool who will believe anything that’s not science.

By the way..I have THE Holy Grail I can sell you guys if you’re interested…


But with that, that’s my two cents on this whole ordeal

Tuesday Mumbles: Vaccine Briberies

Written By TheChoujinVirus

Note: The following is based on my own opinion. So do not take it too personally if you dislike them.








Happy Tuesday everyone, it’s ya boy Choujin here.
Everybody’s been getting shots so far some have both and some have their first. Though what gets ya boy curious is how some are still refusing to get these shots.
So what do states do to get these people to get their shots? Well..as I shown here, some of them are going the rout of essentially bribing folks.


How are states doing this? Well..you have your classical things like payments, even weird things like lottery ticket drawings for a million dollars to things like free beer once we reach to normalcy. Free donuts or even hotwings for those that get their vaccine.


Now, ya boy is someone who doesn’t mind a free beer or food for those who get their first/second shot, that’s something okay. Doctors give kids a lollipop or toy for being good. However, high monetary value?! Eeeh, that’s something that’s an extremely dangerous game that ya boy thinks is very sus.

If you have to bribe people with money to get a shot…that’s going to lead to people only doing it to get free handouts and some may try to scam stuff to get extra money. Folks can become real world Warios the moment they could grease their hands with money. What makes it worse is that some folks can get scammed as they chase this little pocket of gold.

Now for things like food, beer or something that isn’t cash or value can be something of a good incentive to help people out. I could maybe suggest things like discounts on groceries or even a big mac would be something that could be. However, even I suspect that could be abused. It almost feels like ya boy doesn’t know what he’s talking about or even know any true answer.

Though some folks, including ya boy’s grandmother, said that it may be a good incentive to get people to get the shot (even if it means paying people.)

I do respect her wish, but it just doesn’t feel right to pay someone just to get a shot. Feels a bit mercenary. As I said, I would rather stick to either free food or discounts for things like that or groceries could be something of a bit more of value that doesn’t feel wrong.

Though, in my honest opinion, having to use any incentive for something like a shot shouldn’t be be something to get a shot to begin with.

Does ya boy know what the right answer is? I don’t know, but as my grandmother told me, “If it gets folks their shot and gets us back to normal? Then Let them.”

Tuesday Mumbles: Vaccination

Written by TheChoujinVirus

Note: the following is based on my own opinions, so don’t take them personal if you feel offended by them.


Hello, It’s ya boy Choujin here, and today’s another Tuesday.


However, today ya boy’s got his second vaccine for Covid-19, which means that I’m fully immunized. However, i’m sure some of are on their first shot for the week while others like myself are on their second and final shot. Though one thing I heard this morning was that there was something wrong with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine (Ya boy here got the Pfizer vaccine, so that’s not a problem.) What was the cause this time? Yup..you heard it, it was blood clotting.

One thing has ya boy scratching his head: how come these things are surfacing up? I understand that complications happen, but people aren’t really the kind who might do their research. To quote Agent K from Men in Black:

“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.”

Folks get scared of this shit and might end up avoiding the vaccine because they’re afraid of getting sick or dying from the vaccine due to some side effect. With the fear of a fourth wave of Covid-19 showing up and the fears of variant strains that could put a hamper on this virus.


What does ya boy think should happen? Well, first, maybe some further testing on future Covid vaccines in order to ensure that some of these problems do not slip through the cracks and get ourselves hurt. There are some people outside that will prey on that kind of crap and can become something they can use to push the idea that these vaccines are poison (when they’re not.)

Another, that i’ve noticed and glad they do, is reassure that the shots won’t cause those symptoms or problems. One version of the vaccine that causes it doesn’t mean that the rest of them will do the same thing as the others. Besides, the worst I’ve gotten was headaches and pains and fevers. Other than that, it’s not a big deal.


So for those who got the J&J vaccine, make sure to keep yourselves checked up for any bad reactions. Those that are fearful of the vaccine, do not freak out as you won’t get anything lethal from this. Those that want to push some conspiracy well then…

Tuesday Mumbles: 2020 In a Nutshell

Note: The following is based on my own opinions. Do not feel offended if you find them hitting too close to home.

Happy Tuesday (or Wednesday by the time this is posted.) It’s Ya boy Choujin here.

2020 is nearly on its way out and perhaps maybe all the problems it brought with us due to the whole situations. It wasn’t a good way to start off a new decade. I mean, we got our issues with major problems like diseases, political turmoil and many other issues that show up during this whole mess of 2020. I could give many but we’ll focus on some of the major issues that showed up.

Let’s start off with the 200 lb viral elephant in the room: Covid-19. I’ve already made several opinions throughout this year of all the news and stupidity of how our political administration, those that support them and various others have had a bunch of nuttery that makes me scratch my head when looking back at this. First off, you had people pretending the virus never existed (though karmic, they’ve found out this virus is oh so real.) Then you got people throwing fits over rules and such that make them look like ignorant douchebags as nobody wants to be affected by it. Those things get a bit crazy

Besides that mess with Covid, we still have to deal with the outcome of the election. Those still sucking on those copium inhalants are still holding out that somehow that Trump will win this fight (Here’s a secret, he’s not going to be winning this at all.) However, those folks are just as stubborn as Jets fans thinking that the team will win. (no offense to NY Jets Fans out there.) However, it’s going to be something that folks won’t let go and will be talked about for years to come. If folks were waiting for a Civil War, folks might assume we are on the cusp of it. However, the Copium is flowing and that means those boasting about wanting a fight are all bark and no bite

However, 2020 isn’t too bad. Despite those two major examples, the wildfires in California and even overseas issues, we’ve seen the good that has shown. When the Pandemic began to grow rampant, people joined hand in hand to help each other out in one way or another through donations, crafting or even money. Politically, the election of Biden has given some people hope that the US can mend itself, even if it takes a long time. It’s like opening Pandora’s Box: Even though it had all the misery of the world, it also held hope.
And Hope..is such a splendid thing.
All I have to say that is we need to make sure that 2021 doesn’t become another 2020. Hopefully that next year will bring some good things and allow us to move on from this virus, from this political fighting and from this whole 2020 mess.

Tuesday’s Mumble: Quarentine 2: Electric Boogaloo

Happy Tuesday everyone, it’s ya boy Choujin here.

What a November! We got ourselves a new president (despite a few people crying about the results and outcome.) World of Warcraft Shadowlands is live (and i’m enjoying this while working on the story that was suppose to be due last week.) However, we got a new round two into Covid-19. Ya Boy’s not too happy about the outcome. More than just things getting backhanded (Ya Boy was suppose to be finished with an NCCT quiz for his class but due to Covid, it’s been delayed until further notice.)

For those who are curious, my state of California has rolled back to the Purple tier (widespread) when we were in the red tier (substantial). We were hoping to get to the Orange tier (moderate) but that went to hell in a handbasket. Thus because of this, alot of stuff is now shutdown and thus we need to hunker down again (though ya boy is lucky his gym is open in this pandemic). Though why have we shut down? With everything going on so well? Lemmie tell you why this stuff happened…

It’s because people out there, defiant in what doctors told them and advised but instead listened to the GOP administration and their lies in order. Because of that, my State has a massive outbreak and things aren’t going to be like this normally. I mean, It’s not just me that’s going on but the workers that have been suffering too in this. Some can’t afford to survive another round of quarantine and our hospitals have been stretched to capacity. Not really good when everyone is stretched.


What makes this also hard is that Thanksgiving is coming and most people are either hunkering down or taking their chances and traveling. I wouldn’t advise that due to how this crap got out of hand to begin with (people traveling and spreading it unknowingly) and that some states (like California) have a maximum of two weeks quarantine right after you travel or when you arrive.
Not really good to even leave after all, and maybe give a call on Valentine’s Day.


For now, Ya boy here is probably going to have a safe Thanksgiving at home and giving his grandmother a call. For those out there, best keep safe and not risk getting yourself sick in this.

So be safe, and be careful out there.
