To hate the phrase “double jabbed”

[MrsRobbieHart]

(But also lighthearted )

I hate the double part and I hate the jabbed part individually and the two combined.

It’s not double. You haven’t been doubly vaccinated, just fully vaccinated. If you only have the first one, you’re only partially vaccinated. So the second one is the completion of the vaccination- right? Not double the vaccination.

And jabbed is just yuck. I know I’m probably UR on this count as jabbed is a very commonly used term for a vaccination. It never bothered me before the term “double jabbed” came into usage. Now it makes me

And people saying “I’m double jabbed” makes me want to scream. “I have been double jabbed” would be slightly more acceptable.

You can all tell me how UR I am now

'Vaccinated' isn't a magical status you attain after two injections, it's a slope of individual immune responses mounted that varies between people which on average peaks after two doses. If you get one needle in your arm, you're vaccinated, some people after their first dose will have as strong an immune response if not stronger than someone else after two, therefore if you have two you are perfectly able to say double vaccinated, because vaccination is a process not a status.

I hate all the covid catchphrases
Second wave / 3rd wave etc being the worst

It's the word jab I don't like. It means to poke someone and can often be an assault. We have been vaccinated, not jabbed (and we are fully vaccinated, not double jabbed).

I dont like jab either. Better than in America though. They call it a shot

Nothing will beat ‘blended learning’ as the trigger for internal screaming.

Wtf is blended learning? And I have school age DC.

Blended Learning has been around since before Covid though. Just means some f2f and some online.

Wtf is blended learning?

Just be eternally grateful you don’t know.

I love Blended Learning as it's meant DD has continued her schoolwork throughout her current covid infection with no fuss whatsoever (and, importantly, no input from me!).

I don't care what it's called 😂

I don't mind double jabbed but the phrase 'in arms' turns my stomach. All the Tory politicians at one point were talking about getting doses in arms. I mean they all read the same script anyway which is another matter. Perish the thought they could speak for themselves.

Where I work we call it “double dipped” which makes us laugh. We are rural farming types through.

"social distance" as a verb. Awful.

Why don't they just say that? It sounds like you're making a knowledge soup.

Thank you

Hate the phrase "shudder" more than I hate double jabbed tbh OP 🤣😂🤣

As others have said, ‘jabs in arms’ is particularly revolting. The overexcited ‘we must get jabs in arms!’ was horrible.

Strikes me as rather dehumanising, but then I have an issue with people being referred to as ‘heads’ too. As in ‘that department will need three more heads’. And don’t get me started on calling people ‘bods’. Less cold, but more sick-making version of the same thing.

Two jabs also isn’t “fully” vaccinated if they’re bringing out a 3rd round is it?

Two doses is fully vaccinated until you’re eligible for the 3rd dose

Not sure why I’m getting the wee knobby face
