Littleronin Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 My county commissioners voted last night to end community testing. You know in while the county is seeing it largest surge since Thanksgiving/Christmas. General consensus around town from people is "Well now the numbers will go down and we can get back to normal." Sky is blue, water is wet, rural conservatives are stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. I ate a bad burger at a restaurant once. My stomach wasn't the same for at least 2-3 months afterwards. Persistent irritable bowl problems and I couldn't keep weight on. That was like 15 years ago and very thankful it hasn't happened since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 According to data released by the security office of the DoD agency that I work for (DARPA), 91% of our personnel are fully vaccinated and 2% are partially vaccinated.

The problem to me though is I don’t think the wealthy nations will do the right moral, ethical, and logical step of massively increasing supply to the developing world, which is the real threat to the health and safety of fully vaccinated people in wealthy nations. Soooo, it kinda doesn’t matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ominous Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 One of the people I work with, and see in the office once a week, son tested positive today. I think he's 7? He had strep like symptoms but then stared throwing up. On a positive note they delayed our 2 day a week return to the office until the end of October.

Gavin King Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 My company delayed our 1-2 days a week in office from original 7/1, to 8/1, to 9/7, to now likely not until 1/1 (i.e. could be even longer) and will now require vaccinations in order to be on-site. CEO mentioned federal response and other companies for reasoning. Glad they're doing it, but one negative is that it could actually encourage people to not vaccinate so they can continue working from home.

Guest Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Had a weird conversation after kickball tonight. 28 year guy wasn’t getting vaccinated because his grand parents died 2 weeks after getting vaccinated. They died of Covid. There is a huge swath of the adult population that aren’t Trumpers and think this way due to bad analysis of personal anecdotes like that. Really sad.

No doubt, I would've posted it back when everyone was talking about it but it was uploaded several days later and I first noticed it today. I think it's decent enough closure to that topic and is insightful with the points about widespread misinformation going on now, so though it might be worth sharing.

If this is accurate, we ain't gettin' a Moderna booster anytime soon Big gap between Pfizer, Moderna vaccines seen for preventing COVID hospitalizations NEWS.YAHOO.COM Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine does a significantly better job of preventing COVID-19 hospitalizations compared with Pfizer's shot. Quote New research released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday shows that effectiveness of the Moderna vaccine is staying particularly strong. Over the course of five months of research, from March to August, the effectiveness of all the vaccines at keeping people out of the hospital due to COVID among people without compromising conditions was highest for Moderna recipients, at 93%. Pfizer's effectiveness was overall 88% and Johnson & Johnson's was 71%. Pfizer's effectiveness decreased after 120 days of the study period, from 91% to 77%, while Moderna's effectiveness did not see a similar decline. Initial effectiveness of 93% only declined to 92% with Moderna. "Although these real-world data suggest some variation in levels of protection by vaccine, all FDA-approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines provide substantial protection against COVID-19 hospitalization," researchers concluded. The report was released hours before an FDA committee decided not to recommend booster shots for people vaccinated with Pfizer, except in the case of the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's honestly more than one thing wrong with the FDA board's analysis from what I'm reading. One is getting laser-focused on hospitalization/death. Breakthrough cases can still fuck you up pretty bad even if you don't wind up in the hospital, you can still have long-term complications, and waning prevention from catching it is going to be a breeding ground for variants with higher likelihood of breakthrough potential. Quote CDC epidemiologist Sara Oliver presented a synthesis of data suggesting that vaccine efficacy against infection has declined over time, but protection against hospitalizations has remained strong. Another is they seem to have made this a dick-measuring contest to prove that they didn't get pushed around by Biden instead of actually making the right decision. Quote "I think this should demonstrate to the public that the members of this committee are independent of the FDA and that, in fact, we do bring our voices to the table," Archana Chatterjee, a voting VRBPAC member and Dean of Chicago Medical School. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/09/fda-advisors-greenlight-pfizer-boosters-for-people-65-and-at-risk-groups/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
