alright goons I am two degrees of separation from Covid and I need advice: a contractor at work was reported positive early in the week, just today the maintenance guy who was working with him also tested positive and my day shift co-worker got sent home (we're in the same office for a few hours on shift change). I'm fully vaccinated (my coworker isn't) but I'm gonna see if I can get tested asap. My one worry is that idk how early the testing can pick up on it- if it comes back negative how reliably clean am I?

Can't have people question whether vaccines work, that would be bad!

Imagine having to explain this to someone completely unvaccinated right now but willing to get a shot

"You will get the first dose now, and the second in 3 or 4 weeks!"

And then I'll be protected, right?

"No! Two weeks after your second shot, you will be fully immune!"

Great, so I'll be fully protected!

"No! Then you have to get a booster shot in 4-6 months!"

So then I'll be fully protected?

"No! A month or so after the booster shot you'll be fully protected against Delta!"

But isn't the Delta wave going on right now? How can I protect myself from something that will be over in 4 months if it takes over 6 months of vaccines?

"OPEN BIDEN"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/08/18/cdc-data-delay-delta-variant/

When Pfizer representatives met with senior U.S. government health officials on July 12, they laid out why they thought booster shots would soon be necessary in the United States. Data from Israel showed the vaccine’s effectiveness waned over time, especially in older and immunocompromised people.

But officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disagreed, saying their own data showed something quite different, according to four people with direct knowledge of the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Other senior health officials in the meeting were stunned. Why hadn’t the CDC looped other government officials on the data? Could the agency share it — at least with the Food and Drug Administration, which was responsible for deciding whether booster shots were necessary? But CDC officials demurred, saying they planned to publish it soon.

That episode, say senior administration officials and outside experts, illustrates the growing frustration with the CDC’s slow and siloed approach to sharing data, which prevented officials across the government from getting real-time information about how the delta variant was bearing down on the United States and behaving with greater ferocity than earlier variants — an information gap they say stymied the response.

CDC officials declined to identify what data they had cited at that meeting with Pfizer officials. But on Wednesday, more than a month later, the agency published a trio of reports showing similar trendlines as the earlier Israeli studies — declining protection against the delta variant as it became dominant in the United States.

“The moment there’s something really problematic, it should be shared,” said Eric Topol, professor of molecular medicine at Scripps Research. “In the time it takes to get out an MMWR report [a weekly scientific digest], too many people have gotten infected, too many people have gotten long covid, too many people among them have gotten very sick, some even getting hospitalized.”
