I'm curious if the 3rd Booster Shot would take longer for waning effectiveness to kick in or if it will be 6 months for the next shot?

Compared to the peak 2nd dose it really cranks up the Max titers like crazy.

Pfizer said in their Q2 earning report slides that antibodies against Delta were still increasing at the 1 month mark for booster recipients, so hopefully in their next earning report in 7-8 weeks they'll give us trial data showing 3 month antibody levels

If they maintain or are still going up, that's a very good sign

I recommend looking into a nearby Shambala Center. There's a few around the nation. They usually have open classes over zoom where you can join and meditate. They're based in the Tibetan Buhhdist tradition , but its not super overt that's just their background. Their pretty welcoming to whoever. Its a good chill organization.

I did look into one and was thinking about it, so you pretty much pushed me off the fence here so I'm going to do this when/if the pandemic dies down. They had guided meditation classes offered on their online brochure so yeah I would assume that buddhists are all aligned on the idea that meditation is the application because you can't practice buddhism if you don't do it, regardless of what school.

I was reading the other day about the sexual abuse and coverup problem in the leadership of the organization. I don’t know enough about it to really comment on what’s up, but big yikes! Doesn’t mean the local centers are problematic, but definitely worth knowing about and looking into.

I'm confused. How does that work? If your body doesn't make antibodies, how does the disease end? Like how can you both fail to make antibodies to a pathogen, but also survive it? Like shouldn't the number of people who fail to produce antibodies for a pathogen correspond quite closely to the CFR? And even the most doomer of us all would acknowledge that the CFR of COVID-19 isn't remotely close to 36%.

Yeah, I came across this when I was looking for info about my local center to see if it was something I might be interested in checking out, and was wondering what the larger organization was about. I think I was just reading the Wikipedia page about shambhala international, which mentions it briefly.

We are wearing masks by mandate; I can’t imagine hick city is.

Only 10% of people regularly write anything online. The internet is self-selected to be full of content from this subset, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're more likely to have been gifted kids. Not necessarily smarter, because "gifted" for young kids is basically "do you read for fun?"

ah the one on the left obviously has been granted greater intellectual gifts than the one on the right

basically think of anything we teach.

now imagine getting parts mastered really early and other parts inexplicably later. being out of order makes fitting into the normal pattern instruction problematic. they hold you back from doing the things you are advanced in. they make you repeat endlessly the poo poo normal learners have a problem with. simultaneously they think you are being intentionally oppositional with the parts you are not advanced with.

and then this happens for everything not just school.

and they are very obviously and pretty easy to pick out. they tend to be extremely emotionally intense, often because there is gap between what they think they can do and what they can actually do.

both kids are eating paste. the gifted kid is also melting down and throwing a tantrum because you keep mispronouncing etselfietzulyackotal when they ask you endless very specific questions about a single volcano in Iceland.

it’s not dissimilar to autism, but the gifted kids eventually catch up on the things they lag rather than not being able to do them.

I would assume they produce antigens but not antibodies, or the infection is low-level enough that it just doesn't ever go away but doesn't get noticeably worse, i.e. long COVID.

I'm not terribly familiar with biology, but I thought antibodies were what your body used to fight off pathogens? If you're not producing them, then what is stopping a pathogen from replicating endlessly and causing death? Like how could you get a disease that stays the same and doesn't worsen without having antibodies?
And if lacking antibodies is to blame for long COVID, why don't long COVID sufferers transmit the virus? Shouldn't they be just as infectious at month 3 as they were on day 7?
