Sooooooo what’s the status of vaccine approval for the under 12 kids? Otherwise me and the relatives will have to try a “3 kids in a trenchcoat” approach for ours.

The former FDA guy from the Pfizer board says no application submitted until late October for 5-11 y/o so maybe end of year or early next year, but it has been continually sliding.

Petey can chime in cuz he brought it up before, or someone else who listens to TWIV, but it sounds like maybe some doctors are giving Pfizer to kids near 12 years old because it is fully approved and they can do that.

I think in this thread we assume that there is probably some risk of heightened myocarditis for other side effect that is causing a delay. It could as just be neoliberal scientists needing a fuckton of data. Who knows, talk to ur doc.

there is a lot of chaos and drama going on behind the scenes between the CDC and FDA. as far as we know they're still saying early winter likely availability for them. let's hope that date gets pushed up a lot sooner!

Any job that you 'do what you love' is like this. See also: the video game industry. You don't deserve to get paid for your 'labor of love' because the enjoyment you get out of the job should be payment enough.

good news for those of us who were interested in getting covid to protect ourselves against getting covid

No covid deaths in either group

Except for all the people in the "natural immunity" group who ate poo poo and died ugly on round 1 with the virus, ofc. But they don't count.

It's a big crack ping day for me today as I increasingly accept that my best hope is that the adults close to me will be allowed to get a booster before we all inevitably get COVID no matter what we try to do and for the kids just gotta hope for the best as far as them not getting permeant damage because there is no way to protect them long term without totally withdrawing from the world.

The depression is probably not helped by the fact you've gone through as hellish an ordeal a human can somewhat recover from then watch your society expose everyone to that danger willingly while saying it's good actually

People keep trying to conflate "it's going to become endemic" with "modify your hazard-avoidance strategies right now when it is not anywhere close to being endemic." When COVID is a nasty seasonal virus that you get a booster vaccine for every fall, if it ever actually subsides to that level, then yeah you will need to take some risks. Right now? In the middle of the Delta wave? gently caress that noise. People are looking at a year or two years down the line that the virus is not going to go away and then trying to use that to rationalize taking insane risks in the short term.

Like yeah, car crashes exist and yet you still drive a car, right? But do you drive a car into an active pileup?
