So how long will the FDA sit on J+J Walmart vaccine approval?

It's even worse for people who got the Walmart vaccine since all the recent studies found it had the lowest effectiveness against Delta vs mRNA competition.

Which also makes me wonder why it wasn't originally approved and designed as a two dose vaccine schedule.

It’s not surprising, but it is remarkable how much voices like ours just aren’t represented in the national discourse. If I sit somebody down and very gently talk about Biden’s covid policy while reassuring them that trump was a very very bad president, I can usually get a liberal to admit that Biden’s been loving it up with a tenacity and single minded drive normally only found in people who succeed at things. It’s easy, all the facts support this position, it’s about as hard as saying a war in Iraq was a bad idea back when that was a conversation. Everyone agrees when their buddy says it, but the politically correct thing is to say that we gotta go along with a bad idea no matter what it costs, because otherwise you’re supporting the bad guys.

If you just say some poo poo about how Biden sucks at this without first putting on your pussy hat and your shirt that says covfefe on it, you’re told to accept that trump lost and that your vote for him wasn’t erased and that you should get vaccinated. There isn’t a slot in the American brain for someone who hates Biden for not doing enough, you either support him or you’re a trump guy. I understand that respirator crew is always going to be a marginalized and unpopular crew, but you’d think there would be any support at all for “pay me not to go to my lovely job” crew, or at least “let’s not intentionally sicken my children” crew.

my probably unvaccinated cop dad died of covid

quote:

On the morning of April 21, 2020, Alice Roberts said she and her three children were awakened by a loud thump. Her husband, Glen Ridge police officer Charles “Rob” Roberts, who had begun exhibiting symptoms earlier that month, had collapsed on the floor while on the phone with the local health department, Alice Roberts told The Post. Her husband had been tested for covid earlier, but she said the results were mislabeled. His heart stopped before the new results were available, his wife said.

For a long time my mom thought I voted for Trump because I hated Hilldawg.

I still don't think my dad believes me that I voted for Howie Hawkins this go round.

At least now they've sorta stopped talking about how Biden is going to be the best president ever, but I think that's more because it starts a tirade from me about just how bad he is.

It kinda was designed as a two dose, but two things happened, and then a sort of third which hosed it up with the public.

The first was that traditional vaccines rather than MRNAs (AstraZeneca also had this) produced blood clotting issues in young women that were pretty bad in some cases and that seemed to be related to COVID just being that bad. The second was the lab that was manufacturing it for J&J hosed up massively and tainted a few million doses that had to be thrown out. The third was that since it was shipping stable without any refrigeration and only one dose it was heavily promoted that these factors along with the trust in the Johnson & Johnson brand name made it ideal for either poor rural types where transporting the mRNA options (which required cooling and all sorts of poo poo) wasn't an option, vaccine hesitant lower income African Americans, and shipping out to third world countries in Africa and Latina America.

There was a huge thing where pfizer was for the people that matter and the hip shot, Moderna was for most of us, and Johnson was for the dirty poors. And it just faded away. With the irony later being that Moderna and Johnson are looking better and better now. They just stopped caring about it and pushing it.

would be nice to have a non nazi capitalist hellscape nation so people wouldnt be all paranoid and dead and poo poo

:d2a:

I have a certain concern for the chuds, too. It’s not empathy, it’s just an awareness of the fact that many important jobs get done by dudes I hate. If 30-40% of the workforce are just going to be steadily be getting sick, that’s going to gently caress me over so many times in so many weird, unpredictable ways.

We’ve already seen a thousand articles about everything from trash collection to taco bell fire sauce production falling apart because of covid. CNN says Christmas decorations are in short supply this year, which is horrifying if you think about how much money Americans spend on Christmas poo poo that we throw away every year and line up to buy the next year. There are problems at the ports. You’ve probably noticed that shipping times in general are all out of whack. Prices keep going up while demand stays about where it already was. A lot of useful poo poo is on back order. A lot of useless poo poo is, too. On top of that, I don’t know what the vaccination rate is among people who provide my critical services. Is my water service capable of running while having everybody get sick at the same time? Is my electrical service the same? I like to hope it is, but I have no way of knowing that.

The sad fact is that we need asses in seats for an economy like this to work at all, and as more of those asses go into caskets, the economy starts to fail in pretty critical spots. We can’t just kill all the chuds and call it a day, some of those pieces of poo poo drive the food to where we get the food from, and some of them make the toilets work. I have no idea what to do about keeping them alive, but they loving absolutely need to be alive, because we don’t have a plan for what to do when they’re all dead.

It does seem like we've been stuck in a holding pattern for a few weeks with poo poo being bad but not really getting better or worse and I'm kind of surprised that seems to be the case. I know some of it is lovely reporting and the national numbers reflecting the overall counts of lots of localized peaks and valleys. But still, we are somehow in a plateau during the month of September.

Well at the very least I'm sure it would mean J+J would be the last to be approved for limited booster shots (65+ !).

Luckily there's the gamefaqs speed run to cover the situation plus all the data showing "mix + match" to add in a mRNA dose is not risky either from a health point of view and produces similar side effects to a standard schedule. Some data found it was better in terms of cranking up the antibody production.

"And how we burned in the quarantine camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every CDC operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Orlando, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, alligators, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Biden's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." - Joe Rogan

translating from left to right:

Step 1: the bald Trump supporter with the wrap-around shades posts on Facebook, grills, doesn't wear a mask, isn't vaccinated

Step 2: the bald Trump supporter with the wrap-around shades breaks into a fever, still posts on Facebook, now has COVID, ingests "horse paste"

Step 3: the bald Trump supporter is now on a ventilator, is still posting on Facebook, still has COVID, is begging for prayers, and badly needs oxygen
