Nearly as overlooked as Joe Mauer
Joe Rogan is an addle brained moron who is a puppet for the Dana White new money class done tony soprano style. Just the absolute lowest loving bar of anything passing thought with the most banal idiotic asperations.
The only reason he has the audience he does and defenders in this thread is that they are as dim witted as he is. There is no class analysis of Rogan that makes him an acceptable figure regardless of whatever the gently caress CNN, one of the key mouthpieces of capital, is doing. Not to mention the CNN audience is an entirely different set of doofuses than the one Rogan is spreading his anti-vaxx, anti-trans, anti-worker message.

One of my old friends invited me to an in-door event that will take place the weekend after Thanksgiving. I could be over-cautious here, but that doesn't seem like good timing at all during a pandemic.

I don't buy it. This came out immediately after reports of the mysterious stealth variant in the UK.

But this doesn't explain any of the reports in India. I think this is just an attempt to calm people down because imagine having Covid ripping through your community that will never show on tests?

Pandemic fatigue must be real as I wore only the Aura N95 mask to the grocery store this morning like a cowboy instead of the usual secure-click HF-802. It's fine but honestly less comfortable than the elastometric, in particular the air inside the mask got really humid presumably due to the lack of exhaust vent. It was ok for a quick trip, but wouldn't like to use it all day like medical professionals do. Definitely a bit easier on the noise though, which is my only complaint about the secure-click.

Going to the grocery store in-person is another risky activity I've taken up again post-vaccination. I tell myself it's because getting some underpaid retail worker to pick out my stuff in a crowded store during a pandemic has always been gross, but the reality is Trader Joe's is the only local place with Japanese sweet potatoes and they don't do curbside :(

Nobody engages with my hell scape health care posts any more you're all busy crying about made up number reports that are completely detached from reality as nobody in health care has time to do testing or report any more. I will be gassing the thread at midnight. Covid is over.

Personally tried to really reduce posting itt when it sped up recently, as my white-noise posts add nothing to the discussion and crowd out useful posts from healthcare workers etc. Most of my posts get pre-emptively deleted as even I recoil from the drivel staring back from the screen, though not this one apparently. In terms of feedback it's impressive you've avoided infection so far and should I ever need an MRI I promise to get in the tube and stay still without complaint.

quote:

The Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory panel unanimously voted on Friday to recommend authorizing booster shots of Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose coronavirus vaccine at least two months after the first dose.

Representatives from Johnson & Johnson presented their case Friday morning during a meeting of the advisory panel, arguing that a second dose given either two months or six months after the first shot increased antibody levels, part of the immune response to vaccines. They also said that the single dose of the vaccine remained durable.

If you got boosted in August are you immunocompromised in some way or just Max Titers? I got mine in August because I'm on antimetabolite medication (which specifically suppresses antibody production) and have been told to basically operate as if I'm unvaccinated forever. :rubby:

I know I'm hoping it keeps me out of the hospital at least (as it seems to be doing for you, fingers crossed) but real immunity is probably a pipe dream. Hopefully the PrEP version of the antibody cocktail becomes available in 2022, though!

I thought if someone in your household got delta, then no matter what, you pretty much will get delta. 2 fully vaxxed friends of mine in good shape with no health issues, early 40's, got delta a couple of months after they were fully vaccinated.

Any tips for getting a seal on an FF-402 (or in general)? Somehow the first two times I tried my respirator on I got it on the first shot - I just spent a full hour trying to get a seal and just can't do it, I feel like screaming. Air keeps rushing out roughly parallel to my eyes making a deep humming sound, there is no amount of tightening that fixes it.

I think it's like a literal 100% attack rate regardless of titers, there's never been a case where all residents of a building didn't get it if one did
