Is there a reason why some people get really bad side effects to the vaccine and nothing for other people? My dad and I barely had any side effects, outside slightly sore arm, we also never get sick if that means anything.

I've been sick since my flu booster. Headaches, joint pain, low grade fever, oddly fluctuating BP and heart rate, random nausea, gastrointestinal issues. I was 100% fine before and even after my booster. My doctor said it is just anxiety as there's nothing physically wrong with me

However, the headaches stopped after I did a 14 day regime of Flonase and all of the other symptoms stop if I do a bit of vigorous exercise. So she might be half correct

NPR update on vaccines for under 5 year olds:

quote:

What you can expect when vaccines become available for kids under 5
December 2, 20216:00 AM ET

Vaccines for children under five are expected to be approved early next year, but officials and pediatricians say the slow uptake among hesitant parents for the 5-11 age group could extend to the youngest children too.

Dr. Francis Collins is director of the National Institutes of Health and spoke with NPR's All Things Considered about the timeline for emergency use authorization of the vaccine for kids under 5, and the ongoing efforts to immunize those aged 5 to 11.

As with older Americans, before the vaccine makers can submit for FDA emergency use authorization, they must first conduct trials to ensure the vaccine is safe and effective.

For children under five, these trials are split into two different groups: those aged 2-5, and those aged six months to two years.

"Both of those have had data generated in a carefully controlled trial, and those are going to be submitted and [the] FDA will review them," Collins said.

"But I think it will be by the first of the year before we have approval for those younger ages."
....

Under five vaccine approval by the Jan 1st 2022 would be much better than expected. Of course immediately right now would be better.

The article then goes on to talk a LOT about parents hesitant about vaccinating their kids but to be honest this pandemic has shown a large fraction of the American public is overall really stupid about vaccines and doesn't require any further explanation. You can discuss the systemic factors leading to this state of affairs, widespread misinformation and poor education and how it serves the needs of capital and existing power structures etc etc but also need to just call a spade a spade.

It's a fair guess the vaccine efficacy against symptomatic infection is going to be much lower. At this point just hoping it has OK protection against severe disease and results in only "mild" symptoms, where I mean actually mild and not whatever definition the US CDC is using. Also no ADE would be good, I'm not hearing much commentary about that at all so maybe it's unlikely, but of course this is still the period where there's no real info available.

I'm a bit confused. If the R0 value of Omicron is as high as it seems to be - especially given that HK hotel - AND if it's as vaccine evading as some of this new data suggests, wouldn't the current stiuation, even with as short a time as it's been, be WAY more apocalyptic than it even already is? Like wouldn't the current rate of spread suggest a high R0 value with low to moderate vaccine escape OR a high rate of vaccine escape with an R0 comparable to Delta rather than a high rate of vaccine escape AND a higher R0?

taking off my Doomer: We're All hosed hat and putting on my Liberal Dunce hat for a sec, isn't it at least somewhat hopeful that somebody recently boosted got infected and is supposedly recovering? I mean yeah we already know you can get infected irrespective of vaccination status but so far it kinda seems like being boosted helps quite a bit?

I mean it is pretty much a guarantee that natural infection means nothing when it comes to reducing Omicron spread, and as predicted Vaccine has gotta be below 50% (my wild rear end guess)

Maybe there is still some hope for reduced severity but idk how cases don’t explode in the south because I can’t really see prior infection with Delta doing anything. Oh yea and the whole longCOVID thing
