habitual herman cain posters are loving annoying, if you say anything implying vaccines arent enough they call you an anti vaxxer right winger. they have brain worms

I am thankful not to expose myself to this, it's bad enough occasionally running into the false dichotomy betwen 'vaccines are all bullshit' and 'anything to suggest vaccines alone aren't enough is heretical' in real life. It's strange that there's a weird consensus on this being the stark black-and-white nature of the idea, that it's all-or-nothing on vaccines, apparently across a majority of the US political spectrum. We can't loving agree on whether a pandemic warrants any public health response at all, or if the pandemic even exists and is real, but apparently a staggeringly massive proportion of people are damned sure that it 100% boils down to whether or not people get vaccinated.

At this rate we'll have pretty solid numbers on that hypothesis in about a year, maybe two while the stats nerds try to extract data from the plurality of states that have made covid stats reporting confidential and illegal to share with the public.

If COVID wasn't a matter of personal choice (getting the vaccine or not), then something would have to be done that is more powerful than personal choice, and every message for everything else treats personal choice is the end all be all solution to everything.

Whats the deal with booster banditing these days? I held off on a second booster thinking I'd wait for an omicron-specific one, but it's been close to six months since my first booster.

I tried a 3M Secure Click respirator last summer but it got uncomfortable after about 4 hours of wear (the head straps specifically). I switched to Auras after that and those were comfortable all day. Since the availability of Auras is spotty I'd feel better if I had a more comfortable respirator as a backup.

Any suggestions on what I should try next?

I'm only a little dead. I'm physically impaired from how often I was sick as a child, I'm fairly determined to outlive this poo poo regardless of everything that keeps getting thrown at me in this stupid bullshit demon cracker nation.

So I guess leave me any messages you all want me to carry forward a hundred fifty eighty couple of decades to humanity's extinction.

E: I mean, that was a joke, I'll probably get stabbed death by a member of my household in the next two years in a heated political debate over child labor, or something, but I still don't plan to roll over and die easy for loving hellworld.

I'm SURE walking around in a respirator at all times in an (even more) OPEN BIDENing society is definitely not a recipe for disaster and anyone that's not cool with getting harassed by CHUDs are cave dwellers. I've got good brain!

Korean Boomhauer posted:

I got my first dose December 2020, second dose Jan 2021, both Pfizer, and a Moderna "first dose" August 2021 before boosters were officially allowed. So I'm almost to the six month mark from my last booster and I expect my protection has dwindled to basically nothing. I don't plan to get another booster. I could, nothing is stopping me, but I'm not going to bother until there's something better available than the current original-recipe Pfizer and Moderna. I'm relying on my respirator rather than my immune system.

Three months is the shortest any nation I know of does between shots two and three.

That’s a good guess, IMO, confirmed by the falloff seen in efficacy against symptomatic disease at ten weeks in the UK.

Don't think you're going to get a good answer unfortunately. However think neutralization data studies as in the example above suggest less than 3 months.
