Even if we can synthesize antibodies that the virus is incapable of mutating to evade, the solution space of artificial antibodies is broader than the solution space of antibodies generated by the human body.

It is not a given that a protein exists that can coax the human body to produce the right antibodies.

Right. MAbs treatments that manage to go 6+ months without being circumvented by the variant of the day is likely a necessary but not sufficient condition for broadly neutralizing universal coronavirus vaccine to ever work.

AFAIK Bebtelovimab is the only one still generally working at this point and it's only just starting to get distributed.

so what's the word on a second booster these days? I got mine end of November and I'm hoping there's zero issue with me getting another booster at the 5 month mark. we still at the "lol you don't need boosters anymore" stage of things?

I’m just gonna mask up and limit exposure as next as I can rather than try to keep getting boosters for now and reconsider in the fall since the value of more boosters is unknown.

An entirely new vaccine could have been developed, tested, and released a new vaccine in the time between when this thread recognized boosters as a good idea and when WHO got onboard.

The CDC/FDA joint midnight statement that boosters were not necessary was eight months ago next week.

Can they just be loving honest with people, the entire reason why they’ve all lost so much trust is they’re doing this balancing act. Just be brutally honest about masking, boosters, vaccines etc and let the idiot chuds figure out the rest.

The Who/cdc/fda etc has just hosed up everything and now we’re heading into massively unvaccinated territory with new anti-vaxx assholes who will question MMR, whooping cough, etc than ever before.

Edit: My dad’s friend is dying, they can’t help him anymore as he has a stage 4 abscess on his back and they can’t fix it while he has lung problems. They can’t solve his lung problems while he has the abscess. I don’t know what they’re going to do but mentally he’s there so maybe they just pull the plug and he suffocates or they give him a bunch of morphine? What a horrible way to die.

All because he listened to trump and chud media and refused to get a shot.

Just got handed printouts about our new masks optional policy to put up in my team's area. Last year this policy lasted maybe two weeks before Delta kicked off, so I'm guessing ba.2 is well on its way. Guy who showed up for his first day today appears to not even have brought one with him.

A couple weeks ago I had to quarantine after my boss popped positive. That lead to a bunch of free higher quality masks suddenly being available for staff. I was fine and had upgraded well before then, but guess I should try and hoard a bunch of them since no one else will be using them.

The busy season is beginning, so I'm glad we're sprinkling on additional stressors. Didn't have anything to drink last night, but everything after work is fuzzy. Its like I just went into power saving mode. This poo poo sucks.
