Boris Johnson has at least 100,000 antibodies on his hands, which cancels out if you think about it.

OwlFancier posted:It already affects the young, they can contract and spread it, it just doesn't kill them. I don't think viruses specifically select for lethality unless it somehow increases communicability. less lethal but more contagious viruses are the "worst" from what I read. Because they have more opportunity to mutate and then get deadlier. A very deadly virus has less oppportunity to infect a big amount of people. The fact that the new strains mostly comes from places with a high resistance to the normal strain (around 70% in Brazil if I remember correctly) shows how effective the virus is at mutating and spreading again. So the more we let it loose the more dangerous it becomes. Shows how much the whole strategy in the west (Save the economy) has been a failure. While a full lock down in january/february last year would probably have saved us a lot of hassle. My uneducated guess is that vaccine or not (because it'll already take years for everyone to get one and by that time the virus would have mutated), expect several years of this with lock downs falling down here and there. edit: in the meanwhile wear masks (not single layer), keep your distances and wash your hands (and hope school stay closed as much as possible or that government get to their senses and introduce an hard lock down until there is 0 cases) SA_Avenger fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Jan 29, 2021 |

One of the longest running internet arguments of the past year appears to have now come to a close, and I'm glad that the majority have agreed that Harry Potter was written by the Wachowski sisters.

So I complained a couple days ago about a place not getting back to me saying I would eat my words if they had a fair reason. Turns out one of them was ill and also my emails were getting filtered so fair enough. Had the second interview just now, turned out it wasn't even a technical one, more a "hey, get to know a couple of the other members of the team, make sure we'd actually like to work with you" kind of interview. Seemed to go alright and they seem like a pretty decent company to work for (if slightly disorganised but that is the most forgivable thing to me) so hopefully I will be gainfully employed soon.

I got my callup for the vaccine today, so I finally bothered to google links between immunosuppressants and covid and it turns out there's apparently no signal in the global dataset to indicate anything from azathioprine to TNF inhibitors correlate to infection vulnerability or outcome. I'm not going to stamp my feet and demand to remain a possible vector, especially as my partner is being constantly pinged with self-isolations through work. It would be nice if, since the government can change the guidance for each of the ~60 times they were horny or hungry or needed eyetests, they could check the data on vulnerable groups once per year or so. They have enough loving cases to go on.

Same, got my text to book through today. I'm in group 4 (clinically vulnerable), if anyone wants to guage the progress. No idea what flavour of jab it is.

Given the dubious efficacy of the single vaccine approach it's hard to see how people in vulnerable categories will really benefit personally until the mass vaccination starts to drive the infectiousness down. Cos like, you're not gonna personally put yourself at risk because you're now an unknown degree of less likely to catch it are you? You can't take someone who's been stuck at home for a year and say "well you still might catch it and die but you're less likely to than before so feel free to start licking shopping trolleys"

So in a situation that could probably only happen to me. I had the second dose of pfizer and had a very severe reaction. I am cev, shielding and also an NHS worker hence getting it slightly earlier than group 4. I ended up with a five day stay in hospital, was extremely poorly I dont have a lot of memory of it. I was ill at home 3 days prior to the ambulance being called. In the end I have been diagnosed with myopericarditis (an inflammation of heart lining and muscle). I am immunosuppressed and I had spoken in a lot of detail with my consultant prior to getting it who weighed the risks of catching covid were greater. I am sure this is a freak event but the hospital have submitted my case to the yellow card scheme to provide data. So yeah, recovering at home for the foreseeable!

That's scary, glad to hear you're okay. I have two doctor friends who have had both doses of the Pfizer jab and both were quite severely ill for 2-3 days after the second (nowhere near hospitalisation, just bad flu symptoms). It definitely doesn't gently caress around.

I guess that's the idea that it generates an immune response with the second one. I hope you recover as quick as possible and with no lasting harm.

Thanks. Yeah my doctor said although I dont probably feel like it right now, the fact I had such an extreme immune response means it has worked! I'll be going back for followup scans to make sure theres no lasting damage. My breathing is still not great right now, but am assured it will be an acute illness not long term.

I found what I assume you heard on iPlayer and yeah the description does kind of make it sounds like a fantasy of a Qanon boomer who's children are just going to accept she believes bonkers poo poo now: Our Truth, Their Lies Drama Our Truth Their Lies is a reactive drama about an alarming phenomenon in British society – the growing influence of conspiracy theories such as QAnon. High-profile proponents like David Icke come from a reassuringly loony fringe, but many of those now subscribing to and spreading unproven theories are hitherto rational people from very ordinary backgrounds. There are multiple gateways to QAnon obsession: a belief that 5G played a role in the pandemic, concerns that organised child sex abuse is coordinated by a cabal of global elites, fears that vaccines are a form of insidious government control. A belief in any one of these often exposes social media users to a barrage of unfounded stories about the others. Our story backtracks through 2020 as it follows Jen’s journey into the darker reaches of the online conspiracy theory universe. We get a portrait of a loving, mostly functional family thrown into crisis as Michael and Louise try to make sense of Jen’s transformation. They reach an uneasy accommodation with Jen, but it is painfully apparent that she has seen the dark heart of the world and it’s her moral duty to spread the word. For her silence is not an option.

I'm not scheduled for any vaccinations yet (probably April / May) as even though I'm 60, I'm not a vulnerable. Also as it will be done by local GP it's likely to be the Oxford variety. However, as many of my neighbours are in their 80s, some with access to transport have been taken to a place about 20 miles away dishing out the Pfizer one. Just wondering if any of them might get quite poorly after their second doses? Also a friend who had the Pfizer had a bad reaction to the second dose too. But from what she described it sounds like the reaction I had to the flu vaccine which I had for the first time in decades about a month ago - severe chills, shaking, aches, etc.

Checked in on Alex Jones recently as I've ignored his schtick for years. Dunno what he's been huffing, as he's now claiming inter dimensional machine elves are controlling humanity to drink their blood. A far cry from 9/11 trutherism and NWO madness.

Owen Jones on the other hand, has just launched his youtube interview series as a podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-owen-jones-podcast/id1550331378 First one is Stewart Lee, but he's got the Chomsky, Manning & Varoufakis ones on there as well.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:What was the time lapse between your doses. Lots of old people have come in to the hospital with some combination of tiredness / vomiting / diarrhoea / fevers after having the vaccine. Of course lots of old people come in with this normally and lots of old people have had the vaccine recently so it's likely not all due to the vaccine. It just seems to generate a strong immune response which can be enough for older people to knock them off their feet a bit. Don't think anyone's been seriously ill just needed a bit of support.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:What was the time lapse between your doses. It was 24 days between doses. I know a lot more people, with no underlying conditions who have had a harder time with the second dose. Not as extreme as me but like you describe, flu like symptoms for 24-48 hours after onset. Hopefully they should be ok but best to be prepared with supplies, paracetamol, fluids etc in case.

I don't believe everyone at the top is a paedophile, but I believe they know who the pimps are for the people who are and will do nothing to stop it because it's politically inconvenient to do so. I believe that Epstein and Maxwell were well known as pimps and that if you wanted it you could get something a little more hardcore from them. I believe that some of the rich and powerful were into it, some of them tried it the same way you or I would take a line of coke at a party if it was offered and you were already pished and some people were told "Hey, she's eighteen" and then only after was told she was fifteen and we were recording you. I also do not for a single second think that Epstein was the only pimp in town and that the industry he worked has continued unabated. I reckon it holds a similar spot in the brains of the most powerful people as knowing that bombing countries kills kids.
