do sinopharm or sinovac used the same stabilized spike protein as J&J? i assume not and they're the same spike as the AZ. someone was saying a bit ago that the stabilization might be the key and why some of vaxes appear to deal with SA and others just completely fail

They don’t have the stabilisation because they use real inactivated virus, not bespoke spike proteins generated by custom code.

Is there still an end of line problem with pharmacies/drug stores not having the cooling equipment needed or is that mostly solved?
I mean I know we have a lot of surging capacity right now considering folks are getting vaccinated in parking lots and deserted malls so I guess maybe that kinda cooling equipment is just out there in the wild enough now for it to be a "go to CVS" sorta situation to get a booster

Pfizer’s vaccine is approved for a fortnight at ordinary freezer temperature.

The deep‐freeze requirement is a thing of the past.

Posted earlier about being hosed up by my uncle and brother-in-law getting cancer diagnoses on the same day. Uncle is in the hospital now and probably doesn't have long left, cancer has metastasised from the lungs to his spine. Brother-in-law's prostate cancer had already metastasised into his hips, spine and possibly brain. So that's loving poo poo and I don't know how to process it.

On a lighter note, my dad finally got called in and I helped him book his first Pfizer shot in four days. Website was swamped and we had to wait an hour for the 25,000 people in line to get done. You'd think they could maybe expand server capacity for something as important as this, but whatever.

Jesus christ, condolences. Same thing with your uncle happened to my dad about 10 years ago and it was rough (didn't even realize anything was wrong until he was dealing with back pain), and then I don't even know how to process the BIL situation, that is horribly unfair for that poor family.

i think the writer of that hosed up a bit. vancouver, wa, is the rear end in a top hat of washington state that farts across the river into portland and oregon. it is a "drive-by" city that is completely without merit or anything of value. i use it as a fuel-stop to fill up my car before heading down to the weird land of oregon where that's not legal to do yourself

vancouver, wa, is chud central where the kind of people who don't want to pay income tax by living in washington state AND don't want to pay sales tax by driving south for 20 minutes to oregon live

Goons,

I just got an appt for the J&J juice next Wednesday. Someone sweet talk me about how it is just as good as the MNRA ones so I dont keep window shopping.

J&J (and Novavax) modified the spike protein in a way that Moderna and BioNTech (Pfizer’s partner) did not by removing the cleavage site where the spikes can break in twain. It’s a modification that looks good in the laboratory.

I would still totally window shop for an mRNA vaccine, but J&J’s product is not strictly inferior. Maybe this spike tweak is really worth something.

AZ is two, it’s just that the second shot should be delayed a good long while for legitimate efficacy reasons and also because every country using it is loving around with dose delay to get more people partially vaccinated and make the politicians look better.

The Columbia River (current WA/OR border) was the original Canadian border and Vancouver WA was a Hudson's Bay Company outpost like most Canadian cities. But the Brits basically threw away the PNW in the Oregon treaty so a new Vancouver was made above the 49th parallel, and old Vancouver became a lovely American suburb.

Good video on it from the Canadian perspective


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVBaut5YjyA

George Vancouver was a British sailor who "discovered" the PNW - after the natives and Spanish, but nevermind them.

this is just a tool the anti-vax chuds are using to manipulate the dumb libs. they can whine "waaaa, but how will people want the shot if they can't eat Applebees or spring break?? we need to give them a carrot, not stick" and then the dumb libs fall for the bait and it's just a game to keep making the carrot bigger and bigger with more whining

soon the CDC guidance will be, get the shot and then in the next 12 hours you are Good To Go on that summer trip, eat applebees, and (safely) throw your mask in the trash. this was the only way to get those people to take a shot!!
