No. We have special disability transport buses/taxies. One of my roles during lockdown was as an escort to schools and medical appointments for young people with special needs, it required me to go into repeated total quarantine for 2 weeks if I ever left the bubble. I didn’t go on public transport for over a year. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Jul 8, 2021 |

NYTimes has a piece out about the French study on the Delta variant and how effective vaccines are against it... How does the Delta variant dodge the immune system? Scientists find clues. quote:The Delta variant of the coronavirus can evade antibodies that target certain parts of the virus, according to a new study published on Thursday in Nature. The findings provide an explanation for diminished effectiveness of the vaccines against Delta, compared with other variants. So basically, get your second jab if you haven't already.

FYI friend goons: Reacting to AZ after the first jab is very common, but having no reaction after at all after the second jab is also incredibly common verging on usual.

I don't know if it's hesitancy so much as either being in a place where it's harder to get a 2nd jab, or just some amount of people putting it off for the typical reasons one delays an appointment (too busy, too stressed for the extra logistical work, etc).

The vaccination "hesitancy" (refusal) pisses me off so much. As usual, they're loving it up for the rest of us. Well, mostly themselves. I get if some people aren't able to schedule their second one or had other complications getting it but if you're going to get one you might as well get the other. I'm sure a lot of people are like "Well I got one so that'll help."

Yeah, it's incredible that with the rest of the world literally begging and dying for vaccines that people are so mindlessly stupid about it. But you know what really pisses me off? The unvaxx'd chuds provide a reservoir of current mutations and propagate disease, but it's the brunch libs will provide the selection pressure for immunity evasion, with their health economist inspired mindset of zero NPI (safely). "Oh well nothing better could have been done" they will exclaim while relentlessly exposing themselves to a novel virus. Maga red and blue are absolutely loving this up, in different but synergistic ways, to the detriment of all. Very American!

Lmao even people in Turkey making GBS threads on AZ, which is not even distributed there and like p.content with Sinovac which is not the best 5G enabler afaik. AZ was critical for preventing UK turning into a floating graveyard yet it'll be remembered as the vaxx that killed people. That's why Turkish gubmint rushed to Blade 1 end fight with booster jabs for olds with Pfizer or Moderna way before fall. Galewolf fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jul 8, 2021 |

Australian talk is now leaning towards delivering the second dose of AZ at 8 weeks. The experts proposing this say that a booster would definitely be necessary if that route is taken as the vaccine is considerably less effective against Delta with an 8 week gap.

I wonder what percentage of those people are hesitant because the side effects of shot one were worse than they expected. I'm not saying that's a good reason (it definitely isn't!), but I'm curious. The side effects of both the first and second shot were, for me, really unpleasant and long-lasting. I'm wondering how much (if at all) that is contributing.

I had pretty nasty side-effects but no way was I going to let that delay my second shot. In a lot of ways my side effects after dose 2 weren't as bad, and at least they weren't unexpected. Unfortunately I could see some people decide one shot was good enough, especially because the early results of a single mRNA vaccination were pretty promising. The new variants, though, kind of throw a wrench into that.

Unless there's info out there that I haven't seen, the thinking is it suppresses your immune system so you'd assume so but does it suppress it enough to have a notable effect on efficacy? No one knows and that's such a hyper specific study it probably won't be done for a while. NotJustANumber99 posted:don't worry. I drank on the jab date too.

So apparently it wasn't just a brain fart from the NSW health minister the other day: there are MPs in state cabinet agitating for NSW to give up on trying to eliminate the recent outbreak (after all of two weeks in lockdown!): https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/fork-in-the-road-senior-ministers-consider-letting-delta-circulate-in-community-20210708-p58844.html quote:Ms Berejiklian said she remained hopeful that the extended lockdown would end next Friday however one senior minister said the next “two to three days would be critical”. I am aghast that this would even be considered. It might have been one thing back in March/April 2020, I could at least respect the consistency in wrongly valuing business freedoms over people's lives, but to come 18 months into it as a shining example of best pandemic practice and then suddenly decide you want to experience the mass graves thing that other countries got to do is loving insane. My Twitter feed is full of people who think they must be playing four-dimensional chess to coax people to get tested, or to go get the AZ jab nobody wants anymore, but I have no trouble believing there are elements of the Liberal Party who truly believe what they're saying. The fact that it's even been floated in cabinet should be enough for every other state that hasn't already put up a hard border with NSW to implement one immediately.

Castaign posted:I wonder what percentage of those people are hesitant because the side effects of shot one were worse than they expected. We eventually got out 2nd shot on the day we were supposed to by just literally driving around town to random drugstores and asking if they had no-shows or cancellations, didn't take too many tries even but you bet your rear end I had tried to book someone on their site (it was a walgreens) and was told they didn't have any appointments for like a month+. So logistics might be a reason for a good chunk of people stuck in limbo after their first shot. Honestly I hadn't imagined at all it would be difficult to locate a second one but it was a ton of hassle for something you average person isn't exactly looking forward to.

His latest shitfuckery is to distribute flyers incorrectly claiming that 50% of the animals used in the first round of covid vaxx safety trials died.
