I have memories of vials being split five ways after fractional doses being determined sufficient against the original version of covid-19, but my brain is pulling those memories from a time where I was really out of it. Thanks for the correction, and apologies for presenting incorrect data as fact. Each vial had five doses, but some vaccinators were able to pull out a sixth.

Thanks for the correction, and apologies for presenting incorrect data as fact. The vials has five doses then one for margin of error, pretty quickly that changed to “there are five doses if you eyeball filling the syringes but six if you use the exact amount kind” and very few places were doing the old school measuring by eye way so basically everywhere could use all six doses. But it’s six real doses.

Getting six doses out also requires low-dead-space syringes that not every facility had access to. But Pfizer got what they wanted and the federal government counted each vial as six doses delivered toward contract performance.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:I don’t know how many Pfizer patients actually were infected in absolute terms, I just skimmed the abstract, but you probably caught on to the wide confidence interval: Kuule hain nussivan posted:Yeah, my statistics knowledge is nowhere near enough to comment on anything with confidence, but I did notice the large CI range. That, combined with the fact that the CI range for hospitalization was even larger (24-93.9%) and no one cared about that, gave me a bit of hope that it's not a major case of Pfizer losing effectiveness. TheGreyGhost posted:The CIs on all of this stuff should really be telling that no one knows anything right now. NEJM's estimates were far more reassuring. If you ignore the data pre mass vaccination, I think the estimate is that 2-5% of new cases are breakthroughs right now, with the notes that A. PCR-Positive just means "this thing is here" and B. You've still drastically improved your likely outcomes even if you're a symptomatic breakthrough. At the end of the day, the thing that matters the most is that vaccination is overwhelmingly likely to keep you alive and out of the hospital, and that hasn't changed. At the same time, yeah, we're probably missing a shitload of cases, but there's a serious question as to whether they're diagnostically relevant so long as we don't understand transmission super well and don't understand like 800 other parameters here. To be honest even if the CDC was still collating data on all known breakthrough cases and updating comparative results week by week I'm not sure those nation-wide numbers would be super useful for anyone since ever state in the US seems to be enforcing wildly different levels of restrictions and NPIs and also has wildly different levels of vaccinated populations, so every state is pretty much like an entirely separate country as far as the stats are concerned. It's probably way way more useful to concentrate on your state's own breakthrough data and the test positivity levels in individual counties to figure out how much poo poo you're in right now. There's no single study about breakthrough rates that's applicable to every state/county

Pearl River is on the MS Gulf Coast. i am somewhat surprised that WLOX and WXXV, the two news stations in that area, aren't covering this story. (they did cover some other school quarantines from other nearby counties in the last 48 hours; just not this one.) the posted tweet article comes from Mississippi Free Press, who I only heard of today; which kinda sucks because it "seems" like they do decent journalism. probably some sort of partisan bias going on.

ShadowHawk posted:Do you have a theory as to why the US is currently averaging half a million new vaccinations per day? Per the KFF's polling, most of those people live in poor neighborhoods far from any of the original vaccination center and could not easily get vaccinated months ago. Months ago access was extremely good for middle and upper class white people who can take time off, and pretty mixed for everyone else. Of the people left, most plan to get it soon, a small and shrinking group of hesitants are getting swayed every day, and a bunch of conspiracy theorists simply refuse. E: In case it's unclear, the "hesitants" are not the ones screaming in public about face diapers. These literal die-hards completely reject vaccination because they think it's made from baby parts or puts a microchip in you. They are not going to be swayed by yet another calm discussion or infographic QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Aug 13, 2021 |

Good news!! Nebraska solved covid, they've barely got any case at all now!!! They shut down their covid reporting dashboard at the end of June and they currently don't report cases in counties with less than 20,000 for "privacy" reasons, which is 76 of their 93 counties. Article.

Would it be possible to sue the state or something if you don't want to send your kid to school unvaccinated? Due to the risk, where they're forcing people to go back without masks Like sue them to force them to provide a vaccine for your kid before they go back to school

The WHO report from the Wuhan lab specifically mentioned inadequate PPE use for the specimens they were studying.  It’s not an impossible thing but it also doesn’t really matter because it won’t change a drat thing.

remigious posted:Yeah, and it’s possible he may have some protection from antibodies passed to him via breast milk, but there’s not a ton of research on it. If I understand antibodies correctly, an infant who gets antibodies from breast milk will be protected only as long as it's breastfeeding. Those antibodies won't stick around, so as soon as the breastfeeding stops, the immunity will wane pretty quickly. I could be wrong though, in which case I'm sure someone will correct me.

EDIT: the details escape me at the moment, but there's a county somewhere in Nevada with no people. As a corollary, you can murder someone there with no consequences, because the law states that you have to be tried by a jury of people living in that county, which is impossible.
