If I had gotten a Moderna vaccine, I would feel slightly better about having two doses under my belt, six months in, but I really doubt it’s that much better in the longer term. That’s just my feeling, though. We’ve gone over how there’s no real data.

Moderna’s vaccine is not as widely studied and will never be as widely studied because it’s not used in the same volume and in the diversity of countries as Pfizer’s vaccine.

If I had gotten two doses of Moderna’s vaccine, I would be pleased as punch to get a third.

What I got in the winter was Pfizer’s, and I don’t have a strong desire to seek out Moderna for a third (or “first”). I expect that a wider spaced spaced Pfizer vaccine is just as good and having a mixed course might give me paperwork hassles down the road. Besides which, the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine hit me decently hard. I would gladly bear a potentially stronger Moderna reaction if I thought it would do me any good, but I don’t.

Something I would really like to see is a matched cohort study of people who got their Pfizer doses spaced at four weeks because Walgreens was lazy, versus Moderna and three‐week Pfizer. It would answer some questions and it’s doable from a desk.

the only thing that would help florida right now is a lockdown, which isn't going to happen.

what is happening in florida, and all of the people dying (and soon to die) was preventable. basic precautions and vaccinations would have prevented this crisis.

ron desantis said the only issue is media hysteria and that covid isn't a problem. he also said there's nothing he can do to reach anti-vax people so there's no point in trying. that might sound better if there had been any vaccination outreach from the state government (which there hasn't).

For anyone looking for another job - The medium/large Company I work for has been amazing and is making A LOT of its roles WFH. (We had 9 new people start yesterday and 6 were remote - Next week is 12 Remote, 2 hybrid, and 3 in Office). Our Intranet indicates we have ~150 openings but I'm not sure how many of these just havent been closed on time.

Edit: We have offices in MA, CA, NV, WA, OR, OK, KS, and NY

thankfully most of my classes this coming semester that i'm attending will be small because there's only a handful of doctoral students in the business and economics departments respectively.

the lovely part is i'll be TAing classes with 60+ people and my school doesn't mandate vaccines.

I’d snap a pic but it’s on a 50mph road and I don’t want to stop and have this dipshit try to talk to me about the Chinese hoax virus or whatever.

Also my brother posted a huge rant on Facebook about how the pandemic is like when they stole the Jews guns (??) and killed them
all so he’s not going to be a pincushion. also the vaccine makes you sterile.

Basically we’re all hosed and Thanksgiving will be wild if my brother lives that long

Edit: Also found out this morning my company won’t be bringing anyone back into the office until at least Jan 2022, probably later for my division. At least they’re taking it seriously

It's really a worse situation than we are making it out to be. I mean sure, I am doing stats based on total available beds....but we're looking at Hospitals failing in the South while Boston Hospitals are operating as normal so its not nationwide - yet.

There was a company retreat, music festival, charity event last week that most of leadership within my company went to and I skipped for obvious reasons. I got my first text this morning from an attendee who has Covid… what a shock!

I do appreciate them doing their part to ensure the office closes again when there’s a massive outbreak this week.
