lmfao now members of the house are asking, Where The gently caress Are The Child Vaccines!??

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/568268-over-100-lawmakers-ask-fda-about-timeline-for-vaccines-for-children

quote:

A group of more than 100 House lawmakers on Tuesday sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asking for an update on its timeline on authorizing COVID-19 vaccines for children, given the current "alarming" situation.

"As transmission rates increase and schools reopen for in-person instruction, parents need to know when their kids will be able to get vaccinated," states the letter, led by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Katie Porter (D-Calif.).

The lawmakers wrote that they "respect the scientific process and the FDA’s dedication to safety," but say that the current rise in cases due to the delta variant adds urgency to the situation. They request a briefing from the FDA within 10 days on its timeline and where it is in the process of reviewing data from vaccines for children under 12.

"The current situation is alarming for parents, whose children ages 2-11 will be in months of school without vaccinations available," the lawmakers wrote.

Pretty sure the jabby department still knows how many jabs I've had. For Aussies/Kiwis they just link it to their Medicare card and done. But for us dirty immigrants they need us to tie it to our "individual health identifier" which itself took a lengthy process to acquire and then get permission to tie it to our "myGov" online account, which is the part I'm stuck on. So no proof for me. And our Premier has already said you're going to need vaccine proof for everything including poo poo like restaurants after we have enough supply for everyone to get a jab.

Those would be preferable situations to my actual predicament, which is they have record of my jabs but won't let me produce proof to anyone who needs it to allow entry etc.

Edit: kind of a genius way to prevent immigrants from interacting with society though tbh. Gotta hand it to the Aussies.

Right? I was overjoyed to hear that these kids are brainworm-resistant.

Forseti posted:

If everyone in your schooling group is vaccinated ans some of their homes are not, they're probably safer in the group to be honest. (snip)

This is a real concern, yeah. The event that brought this whole issue up was a kid who'd been living with his adult brother over the summer, who is now trapped in that household because on the day he was set to return home, his mother and grandmother both popped positive with breakthrough infections. Now everyone is wondering about their safety in households where parents have to go to work, or where a parent refuses to get vaccinated. And honestly, I'm not sure what to tell them that won't induce unreasonable fear in impressionable kids. Not unreasonable because there's no danger, but because emotions run high with teens, especially when their families are involved, and it's a fine line to walk between instilling caution and discipline, and instilling the kind of fear that's debilitating.

mod sassinator posted:

Can the schooling be structured and implemented to enforce mask use at all times, improve classroom airflow, etc?
(snip)

Then I'd get boosters for the teens as soon as they're eligible. It's just an extra layer of protection on top of the airborne spread mitigations already in place.

Masks up, ventilate, distance... it all helps.

They're all homeschooled (some closer to unschooling) with zero classroom time and no contact with other students except at a weekly outdoor park day that will hopefully stay canceled, though a couple of them attend ice skating classes. My work with them is entirely online these days, for the safety of everyone involved.

"As soon as they're eligible" is something I've been thinking a lot about. It wouldn't surprise me if we got a situation where, for example, the science pointed toward getting 12-17s boosted at six months, but authorization for those boosters doesn't come until 8+ months. Hopefully it just becomes a blanket authorization for a third shot whenever, or if not, that the kids feel confident enough to bluff a Walgreens clerk.

Treat covid like everyone is smoking, and if you might smell cigarette smoke, you need to wearing a 95%+ mask.

You know how sometimes you can get a wiff of smoke from someone far away, and sometimes you can walk by a smoke and not smell anything? Or how inside a room there's no escaping the smoke? Treat covid like that.

younger people might not die too often, but brain fog sucks, and heart problems break your dick.

I love this, it's a very accessible description and I'm definitely going to use it. Thanks!

Reading more about Abbot testing positive and it's clear we'll never see again the fun insanity of Trump's COVID case. These high level GOP ghouls are too smart and evil to actually believe what they're telling people. While banning mask mandates they're tested twice daily while triple vaccinated and getting intensive pre-emptive medical care the second they test positive. Sure Regeneron might not be effective against delta but Imdevimab still is and I bet Abbot's doctor's know that.

Meanwhile Trump was such an actual fool he refused to get tested even after getting visibly sick and resisted care until hospitalization was imminent. And of course he live-tweeted it. It's not happening again, and people getting excited about Abbot's case are setting themselves up for disappointment.
