oh poo poo man, good luck with that. we're still finalizing details but it's increasingly looking like i'm going to be homeschooling my kids. i'll probably be teaching them in the morning, and then i'll be doing my wfh for most of the rest of the day.

it'll be exhausting as hell, but there was a time when i was able to endure working full-time, doing grad school, and raising two little kids all at once on like 3 hrs of sleep per night. i'm doing my best to convince myself that i can make it through being stretched that thin again. we'll find out!

That sounds even more miserable than my situation. Persevere, and we’ll both get to remind our kids of the sacrifices we made to keep their lungs intact to guilt them into helping us survive a little longer in the hellscape of the mid-21st century.

is Australia gonna open er up now

The NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian (affectionately called Gladbags by everyone in Aus) is already blaming the people of Sydney for not following the rules. This is sort of a half-truth because the rules she created were just filled with loopholes to leave the house and go to work normally, were not actually being enforced until like yesterday, and she spent all last year making GBS threads all over the Victorian government's strict lockdowns. All while claiming NSW had "the gold standard" in contact tracing, which was completely overwhelmed after like a week.

Australia got lucky last year but it's conservative leadership is as reactionary as your average red-state and now we're hosed.

unless you think you know more than the AAP I'm going to trust their decision here. they're the ones who have deal with both the problems from vaccines and the problems from delta. they are telling us in very clear terms to approve the vaccines now given the available data in order to save more children from delta

their statement is reasonable

Honestly if a lot of kids were very sick of dying, Id 100% expect it to be front page news. Some parent of a kid in the trial that got sick would post it to facebook and some nutjob would run with it everywhere from there.

I've heard from an epidemiologist but can't independently confirm that there are at least some hypotheses that mRNA vaccines in developing immune systems may suppress immune response for non-targeted diseases but the whole technology is so new that nobody knows for sure. So at minimum there's some debate on the theory side of things.

Holy poo poo.

That would be very bad.

Are any non-mRNA vaccines even testing in kids right now?

it's only going to be approved for emergency use anyways which is already throwing all kinds of caution flags, liability waivers, etc. into play. it's not like FDA approving EUA vaccine for kids means the vaccine is suddenly jammed in every newborn's arm 3 hours after birth. IMHO it sounds like the professionals are in agreement there's enough data to EUA approve now. do it and let parents decide if they want the vaccine now. no more 4D chess about gaming vaccine acceptance, we already know that has totally failed and 30% of people and their kids are unreachable. don't punish everyone because of the 30% antivaxxers

Ok but it will take full approval to maybe win over hesitant parents. We're talking about the EUA right now and frankly most families willing to vaccinate their kids under an EUA would be willing to do it immediately or last month even. As long as it's vaguely effective and the adverse effects aren't somehow much worse than for the adolescent vaccines it's good enough, and easily much better than getting COVID unvaccinated. The reality is the process had been dragged out so much already that most kids will likely get Delta before getting vaccinated, which is a huge failure.

I do get that an EUA spoils the clinical trial process, delaying and making a full approval more difficult.
