is there any reason I should get the booster now at 5 months? any adverse effects reported from boosting too early?

so this seems to say if you beat the original SARS and got a COVID-19 vaccine you are now immune to any related coronavirus?

this means there's already an underground trade going on for SARS survivors to extract their blood

as far as i know no, there are no clear adverse effects. now is fine imo, in fact i did it now because it takes a few weeks to spin up the best protection and the next month or so will likely be the peak of transmission until everyone panics and shuts down schools again

i don't know where the 8 month guideline the cdc came up with came from.

it's not that the right thing is unpopular with a huge part of the country. today, the right things to beat the pandemic are very popular with the majority. vaccine mandates have majority support according to polls these days, and paying people to stay home in the form of trump/biden/bernie bucks were of course overwhelmingly popular. popularity with the majority of the population doesn't matter, they're worried about popularity among the 1% of people who do matter

I mean, there's certainly the donor thing, too, but the Dems are loving obsessed with chasing Republican votes (who basically hold the same views that their donors do). They're the "large parts of the country" I meant, but I guess I could have been clearer about that.

There's no indication of any adverse affects. Israel has been giving boosters for their elderly that have had their second 5 months ago.

TEL AVIV — Israel's Health Ministry on Thursday announced plans to start a coronavirus booster campaign for adults over 60 who received their second shot at least five months earlier, because of risks posed by the vaccines' apparent waning efficacy and the current wave of covid-19 cases.

I'm actually super loving worried about the next 6-8 weeks. like. it is now virtually guaranteed that millions of children are going to be infected with covid-19 — probably north of 75% of the entire school-age population, especially the elementary demographic — and the sheer overload of the health system this will cause is going to kill tens of thousands of children in the space of a month or two. I am deadass actually expecting that we are going to be facing down a hundred thousand dead children by some point in October. and I have no loving idea what happens after that. what happens after the biggest child mortality crisis in this country in more than a century, and this one self-manufactured.

like, the leadership and certain parts of the bourgeoisie are going to try to not give a poo poo beyond platitudes, and at least at first I expect a Sandy Hook-esque shrug, but by the time the death wave really sets in, even at only like 50,000 dead that's going to be six digits worth of parents who are just. just totally and completely out of their minds with grief and rage. and power will try and do nothing, and. they're going to want to express their anger.

i'm not predicting ~~civil war~~ because i don't expect it to be a war; war implies some level of organization. i just keep imagining this white-hot ball of rage erupting all across the country, and. it'll just be people doing poo poo because gently caress it, our children are dead, our world has already ended, and so far nobody has given a gently caress. well we'll make you give a gently caress.

3rd shot in theory could last a long time, but there's no data yet since Delta is so new

If a variant comes along that completely evades the current shots and the upcoming Delta boosters, we're going to see some serious poo poo

The 3rd dose data shows we're all now super immune to Wild Type and Beta, so its's nice to know that if the entire world would have did actual lockdowns, we would have been fine

Humanity had all the tools needed to survive, but it just kept stepping on a rake over and over again

Influenza vaccines, also known as flu shots or flu jabs, are vaccines that protect against infection by influenza viruses.[2] New versions of the vaccines are developed twice a year, as the influenza virus rapidly changes.[2]

Yeah that’s the plan, as far as there is one.

Governors don’t want to act because it’s political suicide. Same for state legislators. Because of Federalism the Biden admin can’t do much, and what they can do is even further limited by ideological and political fears.

The first elected official to really admit everything is falling apart might realistically have to worry about a lot more than getting re-elected, especially in Florida or Georgia or somewhere. If all the death is baked in and we can’t actually do what we need anyway (banning interstate travel, actual lockdowns, contact tracing), who gains anything by rocking the boat?

Sadly a whole lot of people are going to die but that’s a consequence of the entire rotten structure, not one or two dipshits who became governor somehow.

Famous last words.

The most annoying thing about covid destroying the last bastions in the western world is that I wasn't able to lose any weight in the last 18 months despite doing everything I could without gyms open. I drank nothing but goddamn water this entire time and walked home from work every day. I only eat two healthy meals per day, no snacks. Yet I'm still 30lbs overweight with high blood pressure and asthma and covid knocking at my door. Cut me some loving slack world.

I think my and my partner both gained about twenty pounds apiece during the last year and a half, completely unsurprising since we spent the darkest months of lockdown and mass death Spring sitting in our apartment like Toad and Frog shoving cookies into our mouths, but even after Open Biden Ford and me taking an average of 15k steps a day, nada. My body is insistent that we keep this twenty pounds. He has the blood pressure of a geriatric rabbit and I get fatigued washing my hair, despite it all. It loving blows.
