nah they've been third dosing for almost a month: https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-begins-administering-3rd-covid-vaccine-dose-to-the-elderly/ over 10% of israel's entire population has a 3rd dose now I think I read

Article says Israel started boosting the elderly on July 30th

Study about third-dose breakthroughs in Israel dropped on August 18th:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonath...sh=4c6839cb69af

quote:

Initial study results published Wednesday by Maccabi Health Services found 37 people out of 149,144, or 0.02%, who received three doses of the Pfizer vaccine have tested positive for Covid-19, compared to 1,064 of the 675,630 people, or nearly 0.2%, who only received a second dose in January or February.

If the incubation period is ~3 days, that means the breakthroughs all contracted COVID less than 16 days after their third shot

Exception would be the breakthroughs who were immunocompromised - I think there were 3 according to another article, and they would have received a booster in mid-July.

This is a big problem with all of these Health Department / School Board meetings. No one goes to them except psychopaths. There were 4 hours of comments at the health department meeting about requiring masks only for kids under 12 on Thursday. 4 hours.

Pfizer's data shows max titers against Delta one-month post-3rd dose, and there's no way any of Israel's 3rd dose breakthroughs didn't contract the virus sooner than that - they didn't start administering shots to the elderly until a couple weeks ago.

It's possible Delta antibodies keep increasing post-3rd dose, but it's too soon to tell.

Notice the "estimated potential for up to 100-fold increase in Delta neutralization post-dose three" bullet point - I'm guessing titers were still increasing in test subjects when the data was published at the 1-month mark

about 20 years ago, i remember someone coming through my granny's neighborhood and ordering that all of the citrus trees be chopped down. she was heartbroken to lose her beloved backyard citrus. they were trying to halt the spread, but they failed. i should have known it for an omen

New Orleans has a mask mandate and a vaccine passport mandate for restaurants, gyms, bars, etc.

The rest of the state may as well be Mississippi though, so I'm sure there are no restrictions outside of Orleans Parish.

In Oregon, Superintendent Marc Thielman of the rural Alsea School District told parents they can sidestep the governor's school mask requirement by applying for an accommodation for their children under federal disabilities law.

In a letter to educators this past week, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said she was shocked that Thielman was undermining her policies by “instructing students to lie” about having a disability.

:getin: I run a border collie/pit/boxer/abunchofothershit mix who is currently training an australian cattle dog with me because she's almost 10. nothing fucks with her. In six months, nothing will gently caress with either of them. the acd pup already moves my entire flock of adults and she's 12 weeks old, she just gets a little unsure if she should continue all the way around the pen when she comes near me.

What meme are you talking about?


The picture of a paramilitary type LEO in combat gear posing in front of a flock of sheep with his AR-15 at the ready. All herd dogs work through the threat of violence but a dog that decides to start ripping out throats or worrying your lambs and ewes into weight loss on its own is kind of useless. A well trained dog isn't a problem.

I love acds. (I love any herd dog - they're fascinating.) They're a bit intense but you kind of have to be with cattle. Those fuckers would far rather kick you in the head and kill you than move.

I actually like sheep too but we're in a cougar breeding ground. I don't want to watch my profits getting eaten up like some of my friends have. Can't really blame the cougars, I was the one who decided to move into their forest. Christmas trees seem like a better choice. Bit boring to herd though.
