Is the sinovac vaccine effective? I had thought it ended up below even j&j in terms of it's usefulness.

Why anyone thought FDA approval would change anything is beyond me.

I think it will help somewhat indirectly, because now some employers will require vaccination, and well, the military

Are some places not reporting numbers on weekends to keep their averages low

theyve correctly realized case numbers don't matter, we aren't going to shut things down, and we will permanently live with a superflu that just shortens the lifespans of everyone forever. going through the motions on testing and reporting for now, it'll be gone from public consciousnesss after the midterms

I'd say it's C-list for the vaccine tier especially how even against previous strains the effectiveness after a single shot was fairly low.

Even though it looks like just about every 1st gen vaccine requires a 3rd booster shot.

The only good thing about delta is people seem to not hang out as long. The admission to dying process seems to take about a week now. The other waves we had patients hanging out for a month on 100 percent bipap. The floors were taking patients up to 15 liters. This is going to be

I feel like 90% of this my hospital. I’m leaving in 3 weeks from the ICU. So many people have left I really starting to wonder if they will have to close, no exaggeration. Almost no techs left, some floors are at 25% of normal nurse staff. RT is leaving in droves. Even nutrition is down to skeleton staff, the food comes in styrofoam clamshells and looks inedible. So bad I was happy my folks were vented so I didn’t have to give them that food.

Started leaning on people for the off label scrip, and what I heard (secondhand obviously) is that pediatricians are trying to write it for their own kids but getting turned away at the pharmacies.

Also, that pfizer IS back to testing 20 and 30 microgram dosing in the expanded trial. Further signaling that efficacy is way down (like we all expected, I don't give a poo poo, just let me get my kid something).

Both Sinovac and Sinopharm in real world testing seems to prevent death and serious hospitalization at a rate around the 80%-90%, which isn't really much different than the mRNA vaccines, which remember, the initial efficacy rates (and none of these efficacy rates are really directly comparable anyway)were early in the pandemic before any new strains. Both produce robust titer Reponses. Obviously, the English media reporting on them are entirely fictitious just like all their reporting on anything related to China. I would think this thread should be aware of that by now.
