Surely a doctor isn't going to request a closer inspection of some chud's fetid arsehole to confirm the diagnosis. What the gently caress doctors have you been going to where they just prescribe whatever the gently caress you ask for? "Hey doc I need you to prescribe me a whole shitload of antiparasite medication. It's for, uh, my rear end in a top hat infection. No, you can't see it."

Realistically to get weed in a medical state you go to specially designated weed doctors who do that and nothing else. I can't speak to adderall but allegedly opiates aren't being handed out like skittles anymore.

The boosters are working then: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-finds-covid-19-vaccine-booster-significantly-lowers-infection-risk-2021-08-22/ It's kinda bittersweet, because yeah, for those of us lucky enough to live in countries with plentiful vaccine supply we'll get one if we need it, but it's just gonna mean we gobble up more and the poorest half of the world is gonna have to wait even longer.

https://twitter.com/EpiEllie/status/1429164837712576520 She’s saying what we’re all thinking. It’s a shame that society did not do enough to make schools safe in the past twenty months, but the “You can’t go virtual or even mask up! Children need that contact every moment of their young lives!” is pure histrionics.

Speaking as a parent to an 8 year old, that's a pretty glib way of dismissing just how important school (and particularly socialisation) is to kids. Kids don't just go to school to learn stuff and facts, they learn how to make friends, to encounter people they wouldn't otherwise have, etc. It's also the case that for plenty of kids, the structure of school is something they can cling to when their home life is chaotic or troubled.

This is especially true in poorer school districts like mine, where the public school provides a guaranteed two meals a day and child care before and after school for working parents.

That Dr Ellie Murray has an interesting thread on the Delta reproductive number and what it means: https://twitter.com/EpiEllie/status/1422595200615133189 It's only a little annoying in parts due to gifs. Apparently talking about an ongoing pandemic and what we can do to combat it is not interesting enough so you need to add some gifs.

Hollismason posted:What's the difference between a pandemic and a endemic. When they say Coronavirus is endemic, what the gently caress is that suppose to mean? Endemic is when it's continually circulating in a geographical area at a baseline level and never dies out, so there's always a risk of an outbreak among groups of unprotected people. In some cases that might be because the disease is zoonotic and there's a reservoir of animals which repeatedly pass the disease on to humans (malaria is endemic throughout sub-Saharan Africa and many equatorial countries except in regions which are too dry or too cold for the mosquitoes which carry it). In diseases that only pass person to person that means that the reproduction rate R0 is sitting at exactly 1, usually because a high number of people in the population are immune so spread is slowed down but never eradicated. Covid is a tricky one to predict because we already know it's circulating in animal populations. There's a poo poo-ton of white-tailed deer in the US which are covid positive but that's unlikely to become a problem unless lots of people start going out into the woods and french kissing deer, but there was also a huge outbreak in Danish mink farms and there were a few confirmed mink-to-human transmissions occurring before the minks were all culled and those strains went extinct. We know that dogs and cats and all sorts of zoo animals can catch it and even die from it but that seems rare and not much of an ongoing concern. A bigger problem is the fact that the vaccines aren't 100% sterilizing and seem to lose efficacy over time and we've also got new variants popping up which are causing a concerning number of breakthrough infections. We know that Texas Gov Greg Abbott caught covid a second time even though he was fully vaxxed and apparently had a third booster shot as well so booster shots aren't going to be a silver bullet solution either, this virus spreads like a motherfucker. E: of course the other problem is that even if a country manages to completely eradicate covid (like New Zealand and Australia and several other countries did at certain points) it's still circulating freely in the rest of the world and will always be creeping back in somehow, the whole "pandemic vs endemic" question is academic until poo poo settles down and we're still a looooong way from that point. Edit 2: I should also add that in the current context of lots of countries starting to talk about the virus being 'endemic' and throwing around the phrase "we have to learn to live with it" that this is the exact same thing they did with the phrase "herd immunity" a while back even though there's a very precise medical definition of what that actually means and no country was anywhere close to reaching that at the time (and they still aren't!!). It's a get-out-of-jail-free card that we can't actually put into play yet but if the media keep shouting about it loud enough it lets people relax and downplay all the current cases & deaths and ignore the pandemic https://twitter.com/AdrienneLaF/status/1427698200576733191 https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1429844412809596929 Etc etc ..

Being immunocompromised isn't a reason you can't get the vaccine. That is blatant mis/disinfo It's a reason the vaccine may not be as effective as it is for other people. That's it.

The only one I can think of is if you had monoclonal antibodies recently, but that's not a permanent, never get the vaccine condition.

It's not like there's been previous mRNA vaccines that you could have had a reaction to. But in theory if you had a bad reaction (like anaphylaxis or something) to the first shot they might tell you not to get the second, leaving you unvaccinated. There's also I think a tiny tiny population of people that seem to have crazy allergic reactions to all kinds of medications that might have good reason to skip it.

And they'll have documentation indicating that they're unable to take the vaccine... and there's a chance that it's just that vaccine that's not an option for them, but they're still able to take another one with medical supervision.
