that /r/nursing post linked before had a couple ICU nurses saying they get over 50% recovery for covid ECMO patients.

because they only give it to the healthiest possible patients, making that an absolute best-case rate.

ECMO looks very slightly preferable to death. Even if you survive ECMO, there's likely to be all sorts of complications and damage caused by the ECMO itself. I honestly hope that I make it through my entire lift without every needing anywhere near that level of medical intervention, and if I'm elderly and facing it, you had better believe my family or I are saying no.

this is really good news that vaccines will help prevent any covid surge

Also Israel despite the promising start to the nationwide mass vaccination campaign is only at around 60% as of today since
many groups like Ultra-conservative are refusing to vaccinated.

Plus they went with Pfizer and also Pfizer's standard 21 day interval between shots.

The most critical consideration is the dosage, the phase 2/3 trials in kids that I am aware of are studying varying doses by age and a prescriber really needs that info before ignoring the AAP and FDA. That also means vaccine centers will need training to ensure safe administration of the proper dose.

All very doable and in relatively short order if we had a functional healthcare system but well… *gestures all around*

I have two kids in a phase 2/3 Pfizer trial. Dosage was determined during phase 1 in the trial series that we're participating in.

The dosage is lower than adult for age 5-12 and lower still for 18mo-5y, I can dig up specifics if you want but you're not going to find a doctor outside of a trial who will administer a nonstandard dose, that's just unfortunately not the way all of this seems to work. We were notified about the vaccine induced myocarditis as part of informed consent, but some of the context around that is that adolescent males have the highest all-cause myocarditis, so it's not a huge surprise that they're seeing the highest rate of vaccine-induced myocarditis. Guess what, it's still a really low rate overall, and less dangerous than covid even to these age groups.

Right now, I think that getting into a trial is the best shot you've got, but most of them seem done recruiting.

Probably going to be tough to find any considering the American Academy of Pediatrics made an official statement yesterday against giving off label vaccination to kids. This is despite the AAP also petitioning for EUA for the vaccine in children earlier this month.

I would be truly surprised if, between chud pediatricians, careful pediatricians, chud pharmacists, careful pharmacists, rear end in a top hat pediatricians, and rear end in a top hat pharmacists, if anyone is getting off-label vaccinations for their kids.

If anything happens to a kid that can be even tangentially related to either the vaccine or COVID, that clinician just threw their entire career away.

I say this as someone who would happily get their kids an off-label shot, but who is also a clinician. There are some risks you just don't take as someone whose livelihood depends on the (lack of) goodwill of the state and of your patients.

Kiddo went back to LAUSD last monday, KN95ed up.

Tests were wednesday - 2 day turnaround
On friday - 5 positive students, case rate 50/100k vs. 30/100k in the community
Yesterday -1 of those positive students was in kiddos class, they quarantined a 3 foot zone around the positive

I'm back in that strange place where chit-chat has sorta dried up because everyone now falls into two categories:
  • They're taking the pandemic seriously and when you say "So what have you been up to?" the conversation is depressing.
  • They're not taking the pandemic seriously and when you say "So what have you been up to?" the conversation is horrifying.

I got my mom a secureclick respirator but she doesn't want to scare the kids lol

Tell your mom about your nurse friend, Lovelyn, who volunteered at a childhood vaccine clinic wearing her elastomeric, and none of the kids were afraid (of the mask. They were very afraid of the needles). Most thought it was cool!

I posted before about my office celebrating going Open Biden with a staff breakfast and then having someone pop positive by lunch. They did contact tracing on everyone at the breakfast, found that nobody there was masked, but decided not to quarantine anybody because everyone was eating so it didn’t count.
