Yeah vaccines or other treatments like the Antibody (Regeneron!) don't help when you have symptomatic infection.

antibodies potentially help even with symptomatic infection, the threshold for effectiveness goes down with each passing day as viral load increases which is why it’s recommended to administer within the first few days of infection or exposure and presumed ineffective by time symptoms are so severe hospitalization is needed

the future holds nothing but misery and death in an increasingly chaotic failure of society. any goals or plans you may have had are pointless and impossible.

you will either witness your loved ones die or they will see you die, in pain and agony. by witness I mean that you’ll hear about it from a disinterested person over zoom because all the dying will be in a crowded corridor or former conference room in a hospital staffed by nursing students and janitors.

good thing we didn’t do anything drastic though. can you imagine the psychological impact of closing schools or another shutdown?

look, some people might have gotten bored during lockdown, that's far worse than mass death by all objective measures

Chuds also don't have any guilt about clogging local hospital worse than a toilet after a Taco bell family meal.

Most of them will also not learn or self-reflect from the experiences either after the local medical staff save their sorry asses.

kyodonews posted:

Japan’s health ministry said Thursday it has received reports from several domestic mass vaccination centers that some portion of the unused doses of Moderna Inc.’s COVID-19 vaccine have been found to contain foreign materials.

Contamination reports came from eight vaccination centers in five prefectures — Aichi, Gifu, Ibaraki, Saitama and Tokyo.

Japanese drugmaker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., which is in charge of sales and distribution of the Moderna vaccine in the country, said it is suspending the use of around 1.63 million doses as a precaution.

Hmm... after lying to get my "first" shot almost a month ago, I just got automated text reminding me to get my next dose of Moderna this Friday.

Should I go in and get my 4th shot or is there something that I'm unaware of that would make it a bad idea? I'm leaning towards to get the 4th shot since I'm in Texas and working in a very public space.

As long as the little magic balls of mRNA are intact I really wouldn't care about a couple mils of some random crud if the alternative was being unvaxxed. Assuming it's not like arsenic or something.

I read a book about that over the summer about dying and what happens to the human body called "Will My Cat eat me?" which went into details on things like this.

The thought is that the third shot might give lasting immunity, but it'll take a while to generate antibodies. Pfizer's 3rd shot showed good antibodies against Delta after a month. Whether or not the antibodies increase/decrease/maintain longer than that, they're still studying.

No one knows, honestly. Letting your immune system build up protection without additional artificial pushes is probably a good idea.

yeah florida is outright murdering people in hospitals right now. the friend that i'm burying was in for a bleed on the brain and they shoved him out of the ICU into rehab in like 36 hours despite his obvious and ongoing neurological deterioration and then brought him back to the ICU when he was discovered non-responsive

that rehab is what killed him when they forced him to do physical activity and the blood pressure spike popped/worsened the bleed but they just sedated him in bed despite him losing all ability to talk or focus and 12 hours later checked in to find to their utter amazement that he'd gone brain dead and finally sent him back to the hospital where he was pronounced dead
