Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Sinovac/CoronaVac doesn't seem to be holding up very well against Delta:

https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1430532842212053001

I'm really jealous that the Chinese government is doing nearly everything in their power to protect their population, but I'm not envious in a negative way. None of us deserves this hell that we are living in, and I wish the US had the same sort of will to protect its people from harm, no matter the cost to industry.

The current Chinese strategy seems to be almost necessary with the relatively poor performance of the CoronaVac vaccine against hospitalizations. Unfortunately, a lot of other countries outside of China also rely on CoronaVac, but they aren't adopting the same strategy.

I sincerely hope these vaccine effectiveness numbers are wrong. But this situation presents a strong case for the US (and other countries with powerful vaccines vs delta) to force its companies to publish all of their vaccine IP and manufacturing processes. We need powerful vaccines vs delta in the hands of as many people as possible in the world, and relying on just a few producers for the best vaccines is harming all of us.

quote:

For example, one woman, who asked to remain anonymous, contacted KTVU this week to say that she, her daughter, and a total of seven family members, including her parents in their 70s, have now tested positive for coronavirus. She said she was never alerted by Kaiser about the outbreak, despite assurances from Kaiser that doctors called all 74 patients in the ER that day.

She and her daughter were both in the ER on Christmas Day when a well-intentioned staffer dressed up in an inflatable Christmas tree costume appeared at an impromptu gathering at work.

That staffer unknowingly had COVID and investigators are looking into the possibility that her air-powered costume spread the disease throughout the ER.

This shows that the attachment to money goes deeper than the actual utility of the money in question. If it were about the money, this person would have simply taken the money, but this is deeper. The debt is an affront to the agreed upon order. The landlord has to be paid the money by the tenant or the landlord is being disrespected, and the sanctity of this arrangement is more important than the actual money itself.

This landlord would rather not have the money they claim to need than accept the money, and with it, accept a world where the landlord’s right to be paid on time by the tenant comes second to any other material concerns or realities. The money itself is a worthy sacrifice to be made if it means making a point about how the money is supposed to flow. The point is order and cruelty to anyone that threatens that order, even in a situation where everyone is getting what they theoretically wanted in the first place.

It’s notable to me how bad people want us to live with what is clearly a lovely situation. Let’s say you personally are somehow completely immune to covid, you can’t get it or spread it, you are fine in all circumstances, trying to live like it’s 2019 is still going to be massively frustrating and disappointing.

Anything you buy tickets to has a good chance of being cancelled, restaurants are all hosed up because they’re running on skeleton crews and every other jackass in town is clamoring to performatively to go out and have fun and live their lives, bars suck for the same reasons, various supply chain issues make it expensive if not impossible to buy new categories of stuff every week, a bunch of cool places and activities don’t exist any more, they’ll have to take you behind the barn and shoot you if you break your leg doing something fun, everything just sucks. Learning to live with covid just means accepting a drastically reduced standard of living for the rest of your drastically reduced lifetime.

Looks like boosters are needed every 3 or 4 months to keep antibodies up and prevent symptomatic infection

So it's not that the vaccines are waning, it's just that the antibodies are waning

Fascinating

Note that the "booster shot" was simulated in this study by vaccinating recovered COVID patients - it's possible real world booster results are different

hmm but what if we just say you're immune and call everyone who gets symptomatically infected just evidence of how great everything is working? Clearly 95% efficacy means 5% of people are just screwed and the sooner we hit the full 5% and it doesn't include you, its over.

the rich are doing great. they're getting even richer faster than they ever have before, and on the off chance they ever do get infected they can summon an army of personal doctors and get shot up with adrenochrome and child blood just like trump and abbott did. to them, "living with the virus" means everything is the same as it was in 2019 but their wealth goes up ten times as fast

my pet conspiracy theory right now is that the elites actually do recognize the existential threat of climate change and they have decided that the only way to preserve their power & wealth while keeping the planet at least somewhat inhabitable is to simply remove XX% of the population, hence the unrelenting push to open biden

although i am probably giving the rich too much credit and it's just a serendipitous coincidence for them
