to be clear, I have no idea if the paper itself is good or not, I haven't read it, but zeynep is a sociologist who just blogged a bunch about covid and directly contributed to a narrative that is currently filling all of our hospitals

Joint CDC and FDA Statement on Vaccine Boosters
The United States is fortunate to have highly effective vaccines that are widely available for those aged 12 and up. People who are fully vaccinated are protected from severe disease and death, including from the variants currently circulating in the country such as Delta. People who are not vaccinated remain at risk. Virtually all COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are among those who are unvaccinated. We encourage Americans who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect themselves and their community.

Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time. FDA, CDC, and NIH are engaged in a science-based, rigorous process to consider whether or when a booster might be necessary. This process takes into account laboratory data, clinical trial data, and cohort data – which can include data from specific pharmaceutical companies, but does not rely on those data exclusively. We continue to review any new data as it becomes available and will keep the public informed. We are prepared for booster doses if and when the science demonstrates that they are needed.

People here are now talking about how quarantines and distance learning is coming back, but I don't think so. I work for the school district and masks aren't even mandated at schools, just "encouraged." The only time the kids have to wear masks is on the school bus. The classes are packed. It's hosed!

I'm at a meeting now where masks were mandated and the presenter has had her loving mask over her chin the entire time. WONDERFUL

Stereotype posted:

like i'm worried they're going to stop going to the hospital when they can't breathe, but i think they still will. they don't trust hospitals or doctors, they don't believe doctors saying that the vaccine is safe, they think that ventilators are what kills you, and they are mad that the doctors aren't giving you a high enough dose of horse dewormer or something. doctors are at hospitals and so why would they go there? just ask more frantically on your facebook message board until you lose consciousness.

but then they also go to doctors to ask about dick pills.

I think I have the part you’re missing. When you enter into any situation where you could potentially give someone anything north of zero pennies, you become a Customer, and that means you are Always Right, and anybody who says otherwise isn’t getting your Hard Earned Dollar. There’s a very common type of American who will not part with a dollar unless the recipient dances for him a little. Whether the recipient is a bum with a funny sign about suing his ex wife, or a doctor who says his only problem is that he doesn’t have these pills that will make his penis important again, homeboy’s only going to part with a dollar if he likes what he’s spending it on.

Dr Don’t Eat Horse Paste Or You’ll Die Next Month can go gently caress himself, I’m gonna take my dollar to Dr Tractor Supply where they appreciate a paying customer.

quote:

Tonight at 2000, we will admit our 6th baby born to an unvaccinated, Covid mom on ECMO. I’m currently caring for a 26wk premie who’s mom passed away last night after the family removed life support. He never met his mom- she survived on ECMO for 23 days before suffering arrest and brain damage. They have 2 other kids at home.

Tonight’s delivery will be a 28 weeker. Mom has been on ECMO for 2 weeks and they haven’t been able to get her sats above 70% for 2 days so it’s time to take baby before we lose them both. They told Dad to expect Mom to survive for a day or so after delivery.

This will be our 6th baby that will never meet their mom since Covid started. We always hear moms say they worry about what the shot will to do baby, but they never consider what not getting the shot will to do baby. I’m not sure how much more I can handle.

Update: I got a lot of great questions so I thought I’d address them. Our 6th baby was born tonight and she’s doing well all things considered for a 28 weeker. Mom worsened after surgery but I clocked out and don’t know much more beyond that.

We don’t automatically deliver Moms on ECMO. Baby remains on continuous monitoring and if we see the baby is worsening or mom is nearing death we operate if it’s the partner’s wishes. Typically moms don’t tolerate the csection well and delivering the baby doesn’t necessarily mean mom suddenly improves, so we avoid delivery to allow baby time to grow if at all possible.

None of our babies have tested positive for Covid. We resuscitate/transition in private rooms adjacent to the ORs to avoid exposure once baby is out. We test the babies at 24h, 48h and 7 days old. They stay in isolation until all 3 tests are cleared meaning partners/spouses can’t visit until the 7th day.

I live in a very anti-vax, low education state. We are the main nicu in our city. I’m sure my experience is jaded by our higher numbers. I’m hoping those of you in higher vaccinated areas are having a much more pleasant time.

I am enrolled in a therapy program. Covid has completely screwed me up, I’ve never held so many motherless babies or taught so many young widowed partners learn to care for a baby on their own. I highly suggest reaching out for help if you’ve been absolutely shattered by caring for the Covid+ yourself.

We're scaling back the already insufficient testing massively, ending the last remaining restrictions, and downgrading COVID from a critical illness. Nurses have just been forced out of strike by the government. I'm just waiting for them to declare masks illegal again. It's going to be illegal to protect yourself from a respiratory pandemic. :lmao:
