An aside here Chinese hegemony will be tricky cause while yea the world generally hates America, there is a particular hated and distaste for China in large swathes of Asia. Talking to relatives in Iran who just announced a free deal with them, they are not happy with it and do not like them. There just tends be a lot of white tankies here who probably have never met anyone from Asia or have any connection with them there. Also, on top of their feelings for China, covid didn't help. They absolutely could become the next superpower, but they have a lot of work to do.

my friend got a masters in animal science and his thesis was about iron deficiencies in a specific animal: the human. apparently a ton of people have iron deficiencies and it is actually extremely damaging to a whole variety of organs. The Red Cross (a blood company) uses a completely ridiculous worthless test for iron deficiency and as a result continuously worsens this iron deficiency crisis but they don't care because 1) a good iron test costs like 10x as much and 2) they sell blood, that's their business, if they turned people away they'd have less blood to sell. it was a wild defense that he passed and all the professors on his committee were enthusiastically like "we gotta publish this" and obviously no journals wanted anything to do with it.

Petey posted:my friend is trying to persuade his office to adopt masking again. he thinks the strategy to do this is to point out the costs to the office of widespread infection and resulting long covid (his office seems to be very "well it's just endemic now nothing to do be done"). does anyone have links to the best papers on prevalence and severity of long covid even among the vaccinated handy? Anyone refusing to mask after eighteen months of this won’t be compelled by a paper.

Twerk from Home posted:I'd really appreciate a quick log of your COVID experience, we haven't had many other fully vaccinated people get bad breakthrough cases. I'm wondering if being a Phase 1a healthcare worker may have worked against you, my wife is in that bucket that got vaccinated in December 2020. So I became sick rapidly, had a mild sniffle going to bed one night and by noon the next day I was so congested I was almost unintelligible. I tested and came up positive. I then began to get fever and chills. I had tachycardia with heart rate in the 120’s. I received antibody infusion and that night I lost smell and could not sleep with my heart racing and body aches. I don’t remember much of the next two days other than severe sore throat and oxygen sats decreasing to 94% and lots of sleep. By the 4th day I began to feel human again, my last fever was on the fifth day. I had a little relapse on day 6 with increased shortness of breath but thankfully that did not last long. Now on day 8 I feel back to normal except sats aren’t back to pre-covid levels and I still can’t smell. All in all I am a big believer in a booster and I feel that could have helped me resist a breakthrough infection.

This society is so loving brain wormsed with individualism that people can't comprehend that covid risk doesn't exist as discrete things independent of everyone else. I'm seeing people saying that you can't be judgemental of people's covid decisions if you aren't about kink or drugs as thought they're the same loving things.
