mastershakeman posted:having vaccines show up this quick really made things worse in the long run didn’t they. I 100% think the govts opening up after one month in 2020 were partly due to already knowing about vaccines in the pipeline and believing they would work people are now pretending that it was ALWAYS the plan to just get everyone vaccinated as fast as possible so we can ditch restrictions (while also ditching restrictions even when that hasn't happened yet)

PerniciousKnid posted:They're laser focused on their goal of getting people out working/shopping. i mean, bidens approval is plummeting, and its largely part due to mishandling the pandemic. getting rid of masks was 100% not necessary; opening schools in the last months of the school year wasnt; and doing absolutely nothing to boost vaccination rates was idiotic. which i guess shows the dems are suicide bombers for capital’s best interests!! (no poo poo i know)

One of my coworkers at a construction site in Kansas called me yesterday. he’s been out for two weeks on parental leave, but prior to that everyone including him was an anti vaxxer. Our site had to shut down Thursday because all the workers got Covid, and this guy just wanted to tell me that he got his first shot finally… Because he was not going to risk his baby getting sick even though he was hesitant in the first place

UnfortunateSexFart posted:Sounds familiar. I thought you guys weren't doing much to prevent spread in the first place though? At least another Finn goon said so. yeah, its pretty much just masks at this point but atleast we currently have the possibility of clamping down if some area gets too bad also our media is completely silent about the situation in us, like not a peep

UK vaccination rate seems great (90% of 16+ with 1st dose, 80% with 2nd) but the deaths and hospitalisations are just creeping up day after day. we've gone all in on the vaccines saving us and the government must be hoping that cases trail off as immunity builds, but as we go into Autumn with the early vaxxed losing their immunity and new mutants circulating WHILST everyone thinks Covid is over and protection isn't necessary, this poo poo could get dire.

I note that the UK government was pretty gung ho on getting everyone infected so as to get to herd immunity. Now they seem pretty keen on getting everyone infected because herd immunity is impossible.

I’m no fancy epidemiologist but I figured that since we know all sorts of vaccines lose efficacy it would have been best to warn people to maintain pandemic hygiene while testing the early vaccinated population frequently. Oops

Oops at the time, the argument was that if you told the public the truth about the vaccine, no one would get the vaccine. so the lies had to be told or else there would be no immunity. and now there is no immunity and the people won't get the vaccine

Greg Legg posted:The very nice old lady who is a counselor at one of the schools I consult at wears a surgical mask but she asked me about my nf95 on Thursday so I'm going to try to drop one off to her on Wednesday because I have a bunch. That's really the only thing I can think of to do right now. Get people convinced to get the jab, get boosted, wear proper PPE, etc. I've probably handed out a dozen child kf94 masks by now. Countless times boosting zoro.com, behealthyusa, kollecteUSA, Kf94s, BOTN, p100, etc. A highlight was convincing my "it's just the flu bro" coworker that no it's not, and getting them to understand the hellscape we live in to the point where they were ordering proper Honeywell p100 disposable PPE on their own.

Gio posted:cdc working hard to manufacture consent of child death To be fair we really don't know if Delta is actually more severe or if it's just loving everyone getting it at once. Since we don't surveillance test we don't know. I guess the colleges might figure it out and it would be pretty funny if like 10% of vaccinated 18 year olds were positive at any given moment for an entire semester due to reinfection, but then not having any symptoms ever

kalensc posted:Canadians seeking some N95-equivalent headband-style masks for fair value ($1 each, plus some S&H) may be intrigued by Eclipse products. They had good reviews, offer a variety of sizes (including smalls for the horizontal folded types, perhaps good for kids), and a lot of technical info available on their site. Thanks for this, a full day with the ear loop style can be killer. Bought a few boxes of these to try out.

It's very easy to dismiss their success as unique circumstances that way. Very little threat to the narrative. The excuse has already been thrown around a lot.

Lol this really shows the media circus around columbine and some later shootings really drove perception of yuppies being freaked out about Their Kids Safety compared to nearly a thousand people getting gunned down in Chicago streets year in year out and no one giving a poo poo And hell it's not like it didn't happen earlier, my wife went to a super ritzy school district in the Midwest in the 80s where a crazed woman came in and shot some kids and her friends got hit. But it never really made the news or caused anyone to worry since the 24/7 news ecosystem didn't drive coverage and fear the same way

My dad who is coming to visit my newborn in 2 weeks just texted me "all up to date on Tdap combo and we just got our third covid shots" I guess he and my stepmom just walked into CVS at the end of the day and were like "we're immunocompromised, juice us up" In case anyone was still hesitant about getting a booster under false pretenses

One thing about our new endemic COVID world, what are parents who care about their newborns supposed to do? AFAIK pediatric vaccines aren't even being developed for <6mo children, meanwhile literally anyone could be walking around with a potentially serious viral infection asymptomatically. Do parents just try to super isolate the first six months? Otherwise just hope the infection doesn't affect their child too badly? Guess it's the same basic situation the immunocompromised are in, but right now it seems like every single newborn going forward is going to get COVID without any kind of vaccine protection and there's nothing anyone can or will do about it. At least with measels herd immunity mostly exists.

We had to super isolate with our newborn because our town of turbo blues had an ongoing measles outbreak the same time our kid was born. All the yoga hippie moms with husbands who made mid six figgies were refusing vaccinations or demanding they be spaced out super far apart. (those same moms now lecture everyone about the importance of getting covid shots asap)

Do parents just try to super isolate the first six months? Otherwise just hope the infection doesn't affect their child too badly? You have to do this anyways. The relatively low amount of herd immunity to Pertussis means that you should tightly control access to a newborn until they've finished their TDAP cycle at 6 months.

They've studied vaccinated pregnant women, and they do pass on antibodies to the babies. So they can have SOME protection. As much as the vaccines offer anyway.

My parents are NPR libs and my wife's parents mainline TV news so they are all vaxxed but are also full open Biden and won't even consider a booster or isolating until the authorities tell them to because why would they, COVID is over.
