I haven't been paying attention for a couple of weeks what's the latest on Pfizer kids submittal

Pfizer might apply end of Sept or October. FDA spends some time reviewing the data, the current dragging out of the booster decision does not suggest they'll be speedy. Maybe an EUA for 5-11 years old by November, in principal they can be fully immune before 2022 against WT oops.

Of course who knows, maybe they find the efficacy is much lower against Delta and/or the adverse effect rate higher and nothing gets approved. Lots of kids will likely get infected before November anyway.

Mayor de Blasio pledges outreach to families who sit out in-person classes due to COVID, but doesn’t rule out child welfare involvement

By MICHAEL ELSEN-ROONEY
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
SEP 08, 2021 AT 6:06 PM

Mayor de Blasio pledged Wednesday to use a soft touch with families fearful of the coronavirus who keep kids at home when in-person classes resume next week — but didn’t rule out the possibility of involving child welfare investigators if absences drag on.

“If, in the beginning of a school year, a parent is not ready, we’re going to keep talking to them, we’re going to keep trying to convince them,” de Blasio said. “If that goes on for a while, then that’s a different scenario.”

I'm hoping that i'll be able to convince my Pediatrician to dose my 5 year old as soon as the data is officially able to be reviewed by the public. I ain't waiting no loving 2 months for the FDA to get off its rear end if the test data is even remotely risk-positive.

TBH if COVID did drop to those levels I think we would pretty much just accept it. Notice the statement says nothing about thinking we will actually get to that level anytime soon.

Lavos ending. We got the bad one. Sorry folks. Miller ended up positioning the senile aw shucks segregationist guy to be the one stuck pressing the button, and then creepy uncle joe threw the least important of us into the volcano so that the number could grow.

It is cost benefit analysis. Every crisis gets one. May 2020 it was determined the cost was to great to lockdown so we opened up. The loss of the excess human capital that is dying is fine since those dying take up more value than they contribute.

I don’t know. Maybe the manager’s been reading too many CDC pages about how exhalation valves are bad or N95 masks should be reserved for healthcare workers. That, and honest folks doing home improvement projects, obviously. God forbid people use certified respirators to protect themselves from a deadly respiratory pathogen (that isn’t spread by racoon poo poo).

This was at an independent hardware store in a jurisdiction with a mask mandate.

They had madly overpriced elastomeric half-masks, fifty bucks for a 3m 6502. I don’t even think it was a QL. It did come with filters, but whatever, that’s like a ten dollar value.

The LNP is all about helping out themselves & their mates. They had mates in AZ Australia, the head of which being John Howard's former chief of staff, as well as mates in CSL (plus government ministers loading up their stock portfolios with CSL shares).

Greg wasn't incompetent, he was purposefully corrupt - CSL and AZ Australia were to be given monopoly control over Australia's vaccine supplies (at nearly 10x more per dose compared to European prices), and all other pharmaceutical companies were to be excluded. And honestly, it nearly worked out for them, until a very dangerous blood clotting disease was linked to the AZ vaccine.

Was reading the Wikipedia article on yellow fever for some reason and this part stuck out in the context of "learning to live with the virus":

quote:

Early history Edit
The evolutionary origins of yellow fever most likely lie in Africa, with transmission of the disease from nonhuman primates to humans.[65][66] The virus is thought to have originated in East or Central Africa and spread from there to West Africa. As it was endemic in Africa, local populations had developed some immunity to it. When an outbreak of yellow fever would occur in an African community where colonists resided, most Europeans died, while the indigenous Africans usually developed nonlethal symptoms resembling influenza.[67] This phenomenon, in which certain populations develop immunity to yellow fever due to prolonged exposure in their childhood, is known as acquired immunity.[68] The virus, as well as the vector A. aegypti, were probably transferred to North and South America with the importation of slaves from Africa, part of the Columbian exchange following European exploration and colonization.[citation needed]

COVID isn't as bad as yellow fever, but a possible outcome of it becoming endemic could be a similar situation where most people experience it as a bad cold while vulnerable/immune-naive people have a chance of getting a severe case. OTOH the yellow fever vaccine seems to provide permanent protection while the COVID vaccines ... not so much.

the police are just an uncontrollable militia, no one can make them do anything if they don't want to. they are like regional warlords. they'll gladly murder politicians or really anyone who makes them mad, a thing they do often and with impunity.
they are incredibly dangerous and "defunding" them is the compromise solution.
