Others will only look whether it looks right (there is an animation playing on the QR code app so you can't just present a screenshot). Still others don't bother. Those cyborgs are lying about the animation. Report them.

When it’s said like this.... gently caress. So as long as covid is around it will just keep picking people off, even if they survive it the first time? https://mobile.twitter.com/FalconryFinance/status/1443269804953980932

Got shot #3 today. As with the previous two, no symptoms to speak of - I barely even felt the pinch of the needle. Keeping your arm limp is the best strategy there. I don’t know if I’m an outlier but these vaccines have felt like a nothingburger with regards to how I’m affected afterwards and I don’t understand how some people are laid out completely for days when I’m feeling virtually nothing. Weird. The place was nearly empty though so I have my doubts about how many people are going to take this one. Basically my little booth and I think one other were operating.

There should be rules against posts like this. 1: Who the gently caress is that? 2: How do they know any of that? Now, maybe the person that tweeted it is a world class immunologist or some other kind of expert in covid-19 and that tweet is dead on the money. Or maybe it's just some random talking out of their rear end.

If it came from CSPAM I'd be highly suspicious. Just like getting information in here without sources. Like that twitter post that isn't official and has no sources either. edit: not saying any of this stuff isn't true, we've all heard stuff like this

Everything I've read indicates that long term side effects are correlated with primary infection severity, which makes sense since almost dying will gently caress you up more than having a sniffle for a week.

Proficient Scoundrel posted:I posted a little about this in the lol thread, but I'm just really upset and need to vent about COVID. If it helps, you're not the only one in this situation. There's been a lot of CSPAM goons reporting really similar experiences with their families, quite often with family members flat out lying about their vaxx status or hiding covid infections or holidays they'd taken to hotspots or lying about quarantining. Also a fair few going along to parties which they'd been told would be outdoors & distanced and weren't. There's also been several CSPAM goons who attended other people's "covid safe" weddings which weren't covid safe at all (one had distancing for the most part but then bussed all the attendees to the reception site in crowded minibuses) and afterwards found out that a significant portion of the guests & family caught covid at the event.

This led to the conspiracy that people who booked Pfizer appointments were actually secretly given the AZ vaccine. It's so mind bogglingly dumb but so are most people it turns out.

My county in Kansas is giving it boosters to anyone that shows up. Your supposed to be: "Age 18 years and older with one or more underlying conditions ▪ Age 18 years and older with increased risk for COVID-19 because of workplace or institutional setting “that puts them in contact with people within 6-feet for more than 10 minutes,” Health Director Adrienne Byrne said. People with underlying conditions include those with serious or chronic health conditions and those who are overweight or obese, pregnant women and smokers, according to the CDC. No proof of an underlying condition is necessary, Byrne said, but vaccine recipients must attest that they are eligible. “We will not be asking for any proof of medical conditions or where someone works,” Byrne said." https://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article254567137.html#:~:text=Age%2018%20years,works%2C%E2%80%9D%20Byrne%20said.

Mild can still be bad. Remember that study of college athletes? Young, healthy guys in the prime of their life and months after infection 15% of them had signs of heart injury. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/ja...utm_term=091120 quote:Of 26 competitive athletes, 4 (15%) had CMR findings suggestive of myocarditis and 8 additional athletes (30.8%) exhibited LGE without T2 elevation suggestive of prior myocardial injury. COVID-19–related myocardial injury in competitive athletes and sports participation remains unclear. It's a worry if a cohort that should be among the very healthiest and lowest-risk Americans available has long term damage after covid. It was a small sample size so maybe it's just a coincidence or all those guys had some other factor in common. Maybe they were all snorting weasel dust to get through finals or something.

The mortality pressure on people of reproductive age is pretty small, so I don't see how this works at all. Unless he just means "endemic COVID will continue to kill off older and high risk people", which... okay fine, but that's not a "selection pressure" in the adaptive sense because people will continue to become old/high risk at the same rate. E: (this is probably a grimmer scenario than "humans will adapt!") EE: Mortality isn't the only mechanism for selection pressure but I still don't see how endemic COVID will have a significant enough effect on reproduction and survivorship for any pressure, let alone pressure towards increased immunity.

His take is, we're going to keep catching this, and it's going to keep ravaging the bodies of those genetically most vulnerable to it. You might not die after your 3rd bout with covid, but it will age your organs and defenses and make you even weaker for round 4.

If SARS-CoV-2 is more likely to cause these kind of reactions we've unfortunately had more than enough cases for this to be showing up by now, surely?

If we're all just posting 'stuff we saw in articles that we're totally unqualified to filter' then Private Eye's regular health correspondent reports there is a lot of garbage, small-sample, non-randomised research being done at the moment because Covid is an express ticket to publication and/or online publicity. I really don't think picking articles off medical twitter is an effective way to do your own research. The effective way is that actually it can't be done. We aren't competent to assess what we're reading and nobody cares what we think in any event; the modern individual is surplus to economic and political requirements.
