It's fine, when the next variant comes from an unvaccinated country they'll just order more boosters again.

How are u posted:Apparently Razer's gamer respirator mask for True Gamers and rave kids is actually available now. Just imagine how filthy that mouthcover is going to be once it's slathered in a coat of boogers, facial oils, and condensed breath of Cheetohs and Bawls energy drink. A breeding ground for variants we can't even begin to imagine.

Mischievous Mink posted:My local rite aid let me get my third and I don't have any physical disabilities or specific risks, which I was up front with them about. I don't think the answer is a definitive yes or no, it seems like it'll vary for folks. Got my 3rd Moderna shot today at RiteAid when I signed up for the flu shot. At first the person in the pharmacy said they are not allowed to give boosters unless “corporate” allows it and pointed to the computer. I said it was 8 months since my second shot and I had high exposure due to volunteering at a drug and alcohol treatment facility. When I went into the little room the pharmacist asked my reason again but had the shot ready for me. Sore arm so far, will report any other issues.

I haven't heard poo poo all about boosters here (in BC, Canada) and I just googled it and they are not recommending them for general pop yet, just immunocompromised people and maybe some LTC seniors/healthcare workers. I don't think it's really in the public consciousness yet, most of the airtime is taken up with the vaccine mandates/anti-vaxxers being nobbers

The people who qualify so far pretty much were all people who got the shot early and were stuck on the original 3-4 week shot schedule. I think they're also waiting to see how the longer shot schedule affects things since an optimal booster time may be different for someone who got their second shot 3-4 months after their first. Either way, effectiveness still seems pretty strong here and cases are dropping in places with minimal NPIs.

Ok, so (US-centric analysis of best practices): If you are wealthy: get booster, test daily, mainline remdesivir the moment you pop pos. If you are pmc, get booster from your gp, work from home, have groceries delivered, subscribe to a dozen media platforms, maybe get a dog and go for daily walks (masked, outdoors) If working class: get booster, wear elastomeric when outside the home If poor, solo: scam booster, isolate as much as you can, mask up as much as you can, grind for usd however you must (maybe fly a sign, head to a grainger brick and mortar, buy an elastomeric, and hitch to a port to look for work), use phone best you can to keep connected with friends and loved ones (and engage in direct action). If poor, living with roommates that don't adopt best practices: ??? [This is me, and I'm grinding for usd wearing an elastomeric, but I have an octogenarian fully vaxxed roommate, an unvaxed 50yo covid-ignoring roommate, and a 30yo science-informed roommate (who, informed by science, knows he's not at severe risk and just finally at long last lost his virginity - and he's on ssdi for verbal dispraxia resulting from horrible child abuse, so at least he's not gonna bring it home from 'work'), plus two outdoor cats - it's almost inevitable the unvaxxed roomy catches it at some point, probably infecting the ol' man and potentially killing the boths of them - and maybe even me, but I boosted a booster two months back- shoutout to cspam!] I don't have the energy to continue but you see what I'm getting at Noone will save us, who should /you/ trust?

Just a reminder that Israel started giving booster shots (at five months) to everyone over 60 at the start of August and by the end of the month it was everyone over 12. I’m assuming the people denouncing cspam for noticing this and taking about boosters that month must have missed this. Or they have a distrust of Israel in particular for some reason. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Main Paineframe posted:I'm not really clear on what you mean by this, could you elaborate? I don't agree with their insinuation but Israel started boosters before the USA and some people decided to base their decision to get boosters on that. It came up in the initial FDA booster hearing that they weren't really interested in Israeli data because it was foreign data and they have a general policy of basing decisions off of domestic data. Which makes sense for the FDA in general because that's the data that's subject to USA controls and standards whereas foreign data can differ in all kinds of ways. However, for the individual it's not particularly irresponsible to get a booster based on Israeli standards. When people say you should wait for official government guidance... well that IS official guidance of A government, and it's not the kind of advice that becomes bad just because you live on the other side of some national lines. If it's good for an Israeli then it's good for an American. So long as you trust Israel when it comes to the medical care of its citizens of course. And I don't recall any reason to distrust Israel on that matter (for general pop, I would not at all trust anything they aimed at certain demographics). Plus it was the advice rich and powerful people in America were also following already, which we knew from a couple admitting it. I really, really don't see a good reason to call out any American for getting a booster in the period after Israel started it and before they were approved in the US.

What do you all think about what's going on in Florida right now? When they were spiking it was all over the news but according to today's data on the NYtimes Florida currently has the lowest amount of cases per 100k out of any state except Hawaii.

Avian Pneumonia posted:What do you all think about what's going on in Florida right now? Florida since the start of summer has been reporting their cases in such a way that it always looks like they're on the downswing, it's gonna be a lot longer than a single week of suspicious reporting before anything they report can be trusted Most charitably, COVID has since the start come and gone in waves. Florida was the first to really face to Nurgle so they're gonna be the first to leave his lingering embrace. There's a reason why all the media fawning is firmly abstracted and not about actually dead people

It’s not some complete measure of every factor on how a disease is going, it literally is just a measure of the average number of people an infected person infects.

Our waves seem to be every 6-8 months, so with Delta on the decline now we should be due for the next one in May-June when school lets out.

And I don't recall any reason to distrust Israel on that matter (for general pop, I would not at all trust anything they aimed at certain demographics). I don't have any particular reason to distrust Israel's covid data out of hand, but I do want to drill down on this part of your post here. You must not have heard of what Israel was doing to its own Black Jewish population a few years back. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jan/30/forced-contraception-jewish-ethopian-women So when you posted the words I quoted above I immediately thought of this, and it's a very good reason to not blindly trust that Israel is 100% a good faith actor when it comes to the medical care off its citizens.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:So the Pfizer booster is probably better because it's a full dose, right? I'm not sure anyone qualified to answer that is still willing to post here but that sounds like spurious reasoning at best. Bigger/more doses does not necessarily translate to better/more protected, just like getting 4 boosters by using fake names at various pharmacies isn't going to make you super protected. If you have access to a doctor, I'd ask what they recommend, but the only answer well-suited to this thread is "get whatever booster you can, if you're eligible." I wasn't fully vaxxed until end of May, so I'm planning on going in for one next month.

Not too far back someone linked a twitter post "ranking" the mix-n-match combinations based on data showing antibody levels. I can dig it up later tonight when I have a few minutes or if someone finds it, repost I guess? That's if you have a choice in your area, though. Probably not worth going out of your way to get one booster over another, but that's just my 2c
