MrQwerty posted:It is though, you're acting like we're back at the beginning of the loving pandemic and everything is totally hosed like you aren't doublevaxxed. The Science (by which I mean the CDC), says that everyone who got the J&J shot a mere two months ago should get a booster now, no other qualifications needed. A person could be a twenty-year-old Olympic athlete who has lives alone and has no public-facing job, and they still qualify because that’s how it is with J&J.

Just spent an evening reporting antivaxxers on nextdoor. They have special categories for Covid misinformation and it looks like a low number of reports gets someone hushed up, so I can thoroughly recommend doing your public service for your local nextdoor users and hiding antivax misinformation from them.

Finally have hit the 6 month mark and my doctors office will finally let me schedule a booster. Going Pfizer this time to get a real mrna mix going.

Looking like my wife has the breakthrough long covid. She was breastfeeding when she got the vaccine, and it seems the vaccine was not as effective on breastfeeding moms. She's on day 23 at least, and still feels like poo poo, chest pain, short breath, other body pains, etc.

I'm vaccinated, but I've been feeling down the past few days, and just got a positive on one of those over-the-counter tests, so I have 7 days holed up in my apartment to look forward to. Any recommendations for things to do from people who had to do this kind of thing? Also, I got hit with the "can't smell things" part of it today. That comes back for most people after the virus runs its course, right?

It is getting hard separating fact from fiction at this point though. Anti-vaxxers have more or less settled on the statistics they choose to believe. It's really hard to argue against the bullshit when there are just so. many. people. repeating the same wrong information endlessly.

my sister got her third pfizer shot at the old downtown library through the city.... kansas... maybe 400k ppl in the actual city? no questions just sign up, get shot. That's where I got my first two, i just assumed it was like an emergency thing so I didn't even think to look. I got mine at the local Dillion's Pharmacy (Kroger many places) and i just filled out a form online it was easy. No questions were asked when I showed up. Took a lot longer because the pharmacy had like 5 people in line ahead of me for medicine and they had the same line for refills and vaccines ? whatever. Anyway. Sunday 3:45 pm... at 9 pm my whole upper arm got a little sore... it wasn't the needle there was no bruising and not even any blood on the bandaid. Felt like my brother punched me in the arm twice when we were kids, no big deal. around midnight it was hurting down to my elbow and hurt to move the arm but not to lay on it.. i decided not to lay on it and went to sleep. Woke up in 4 am because my sheet were damp from a little sweat and very mild fever. It was gone 2 to 3 hours later and I went to sleep again. Arm was sore when I got up but didn't hurt to move around and the fever was gone. My finger joints were grumpy for a few hours the day after, as was my shoulder where I have arthritis. ~20 hours after dose it was all gone. I was able to go to work no problems but I'm an office worker so its not strenuous. A++ would do again. Wendigee fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Oct 29, 2021 |

Willias posted:So I don't know if this stupid virus is endemic at this point, but dear god the misinformation about it is. "The virus is now endemic" is just the new "Maybe we're already at herd immunity?" which was the new "It's just the flu, the survival rate is 99.9%!!!", it's just a catchphrase people use when they're arguing that we need to stop worrying about the pandemic but which ignores the actual epidemiological definition of the words they're using. The definition of a virus being endemic in a population is that the rate of infection is constantly maintained at a baseline level in a geographic area without external inputs. There's actually two different ways this happens, either from a reoccurring zoonotic source (people catching it from animals, eg: mosquitoes spreading malaria in SE Asia) or from a person-to-person disease achieving an exact balance between the level of infectiousness (R0) and the number of susceptible people (S) in the population, so R0 x S = 1. If it doesn't achieve that exact balance the number of cases will of course keep decreasing to zero or keep increasing and causing outbreaks depending on the situation. The infection rate in the US is clearly changing constantly and there's a whole lot of external inputs influencing that (lockdowns & masks etc) so the virus is not currently endemic, by definition. Anyone who tries to frame an argument based on the idea that the virus might be endemic is bullshitting. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Oct 29, 2021 |

i just looked up the drug and its for OCD?....calling it an anti-depresent when it's literally just an SSRI family member seems disengous. No one is proscribed this if they are depressed or anxious which is majority of SSRIs (and anti-depresents......) are they suggesting OCD medication for the general populace? side effects whatever? is it possible that people with OCD take care to wash hands, wear masks, not leave the house? I'm not sure this proves anything and its not just another of the tens of SSRIs they use to treat people with anxiety or depression, its one approved for a very specific cause... (OCD) heres a list of a thousand drugs you can't take with it. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/fluvoxamine-oral-route/before-using/drg-20066874 this is so dumb, gently caress you CNN thanks for putting out poo poo articles.

I can sympathize with having a terrible reaction to a shot and really dreading a repeat, but “doesn’t believe in vaccines” is just too much. It’s almost worse that she did actually get the one shot. That suggests that it’s not a misguided stand, it’s just flailing around, consequences be damned.

Remember that according to surveys something like 15% of people would get the vaccine "only if forced" which is not exactly a principled antivax position. They're getting it now due to mandates.
