Buffer posted:It's ok in the same sense that complaining about pants/shoes/shirt requirements is ok. Depends on the context of the "complaint." When it's a side note in a thread discussing covid, directed at no one in particular that feels like a reach.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Glad to see the 5-11 authorized. Was there any updated timeline for 2+? It's not authorized yet. Vote of the CDC's recommendation board happens this afternoon and then a EUA needs to be issued. With past EUAs, that will happen tomorrow and it will take pharmacies an additional day to distribute guidance, though that timing might be different here because the formulation itself is different. Pfizer in their earnings report today says they expect to apply for a EUA for 2+ in the first half of 2022.

Epic High Five posted:p much everybody knows the lay of the land now...since like last summer it's been every goon for themselves, someone wants to return to normal okay whatever, not like you'll change their mind especially if they post here and aren't totally clueless about the risks, same as how nobody's gonna get talked out of being respirator crew at this point. What can ya do Yeah, this is my feel as well. Excoriating people for their individual choices about covid is about as useful as doing it for climate change. The institutions have failed us and individual action isn't going to save us. If there's young, healthy, (lmao goons) vaccinated people in here who are engaging in behaviors you personally find risky, there's no real need to drag them for it, unless they're insisting that everyone else do the same. And frankly, if folks feel like this is the "lovely" covid thread, then you're free not to participate in it. As far as I'm concerned, quantity of posts and speed of a given thread does not equate to quality, so I'm not going to worry about only 5 posts in a day or whatever, that's probably a good thing for most folks' mental health anyway. Henrik Zetterberg posted:Glad to see the 5-11 authorized. Was there any updated timeline for 2+? Supposedly a few more months, but that's according to Pfizer's CEO in this article from late September in The Atlantic. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/09/pfizer-ceo-vaccine-young-children-2-4/620236/ fosborb posted:It's not authorized yet.

I think the idea is to encourage a mass movement outside existing institutions, this is kind of the lynchpin of leftist thought and can't be merely rejected as "individual action" just because there's no CDC stamp on it.

First half, uggghhh. Seems to keep getting pushed back. Before it was only a month behind 5-11. Sucks, especially for the holidays. My teenagers have all been vaccinated and I’ll be glad when my anxiety over my 2.5yo twins will finally be eligible.

How are u posted:We vaccinate everybody and get on with our lives the best we can. Not a single country that has pursued a vaccine strategy has succeeded at it. Not even Israel--they got down to a low of 9 cases a day in the summer and then delta hit and they've only now come down from 1k+ cases a day. That only country that has controlled this thing has done it with a combo of vaccines and other mitigations. At this point, two years and on course for one million deaths (both of which were things this thread and the one before vehemently argued would never happen) we have to admit the vaccine only strategy in the US is a failure. Continuing to pursue it at the exclusion of other measures will lead to more death, and particularly more deaths of vulnerable people and minorities. It's easy to flippantly say, "we just have to live with the deaths and do the best we can" but the reality of that statement is that we're going to throw 4-10% more people of color into the COVID shredder than white folks. That's borderline a genocide, folks.

Solving COVID is so loving easy its pathetic. 1) Issue national ID 2) Mobilize full defense apparatus to force all population into residential facilities. 3)Assault alternative sources of authority/religion, also anti-soul demonstrative acts Within a month you will have COVID zero and a functional Republic

How are u posted:No? Things seem like they're carrying on pretty well to me. Any examples in particular that you have to highlight your perspective? Our healthcare system is basically collapsing from the length and acuity of covid illness and the labor shortage caused by the misery of dealing with it. We have a labor crisis in pretty much every covid-risk sector, for that matter. We're losing teachers, we're losing retail workers, logistics workers, agricultural workers, etc at unimaginable rates to illness, death, covid care, childcare, etc etc. Supply chains are breaking down on a huge scale. Nothing looks remotely normal unless you're a rich or childless homer, which unfortunately describes most internet posters, thinkpiece writers, etc.

Waltzing Along posted:Man...my shoulder hurts. The way it was explained to me is that it's almost entirely tissue damage, so things like how skilled the nurse/doctor is, and the diameter of the needle, matter. When I got my first shot I didn't even feel the needle, and I wasn't looking so when the nurse said "OK you're done!" I did a double take. The second shot though was administered by a different nurse and my shoulder was sore for a day or two.

I'm seeing pictures on Twitter (from newspapers or tv channels, to be clear) of vaccines for the 5-11 age group arriving at hospitals, even though the EUA isn't out yet. For some reason this particular part of the wait is worse than most of the rest of the wait to get my (6-year-old, 9-year-old) sons vaccinated, because it's so close, I can't hurry it any, and I can't even make them an appointment at their pediatrician's office until that office's delivery of vaccines has shown up. (This part of the wait is not as bad as when the trials were still accepting new participants, because my 9-year-old kept asking me to check if there was a trial he could be in, and having to tell him no was very frustrating.)

It didn't hurt when she did it, but her technique was kinda strange. She kept squeezing the area before and during the shot. I guess to try to make a piddly little shot not hurt or something.

I haven't been watching the CDC advisory panel going on today but we should have news coming out of that shortly and they were expected to essentially rubber stamp it.

Having spikes in case numbers don't matter like they used to if the vast bulk of your population is vaccinated and thus insulated from hospitalisation and death. I'm not pleased about the new reality in which (even in a well-vaccinated society, sorry about you, America) we're going to be seeing 3-4 times the excess death as we would from the flu, and most of us are going to catch an unpleasant virus every year or so. But what's your alternative? We all remain in lockdown for another two years - or five years, or ten years - endlessly chasing the impossible?
