I'll get the booster scheduled for this week then. It's frustrating being around the people in my unit who apparently think that getting the vaccine will damage your heart and make you get a pacemaker. I just don't want to catch this bullshit.

It's the weirdest thing that Actual Health Pros are worried about what the vaccines will do to your heart (treatable mild myocarditis at worst) when it's COVID will really gently caress up your heart with the non-treatable form of myocarditis. My general conundrum is that I'm an at-home worker, but I'm starting to go to a bunch of high-capacity sports/entertainment shows. That's generally not a qualification for a booster because it's supposed to be more employment-based, and my second Moderna dose JUST went past 6 months.

Similar boat. But my wife works with the public on a daily basis, so we're both getting boosters because, why risk it? Also CVS is stupidly easy to book the appointment with.

Is it still restricted to people with special needs or risk factors, or is that by state? Nearly every American adult qualifies under one criterion or another, because criteria include: Being overweight (body mass index over twenty‐five, qualifying seventy‐three percent of Americans) Have anything to do with children or the elderly Live in a place with high rates of community transmission and/or low vaccine prevalence (that’s most counties in the U.S.) Would experience “inability to work or meet other personal obligations when infected, even if not severely ill with COVID-19” So if you live on a trust fund with no obligations to anyone, you may potentially not qualify, but realistically, it’s everyone. If you truly have no personal obligations, PM me and I’ll send you a houseplant so you have something to live for. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Nov 7, 2021 |

While we’re on the subject of boosters, this week we got a study of VA patients that sheds some light on how the vaccines are holding up.quote:For the period February 1, 2021 to October 1, 2021, vaccine effectiveness against infection (VE-I) declined over time (P < 0.01 for time dependence, Table 1), even after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidity. VE-I declined for all vaccine types (Fig. 1), with the largest declines for Janssen followed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Specifically, in March, VE-I was 86.4% (95% CI: 85.2% to 87.6%) for Janssen; 89.2% (95% CI: 88.8% to 89.6%) for Moderna; and 86.9% (95% CI: 86.5% to 87.3%) for Pfizer-BioNTech. By September, VE-I had declined to 13.1% (95% CI: 9.2% to 16.8%) for Janssen; 58.0% (95% CI: 56.9% to 59.1%) for Moderna; and 43.3% (95% CI: 41.9% to 44.6%) for Pfizer-BioNTech. Folks, if you got J&J’s shot, you really want to get a Pfizer or Moderna booster without delay. I should have mentioned this in my last post, but CDC says that anyone who got J&J’s shot at least two months ago should get a booster, not just consider it based on the totality of circumstances, but go and get it, period, irrespective of anything else. The decline in J&J’s efficacy against infection (and to a lesser degree the others) holds up across all age groups. It’s not just the elderly that are getting breakthroughs. Someone in D&D misunderstood this one, so to be clear, the sharp bend that all the curves take toward the end of July is Delta running roughshod over the U.S.. Breakthroughs are related to changes in the spacing between the vaccinated and unvaccinated curves, not directly to the height of the curve. As for the consequences of breakthroughs, in the words of the study’s authors, quote:Risk of death after SARS-CoV-2 infection was highest in unvaccinated Veterans regardless of age and comorbidity (Fig. 3). However, breakthrough infections were not benign, as shown by the higher risk of death in fully vaccinated Veterans who became infected compared to vaccinated Veterans who remained infection-free.

Iraq's Prime Minister just survived an assassination attempt - 3 drones with explosives strapped to them tried to blow him up. 2 were shot down by either AA assets or his personal security detail. One exploded at his residence, injured some in the house. I'm guessing Iranian backed militias, cuz they're pissed off as gently caress that their candidates didn't do so well in the recent elections.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:I brought my original card to rite aid when I got the Pfizer booster, there wasn't room to record the new shot so they made me a new card. Honestly I should have probably just told them to do a new one. Funny enough for my kids who got the first dose on Friday I had to remind the people doing it to make the cards. My kids were the first ones and they were just getting started with a huge queue so it’s all cool. They were super nice and kept thanking me for reminding them of certain things (nothing critical or safety related mind you).

The Gov of CO has blanket declared that living in Colorado constitutes risk factors sufficient to get a booster so everybody should go get one. So at this point I think the bar for risk factors is pretty generous.

Because that would require giving up deniability, and makes the hit traceable back to specific. COTS products and modified munitions are much, MUCH cheaper, and add not only plausible deniability, but the ability to do the attack from uncontrolled/denied airspace

The plague lands of the SLV are only something like 35% vaccinated, so I'll be getting my booster soon, probably moderna because I got J&J back in april. Rent's loving cheap though, paying less than $900 for a 2 bed.

They have a list of potential aggravating factors for COVID that are so broadly defined basically everyone who's had the vaccine already qualifies for them and their appointment system doesn't even ask you to name any reason for getting a booster, just if you qualify or not.

Also let’s not forget smoking qualifies a ton of places and I think the federal one too and no one‘s gonna ask for proof of that, plus I think past use also works.

Alec Baldwin continues to just absolutely suck: https://twitter.com/EntInsider/status/1457713040623902722 "Yes, let's introduce cops into ANOTHER place where they didn't belong previously. No, of course the issue isn't that I used an inexperienced scab armorer after the IATSE members on set walked off because of egregious safety issues; clearly, we need more police to make sure I don't kill someone again." God, seriously, gently caress this guy. I hope there aren't any dogs on set of his next film if he gets his way.
