mod sassinator posted:i think that tweet from someone who mutated the spike of omicron and found it would bind stronger to ACE2 than any antibody we could create. the implication being if it got in a human there is no way its immune system could clear the virus--it would happily replicate and the immune system would fail to kill it. it would just go and go until dumb luck makes it stop or it has destroyed enough important cells in likely your lungs that you're dead but that's not how bonds work. a spike protein that has an antibody stuck to it won't drop that antibody and seek out an ACE2 receptor because it isn't a matter of the ACE2 being a stronger bond but a matter of somehow getting the energy to pull the antibody off, then bond to the ACE2. same goes for a virus that is stuck to the cell in the middle of merging with it, an antibody might stick to another spike on the surface of the virus but it isn't going to lever the other one off the cell. it also isn't how antibodies work. antibodies work by clumping up a bunch of viruses (an antibody that is bonded to a target becomes extremely sticky to other bonded antibodies, quickly creating a big blob of viruses that can't move and is easy pickings for immune cells) or by sticking to cells that are expressing viral proteins on the surface leading to other immune cells that regularly come by killing the cell before viruses can bud off. the binding strength possibly being so high is a really big lol for infectiousness but doesn't mean you can't clear the virus.

genericnick posted:Haven't seen that, where's it from? McNuggetBuddy has a good tweet of a graph from Israeli boosted trial folks broken down by age group. they have the most data for the 65+ cohort and the measured antibodies are back down to baseline after 3 months. the younger age groups only had a few months of data but looked like they would trend down similarly. if you go back a month and look at feigl ding's tweets i'm sure it's in there. but ultimately look at the UK... they didn't just pick 3 months as their new booster time out of the blue

She is the 10th dentist. yeah, I think she’s probably got some underlying antivax beliefs (not philosophical ones though) but conceded in her head at some point that it’s okay for some people to do it sometimes as a treat. dunno why else she’d be so aggro against boosters and endlessly repeating the same “well, we just need to wait to see the whole picture here” argument about them in different ways for months and months and months.

Last time I started dating, it was right when delta was hitting the states and the women I hung out with went as follows: #1 - was really interested until I asked if we could get outside seating due to COVID before our first date. Said she didn't want to meet up since I was "taking things too seriously" #2 - burst into tears when I asked her how she felt about this Delta thing since she "did everything right and it wasn't fair", then tried to suck my dilz like 5 minutes later Dont date lmao

Lol what makes you think any of us have Christmas plans? I’m going to a zoo lights event outside and that’s it. My wife wanted to go see the mall parade, also outside, but it draws huge crowds so gently caress that noise. I haven’t even stepped foot into a mall or store for Christmas shopping lmao.
