Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:What the gently caress are you talking about There’s some new study the anti-vaxxers are all sharing about spike proteins. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8538446/pdf/viruses-13-02056.pdf The basic gist of it is RBD-based vaccines might have less side effects than the full spike protein. Gonna blow those anti-vaxx minds when they realize where the RBD comes from. Also it’s another in-vitro study so I’m getting pretty skeptical of those.

Yeah but in the actual virus it's like a wild animal that runs freely, whereas in the vaccine it's more like a dog that has been put on a leash and hasn't been fed, and those dogs are scary

Well, the chuddy faction of the family is forcing a stand off over Christmas. A cousin had bros over Wednesday and of course one of them was positive. We asked them to do a home test just to be safe and they insist on doing it Monday after Christmas. Cool cool cool On top of that there's a family funeral and a wedding all before New Years. My wife and toddler and I can duck those but it's looking to be a shiiiiitshow

Cool cool cool Don’t rely on single home test results; they have a high false negative rate, and some evidence suggests that Omicron is taking longer than usual to show up on home tests (ie not PCR) because of where it replicates in the body.

The last show I saw before everything went into lockdown was the anniversary show of Peewee's Big Adventure, at the ACL Moody. Covid was on the radar, and the meet and greet with Paul Reubens was definitely no touching. It looks like they'll go through with the Spoon, John Doe NYE show. They seem to be enforcing masking/negative tests 48 hours prior, but it seems stupid to go.

Oh hey, this guy I knew is making all kinds of headlines. https://nypost.com/2021/12/23/unvaccinated-michigan-diner-owner-who-defied-shutdown-dies-of-covid/ "An unvaccinated Michigan diner owner who bucked a state shutdown during the coronavirus pandemic has died of COVID-19. The hard-working vet and father of three wasn’t vaccinated, relatives said. “However, during his battle, when he was able to talk, John shared with his family that he will be getting vaccinated because the battle, at that point, was worse than any training he endured in the military,” according to the fundraiser signed by the families."

So mean mugging it is. I think I might explode scanners style once I land back on Swedish soil. I really don’t like how this pandemic has brought out a dark contempt for people I’ve truly never felt before. Like I’m so angry so often, and I fear that the longer this goes on, the shorter and more frayed this fuse gets. There are so many suffering and so loving exhausted, all trying to do the right thing, and then there’s these assholes.

I'm wondering at what point fatigue with restrictions will get to the point of being 'screw it' even for responsible pro-vax folks who follow all the precautions. 3 years, 4 years ? The light at the end of the tunnel is pi, rho and sigma variants boarding the train.

Jeeze. Small sample size, sure, but it seems like half the people I know have tested positive in the last week or so, and every one of them is at least double vaccinated, if not boosted. Fortunately, every case in my social sphere ranges from asymptomatic to "bad head cold" level, but I think it's about to be a real shitshow for my half-unvaccinated state.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Exactly as described, what's the problem Devil's Advocate: I've seen reputable sources say 90%+ of Omicron cases will be asymptomatic, hospitalizations and deaths have been massively lower in regions where Omicron came first and has burned through the population, and maybe most importantly: the news and holidays caused a surge in testing, even from people who were asymptomatic. So yep, hockey stick case count, as expected. That's still logically consistent with an unironic "mild all good 8)"

that's lovely about those tests costing so much, or any, money. i got my booster the other day and they literally had tables stacked with rapid tests which you could just pick up on the way out if you wanted some.

We met up for a family vacation and nobody told me my brother was sick. I’m the only one concerned about covid (so I naturally get really weird looks when I bring up the implications here). He didn’t get tested prior to visiting, despite him already being sick and working in a chud owned restaurant where a coworker of his tested positive. Im a little peeved to say the least. He’s younger and also lives in a place that thought Covid was defeated in 2020, so naturally he’s not super concerned and didn’t know Long Covid was a thing. After about 2 days of constant exposure to him I have a cough and feel gross. Still gotta fly back home (or figure out a way to rent a car one way) tomorrow and I can’t afford to miss work. I’m triple vaxxed and no pre existing conditions so I’m likely fine, just pissed.
