buglord posted:BA4/5 booster pioneers, how hard was it to get an appointment? Or can you just walk in to any decrepit CVS/Walgreens and ask for one? Debating trying my luck after work but I don’t know the process yet. Or maybe I should hold off longer like Fauci said until indoor/cuddle season kicks in. Decisions. CVS turned off all their booster appointments and turned them back on as each store got bivalent, at least that I saw

This Guardian article is dated September 6, 2022: "Anger at plans to roll back Covid vaccines to under-11s in England" "Children aged 5-11 will no longer be offered Covid jabs, except those in clinical risk groups, UKHSA confirms" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/06/anger-at-plans-to-roll-back-covid-vaccines-to-under-11s-in-england I don't live in England or have kids, so this doesn't affect me directly. But... can someone tell me how this works? If UKHSA stops offering the Covid vaccine to parents of children ages 5-11 (apparently there will be exceptions for children with certain health problems) then what options are there for British parents who want to vaccinate their young kids against Covid? Can they pay a private health care provider to vaccinate their kids? Can they travel to a nearby country to vaccinate their kids? Victar fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Sep 8, 2022 |

Victar posted:what options are there for British parents who want to vaccinate their young kids against Covid? Yeah. That is in fact the tory party's approach to nationalised healthcare - make it poo poo so that the private health companies they have financial links to get more customers. And down the road when they want to abolish it, nobody will defend or mourn it since it's been poo poo for ages. Same approach with the BBC.

Victar posted:This Guardian article is dated September 6, 2022: There are no private providers of covid-19 vaccinations in the UK at present, with no plans that I'm aware of for this to change. So no, there are no options. Children will not be able to be vaccinated for covid-19. Similarly, no-one under 50 except those in clinical risk groups is going to be able to get a bivalent booster, with no plans that I'm aware of for this to change. But it doesn't matter, because covid is over.

Definitely feeling it now. Had trouble sleeping and woke up around 5am for good. Eventually started feeling mostly okay for a few hours, but lunchtime brought that weird static electricity feeling of my nerves being hypersensitive. Took a warm bath and then took kind of a nap until my dogs demanded to go poop. Still feeling sore all over, but no big headache like with the previous doses. Hopefully sleep tonight will cure the side effects and I'll be fine tomorrow, but if not I'll call off from work since it's NBA2k day anyway.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Switching to team Moderna since my first 3 Pfizer shots hosed me up for 24-48 hours. Funny, my Moderna/flu combo Wednesday left me exhausted, sore, and feverish for 16 starting a few hours after I got it. Could barely get to sleep, freezing cold, woke up burning up in the early morning, then it was like my body couldn't decide whether it was hot or cold. Temperature control still doesn't feel quite right, but at least I was pretty much over it by about 24 hours after the shot. I don't know if it makes a difference, but my previous vax record was Moderna/Moderna/Pfizer. (Didn't notice the location only offered Pfizer until I was at the appointment, whoops. They say it doesn't matter though.) None of them had remotely the level of reaction as this latest one provoked; the most I noticed was a sore arm for a couple days.

Got the Moderna booster. Glad to finally get that done after waiting all year for an Omicron-focused one. I really didn’t think they’d be able to make the September estimate, but they surprised me. Sad thing (anecdotally) is there were pleeeeeeenty of availabilities because I don’t think anyone cares anymore.

Just finished recovering from the Bivalent Moderna booster myself (got a flu shot as well). Wasn’t too bad, just a sore arm and a day of feeling slightly feverish. I think we’re at a point with COVID vaccines that we might still see an moderate uptake, but there’s going to be a drop-off now that there aren’t news stories of hospitals getting flooded with patients and the vaccine itself hits some people hard for one or more days, which is a strong disincentive when COVID feels like its over for them.

Trying to coordinate 5 kids for their shots, while trying to thread the needle of school and sports practices during the week and sports games/meets on the weekends, knowing it’ll take them down for a day or two (most shots have, previously) sucks hard. Plus, two of the kids are toddlers so that’s probably a couple days at home from daycare where mom and I can’t work. The reaction of the shots really sucks, logistically.

Hi, I'm trying to convince a friend to take the COVID vaccine. The biggest hurdle right now is that there are two articles which speculate about a link between spike protein vaccines and prion disease: https://scivisionpub.com/pdfs/covid19-rna-based-vaccines-and-the-risk-of-prion-disease-1503.pdf https://dpbh.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/dpbhnvgov/content/Boards/BOH/Meetings/2021/SENEFF~1.PDF You'll probably notice that the first paper isn't from a reputable journal, and the second paper is from a reputable journal but the authors are a computer science and a "naturopathic oncologist." So that's enough for me to be skeptical, but I'd also like to know if there are any problems with the plausibility of their models for how COVID vaccines could cause prion disease, or if there's any empirical data that would contradict the conclusion, like rates of neurodegenerative disease amongst vaccinated vs. unvaccinated.

The biggest hurdle right now is that there are two articles which speculate about a link between spike protein vaccines and prion disease: 12.6 billion COVID vaccine shots have been given worldwide. There is enough data out there that any significant adverse effects will absolutely have better sourcing than a notorious antivaxxer and patent troll, an infamous Dunning-Kreuger quack, and a guy who promises to cure your cancer by running your blood through a UV lamp and an ozone bubbler.

NotNut posted:Hi, I'm trying to convince a friend to take the COVID vaccine. The biggest hurdle right now is that there are two articles which speculate about a link between spike protein vaccines and prion disease: I’m not a scientist, but the author of the first paper wrote one in 1999 saying that the flu vaccine causes type-1 diabetes, so I’m guessing this is a similarly crank poo poo. If you want someone vulnerable to crank poo poo to think carefully about things like this, ask them why there have been zero cases of a novel prion disease, or even one that’s already known, in anyone who got vaccinated (it’s because like 300 people a year die from Creutzfeldt-Jakob and most of them are dead within five months). Better yet, challenge them to find some and help them search. It’s not air-tight reasoning (eventually somebody who dies of CJ will have coincidentally gotten the vaccine first), but it’s probably compelling to people who are responding on an emotional level.

This is a stupid question, but is there any correlation between side effects of a vaccination and how effective they are? Like, if I don’t feel any effects, my chance of getting sick is greater?
