I had a bunch of weird symptoms that I wasn't expecting too. It's different for everyone. Managed to avoid it for years only to pick it up last month and would not recommend.

Got the pfizer omni shot today. I'm in the rare (for the US) position of having to test constantly for work. Up until a certain point this year, it was even PCR tests required. (That went by the wayside fast, now it's exclusively rapids) That also means when I'm directly exposed I usually know the next day and can also test in my time off too. I still haven't caught this thing, somehow. This last year I've had 4 different direct exposures, doing dumb poo poo like sharing a joint, or eating lunch in a truck cab masks off..all with folks who popped pos the next day. I have no idea how I've been negative each time to be very honest. Outside of those small slips, I always rock a KN95, even on the subway where mask requirements went to 0 this month. I'm the only person I know who hasn't had this at least once, it's a little unnerving. On the plus side, thanks to this thread I got my j&j shot asap in 2021, went and lied and got a double dose of moderna last sept/oct before we were required to get booster shots anyway, and just went and got this omni version about a year to the day of my delta boosting despite fighting the urge to get more booster six months in rather then wait for the updated version. I've now had all three brands and I didn't even get a cool sticker or nothing. I'm guessing it's 2-4 weeks before max titerville again like the previous 3 times right? e: also, the dr administering the shots said demand has been really high for it (and I live in what is considered a "poorer" district of Brooklyn, even with a 77k median salary, where hesitancy has been notoriously high) zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Sep 16, 2022 |

It is impressive. My elderly father, my eldest brother, and myself had dodged covid for 2.5 years until now, actually leading quite normal lives post-vaccination (w/ frequent indoor dining, a thread favourite, for the last 1.5 years). We live very far away from each other. Within this week the three of us got it independently! (I actually got it from my wife) I remember that the onset of Autumn 2021, in which temperatures dropped some 10 deg celsius suddenly, brought an sudden, insane increase of cases over here (Germany). I wonder whether we will see such a surge this year.

Yeah my mom took the train up to see my sister's family last Wednesday, then they all drove up to stay with my aunt and uncle on Friday, and now they all have COVID because train. This spring it seemed like all my acquaintances and podcasters I follow were getting COVID, and in this summer wave at this point it's like half my family

Highly specific-case but in case this applies to anyone else in the UK (other than me): I've just found out that if you live with an immunosuppressed person, you can book a seasonal booster, even if you're under-50, even if you yourself aren't immunosuppressed/clinically vulnerable Otherwise we non-olds are basically poo poo out of luck (until cases go through the roof this autumn and the government panics, but I wouldn't trust the Truss government to spell 'covid', let alone know what to do about it)

Up here in Ontario it's been ridiculously low: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/covid-vaccine-children-ontario-uptake-1.6591216 Only 6% of under 5s have even had one dose of the vaccine here in the two months it's been available.

Yeah, we rushed out and got our 4 year old her shots right away, and she'll be 5 in Jan and hopefully getting the Omicron booster then. I'm holding off until first week of October so I can tag team my Omicron booster and flu shot together, since I'm one of those Essential Workers™ and will be neck deep in the general public during our busy months.

The teenagers are all vaccinated and boosted, but we haven’t yet done the toddlers. Mostly because they’re ultra low risk for serious disease, and taking multiple days off work when it rocks them and they can’t go to daycare is unappealing since mom and I then can’t work. The fact that they aren’t eligible for the bivalent booster yet is also gave us hesitation. That said, we’re probably going to start their original series soon since the winter and likely higher numbers are coming in the next few months.

Our 4yo wasn't phased by the shots in the least. Moderna 4 weeks apart, fwiw. Didn't even take a nap the day of or after. Hell, we did her 2nd shot and then spent 6 hours at the local (outdoor) zoo, she wore ME out that day.

it varies for everyone, most of my friends had no side effects, my first and second shots I barely felt a thing, my 3rd and 4th (just got omicron on thursday) knocked me on my rear end for 24 hours. But I woke up feeling great Saturday. My 85 yr old dad had no side effects from any of them, and he's had 5 shots now.

That's...not what the article or the underlying report say. You seem to have taken something from the fourth paragraph of the Hill article and ignored everything after it so you could bemoan the doom of public health using an article about lice. In the covid thread.

The AAP news release mentions a clinical report, but then links to an index where the report is conspicuously absent.quote:The clinical report, “Head Lice,” published in the October 2022 Pediatrics (published online Sept. 26), describes new medications for treatment and provides an algorithm for management of affected patients and clarification on diagnosis and treatment. So it’s an interesting exercise to try to go to the source here. Web search does turn it up. quote:Some experts argue that, because of the relatively high prevalence of head lice in young school-aged children, it may make more sense to alert caregivers only if a high percentage of children in a classroom are infested. Other experts feel strongly that these “alert letters” violate privacy laws, cause unnecessary public alarm, and reinforce the notion that a head lice infestation indicates a failure on the school’s part rather than a community problem.79 However, studies examining the efficacy of alert letters are not available; consequently, some schools choose to design guidelines that they believe best meet the needs of their student population, understanding that, although a head lice infestation may not pose a public health risk, it may create a public relations dilemma for a school. Regardless of the extent of the communication on a specific case, schools may wish to provide general education to their constituency that head lice is not a public health hazard. I think that this is stretching (or contracting) the definition of “health hazard”. It is reminiscent of Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s interpretation of “sanitation” as used in the 1944 Public Health Service Act, in the context of killing the air travel mask mandate. Passage continues, quote:Criteria for Return to School The parallels deepen. There is a citation for that last sentence (doi:10.1111/j.1365-4632.2006.02827.x). Here’s what it has to say about legal matters: quote:When a child is found to have living lice it is not necessary to send him/her home immediately (unless legally bound) because lice are usually detected only 1–2 months after the child has become infested.20,25 Keeping the child in school for a few more hours will not make any significant difference. quote:Repeated failure to completely eliminate all offending material (regardless of type and viability) and extended absences owing to school-enforced exclusion occasionally cause schools to start legal action charging parents with neglect or abuse, thus making parents aggressive towards the school authorities. In the USA, some parents who have applied all remedial treatments to remove nits and get their children back to school have been reported to State authori- ties as being negligent and are then legally engaged in keeping their children from being sent to foster care. It should be stressed that no such exclusion measures are taken with any other infectious diseases, including child-borne diseases and influenza, which are much more dangerous. These authors are arguing against “no‐nit” policies, but they aren’t saying that they put the school in legal jeopardy—just the opposite, that schools may be legally bound to implement such policies even if harmful. I must therefore conclude that the civil rights angle is original speculation by the AAP authors. I’m not going to say that it’s the most outlandish line of speculation, but it ought to be supported with citation from the realm of law.
