Another vote for novavax. I had astrazenica, Pfizer and novavax. The others left an achy arm. Novavax felt fine, no response. Novavax also is meant to be more effective against a wide range of strains which is a bonus.

My first Novavax shot initially felt fine but started hurting after a few minutes. The pain increased until about ten minutes after the shot (I'd rate it 3/10), then quickly waned. My wife had the same response. No pain at all when I got another Novavax booster last week.

My previous shots had been both Pfizer and Moderna monovalents and before that two Astrazenaca. All those left me with various amounts of nausea 12ish hours out. Nothing like that with Novavax.

As always YMMV.

Huh, I have never seen the DO acronym before. It looks to me like people are trying to channel their inner jesus and touch people back to health?

The president’s physician is a DO. There’s nothing wrong with DOs per se, they can be fine doctors, they just had to wade through some bullshit to get there.



This particular DO is bad because he is enabling a very bad man.

this is a fact that the average public health professional will deny to your face. i was talking to someone who was involved in writing the early cdc covid isolation guidelines and she could not accept that the private sector has any influence on public health. i showed her the delta airline ceo statement demanding 5 day isolation and she just went "huh"

And many educators are unwilling or unable to grasp that entities like McGraw-Hill have captured the public education system. This isn't a phenomenon unique to doctors, it's simply the end result of capitalism's "soft" propaganda

We need to bring the thread in Something Awful culture by also making this a thread to post really boring video game opinions.

I’m currently playing Remember Me solely because I’d played the first chapter of it when it was new and never touched it again. It so far is a perfect time capsule of 2013 politics where the evil corporation that controls everything and the rebels are presented as equally bad.

Next I want to play Last of Us 2 which is more plague relevant.

I've also been buying a ton of DS games lately to play all of the stuff that I never got to when it was new. Had a bit of a frown behind my mask when the nice but obviously sick employee kept wiping her nose with her hand getting something out of the case and running my payment.

I used an alcohol wipe on the game when I got home.

I got two of the Trauma Center games, which I think will make me basically a doctor when I'm done so everything I say in the thread about health will become unchallengeable fact.
