Teabag Dome Scandal posted:Can I get a reminder of what weed does to Pax? The OP has a link that doesn't seem to go over it. One of the components of Pax makes your body take longer to filter out stuff, which means if you get high while on Pax you'll probably be higher for longer periods, so it's generally recommended you reduce or stop your intake of weed while on Paxlovid.

Careful with those, it looks exactly like the sort of business that's gonna get a nasty letter from OSHA or CPSC, since they're not rated but even make claims about using them for PPE because they use rated materials with research behind them. Like those aren't 3M masks, they just purchased 3M materials to make them.

I believe Mexico also invented the nose mask a few years ago, and it looked pretty dumb then tooParadoxish posted:It's also not mild or endemic or "just the flu" and yet There is something kind of funny about a new thing showing up and everyone just being all "no no no, that's that old thing, we already had that." Like a guy holding up a tablet and calling it a newspaper because it has the news on it, it's just sort of silly. Real Mean Queen has issued a correction as of 06:14 on Sep 8, 2023 |

These were discussed a few weeks? ago and someone said that these cannot physically work, even if they perfectly contoured your nostrils. The best plan is probably to try your hardest to grow a dense forest of thick, luxurious, electrostatically charged nose hairs.

Orthodontists are terrifying bc they put you in a cursed communal chair room where everyone is being worked on at the same time. I can never get the readi mask trick to work even with tape and they always fight me over it to take it off lmao. The bottom part of the mask never sticks for me and when I try to tape it down the tape comes off too idk wtf is wrong with my face or skin. smelly goblin has issued a correction as of 06:39 on Sep 8, 2023 |

CDC hopes new ‘Wild to Mild’ ad campaign will tame skepticism about flu vaccinesquote:It’s rolling out new ads it hopes will increase confidence in the vaccines with a clear, straightforward message: The flu vaccine won’t keep a person from getting sick, but it will tame that infection, taking it from “Wild to Mild” — the tagline for the new campaign. quote:In focus groups, people said they liked the new campaign because it struck them as transparent, Burns said. The Baileys in Chuck Schumer’s head will love it.

quote:The BA.4/BA.5 and ancestral SARS-CoV-2 (D614G) were assessed using validated pseudovirus assays, and those for XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, and BQ.1.1, were qualified assays (Duke University).3 In a separate analysis, ancestral SARS-CoV2 (Wuhan- Hu-1, D614G) and BA.4/BA.5, XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, XBB.2.3.2, EG.5.1, FL.1.5.1 and BA.2.86 variants were assessed using a research grade Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV)-based SARS- CoV-2 Pseudovirus Neutralization Assay in a randomly-selected subgroup (n=20) of participants who received mRNA-1273.815. 😡 My kingdom for a BSL‑3 lab and authentic virus. We would have been extremely misled in the initial Omicron emergence if all we had had were pseudovirus assays.

Some of the first studies released that December were duelling authentic and pseudovirus assays. The former showed a reduction of forty-one fold in neutralizing titers. The latter showed only a sevenfold reduction. Bit of a discrepancy. https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1468403610178363396 Platystemon has issued a correction as of 13:16 on Sep 8, 2023 |
