well good news on the mrna boosters, hopefully tomorrow is rubber stamp and we can get them asap. Was really hoping to get novavax, but if there isn't news here soon, think just going to grab the mrna for everyone. School is loving overflowing with virus.

Zugzwang posted:Is there any reasonable argument at all why everyone can get flu boosters yearly but the covid booster might get gatekept? Wanting a COVID booster is antivax because if you trusted your original vaccination you wouldn't be asking about a booster. Discussing boosters is also antivax since it will stop people from getting the vaccine if they think they will need to get boosters

Zugzwang posted:Is there any reasonable argument at all why everyone can get flu boosters yearly but the covid booster might get gatekept? One part of their explanation is that the flu shot reduces severe disease by protecting the most vulnerable because it both protects against severe disease and also crucially reduces transmission probability. The latter will reduce community spread and help protect high-risk people for whom boosters are less effective. In contrast contemporary COVID variants are both so contagious and have so thoroughly evaded vaccine induced immunity that boosters likely don't significantly reduce transmission probability and so won't reduce community spread. The most vulnerable people in society are likely at equal risk of infection whether everyone gets the booster or not. They're essentially saying COVID evolved around vaccine-induced infection protection and everyone already has hybrid immunity so additional boosters don't provide additional public health benefit. It's similar to arguments that COVID boosters are not cost effective in healthy populations, which is likely true in terms of costs due to acute disease burden. The other part of the explanation is that in healthy people there's little evidence that COVID boosters reduce community severe disease rates as most healthy people already have hybrid (T-cell!) immunity. In comparison there's a lot of evidence that properly selected flu shots do reduce severe disease rates even in healthy people because often the contemporary flu strain will be somewhat novel to at least a portion of the public. This is what Offit means when they say a "a miss is a mile" in flu shot strain selection. To be clear I don't agree with these arguments but IMO this is the pro-gatekeeping rationale.

Of course you can still get variants and who knows which cuisine will reign supreme by the time the holiday season rolls around, so! Mask up and cross your fingers.

How concerned should we be about a rash developing, about a week and a half into covid infection? I tried googling about this but came up with mostly not that helpful stuff. It's on her arms and knees. Is this just one of those "yeah that can happen" symptoms that doesn't make it onto every list?

Covid can cause a whole lot of different types of rashes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/covid-rash-in-adults Apparently it can also trigger a flare up of cold sores, shingles or chickenpox according to my quick 30 second google
