The doc for some reason took this personally and kept aggressively asking "where did you read this?? I've read the opposite! What study did you get this from??". it's because your doctor has ADHD

Almost every person is pegged in the red zone on mental resources navigating an already hellish society, throwing any wrench in the gears tips them directly into coping strategies and flustered panic

This is it right here, I think covid-induced brain damage is a thing and it's going to become a larger and larger problem, but it's going to take a few years still, like when the average person is on five or six infections. But even people who don't take covid seriously, who aren't taking any precautions and never did, understand the subtext of the pandemic is that nobody is going to help you so you might as well Get Yours. This post is definitely not inspired by two cars in particular that tried to kill me this morning.

Dumb question here but aren't driving accidents really common in Russia? Just wondering if there was a big spike in traffic deaths around the collapse of the USSR.

Anecdotal evidence is that social collapse in the old Soviet countries caused a huge amount of self medicating that had a lot of knock on effects especially on traffic safety.

 the sale of vodka was heavily curtailed, bordering on prohibition, from 85-88. soviet financial regorms were allowed in 89, which is what started the real shitstorm economically there. 1992 was full-on shock therapy liberalism. bad timing!!

Insanite posted:a friend just got got a week after getting boosted. he is now blaming the vaccine for weakening his immune system. There aren't "resources" for that because it's not an evidence-based position. E: like I dunno what you're hoping to find to counteract this. All the many, many studies about the reduction in transmission or clinical severity after getting vaxed? "It helps your immune system fight the virus y/n" was the study endpoint for every vaccine trial that wasn't just about safety (which, by the way, would also probably have caught it if the shots compromised your immune system since that would be Very Bad for all kinds of other reasons). If you've already adopted a total counterfactual as your position, you've already decided out the idea of empiricism or critical rationalism as a basis for making decisions. He's probably mainlining youtube videos by the english ivermectin man at this point. Unfortunately you can't individually argue against someone who has gone full propaganda brain, he has to want to see evidence to see it.

Moth juice acquired. I was planning on doing it before the end of the year and kind of forgot, then half my extended family got COVID-- again-- so I was reminded. (Funny how they can't seem to connect the semi-constant albeit good-natured ribbing about how I won't eat at restaurants and wear a mask with me being the only person they know who's never gotten got.) Was kind of worried since I switched insurance on 1/1 and yeah, my new plan has a much more restricted network of places I can go (in exchange for being super cheap) so Costco was out. Luckily, Publix is in their pharma network, Publix has Novavax, and the cost was zero dollars so it's time to RIDE THE SNAKE. Hurt like hell going in and for about two minutes after the shot, but so far I can't report any desires to crash into bright light sources yet.

Insanite posted:a friend just got got a week after getting boosted. he is now blaming the vaccine for weakening his immune system. Ward et al. (2022) Population antibody responses following COVID-19 vaccination in 212,102 individuals has this nice picture of what's happening to antibody levels post-vaccination  so before those antibodies have developed it's not that his immune system is weakened it's just working as it would have without vaccination, i.e. not particularly effectively because of how good COVID is at immune evasion (also doesn't help that the present variant / vaccine combination means immunity is a coinflip)

did this preprint get discussed? damage equivalent to ~20 years of aging in hospitalised cases. and damage is ongoing after one year. https://twitter.com/gkwood3/status/1744650527038754861 seems very bad! a lot of people walking around with extremely hosed up brains. and then there's the covid damage  no but really, uh, yikes. even if you assume non-hospitalised cases might only get a fraction of that equivalent aging damage, if it's ongoing, and you're getting rolled 2+ times a year, what does this poo poo look like in 10 years? might look like increased road accidents, poor test scores etc. etc.

Went to Costco and bought up food for everyone at home while they're staying inside for now. You know how they have those rotating endcaps right at the entrance? They were all filled with pills and vitamins which like yeah make sense they always would be pushing those immune system crap since it's the season like vitamin C or stuff like that. But no I took a closer look and it was nothing but stuff like fish oils, turmeric, CoQ10, and some vague heart health supplements. I don't know who you are, but whomever is reading this thread, keep up the good works.

It's just their standard layout/rotation of product. Assuming you didn't go to the one in Birmingham, Alabama, because that's precisely the stuff they had in the entry at my Costco a couple days ago.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:at least some people are starting to catch on There’s a strong taboo against bringing up COVID, but once the subject is broached, it turns out that a lot of people are righteously furious. I’m sure that they’ll just curl up and die and not be a problem for their social betters.  Insanite posted:a friend just got got a week after getting boosted. he is now blaming the vaccine for weakening his immune system. Tell him that like one in thirty people he sees in public are nursing active infections right now and that the “2023–2024 formulation” vaccine would have been pretty decent if released fully one year ago. It’s not that the vaccine weakened his immune system. It just didn’t strengthen it nearly enough against today’s threat. The virus is running circles around our supposed healthcare system.
