Got so entangled in Danish excess deaths the other day, that I completely forgot to post the study prompting me to do a deep dive. "Excess non-COVID-19 mortality in Norway 2020–2022" https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-023-17515-5 posted:Abstract That's ~1/1566 Norwegians dying from excess cardiovascular disease in the period. The reason for the deep dive was this sentence: quote:In neighbouring Sweden and Denmark, there was no increase in cardiovascular mortality in 2020–2022.

I laid all the auras on top of each other once and they seemed the same at least. the 9205, 9210, and 9211+ are each slightly different sizes. They go from large to small in the order I listed them. am I missing a plus on the 9210? the fabric strap one.

I mean that case only exists to setup Alito and Thomas to file their dissenting opinion that social media should be regulated like common carriers to protect "conservative voices" even though apparently the ISP that actually has a monopoly on the cables to your house doesn't count as one. Nobody involved in that case on either side gives even the tiniest poo poo possible about COVID or COVID misinformation.

We just got discharged. They couldn't find anything wrong with him except for slightly elevated liver enzymes. He also doesn't have any health insurance at all so I wonder if they just did the most basic stuff and just booted him out asap. We had to use a bed in a hallway and the waiting room was totally packed. Then again it could be an anxiety attack or it's just simply something that isn't detectable with the labs that was done. At least he's now trying to get some health insurance through his work and see if he can find a doctor to take a better look at him (apparently this is the second time since he also felt the same thing Saturday but he didn't tell us)

The wastewater surveillance variant trend graph for Victoria Australia finally got updated for the first time in a month. Last update was December 12, this one is accurate up to January 11 (so it's nearly 3 weeks out of date already).  https://www.health.vic.gov.au/infectious-diseases/victorian-covid-19-surveillance-report JN.I keeps winning, harder than ever. There's no surprises there

Oops you forgot your ID, no you don't have insurance, say your doctor told you to get Novavax specifically, if they try and charge you for it ask if they can ring it up as a Pfizer because the billing codes were messed up when I got mine and the pharmacist made an executive decision (your mileage may vary).

I posted this CDC website a bit earlier up thread: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#immunocompromised The relevant quote: "People can self-attest to their moderately or severely immunocompromised status and receive COVID-19 vaccine doses wherever vaccines are offered. Vaccinators should not deny COVID-19 vaccination to a person due to lack of documentation." Gatekeeping of any kind is a violation of government guidance. My advise would be to keep trying different pharmacies and refuse to offer any info that might suggest you are not eligible.

Historically the wealthy have always insulated themselves away from pestilence. Like in the south during the yellow fever outbreak years, the rich would always retreat to far off estates to avoid being in city when an outbreak started. It was somewhat effective. I assume they view it as a standard of their lives.

what i enjoy is that the school i'll be sending my kid to in the fall is literally falling apart. it's actually closed right now while, idk, some folks slap some rubber cement on the crumbling ceilings or whatever. the $40k/year private school a half mile away had UV lighting added to its state of the art ventilation system in december of 2020. lol. same story at most of the ~nice~ schools around here.

Our elites are braindead morons themselves, multiple generations out from the people who accumulated the money they're still spending. They have never wanted for anything in their lives and have never had to make a difficult decision. Like that one tweet says, their lifestyle is probably the cognitive equivalent of being kicked in the head by a donkey.

One of the more proactive things that the Victorian Department of Education did to improve air quality in the states' schools: https://www.education.vic.gov.au/PAL/improving-ventilation-for-school-safety-factsheet-parents.pdf https://www2.education.vic.gov.au/pal/ventilation-air-purification/policy https://www2.education.vic.gov.au/pal/ventilation-air-purification/guidance/operation-placement-air-purifiers The placement and air purification guidelines from the second link posted:Operation and placement of air purifiers The Victorian government in Australia had air purifiers bought for all the public schools in the state, and encouraged natural ventilation also when the weather permitted it. Too bad this isn't a Australia wide initiative for all schools and daycare centers, or major public places, but give it time, it's only been a few years into the pandemic. On another note, how have Aussie goons found accessing Paxlovid or other anti-virals when sick? I ask as I don't know how difficult the process is for people not in their 70s or who don't have a listed "pre-existing" condition, since the anti-virals are firmly gate-kept. A family friend who's in their 70s had Covid a while ago & became significantly unwell from initial symptoms in just a few hours. Most of the PCR testing places near them were shut down, so they couldn't get a definitive confirmation and their spouse didn't think they could handle a car ride. Their GP told them on the phone "You're elderly and therefore high risk, take a RAT right now: if it's positive, I will issue a TeleHealth script immediately, that your spouse can pick up from any pharmacy, take it as soon as you get it and do the full course." Great news for younger people like me, especially since I had a major neurological event a few years ago, causing me to have permanent memory loss, concentration issues, motor control issues & nausea thanks to the location of the brain blood vessel rupture. I don't want any further brain damage, but then again, I'm not old, so who gives a poo poo what I think?

I'm under 50 and I don't have any pre-existing conditions and pax wasn't even on the market at all when I caught covid for the first and only time several years ago, but if I caught it again I really don't like my odds of getting a script. I'd still give it a go though, can't hurt to ask. On the other hand several people I know over 50 but under 70 had absolutely no problem getting pax through their doctors, but I know at least one of them has a looooong history of respiratory issues so they probably had pre-existing conditions locked in

yeah you're not getting pax without paying ~$1000 out of pocket here, unless you get really lucky with your GP. when my father in law got it last year ("on the plane back from fiji"; later he admitted he had symptoms a couple days before leaving fiji [lmao]), his GP set him up with a double course, the fauci special, completely unprompted. so i don't think there's a meaningful shortage or anything.

Baddog posted:I think probably the biggest cause of vaccine hesitancy is the antivaxxers vocally blaming every goddamn thing on the vaccine, and since covid is just a cold now, being almost unchallenged. The government can't come out and say these increases in heart attacks and strokes are actually because of the loving virus that we knew from almost day 1 caused clots and worse. There were ample examples of this on both sides the other day. /r/Wellthatsucks: “Went to the ER with pins and needles over the entire right side of my body. Neuro thinks I had two Thalamic strokes. I’m 38.” I’ll quote the “positive” side, but reader, I would like you to know that the zone is flooded with variations on “vaxxed???” Someone asks quote:Hey I’m there with you. 2023 I achieved the best health ever. Had Covid early in 2023, ended the year catch myself having early blood cancer. Did you have Covid by any chance? OP responds, quote:I’ve had Covid a couple of times, despite being vaccinated. That’s a disease that clearly fucks you up in all sorts of ways Further comments from others: quote:Out of curiosity, did you have covid a couple of times or more? If you don't mind answering. quote:Had a similar incident at 35 and 3 bouts with Covid. Glad you’re out buddy! quote:Unfortunately, covid vaccines prevent the worst in the acute phase but seems to have very little long term protection. Take your health seriously moving forward, you’re definitely high risk now for future covid infections. If you can afford to buy them, get a bunch of masks and avoid it if you can quote:This. Several people I know including family member had Covid then got blood cancer but found super early on
