Another mixed message came in August 2021: President Joe Biden promoted booster shots for American adults even though boosters had not been approved by the FDA yet.

A month later, the FDA advisory committee overwhelmingly voted against the recommendation to offer boosters to people under age 65, because there wasn’t enough evidence at the time that an extra dose would improve protection to people of all ages.

The conflicting messages added to public distrust, Offit said.

The FDA began expanding the eligibility for boosters in Nov. 2021, and currently recommends that everyone over age 6 months receive an extra shoot.

Hey Offit, this is literally you continuing to undermine trust by making bad decisions as a part of the FDA advisory committee and then constantly pissing and moaning when those decisions get clowned on.

No one could have seen this coming, certainly not random people on dead comedy fora in July of 2021, before the data from Israel’s booster program, before the Delta slideshow had even been created, let obtained in its final form by The Washington Post.

Platystemon posted:

Pfizer is poised to present data to the FDA, claiming that their booster is safe and effective. The FDA should be poised to scrutinize this data and, if it checks out, grant emergency use authorization.

Instead, they’re releasing highly unusual reactionary joint statements, saying that Americans do not need a booster “at this time”.

Now, maybe EUA will be issued in a matter of weeks. If it is so, patriots can get their boosters immediately. The stocks are already expiring at the local pharmacy.

Yet even if the EUA isn’t delayed by political thumbs, the FDA and CDC have literally just said that the booster is unnecessary. This will depress uptake when it becomes available, hopefully, again, in a matter of weeks, even if at that point they say “oh actually new data says that a booster is entirely necessary. Run out and get one posthaste!” And I would bet heavily against them making such a strong statement.

In short, the administration is trading lives for political gain. I would not have been the first to call it a death cult, but it is not entirely inappropriate.

It was an entirely foreseeable, unforced error, and that was true with public knowledge alone.

Everyone is definitely getting sick again. Brain fog abound for the past week, people losing track of what they're saying mid-sentence and asking the same questions repeatedly. Endless throat clearing on calls.

I'm an "architect"/staff engineer for 8 teams and it's been scary watching previously sharp engineers get confused and drop the ball constantly. Even the ones who seemed to not be affected are starting to get foggy.

Looks like success to me

quote:

In summary, our case report shows that SARS-CoV-2 hypervaccination did not lead to adverse events and increased the quantity of spike-specific antibodies and T cells without having a strong positive or negative effect on the intrinsic quality of adaptive immune responses. While we found no signs of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in HIM to date, it cannot be clarified whether this is causally related to the hypervaccination regimen. Importantly, we do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance adaptive immunity.

Met up with someone last night who learned, today, that they were exposed yesterday afternoon. I had my Aura, she had a mask I didn't recognize (I don't keep track of anything not-Aura). I'm going to use the CPC gargle and take a Blis and hope for the best.

My kid is staying with me for the next few days. I'm hoping that if my colleague had been infected less than 12 hours prior, and I can trust my respirator, I might be ok and they maybe won't have gotten got from me last night? Kid and I were in close contact until school drop-off this morning, almost exactly 12 hours from my exposure. I'mm'a mask and ventilate until my colleague has gone five days with no symptoms (which is also five days for me, so maybe I should just mark day 5 on the calendar and be done with it).

If I hop the kid up on Blis and Iota-Carrageenan spray, that might help even after the fact, yes?

Hah! So since everyone is basically huffing covid nearly every drat day now, this is probably mirroring general population antibody response, eh?

I guess on the one hand its good that it seems all 10 antigen tests they ran on him were negative. I'm sure they would have noted if he was a mentally ill habitual masker on top of taking 200+ shots.

On the other hand, even after that much exposure, immunity still wanes - "contraction kinetics subsequently mirrored those of the control group". Sorry folks, no lasting herd immunity.


"In saliva, HIM had detectable anti-spike IgG levels" - how much exposure do you need before this happens and you start secreting anti-spike in your spit? They should test Bolsonaro!

No doubt. But the worst of this year's holiday surge lasted until late January. Now getting a few more people out sick and others looking quite visibly ill on video calls. Which means they had roughly 5-6weeks between waves of illness. Very good and sustainable trajectory we're on!

Now the question is it JN.1 reinfections, a new subvariants of JN.1, or some other opportunistic illness taking advantage of weaken immune system? That's the fun figuring it out all on our own!

Trust your respirator. It's extremely unlikely she was infective even if she were infected. You were both masking and more importantly you were in an aura. You'll be fine based on that alone.
