We still doing vaccine trip reports? Have a recent one from about 45 minutes ago

Had to go to the store/pharmacy today and because I was already going to be there, got an appointment for MMR, flu, and COVID. System didn't stop me at all. Completed all the information under my real name too. Before today I've been vaccinated for COVID I think 6 times spread over the years? Never had a problem whatsoever in getting the pharmacy to stab a needled in my arm. Until today. . .

For whatever reason, the guy who was doing my work was one of the more senior (rank not age) pharmacists. He looks at my reservation and says: "There is no recommendation for MMR, you should have gotten this as a child." I considered for a brief moment or so pushing back and I did say to him "I've been told those expire by the time you get to my age (late 30s)." Reply was no, MMR is for life. I don't press any further and say okay. Next is flu. No trouble with flu. And now for the problematic shot:

You forgot to mention that you're starting a new job working with kids and need the full set of childhood vaccines again. Also, you're going on a trip to Africa and SE Asia to explore the some rural areas and need the full set of travel vaccines.

sucks to be right
Australian weekly fortnighty report!

Aged care cases + outbreaks dropped a little again but are tailing off really slowly. Still a long way from previous lows

Twitter source

Moving on to the Vic covid surveillance report:

Covid hospitalizations also tailing off slowly


JN.1 subvariants still making up close to 100% of samples. The data in the graph is only up-to-date to the 4th of March


Wastewater samples actually surged this last week. Was it just a small blip or is this the start of a new wave? We won't know until the next update 2 weeks from now

Isn't the blip because their surveillance never thought to update their metric to include JN.1 until someone pointed it out?

The number of cases seen in Florida has led experts to fear that the disease is becoming endemic in the state. This essentially means that it has established a consistent presence within a certain population or geographic area, being regularly found at a relatively stable level.

Fun fact about M. leprae, it degrades the sheathing of your peripheral nerves, but it's ideal temperature for replication is a few degrees cooler than core body temp, so it destroys the nerves in things like fingers, nose, and toes first, hence why those are the first to be lost.

Whee.

I don't think I've ever seen the 'genuine verification' barcode on a case of 9210's ever.

Yeah according to 3M's safe guard website only the 9210+'s made in Singapore have the security code. No idea why that would be the case.

Almost missed this, yikes. Don't even know what to say about it. Are people with long covid being evaluated as psychiatric basket cases vs victims of a physiological disorder? Is part of long covid brain damage causing actual net-new psychiatric disorders or activating predispositions to them? Both?

I loving hate this.

My guess is there's some combination. There have been studies comparing covid to having a TBI in severe cases and TBIs frequently cause long term psychiatric issues. Then you probably have doctors dx'ing people with anxiety disorders for wearing masks bc they dont want to get it again.
