Sportsbreak for the socialist, communist, unamerican women's soccer team! The game was pretty frustrating, as the USA had like 3 goals called back for offsides, it got pretty comical. Pretty clear that the star of the game was the goalkeeper, who played out of her goddamn mind: https://twitter.com/USWNT/status/1421111429541732356?s=19 The entire team was about a step off, Rapinoe included, then the Head Commie took her PK: https://twitter.com/USWNT/status/1421105624167845892?s=19 The pose at the end is going to make so many conservatives mad

pantslesswithwolves posted:You’re 100% right about the pandemic continuing and also that the mask guidance shouldn’t have been lifted until kids could get vaccinated as well. That’s part of why I’m so pissed that we’re having to do this again. Whole lotta people in government and industry desperately wanted to declare victory over COVID and walking it back sure must suck. With international travel, there's no way this isn't the new normal. The US only has about 50% flu shot rate, we're going to be with COVID for a long time. I just hope my kid can get a jab soon so the family has a best shot at avoiding serious illness.

I'm still waiting for the public at large to realize that we are gonna be getting boosters for the rest of our lives. Mentioned it to the lady who works at my local corner store, and she was extremely upset by the thought, even tho she had already resigned herself to having to mask back up.

Mentioned it to the lady who works at my local corner store, and she was extremely upset by the thought, even tho she had already resigned herself to having to mask back up. It's likely, but the science really hasn't been settled yet on the really long-term implications. There have been a few quasi-speculative studies that those with a natural infection *and* two doses of mRNA might be good for a very, very long time. Others have proposed that the two-dose mRNAs could actually be three doses for long protection, similar to childhood vaccines that last for several years. From what I gather, there's no real way to "age" or simulate aging, so the scientists just have to gather the data live. We just don't know if we're going to be getting yearly COVID shots, or every 6 months, or every 5 years, or Delta-tailored vaccines.

My guess is that we will have boosters for 5-10 years while they get variants under control and nail down the science into a final form of the vaccine that will be longer lasting.

Most people really really hate shots to the point they don't get annuals like the flu shot. I generally avoided it before (because it didn't sound like herd immunity applied and it was never spelled out, this has changed) even tho I don't have an active problem other than making time for it, and literally just discovered that I am at least a decade overdue for my tdap booster I am not unusual in this stuff

I just hope my kid can get a jab soon so the family has a best shot at avoiding serious illness. My agency has been talking about returning people to the field and reestablishing our international presence. One of the major parts of the feasibility of this is whether or not the people going to the field are vaccinated, but the high transmissibility of Delta even by vaccinated people is likely going to upend that (and it should.) So much of the world is still struggling with like 2% vaccination rates so introducing someone who could potentially be an asymptomatic spreader would be a huge moral issue in addition to being a potential PR disaster if someone could make the case that they were linked to a localized outbreak. I’m also having a hard time with this way of thinking: https://twitter.com/evanhill/status/1420943285548376069 If the qualifier of a mild case is the metric of “not being hospitalized and being put on supplemental o2” but doesn’t take into account long COVID or potential cognitive decline then we are in for some rough loving years. The tweets FI posted earlier are a little reassuring but I’m not feeling much else than a bit crushed by recent developments.

I'm convinced when mRNA matures, you'll be able to get custom tailored booster shots for a variety of things all at once, so at least it probably won't be a lot of shots.

The tweets FI posted earlier are a little reassuring but I’m not feeling much else than a bit crushed by recent developments. I'll add a bit more here: https://twitter.com/SquawkCNBC/status/1421095045931970570 https://twitter.com/SquawkCNBC/status/1421094615663456257 https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1421123686975819783 The old CDC recommendation (vaccination --> no mask) made three general assumptions: 1) the vaccinations work extremely well and prevent infection, 2) vaccinations turn those breakthrough infections into a mild flu, 3) and the limited breakthroughees are less likely to infect others due to less viral loads. What appears to be going on is #1 is being absolutely confirmed, though maybe at the 85% level instead of 90% due to Delta (at worst, 60% if you believe the outlier Israeli data). #2 is also being confirmed, if possible even *moreso* as per Gottlieb, hella people are being infected and don't know it - the vaccines are kicking everything down a notch in the asymptomatic/slight cold/mild flu/severe flu/hospitalization/death curve. #3 is now complete garbage due to Delta - breakthroughees are barfing out as much COVID as the unvaccinated, when with the Alpha strain that wasn't the case. Everyone is freaking the gently caress out, thinking that the disproving of #3 means that #1/#2 are no longer correct, and that's not what the data says. The vaccines are still magic. In the (now slightly-higher) chance that you get a breakthrough infection, you're still far better off. As a reference point, when I was hospitalized over the weekend, I was asked about my vaccination status (oddly, never got carded - maybe they checked through my doctor's records), had to wear a mask in common areas, then the nurses didn't give a flying gently caress if I wore my mask in my room or not. Administration staff, nurses, techs - nobody cared even as they were all up in my poo poo, though they all had standard surgical masks on. I got my first-ever swab up the nose when it was time to full-blown admit me. The big change going forward is that in a follow-up surgery, I'll have to wear a mask the whole time because of #3, or maybe I get a COVID swab sooner. My mild freakout - that's in 3+ weeks and I'm in a low-transmission, high-vaccine county with plenty of hospital space... *now*. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jul 30, 2021 |

Nate's also been an rear end in a top hat troll lately, but he's succinct and correct here. "Vaccinated people can easily transmit Delta" is not the news today, it's instead "Vaccinated breakthroughees can transmit Delta at the same rate as unvaccinated, but they are still less likely to catch it in the first place." https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1421154988206825472 Have some Grandpa Joe. https://twitter.com/andyharnik/status/1421153383050846209

I remember a few years ago the annual flu shot was extra viscous and was painful to get because it felt like (literally was) sludge being pushed into your arm. Haven't felt that since so maybe they learned.

I've completely stopped defending Nate, but on the whole right now it's not medicine, it's numbers. It appears the whole of American Media is having Trouble With Denominators because of this whole thing, plus the Israel data: https://twitter.com/larry_levitt/status/1421177313446694915?s=19 According to the media right now, if Big Number x 0.1 > Little Number x 0.5 then AAaaAaaAAAaa THE VACCINES AREN'T WORKING Provincetown was apparently something like 75% vaccinated, so due to simple math, of course a hella lot of vaccinated people are going to catch COVID in a citywide equivalent to a cruise ship. The CDC is changing stances because those vaccinated breakthroughees are barfing COVID as much as the unvaccinated infected, which wasn't the case until recently.
