Missouri seems to have leveled off so I guess either people are masking/staying home, or we ran out of tests.

I’ve got a friend whose kids are going to school in a week. is there any way to get kids under 12 a vaccine right now? sign up for trials??

Trials have had wait-lists thousands long for months. Basically choose either homeschooling or risk COVID. I'm debating myself.

Excuse me it is probatable to even suggest that any decision like this would come from the executive branch and not handed down with absolutely zero interaction between the FDA, which makes the decisions in thier cloister, and any political influencer.

Uh the probes weren't for discussing the booster, they were for Tearin up of Rules.

Someone who got their third shot told me that the CVS person asked them to verify all their fake info, fake address + fake phone number etc. They were able to do it but it put me right off the idea of getting an illegitimate 3rd shot, no way I wouldn't choke when put on the spot like that. Sounds like grocery store pharmacy workers might care less on average?

Turns out boosters are coming soon for everyone anyway, of course before my kids even get their first.

Just give your real info and say it's your second shot.

The part about her being a great cook is the capstone on top of everything, because it's not like Americans are braving the pandemic to crank out more T-34s for the front, the country is literally being torn apart and hundreds of thousands are dying because *checks thread notes* Americans need to go somewhere to eat terrible American food and get even fatter.

Before the pandemic I tried my best to expose her to all aspects of American cuisine. We went to multiple IHOPs and Golden Corrals in different states. We had sweet potato casserole, pop tarts, "General Tso's Chicken", and she's just not into it at all.

What wretched podunk do you live in where the best restaurant is Golden Corral?

I was thinking of your case when I saw that. That sounds awful and I'm sorry this is happening to you. Most of the people I know got vaccinated as soon as they could and are at around the 4 month mark now. If we're really going to wait for the 8 month mark I'm worried that breakthroughs are probably going to skyrocket

Or the boosters turn out to be irrelevant, it's not like governments are rigorously studying this stuff.

Is your suggestion that people should be treated based on a paper bag test instead of on their likelihood of survival.
Yes I know the same paper bag test means racist doctors will say darker people aren't gonna make it . which is a good example of why seeing if someone is vaccinated and making that a hard line would help obviate the problem

You basically remade the point I made so I'll just add that "let unvaccinated people die" is not some bright line that we can draw.

I'm not the OP, I'm just saying we need to be vigilant about the issue and not get too excited about neglecting unvaccinated people. Many people are unvaccinated due to systemic issues created deliberately by the same folks who put themselves first in line for vaccines, after all.

I agree with you that it's the government's fault ultimately and that really, really sucks. I do think the news is wording it poorly intentionally in their headlines to piss people off though (and/or excite the brunch libs). The emergency triage is trying to make the best of a poo poo situation, they're supposed to allocate resources to the people most likely to survive, and that's the vaccinated vs unvaccinated.

It loving sucks and it's totally not fair, but they're not talking about denying unvaccinated access to resources that are idling otherwise.

Isn't that the point? Black people are less likely to survive (because of prior bias in care) and therefore will receive less care in triage situations. On top of that, various medical biases against POC will deprive them even beyond what short-term utility would rationally require.
