Question for the thread: what're the best anti-covid filters for these

because it turns out I'll almost certainly need to travel in october, which will almost certainly be a shitshow, so I need to actually join Respirator Crew

anything p100 is good

you may want to spring for the more expensive hard cartridge version if you're worried about water (rain) being a possibility, otherwise the cheaper soft purple filters are totally fine as long as they're p100

If Greg loving Abbott is lying to his constituents about the lethality of covid-19 while he secretly gets every kind of possible immunization known to man, you can assume that every single one of our leadership class is doing that.

There's nothing honorable or good about getting sick or dying for a lie when these vaccines have a definite shelf life and will likely be destroyed anyway.

tl; dr the U.S. announcing booster doses for everyone is very bad news because it means the U.S. studies that will be coming out in a day or two will confirm the Israeli study that vaccine effectiveness wanes pretty fast

This is my own dumb thought, but might this mean that Delta is going to make it pretty hard for any other variants to get a foothold given how highly infectious it is? Yeah maybe some new variant will be cooked up that's twice as deadly, but if Delta is outcompeting everything still, it'll never catch on.

Didn't we already see this happen with Ligma Lambda?

IMO some of the neutralization studies of affinity matured antibodies suggest vaccine-induced sterilizing immunity might be possible. However some people in the previous thread got very salty when I made some posts to that effect and I am a factual idiot so who knows.

One thing I'm wondering is why are coronavirus antibodies so short lived? People are immune to measles forever but apparently we'll need a COVID booster shot every six eight months? Seems weird.

Measles isn't mutating all the time for one thing

Yeah, the thing is, I was diagnosed with heart failure a few weeks before I turned 32. So, my medical bills have been pretty big (last I checked, my insurance company had paid out around $300k, under great protest), and my insurance company has been fighting me every step of the way, even when it costs them more in the end because I refused to give up fighting them on poo poo.

Anyway, there's a chance I could need a transplant at some point. If my insurance company thought there was even a chance that I'm immunocompromised, I have no doubt that they'd be doing their best to get me kicked off the transplant list.

then go the Max Titers route and claim it's your first jab. Copy the info onto your real vax card with your name on it if you need to
