Poke posted:Sore throat and tired. I’m lucky my company is letting me quarantine in empty company trailer in the deepest depths of the Louisiana Bayou. I’m over an hour away from New Orleans if poo poo hits the fan though. Yikes. DR JOHN CAMPBELL has said that exposure to the virus does trigger an immune response that would theoretically help, but it's... let's just say unclear, if the benefits are worth the cost, especially if the exposure leads to a symptomatic infection anyway

Like that guy who got a dozen long blacks or whatever from Starbucks at the beginning of the pandemic because he didn't know how to brew his own coffee. I learned how to cook because my parents would leave me alone in the house for whole afternoons at a time and I wanted to be able to eat what I liked, when I wanted

 1. I think it's a little preemptive to speak so conclusively on these timelines 2. I specifically think eight months for J&J is a little optimistic 3. The way it's phrased makes it sound like protection just stops after the six months, which is a dangerous way of conveying the information 4. While I appreciate that they're setting up the narrative for acceptance of boosters, at 10% fully-vaxxed in the PH it doesn't seem like we should be doing that yet (other news today was that two guys got arrested for taking a shot of Moderna after already having been fully-vaxxed with Sinovac. That makes the third booster arrest so far)

Kreeblah posted:How the gently caress are they getting a year for AZ? I thought we were already seeing efficacy issues with it a couple months ago. hell if I know. Again, the J&J at eight months is also suss, and Sinovac at less than six is also an rear end-pull AFAIK

Real Mean Queen posted:What's the main vaccine over there? I'm purely guessing here, but if they're in the middle of trying to get people to take the AZ, that could just be a naked attempt to keep people from saying "well gently caress this it's not worth it if I have to go back that often" The vast majority of the Philippine vaccine supply is Sinovac, though by now we have all of the brands. My friends and family have received an assortment, to the point where I personally know different individuals who have received Sinovac (myself), Pfizer, AZ, J&J, and Moderna. I don't think it's a "we want to encourage people to take AZ" thing, because most of our vaccine hesitancy comes from all the media propaganda portraying Sinovac as being effectively sugar-water, and vaxx sites lacking any takers if people know it's Sinovac that's being given out, and conversely any "Western" vaccine gets swarmed... including J&J being preferred over Sinovac!

Relevant Tangent posted:Moderna works and doesn't show the same degradation of function over time that Pfizer does, correct? 1. I'm not sure I want to imply that other vaccines don't work 2. The studies that have been cited that demonstrate waning effectivity of vaccines over time, for all of their flaws and caveats, do indicate that Moderna does not wane nearly as much, yes.

Hadlock posted:What is the effacacy drop on pfizer? I haven't heard of this and I'm fairly read up on these things? I thought so anyways There are the ones I've seen pop-up: https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1425610846927917063 https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1425589829069271041 as I understand it: * Pfizer drops in effectiveness against infections to about 40-50% after six months * Pfizer retains its effectiveness against severe symptoms requiring hospitalization even after all that time * it's possible that the interval between the first and second shots makes a difference, i.e. UK data yields better retention of effectiveness because they gave out their second shot eight (?) weeks after the first, whereas Israel gave their second shot two (?) weeks after the first. I think the US does three weeks between shots?

Petey posted:right, my question is: how much of the UK difference is determined by the interval (12 weeks vs 3), how much vs waning (12 weeks == fewer people are 6+ months out), and how much is the interaction of the two. i haven't seen anything definitive regarding this, but lmk if i missed something yeah I don't know about that. The questions you're raising are perfectly reasonable but there's a lot of... nuance? to drawing definitive conclusions from these studies from how uncontrolled the data is

Hadlock posted:Yeah my FIL got vaxxed back in late January as a priority person, my wife and I were fully vaxxed + 2 weeks mid April, so he's about at the end of his protected period, and we will be soon, I guess October this is why I try to phrase things carefully - I don't want to give the impression that the vaccine just stops working after six months

Topo Chico Debarge posted:drat. I saw a headline saying a nearby county had a shortage of 100 drivers starting the school year, and I though that sounded bad. Needing 400 drivers sounds like everyone's walking. yeah if you're missing a hundred drivers you're not going to solve that by delaying school for a bit write off the whole school year!!!

Topo Chico Debarge posted:I know Israel has a high amount of their population vaccinated, but what is their mask wearing and/or lockdown situation like? Is there any explanation for their wave other than Delta is managing to breakthrough? AFAIK Israel re-implemented a mask mandate (while in-doors) since June 25 "Under the new orders, private gatherings are to be capped at 100 people outdoors and 50 people indoors, while at event venues, the cap will be 500 outdoors and 400 indoors. Additionally, no event can surpass 75 percent of a venue’s full capacity. Mass events where there are no marked seats will be capped at 1,000 people indoors and 5,000 people outdoors. Face masks will be mandatory in all closed spaces, apart from one’s place of residence, as well as in outdoor gatherings of at least 100 people. Masks are already mandatory in public indoor spaces."

https://twitter.com/fordm/status/1427628021121527808 This seems like an unequal comparison because it's not just about "some school board meetings are calm", but about what those school board meetings result in. Like, sure, mask mandates poll well, but does that polling result in a majority of schools/school districts implementing mask mandates?

They added 604 new cases over the last seven days, and 723 the week before that. they currently have 1,938 active cases, a little higher than their previous "peak" of 1,885 on Jan 26, 2021 4,636 deaths, up by one since Jan 25, 2021

All Im saying is they could afford to go hard and early because they were proactive during the start of the pandemic, unlike this country i know of. love to just give up

Mr. Pizza posted:where did the whitehouse get 8 months from? they probably split the difference that six months is too soon given how rough the data is, but any longer and they'd be on the hook if people vaxxed in January start dying (and that people are just going to get boosters on the down-low anyway)
