My own low energy Jeb! story was how the company sent out emails / photos since June about how happy people were to be back to COV19 office.

When more people were allowed to go back to WFH last week, only 1 person / 20 took up the offer to continue working onsite.

You also want to do the gamefaqs speedrun before boomer boosters get approved and suck up all the available supply over the next few months.

Also after getting shot will hold up the line by trying to pay for the purchases with a paper check.

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?

Yeah for the last bullet Israel/US did things differently than UK/Canada mainly for supply reasons (21 day interval vs a few months for booster shot)

Very cool, thanks for bringing the science

Yeah I was under the impression that mRNA vaccines were less effective against Delta/over time, but this is the first time I've seen Very Specific numbers

Does this account for the fact that Delta started spreading about two months after the vaccines went out into wide distribution

Well there seems to be a shift in vaccine effectiveness in terms of breakthrough which seems to be correlated to Delta becoming the gold medal strain over the summer.

Most likely a perfect storm as other people have guessing, between vaccine antibody levels waning, differences the booster shot intervals (UK delayed by up to 2 - 3 months) and also the strain being more effective at antibody evasion.

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.

Boomers when be clogging the lines / getting priority.

It's why the CSPAM speedrun is recommended.

I'm planning my speed run for later this month (got pfizer dose 2 back in early april)

Well the worst you will get is mini-COV19 feeling feeling for a day or two as your immune system ramps up.

Some people don't get the above for whatever reason.

You don't want to get the real thing, some people I know even for flu like minor cases had the shakes and other misery for 2 - 3 weeks.

Do we have any information on how immune response is waning in teens/young adults, or are the data still pretty much based on the adult studies? And if we do have the data, does it vary meaningfully between Pfizer and Moderna?

There's a lack of data on this point since the 12+ age EUA was only recently approved while for comparison for adults shots were being administered back in Dec 2020 / Jan 2021.

I'd don't expect the result to be much different for kids given how all the other age ranges experienced a waning effect after 6 months but once again there's a lack of pre-clinical data for kids from both Pfizer + Moderna on this top.
