can someone please inform me what the risk is involving prescribing boosters when the benefits may not be needed? Like what negative event is the FDA preventing by limiting boosters?

mod sassinator posted:They never addressed this directly in the entire meeting. The voting members in their rationale kept talking about theoreticals like, "well does this mean we have to boost every 6 months?" or just fell back on "I need more data". No one seemed to make a simple cost-benefit analysis of the risk of boosting vs. the impact of reducing disease and transmission. So there isn't actually a potential negative event being prevented? There's no legit medical risk that over-prescribing boosters presents?

Big Slammu posted:Can someone please post the latest on how Delta causes brain damage and how it’s statistically different from a major viral non-covid infection that affects other people. Seems like it’s still the boogieman gripping everyone in this thread but I’m just not buying it. Maybe it’s because I’ve already had Covid and have cognitive dissonance and don’t feel any different than before even though I am now statistically dumber. Oh well. If I get covid again will I be even dumber? people tend to be really loving cautious about potentially life-altering consequences. Like, lets say you have 2% of a chance to experience "long covid" in a way that causes cognitive impairment ...do you really want to see how lucky you are? sure 1 in 50 is hella unlikely, but uh, hella unlikely russian roulette still has the filled chamber To be succinct, some people really dont want to test their luck

Owlofcreamcheese posted:It’s better for society if less people die. Oocc you do get that the problem is that there is an absolute number of cases that healthcare systems can tolerate before widespread disruption and/or collapse right if omicron's increased transmissibility causes it to breach that number then its base lethality ceases to matter

forgive me if this was already discussed in the thread https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/28/cdc-drops-omicron-prevalence-estimate-526210 quote:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention significantly revised its model of the breakdown of Covid-19 variants on Tuesday, estimating the Omicron strain accounted for about 58.6 percent of U.S. cases as of Dec. 25. if this can be taken at face value, i'd say this calls the CDC's revised guidance into question in two ways. First, if a significant amount of the caseload is "just" plain old delta, then the shortened isolation period threatens to vastly increase the spread of delta. Secondly, the degree to which the CDC was off in its estimates of omicron's spread seems to validate the concerns that their revision was too hasty in the first place (though I will admit this concern is far more oblique than the first) i'll fully cop to my preexisting bias being that the CDC is being driven by economic concerns, rather than public health concerns, so maybe my interpretation is too harsh.

I'm pretty convinced that within 5-10 years China will be living with endemic Covid just like the rest of the world, though. this is a bit off-topic, but im curious, what you would need to see to revise this stance? Or, have you simply determined that endemic covid is an inevitability and there is nothing that china can do that could convince you that they will remain a zero covid nation?

IT BEGINS posted:Even as someone who was (is?) pro-lockdown, it's hard to want to put yourself through more of the same from the last two years. I'd love to pretend that government policy could have saved us here in the US, but with so little trust in government as a whole, I don't see how any policy, no matter how harsh, would have actually worked. If there is no will, there is no way. I think it could have been accomplished if there was an actual commitment to the idea of shared sacrifice, but instead we just got got exhorted to do our part while the rich and the powerful did jack poo poo to actually demonstrate their commitment. Not to mention the gov broadcasted from day one that they were only grudgingly providing material support, and half-hearted at that. Anyway, a real loving grim outlook from the CDC for the next month: https://twitter.com/donwinslow/status/1476357832110792708?t=5hUJW--q9j9YSPRff1GxqQ&s=19
