There are ways out, they’re just varying levels of rules‐lawyering with bad optics (platinum coin) all the way up to constitutional crisis (invoking the Fourteenth). McConnell might win this game of chicken, that’s all.

facialimpediment posted:The company came in wanting to push boosters after 6 months and the FDA panel was like "uh, your data is too rosy, we think this is a 2-dose vaccine based on our studies". Yeah the “one and done” was a consequence of J&J’s timing and position in the vaccine race. Pfizer & Moderna ran the trials with two shots because we know that effective vaccination can require a multi‐shot series, and that was the conservative choice. We didn’t have the luxury to wait and see how the trial participants were doing before giving them a second shot. J&J went into the trials with a single‐dose strategy from the start because they were behind and the convenience of a single shot to patients and providers would constitute their niche. If the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines had been tested as single shots, they would have shown decent results and received EUA under that protocol. When the followup data trickled in, they would have been in the exact same position J&J is in now. People who received the J&J shot will feel that this is a bait and switch, which it kind of is, but not for the reasons they think it is.

Defenestrategy posted:So what does that mean for people who got the J&J shot back in April/May, they've missed that booster window by about half a year at this point? Do they go through another series or do they just get the booster and the efficacy is similar? They get the booster now and the efficacy is similar.

https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1448353685965131779 Now, this is data about antibodies from blood draws, not efficacy against disease in the real world. There is a strong presumption that they correlate, but we would of course like to see real‐world results. Topol continues his thoughts in a few further tweets. Something I would like to add is that boosting J&J with either of the mRNA vaccines causes less unpleasant side effects.  If I had gotten the J&J vaccine, I would want an mRNA booster based on this data. I understand that allowing for mix & match multiplies the complexity for regulators, but for me personally? It’s a no‐brainer. e: No one should take this as a reason not to get a second J&J shot when it is made available to you. You want a booster, any booster.

I presume that much like McCain, he got this fawning press through a combination of cultivated flattery to the press corps and being a regular source. Another recent example of this is John Kasich. From the media narrative, you’d think he was the second coming of Abraham Lincoln, but he’s really just Mike Pence without the love for horse meat.

I know that the standard joke is that bisexuals are invisible, but I looked over that list and still don’t see it. Bisexuals are not homosexuals, and they aren’t all LGBT supporters. Sadly, many bisexuals are willing to throw the “T” under the bus.

Basticle posted:I got the J&J vaccine in April, only had some minor aches and joint pains,nothing some Advil couldn't take care of. I'm getting the Moderna booster Wednesday, should I expect it to kick my rear end? No. This is from the NIH study that CDC cited in issuing approval of mix & match boosters: Look at the center left chart. The Moderna booster had zero recorded severe symptoms for J&J recipients. It’s a small study, only fifty‐three people with that combination, but Moderna booster now being offered is half the dose and ought to be less likely to give you grief.

I swear during the first round there was a questionnaire that asked if I’d had any other vaccines recently, which implies to me I’m not supposed to mix Yes and yes. The guidance was, at one time, “no other vaccines within fourteen days”. Now it’s acceptable to give the coronavirus vaccines at the same time as other routine vaccinations.

Bored As gently caress posted:Hell yeah gonna go get a Moderna booster. I had Pfizer for 1 and 2, but I heard that mixing a Moderna one gives you more protection than if you just get a Pfizer booster. Anyone know anything about that? We don’t really know. It’s unlikely to be worse than getting a Pfizer booster, but it’s hard to say that it’s really better. The NIH study that CDC cited in approving mix & match boosters found higher neutralizing antibody titers in participants who got Moderna boosters.  So that’s great, but there are a few things about that. This was a relatively small study, only about fifty people per combination. Also, these are just antibody titers. While there is a very reasonable presumption that more antibodies in the average person imply fewer people getting sick, or better outcomes for those who do, we would of course prefer to see results in the field. The final and perhaps most important note is that this study used boosters with one hundred micrograms of the active ingredient, same as shot one and two of the primary series. Moderna’s booster trial, and the dose that has been approved for general administration, is half that, fifty micrograms. Now that’s still more than Pfizer’s dose has ever been (thirty micrograms), but you do get into issues of apples versus oranges. The Moderna and Pfizer mRNA sequences produce structurally indistinguishable proteins, but they use different code to get there. For example, one strand of mRNA can use cellular machinery to make many spikes. Maybe Pfizer’s squeeze out more spikes per strand. Their lipid nanoparticle formulas are proprietary and unique. Maybe Pfizer’s is a relative force multiplier, giving their mRNA strands a better shot at penetrating cellular defenses and doings its job. Maybe these things bridge the microgram gap. Maybe they widen it. We don’t have enough data to say. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 07:12 on Oct 28, 2021 |
