There’s a spectrum. It’s one thing if a fifteen‐year‐old drives car fast and kills somebody. Their brain is still developing and they may not entirely grasp the relationship between risky activities and consequences. Intentionally shooting people is something else entirely. If they haven’t figured out that that’s bad by the age of fifteen, they never will.

Milo and POTUS posted:What about a bear A bear tried to climb a fence in Minnesota at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and because the “intruder” alarm was miswired as the “Soviet hardware incoming, get airborne” alarm, pilots scrambled to do just that. There was also that time in 1960 when U.S. early warning RADAR mistook the Moon for Soviet ICBMs.

Wingnut Ninja posted:Case in point the trial for the kid's vaccine which included one report of "swallowed a penny". Moderna’s trial had someone get struck by lightning. quote:As of December 6, 2020, there were 3 SAEs reported in the vaccine group: a 65-year-old participant with community acquired pneumonia 25 days after vaccination, a 72-year-old participant with arrhythmia after being struck by lightning 28 days after vaccination, and an 87- year-old participant with worsening of chronic bradycardia 45 days after vaccination. On FDA review of the narratives, none of these SAEs are assessed as related. There were no cases of severe COVID-19 reported in the study.

facialimpediment posted:The source appears to be https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/search?postcode=SE15%205AD and those numbers appear to be weekly totals. When I clicked the "98", it said that was the total over 7 days, which is the ratio of 991.7 per 100k. "Average" doesn't appear anywhere that I could find. It’s probably more like four times that rate because not all infections lead to positive tests. One in four is a recent U.S. CDC estimate for ascertainment ratio, anyway. It could he higher or lower in other locales at other times.

Hannibal Rex posted:Wasn't there some news that Omicron settles mostly in the bronchus rather than deeper in the lungs? You're more infectious earlier, but it does less damage. That’s the hope, anyway. It makes a certain amount of physiological sense, but the fly in the ointment here is that while Omicron prefers lung tissue less than Delta, Delta itself preferred lung tissue less than the original virus isolated in early 2020, and we know that Delta has more than double the IFR.

https://twitter.com/moderna_tx/status/1472869857209327617 This is good news and the increase in dose could be implemented quickly. FDA needs to stamp this one because it would be a material change to the EUA, unlike the last few tweaks to booster policy that have involved only CDC. It’s a shame that so few people have gotten boosters, but the good news on that front is that they take effect quickly, starting to diverge from the no-boost cohort at one week and are more or less in full effect after the second. It’s not like the agonizing wait of four weeks for the second dose and an additional two weeks after that that we had with the primary series.

idempodunk posted:^ What would this mean for those who've already gotten a half-dose booster? Would getting another half-dose booster be equivalent to having gotten a full-dose one in the first place? Is it likely we'll even be officially eligible to receive a second half-dose booster in the near future? It’s not likely you will be eligible. This change itself is requiring specific trial data. “If some is good, more is better” isn’t sufficient for regulators, even when it’s a good educated guess. As for whether it would work, my understanding is that likely would, but not as a simple equivalence to a full dose. Two half doses could be even more effective than one full dose, but they’d have to be spaced by a month or more, for the same reasons that the first, second, and third shots are separated by one or more months. More likely is that regulators approve full Moderna doses and allow them (and Pfizer’s vaccine) as a second booster, some months after the first booster.

facialimpediment posted:This isn't a case where you should be too concerned about it because Pfizer/Moderna make the right antibodies. People (the world) that got AstraZenica/Sinovax have more justification to be concerned: AstraZeneca’s vaccine induces more or less the same sorts of antibodies as the mRNA vaccines, antibodies to the spike, the whole spike, and nothing but the spike (of the virus as sequenced in early 2020), it just doesn’t elicit enough of them. Sinovac’s vaccine is inactivated virus, and the antibodies it induces are qualitatively different.

Try not to encounter the flu. That may be easy mode with COVID in the air, but know that the vaccine will be particularly ineffective this season.

Dr. Robert Amler posted:“In the ’80s, when I was at the CDC, we were vaccinating a Big Ten basketball team because they all got exposed to the measles,” Amler said. “We were all set to vaccinate and then I got a panicky call from the coach who said, ‘You’re not vaccinating my team, you are not gonna do that.’ We went back and forth—you know, when people don’t really listen to each other, it’s a darn shame, because we could have made a really short conversation if he had only explained exactly what his problem was, but I eventually figured it out. These guys are going to play basketball and you need a nice healthy shoulder in order to shoot hoops. And that’s all he was worried about—he just didn’t want it in the shoulder. And I said, ‘Coach, how about we give it in the leg or the buttocks?’ and he said, ‘Oh, that’s fine. That’ll be just fine.’ ” Not that that solves the problem for everyone, but it’s a good story.
