e: They’re actually the same price per respirator by the pack as by the case, so the only reason to buy in bulk is breaks on shipping.

Heads up if you use ~PAXCESS~ there is a section that it wants you to select that will give Pfizer and their "vendors" your medical information. If you unselect it will say OOP HOLD ON THERE BUDDY and makes it seem like you have to consent to this poo poo to get anything.

Anna Shackley, one of Britain's most talented young cyclists, has been forced to retire aged 22 because of heart issues.

The Scot is the reigning British Under-23 road race champion and won bronze in the under-23 event at last year's World Championships in Glasgow.

She was diagnosed with cardiac arrhythmia in January and after further tests has been advised to retire.

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I'm fine with having the small amount of data I provided to the program fed into good-faith research if that's going to happen, especially if it's a study that's like "hey look how much demand there was when people actually had access, maybe it should be more available" (I know: lmao), but I wasn't able to read between the lines about how it'll be used.

Yesterday Katelyn Jenner of "Your Friendly Local Epidemiologist" posted a summary of next-generation vaccine research, though they appear to use Bastian's reviews as a primary reference. The overall picture is still that relatively small potential improvements like mucosal vaccines should not be expected in the west for at least the next couple of years, and "variant proof" vaccines still appear to be a pipe-dream.

I check Jenner's blog occasionally because they often have useful summaries about the pandemic compiled from various data sources. However they also showcase the viewpoint of one category of mainstream post-pandemic public health experts along the lines of Osterholm and Wachter. These are people who recognize and will acknowledge the significant ongoing COVID public health burden but who's takeaway from the pandemic is that public health measures were too restrictive and more "liberal" approaches might be better in future. It's a weird balancing act compared to the more straightforward viewpoint that COVID was never a big deal, esp once the first-generation vaccines were available, and that virtually all mitigations were misguided. These are the two viewpoint options going forward though, absolutely no-one with any relevance in the public sphere is arguing that next time we should lock down harder and nip things in the bud.

Being in animal trials means even if it works out it's likely over 5 years away, given the recent very slow rate of development.

A bigger issue is that even producing current generation COVID vaccines let alone developing new next-generation versions might in fact be economically infeasible, as Novavax sliding towards bankruptcy and Pfizer's recent vaccine division losses suggest.

Random rumor PSA I ran into on BluSky:

quote:

I work at a chain retail pharmacy and I have *A VERY IMPORTANT PSA!!!!! *

If you’re eligible/due for a covid booster get it IMMEDIATELY. All pharmacies will be returning current stock by early May and we will not have ANY Covid vaccines until fall (most likely September)

Spread the word!!

And from my understanding this will be across the nation. It seems manufacturers will not have any product left with good dating. In other words this poo poo is all expiring and they aren’t manufacturing more.

This is what happens with flu vaccines. They are manufactured for seasonal use (August - April) and we do not carry any vaccines through the summer. It seems that going forward covid vaccines will be treated the same.

It's relevant me because I have some family travel coming up in June and wanted to make sure the more vulnerable person in our crew was boosted before we went.

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) has been sweeping through North American deer herds since it was first detected at a captive cervid facility in Wyoming in 1967. In all the decades since, there’s never been a documented and confirmed instance of the always-fatal neurological disease jumping the species barrier, from cervids into humans. According to a new study, published last week in the journal Neurology, that long-discussed and frequently dreaded transmission of CWD from hunter-harvested deer into human beings might have actually occurred in 2022.

Notes on Data and Limitations:
  • In this post I provide alternative visualizations for the overall weekly disease activity and reporting on weekly confirmed case positives, emergency department (ED) visits, new hospitalizations, total inpatients/occupied hospital beds, and confirmed deaths. Additionally I provide changes in COVID-19 activity due to backfill.
  • Trends are calculated based on the % change in the totals for the most recent week of data compared to the second most recent. This differs from the state's trend % as they are doing a % change of a % of ED visits and hospitalizations, respectively.
  • Columns with a bright bar are the new additions for this week's report. Darker columns are from previously published weekly reports. An outlined column is where previously established numbers have been reduced with this week's report.
  • These graphs were put together by using a multitude of resources spanning from the Washington State Department of Health all the way to the CDC and HHS. All of these state and federal reports use the standardized Sunday-Saturday 7-day definition.
  • Reinfections are only counted when equal to or greater than 90 days since prior recorded infection unless both samples were sequenced and found to be different subvariants.
  • All numbers except for cases and deaths are a reflection of 'healthcare encounters' and not representative of individuals nor of residence. Totals are extrapolated by applying the state's weekly hospitalizations or ED visit % to the HHS' reporting of hospitalizations and ED visits due to all causes. Beds occupied by COVID-19 is the weekly average multiplied by 7 days, and beds occupied by influenza is from HHS reports.
  • A COVID-19, Influenza, or RSV death is only counted by the state if data is complete (cause of death is attributed to the disease and there is an associated laboratory positive test with no period of complete recovery between illness and death). The only exception is that RSV does not need a test, only that it is indicated as cause on the death certificate.
