i haven’t looked very hard but I’m just gonna say "no there isn’t". the number of children boosted is vanishingly small, enrollment and control of any study is extremely difficult, and the interest in evaluating ongoing / "novel" efficacy has waned. there’s insane confounds given administration date, generally understood waning of circulating antibodies, etc. the new prevailing strains are divergent enough for it not to matter anyway.

very generally: any recent shots seem to provide at least Some (unquantifiable) protection against severe disease, long Covid, and death.

I also want to make it abundantly clear to you and all posters that your kids (or you yourself!) having Covid before DOES NOT MATTER. each subsequent infection is worse, any given infection provides transient partial protection at best, and the window looks to be roughly 4-6 months. this is similar to how it works for betacoronaviruses generally and the line of "hybrid immunity" has been an incredible falsehood from the outset.

it’s a tough situation right now. a current booster probably won’t do much, but it might, and if you can finagle the new one immediately, it doesn’t look like there’s much to LOSE from getting them an available shot now.

Thanks for the reply. What's the current consensus on mixing and matching mRNA brands? Guessing there isn't any info for kids, but anything for adults?

It's still kicking around the US, there's a handful of new infections every month.

We thought we'd eradicated it here in Australia but we just had two new cases, although they were linked to international travel.

Back in 2010 my dad was hospitalized for like two weeks for a case of flu (it was not his poor health, as he is want to remind me, but because he "caught it from some asian businessmen" (????) ).

Anyway he learned nothing from the experience and now I live with him again. :v:

I just looked and there's a bunch of them for sale on eBay for hundreds of dollars. It was tricky finding the right search words to generate a decent list because half of them are being sold by the types of idiots who avoid writing C@V!D-19 properly

Guys, you want to be testing yourself whenever you feel off and immediately get paxlovid. It's all anecdotal I know, I've been reading on social media and one trend that popped out at me is that EG.5 (or whatever variant this is) has a nasty onset timing. Most people get a slight sore throat or tiny cough and test positive, but the symptoms are very mild so they thought it was nbd. Until around 5~ or 6~ days later, that's when the illness immediately hits you like a tsunami wave with severe symptoms. One described his throat being so sore and painful they can't even swallow water without being in pain

People tried to counter anti-vaxx idiots by pointing out that we routinely give kids all sorts of other vaccines and that's never been a problem and that just led to GOP members in several states trying to introduce bills to wind back all the other childhood vaccinations.

looks like some doctors got around to trying to help Laura Miers

quote:

I hauled my broken, wasting body into Colorectal surgery amid skyrocketing Covid hospitalizations. I weigh less than 100 lbs. I’ve lost 60lbs since 2020. I don’t live, I exist. Every single motherf**ker in this office is entirely unmasked. Doctors, staff, patients—everyone.

Nothing matters anymore. https://t.co/sXheb8CY4D

Our local teaching hospital, before the current surge. Nurses from another local hospital are striking. We live in hell. https://t.co/TtGVQoaVOq

I’m now expected to beg the unmasked doctor for help with my life-threatening post-Covid complications. I don’t think people understand what a mindf**k this all is. I just want to throw up my hands & let out a guttural scream in the middle of the waiting room. Deliver me.

Me, to the unmasked tech taking my vitals: “Yes, my vitals are going to be high. Covid x2 really messed me up. I have a lot of BP/heart problems, assorted organ damage...” Tech: “You know I’ve heard it has been doing that to people! Just messing up their whole lives.”

Colorectal can’t address my weight loss, as apparently that’s for my unmasked GI doctor who interrupts me & shuts me down when I blame Covid for my exacerbated GI complications. He literally sent me here to Colorectal. All I do is go back and forth. This is why we give up.

HOLD UP—I spoke too soon. The NP said that & then the doctor came in. She EXAMINED ME—a doctor touched my body for the 1st time in 2 years. I have IMMENSE DYSFUNCTION, there are nodules, all kinds of issues. I’m getting a flex sig now. This is the best day of my life. JFC

I’m getting a CT scan & a ton of bloodwork. She said the days of being dismissed are over. I’ve been walking around with “IMMENSE DYSFUNCTION” + tumors while being gaslit for 3 years. Now I’m preparing myself for a cancer diagnosis & I don’t even care because it’s SOMETHING.

5 people came in for the exam & sigmoidoscopy & they DID don masks for that so that’s a plus. 3 doctors examined me and marveled over my severe dysfunction. They were lining up to feel & I was like “Come one, come all—I can’t feel it anyway. 😬” Anyway, please listen to patients.

It only took two years.

anywho, is there anything I can use to feel better about this whole "pre-pandemic school posture" thing? I've been pretty loving keyed up since like Friday if it wasn't obvious.

Just keep thinking how we got sick constantly back then, but the spouse wasn't on the suppressants in those days - so it's like how did people navigate this?

I think this is the best study for nasal rinsing with saline.

"SARS-CoV-2+ participants initiating nasal irrigation were over 8 times less likely to be hospitalized than the national rate."
