    Both boys were vaxxed last week. Such a relief. Wife is a nurse has already been boosted. I get my booster tomorrow. Decided to go Pfizer this time because variety is the spice of life or what have you.

    Has anyone else run into what I did with their doctor telling them to hold off on booster until there is a variant specific one?

    I’m also relatively young (33), healthy, and 7 months out if it makes a difference

    ^I think there are trials going on, but yeah. Not much press about them. Feels like the current boosters are it for now.

    That teacher’s husband is such a fucking dickhead:

    “I’m hoping they name a law after her so no one has to go through this. If she had walked out of the hospital she could have had the medication," Drock said. He was also infected with COVID-19 but recovered, according to ABC.


    Hey, Ryan, if she had gotten the vaccine she never would have had to walk into the hospital to begin with.

    My mom's doctor at Vanderbilt told her to not get vaccinated at all. I couldn't believe it.

    well as I said earlier he wanted me to be vaxxed but he said boosters were leading to coverage that narrowed in on alpha variant but I understand what you’re saying

    Seems like nonsense? They do these booster studies and see how people react in the here and now, the reality which is more than 99% Delta vs other variants. They don’t seclude the booster study recipients in labs and expose them to alpha. The results reflect the current viral environment. And the results are pretty good.

    Get regular booster now. In 4-6 months, get the variant specific booster. In a year, get the covid/flu vaccine combo.

    you won't die without it at all. it's just that it's not the best public health practice right now. everyone should be getting boosters to curb spread as we move into winter.

    This is my gloomy forecast for the late fall/winter. A surge of breakthrough infections due to waning protection and lack of all the fully vaccinated getting boosted. As a result, the anti-vac crowd digs in even further saying “see I told you so” because they can’t tell their ass from their mouth and have even less of a clue about infectious diseases and vaccine.

    Saddle up boys, gonna be a long winter.

    Any anti-vaxx people who have still dodged infection at this point will almost certainly get it. Georgia and most of the hard hit states are basically levelling off at case rate around or below 15/100,000 which has been a cutoff for some "quarantine when you get back from these" states.

    I don't get the end game for the anti vax folks especially as it seems this is never going away. Just going to continually catch COVID until it eventually kills you

    they believe they’ll get it and beat it then have immunity like the flu. Most of them will be right but will ignore how many other people they will infect. They’ve also convinced themselves the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus

    were entering I’m not a virologist territory here but I would expect after a certain number of times your immunity will become long term

    I did the math for fun and if the death rate is 1.6% and nothing changes about their immunity to or susceptibility to the virus, someone would have to catch it about 42 times for them to reach >50% chance to die. Crossing my fingers!

    Company vaccine policies and return to work are going to be interesting.

    All I’ll say for now, but I foresee our company having a hell of a time enforcing, let alone people complying.

    More importantly, we’re looking at potentially worse strains developing. While Delta has been bad, we need to be thankful there hasn’t been a more virulent, deadly strain since.
