    I haven't been looking obsessively lately, hence why i asked, but furry scientist is always sunshine and rainbows so idk why her being unconcerned is interesting. But hey now i know its an actual thing if she acknowledged it enough to downplay it out of hand again

    If this is really a sub-lineage of Omicron then I'm less concerned. There's record deaths now because we've blown past record cases as this variant was so different than Delta. There's a ton of evidence that it still is less virulent than Delta.

    Iirc oncugen filed for a EUA for 1 like 4 months ago but was told they had to submit approval as a biologic instead and had to reset the whole approval process.

    Still seems like the FDA is dragging their feet on that one too tho

    I know Shankar and the company (they used to be an ocular company the name implies). I even live nearby. I was kidding. I wouldn’t trust them for a second. Not submitted via BLA? Amateur hour. This is like Novavax but far worse.

    not that Covaxin itself is a problem but if AZ couldn’t get their whole virus inactivated vaccine approved in the US ocugen and Shankar don’t stand a chance

    A family friend's coworker went and got a 4th shot...She apparently lied so I am assuming that is not approved of.

    Has anyone else heard of people doing this?

    Israel ran with it for pfizer for health care workers and the elderly. It seems to return protection up to third-shot levels, which may be a thing that is needed for groups as protection wanes over months but there's not enough time elapsed to say so. There's no US guidance on it, and doesn't seem like there's going to be for a while, but if she's a transplant patient or some other immunocompromised condition then yeah go for it lady (after talking to their doctor).

    I'm not seeing any mention of reinfection concern with ba.2 anywhere, outside of people saying it's too antigenically similar to the parent omicron strain for that to be a concern. Likely more transmissible, but otherwise not much different, and unlikely to change the shape of this wave substantially, if at all.

    Guess I'm with the furry on this at this point.

    Caught Covid again. No symptoms so far. My son woke up sick so I tested us both on a home Binax test. He feels like he has a cold. Everyone is vaccinated so hopefully it stays that way.

    Has anybody compared death rates for Delta, Omicron and prior waves among the unvaccinated? Michigan's death numbers are very similar for this winter's wave and last winter's wave, despite much high cases this winter, but also the most populous counties are between 60% and 70% vaccinated.

    I think there's enough consensus now that Omicron is less deadly as it seems to leave your lungs alone, at least more so than the prior variants. Deaths are so high because Omicron is so much more contagious than even Delta, I saw some tweet where experts thing over 50% of the entire global population will have been infected/exposed-to-infection by March.

    I’ve listened to him on podcasts - Prasad thinks very little of ivermectin and it’s fanboys, and is staunchly pro-vax. Are you going to war with everyone who doesn’t adhere to every part of the party line?

    let alone the fact that the country has basically no measures currently through this wave

    Vinay Prasad is a fucking moron in everything he fucking does. Do you want to go to war with me? He's a first rate idiot who was mocked by all of biotwitter far before Covid for his completely radical agenda with regards to cancer treatments. He'd have you get NOTHING but chemo if you had cancer because he doesn't deem other approaches cost effective. He's pro death panels, Summa.

    A little over 4 months post booster, I got covid last week. No fever, mainly just a bad sore throat (drainage) and a light cough.

    The next pandemic isn’t going to be a novel virus. It’s going to be something we had under control/defeated that comes roaring back bc a bunch of people put more trust in elderberry gummies than general vaccinations bc of some shit they read on freedomeagle69’s Facebook page

    The speed at which some posters get roped into the grifters and loudmouth doctors speaking way outside their area of expertise and ignore ALL the other doctors and scientists is astonishing. They don’t even know who they are defending. Just that they already agreed with it and they have a nice few letters after their name on Twitter.

    I knew nothing of his approach to cancer, only what I’ve heard from him on Covid . I’ve enjoyed his alt-middle thoughts on the pandemic, but obviously am not on board with death panels and penny-pinching with cancer treatment.

    Prasad’s comment above about N95s not being effective is garbage, of course they’re protective.

    So are you guys taking your free government tests as soon as you get them, or saving them until you are exposed or have symptoms?
