Proprietary COVID-19 and Vaccine thread

I can appreciate distrust of the government, as they certainly have earned it. I'm not into conspiracy theories without substantial evidence. Let's hope the evidence shows otherwise. Ultimately, if there is a significant health risk with the vaccines, it will play out right in front of us given the billions of people who have been vaccinated. I got Moderna and had no problems at all FYI.

Fair. just curious about others
Means alot to me.

I'm still getting the J&J, which I understand doesn't make any sense. I think all three will be approved in a few months and if I can avoid emerging technology and still get antibodies, that's the path I'm going to take.

Fair, just stay healthy. I wanted the J&J too but it went on pause when I ready. So I ended up with Pfizer

As long as you’re vaccinated :)
 
Having some issues finding a location to get the Janssen.

Probably going to have to drive an hour away on Wednesday. Co-worker's wife is a pharmacist and I have a call into her.
Definitely easier to find the Pfizer and Moderna right now but given your concerns the Johnson and Johnson fits best for you so hoping you can find it somewhere close.

Can somebody tell the history/economics bachelor degree holder that used to write for the New York Times that the influenza vaccine is a yearly re-engineered vaccine that protects you for about six months that’s been ongoing like that for 50 years. In other words, nothing new under the sun here boys.

I've seen a lot of objections regarding the vaccine as to whether it meets the technical definition of a vaccine. To me that is a bit of a deflection (appeal to definition). If it works, who cares how we define it?

You may have already done this, but if not….it allows filtering by vax type


Yep, did that. Turns out it isn’t very accurate at all. I, for one, am shocked a govt website has bad info on it.

There’s a clinic at the mall in my town that has all three (wed and Sundays) but I have a board meeting Wed night I have to attend. So I’ll be driving tomorrow. Hopefully by Wed night I am good.

What is synovus?


I am guessing you are talking about synagis? If so, thats a monoclonal like regeneron .


Unless you are calling regeneron a vaccine? If so, I guess you’re recommending everyone getting vaxxed to take regeneron. Once again, your pride is your downfall.

50 out of 50 ain’t bad


Come on…tag those doctors. Start a poll, lets find out how many think there is a vaccine for RSV.

Triple down eh doc.
 
Coworker who popped positive (and caused several others to test positive) has had Covid previously and is fully vaxxed.

He now has double pneumonia.
I think this delta version is some mean stuff for a lot of people. Definitely caught me by surprise with how it put its hooks in me. Pneumonia is a bad combo to have with Covid.

That when you can blame on voice to text. And you can harp on semantics all you want the point is made. That is what I was referencing when I said we’ve been treating children at higher risk my entire career. And now there’s a messenger RNA vaccine as well. I don’t think you do yourself any service Though attacking semantics that have nothing to do with the primary discussion at hand but if it makes you feel good about yourself I’m happy for you.

Lost a 71-year-old today that was vaccinated. First one I’ve lost it was vaccinated.
Should point out to be fair she had only receive the vaccine, her first shot, three days before she tested positive for Covid. Her granddaughter, who she was babysitting, ended up being positive for Covid. Pretty sad. Great family too.
 
I think we all knew it was getting approved by the FDA today. I’ve been a little busy this morning. Not sure that really changes anything for the people in here, the only thing the FDA has been waiting on was the approval of the shelflife of the label. Otherwise they Had signed off on everything else for months now.

To your point, if I get the shot on 8/30, it won't be the shot that the FDA just approved.

Has nothing to do with me feeling good, or semantics and you damn well know it man. The point has been made. You were wrong, then you lied about it, and now you continue to double down.

Now you are saying a monoclonal is essentially a vaccine, I believe? It is what is.

So make up your mind. Are you using a monoclonal to treat high risk kids, or are you using a vaccine in phase 1 trials, or are you using a vaccine in phase 3 trials with the elderly? Asking for clarity. Which are you using? Seriously asking. Or is WE someone else as well.

Remember, you said there is a vaccine we are using for high risk kids in the context of saying there is a safe RSV vaccine.

People might take you more seriously if you were just honest, and when you make a mistake just say, I was wrong.


Again. According to the CDC “There are currently NO vaccines for RSV”


Just looking for some clarity on the above context

This has been a MFer. I'm so sick of this crap. Even vaccinated, I will still be on edge visiting my elderly and ailing parents.
Would love to tell you it’s gonna get better too. And I hope it does. But I think we have at least another 6 to 8 weeks for this pandemic surge to die down. I’m just glad you’re going to be vaccinated now.

On the good news front our numbers are down by about 5% and down by about 10% since our peak last week.

It feels like it's easing up around me. That may be entirely localized to my oddball bubble but it was a wildfire about 10-14 days ago and now it feels more like the smoldering tinderbox that follows the wildfire.

I think we’re not far apart and location and I’m having the same experience. Hopefully this version has run its course.

This poem was made rather famous recently by a movie of the same name. This poem was written by a young man in a tuberculosis hospital in the 1800s. He wrote this poem not long after they told him he was probably going to die from tuberculosis. He actually survived and got better for a number of years but when you think about what he was writing about, essentially his impending death from a respiratory infection it really hits home to revisit it right now. Seeing these patients day in and out, watching them die, imagining what this man fell laying in the hospital words, the tuberculosis wards of the 18th century thinking about his own death at night when he wrote this, is a Mortality, how helpless he must’ve felt and then to turn around and write this, it’s kind of haunoto me right now.


BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

Based on the locations of the hospitals that you work in, I'd guess about 3 hours apart.

I lived in Baton Rouge as a kid btw and I still go there about 4 times a year for our family business. Based on where all you practice, I'm assuming that you are somewhere near there.
