    Its crazy much of the world is locking down again, but here in the US, everything is opening up.

    At least here in California, I suspect the opening up is in response to the Governor about to be recalled so he's playing political chess with our lives.

    Pfizer Covid vaccine 'is 100% effective against South African variant, beats Brazilian strain' AND works for at least six months - while lower antibody levels seen in lab tests do NOT affect jab's real-world protection
    • Pfizer Inc and BioNTech said ongoing study of their COVID-19 vaccine shows it is around 91% effective at preventing the disease after six months
    • The shot is also 100% effective in preventing illness in trial participants in South Africa - but the company admits the study group was small, with 800 people
    • The new 91% efficacy is lower than the 95% originally reported in November after a 44,000-person trial
    • The updated results includes data on more than 12,000 people fully inoculated after six months
    • Pfizer says the results positions it to submit for full US approval with the FDA

    I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine 2 days ago, second dose later in April. Our state is opening up vaccines to everyone on April 5th but there have been a lot of open spots recently the day of for anyone to fill, so was able to find one the other morning.

    Can you explain what this means exactly?

    "It was 91.3 percent effective at preventing symptomatic infection"

    When a daddy virus loves a mommy virus they make a baby virus.

    But if mommy virus is a whore and doesn't know who the daddy virus is the baby virus is a bastard.

    I’ve also got an old-timer buddy who served two tours who’s all fucked up from it. Always getting surgeries, cancers removed, etc.

    That phrase is hilariously meaningless.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It's not, if it's true. It means that 100% of the people who take it suffer reduced effects if they do get it.

    It has a clear meaning, and an important one. I don't know how they determine that, though.

    Retail stores might need to go back to counting the people that go inside. Some still do but most have stopped.
