OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

... and what's a few days to lose vs the rest of one's life ...

 

I saw there's a concierge MD service in LA that will come to you to give you monoclonal antibodies. Costs about $2k

 

I guess I can just get a booster as long as I claim a medical condition, which they can't ask specifics of because HIPAA.

 

The actual percentage of Israelis who are fully vaccinated is 61.5%, which is well under any herd immunity threshold that's been discussed. But why let facts get in your way when you want to post a bullshit tweet?

 

But 80% of those eligible for vaccines are fully vaccinated. Its 61% if you take into account kids that can't get vaccinated.

 

I still want to know the reasons why we can't get the booster shot.

 

Sorry, PHI. Privacy. Self-attestation, whatever.

 

And now we have less and less protection as time goes on with no booster, making vaccine passports moot.

 

But herd immunity doesn't give a shit how old the vulnerable people are. It takes somewhere between 70 & 90% of the entire population to have protection either from vaccination or the old-fashioned way of getting the disease. Dumbshits who don't get vaccinated are eventually going to add to the immune herd by getting sick...unless they die.

 

Are you upset that the FDA rejected booster shots? The boosters were meant to sustain the protection for the vaccinated.

 

No, its appropriate.

 

My understanding is that the reason the booster is currently not recommended by the FDA is because the data presented was not peer reviewed nor properly reviewed by the FDA. My guess is that we will see a booster approved in the future after the procedural steps are properly taken.

 

Hey, I'm old. I still have a chance at being authorized to get it.

FDA says that protection against serious disease is still adequate. I think that their definition of "adequate" may vary from most of the vaccinated population's. It's nice not to end up in the hospital or die (even though they say about 10-12% of the vaccinated folks could still have that happen). It's better not to have to get sick at all.
