Thank goodness

Thank goodness

I wish they’d get the bivalent booster out soon. We’re flying to Denver in late September, and the plane trip (or airport) is where we think we got it in February.

Do you think it's because he was vaccinated?

Have you heard an update? I have been holding out for that one.

Still pretty vague apparently. September-ish.
What's behind the FDA's controversial strategy for evaluating new COVID boosters

People getting Covid after getting vaccinated has me done with any more boosters.

Well, the evidence shows that it significantly reduces the chances of being hospitalized, so that’s the attraction for me. Especially if the updated boosters ever get going.

It was fun going in the PF and easily and factually debunking some of the crap being posted...

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

My favorite had to be the fat guy who got vaxxed in 2021 and died in 2022 from a heart attack and they were trying to imply he died from the vax..

You sure not being hospitalized isn’t a person to person phenomenon given that some people, vaccinated or not, are affected in a wide variety of ways from dying to no symptoms at all?

 

[hmanvolfan]

And the CDC just admitted their recommendations and steps taken during the “pandemic” were wrong and was handled badly so I’m not putting a lot of stock in their research.

Right now, there is some correlation between vax status and severity. This correlation is nowhere near as strong as 2021. In general, each strand of COVID has got progressively weaker.

To me, this was/is always the context of the discussion when people say "getting COVID."

It’s the numbers. They look at co-morbidities (age, immunocompromised, other medical conditions), and hospitalization is still lower among vaccinated and/or boosted.

Yes, if you’re (lol, we’re) older, etc., we’re still more likely to be hospitalized or have severe cases than obnoxiously young and healthy, but we’re less likely to have these bad cases than those like us who weren’t v and/or b. Or previously infected, although the protection resulting from that has been awfully variable.

It’s a weird virus that, on an individual level, is unpredictable in how severely it affects you, but when you back up at look at overall numbers, it’s very clear that immunization is VERY helpful.

Yeah, their bureaucratic mindset really buggered up a lot of things.

They don’t do the science though (mostly.) They try to administer the findings.

That doesn’t mean that the science is wrong.


Oh well, off to dig holes in the ground. (Plants, not people)

When they post real science I'll listen.
