@ItsInDeKalb Hey DeKalb road repair, please just fix the bridge/road behind sage hill plaza (broken since 8/2023) or at least open it to pedestrians and bikers. I watched your team drive down it so I know it can handle our weight. This is way safer than biking down Clifton.
Thought: when states criminalize transition care for minors (for theoretical harm), they should logically also outlaw anything that causes KNOWN harm to kids- like vaccine refusal, or smoking around kids, or storing a gun in the home. Can't imagine any of that happening . . .
@zev_stampfer You don't need that. Just go with Destihl Dill Pickle sour beer. 6 ounces of delicious drink, plus 6 more ounces that don't need to be there.
@jeffm1981 Those spike evolutions are to escape pre-existing immunity from OAS. And shorter incubation doesn't matter if you have good mucosal immunity prior to virus exposure- that's part of the mechanism preventing infection in people who were very recently infected or vaccinated.
Why are we still using a wild-type primary series COVID-19 vaccine that has essentially no neutralization against XBB.1.5 in an all omicron world?! It ought to be a bivalent or BA.5 primary series. Hopefully they update this before I have another kid. Ugh.
@jeffm1981 The original matched vaccines had fantastic protection against mild disease. We don't have that anymore due to our immune systems being biased towards that original strain. For a new child, better to bias their immune system towards the omicron variants for optimal protection.
@jeffm1981 Well right that's why you still vaccinate! But much better to have a well-matched durable antibody response. For example, so that your two year old has sterilizing immunity and doesn't transmit virus to your unvaccinated three month old.
Maybe McCarthy should make concessions to centrist democrats in exchange for their votes, instead of trying to capitulate to the crazy ultra-right congresspeople whose election platforms were based heavily on wanting to undermine our democracy. Or is cooperation that dead?
Just published our analysis of binding antibodies from a third dose of mRNA vaccine for COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients- Moderna as a 100 microgram booster keeps outperforming Pfizer in this group. More details: https://t.co/Wmfx4VqwnS
Either I miss the northeast or I really love my job. All I know is that I felt true happiness while biking into work on a sunny 15 degree day with little patches of black ice scattered about. Also I think the cold made my hydraulic brakes work better. ๐
#IDTwitter anyone know how to get an extended 20 day Paxlovid supply for a patient on rituximab with multiple COVID rebounds post hospitalizations? Not having a ton of luck through @pfizer Attempting to treat similarly to this: https://t.co/myTcMtEpOk
