@KrauthBen Amazing that immunity suddenly clicks on 2 weeks after the second dose for most vaccines, but it takes an extra day for the switch to flip for the AstraZeneca.
@EricPhDing I was today years old when I learned that people:
1) Didn't historically ever go to the doctor when they had a cold
2) Haven't been repeatedly told for 3+ years that if they have cold symptoms they're probably dying and must go the doctor even if they're feeling ok.
@doc_gero I miss the good days of pre-pandemic when there were no reports of dementia in elderly care facilities. As I recall, the residents also got daily unicorn rides, but alas, the vaccine killed all the unicorns.
@Laurie_Garrett Absolutely bonkers that it's been over 3 hrs since you posted this and you still haven't either:
1) deleted it, or,
2) posted a correction.
@gbosslet True story: at a family reunion a few years ago, one of the family members who works at a church school brought the PE parachute. We had everybody from the toddlers to the 80-YO grandparents playing games with it one afternoon.
@doc_gero I'm Catholic and I'm not the least bit surprised. Little things in this same vein are scattered all through society (and especially in my field of academia).
The fact that they actually were denied for their religious beliefs basically amounts to saying the quite part out loud.
Fascinating. I'd be shocked if this cross-reactivity manifests in meaningfully lower susceptibility to infection (after all, infection of OG COVID gave only some protection against Omicron infection), but every little bit helps when it comes to severe effects.
9) It may well be that the post-COVID-19 population has a much higher resistance to coronaviruses that emerge in the future, at least when it comes to protection from severe disease/mortality. Read more here: https://t.co/DSIAtwE5pi
@Griffith13Luke@USConst_Amend_I You make a strong argument. After all, if we know one thing for sure it's that nobody invokes qualified immunity to abuse power systems.
@MCCCANM So sorry to hear.
Please know that I'm keeping your whole family in my prayers. For a miracle if so willed, but also for comfort, for peace, for strength, and--regardless of how this journey progresses--for fond memories of Paris.
