What's even nuttier... Moderna is ~2-4% more efficacious than Pfizer... We should be reserving the Pfizer shots for 12-17 year olds...

Yup- there is also the Delta Plus variant... Some crazy scary **** coming down the pipeline... I know you are not too fond of Eric Feigl-Ding, but he's pretty on the ball with the newest data.

So... it looks like the delta variant is going to swamp the USA in a month.

Today I learned a very elegant way to wrap one's head around big numbers:

Interesting article on the weaponization of "Smokescreen Trolling" (or the “authoritarian mullet”: culture wars in the front, attacks against democracy in the back.)

100% intentional.

A little information on the vaccine divide. TLDW: Pandemic will end when it becomes people over profit.

My suggestion is to hit the mom and pop pharmacies. My first shot was done at one, the were one of the last places to fill up

Today, I learned that @SpeedFlex27is a cranky old man, 😁🤣 Just kidding Speed, the set up was too good not to take.

In a better place than MB? Absolutely. That is a a low bar... we have the highest ingrown rate north of the Mexican border. But what is happening in the UK is a glimpse of what is gong to happen, unless something different is done. Throwing the province wide open with only 25% of the population being fully vaccinated... that is not learning from other's mistakes.

Whoa, Did Kenny just announce that Alberta is lifting ALL restrictions Canada day? With only 25% people fully vaccinated? This is not going to end well. Hello 4th wave Alberta. Madness.

Second dose eligibility dropped:

Oh wow, my first time seeing it and it made my day.

Awesome.

What. The. Actual. ****. Is going on here? This is literally nazi talking points here... how is there no accountability for this ****? Why is ****** carlson allowed to continue doing this?

Also, for those weary about mixing vaccines, here is an article that discusses this. It looks promising. https://www.bloombergquint.com/coronavirus-outbreak/pharma-executives-seeking-higher-immunity-mix-own-covid-shots “If you can mix and match, it’s going to look better, something that immunologists have known for decades,” said Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London. “I’d bet my house on the working hypothesis that it’s doable and would produce immunity that’s at least as good if not better.” Early research appears to back the approach. A study of almost 700 people in Spain showed that those who received a second dose of Pfizer’s vaccine after a first Astra shot saw their neutralizing antibodies climb sevenfold, significantly higher than those who had two Astra doses. A small trial in Germany suggested that mixing Astra and Pfizer shots could trigger antibody responses almost four times higher than a two-dose course of the Pfizer vaccine."

Some reading material for those interested The discussion section of the study can be found on the full text tab of the study.

TMI? really? I think it's a favourite word for many around here.

"Rightful home"? In a city that rhymes with ******? I think not. edit: I still don't understand why ****** is censored... if anything, regina should be censored.

Just sitting and chilling out here in the 15 minute wait area after getting my second shot. Feels good.

I remember seeing that segment and thinking... "****, someone is going to get shot"

Shaming someone that is openly sharing one of the reasons why they got vaccinated doesn't help. If seeing the bombers play is a reason for them getting over their hesitancy and getting vaxxed- I'm all for it, why call them out for it?

Hey- what ever your reason- good on you. C'mon- any reason to get vaccinate is good. No need to shame him for his love of the Bombers...
