Which are bad, because there's no real difference between Ontario and WI/MN/MI from an epidemiological standpoint

It gives me pause because there’s always a chance something that works fine in older children/adults will not interact well in young ones but I have been looking at the data and I think I would write an off label prescription for at least down to age 7.

I’m not personally involved with a pediatric trial but one of my good friends is and she is seeing good results. (Pfizer)

So a screengrab of this article was posted earlier ITT with the trial dosage levels for the different age groups - https://abcnews.go.com/Health/pfizer-advances-clinical-trials-11-year-olds-lower/story?id=78148963

Anyone have further info (pre-prints?) on what the trials are showing for 5-11 and 2-4 age groups at this time? I'm wanting to read up on this to see about having a conversation with our pediatrician. TIA.

I'm curious about this. My wife and I have a plan if one of us is in contact or gets infected and I wonder if it's just pissing in the wind.

It’s probably pissing in the wind to be honest but some homes have a better layout to give it a chance. We have a basement with a master suite that has it’s own hvac system. So we’re living like basement trolls in the hopes of minimizing exposure to the rest of the house.

Nothings perfect and since there are containment failures regularly even in hospitals, I’m not kidding myself as to effectiveness but I would hope it’s protecting the rest of the family at least a small bit. We’ll see.

Their model for hospitals beds/ICU is LOL. One more week and then it'll alllllllllll magically disappear and it'll be clear skies all the way to Christmas!


Their prediction for future mask use is amazing. According to their team of world-class statisticians it'll either stay exactly the same as it is today or it'll instantly shoot up to 95% coverage and stay there for the rest of the year

Amazing.

i switched pediatricians recently because after the CDC mask burning party our old pediatrician honest to god fought us to put on a loving mask during the last appointment. so i haven't been to the new pediatrician yet.

how do i ask them for off label covid vaccine for my kid without coming off as a kook or loony and instead like a responsible parent?

18 month appointment is mid Sept

was thinking of submitting a question through their online portal: can you please evaluate our child for off label administration of pfizer covid-19 vaccine based on the recent FDA approval?

Yeah, our entire federal government got boosters a month before they were approved for anyone else. If that somehow turns out to be a disastrous mistake, it will at least be really funny.

Saagar (Breaking Points, formerly The Rising) has COVID and mentioned this morning that (roughly) "Delta is very infectious and I could have gotten it anywhere" and since he was vaccinated that definitely helped him have a mild case so he "didn't seek medical care to not overburden the system" and then uses those correct points to continue wanting schools to open.

Like I know he's a moron but it's amazing to see people list all the reasons that kids shouldn't be in school: highly infectious, no vaccine, overburdened already medical system == open schools? loving wild.

the only good thing about those shows ever has been krystal ball because she can convey authenticity and even she rides this weird line sometimes like a glenn greenwald or jimmy dore like almost libertarian except on the left, a tainted socdem, idk. deliberate branding ofc in order to maximize viewership

haven't watched almost since the dem primary, just remember episodes without Krystal were total trash. tried Breaking Points a few times but the covid poo poo just completely pissed me off.

Peds doctors are going to CYA and not shoot up kids outside of what the FDA has approved as proper use. I can't believe we don't have a better option for kids than "lol well just don't get the plague".

AAP came out against off label use, that’s probably going to make it a lot harder to find a doc to do it.

Maybe they thought that covid was over and it was time for their well deserved retirement after a job well done ...... or maybe they just really preferred the 'office culture' under the Trump administration and weren't happy with the new drapes that the Biden administration chose or something.
