The news report omits details. From the letter of emergency use authorization itself, quote:REGEN-COV may only be used in adult and pediatric individuals (12 years of age and older weighing at least 40 kg) for post-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19 in individuals who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death, and are: So there has to be an outbreak within the institution. Abstract future risk of exposure isn’t enough. Further, quote:REGEN-COV is not authorized for pre-exposure prophylaxis for prevention of COVID-19. Their double emphasis. If you want to argue that Florida is an open‐air institution, I’m not saying I disagree, but doctors may.

Could she get the Regeneron somewhere that's not one of those distro centers with people that have been confirmed to actively have it? Seems a bit of an unnecessary risk especially with someone immunocompromised.

Third shot of Pfizer received. Looking forward to the fever dreams, though the nurse said it shouldn't be nearly as bad as my second shot due to the longer interval (5 months versus 3 weeks).

Literal headline: "Almost 1 in 10 fully vaccinated don't want boostershot." link That's likely the biggest non news I've ever read. Why not say "nearly all fully vaccinated want boostershot"? or "less than 1% of the fully vaccinated don't want boostershot"?

I'll be interested to see how I feel after my Pfizer booster, I had no reaction to my first shot but I got hit by fatigue two hours after the second, along with an absolute ravenous hunger as my body demanded energy to deal with the interloper. That's pretty much how my body deals with most illness, demand fuel then hammer it into oblivion, no lovely half measures over the course of a few days, illness gone right now and drat the cost. I assume it'll be more of the same with the booster.

I assume it'll be more of the same with the booster. It's just a completely random choice between "no effect" and "Someone book me a trip to Switzerland", no matter what your previous reactions were. FWIW my reactions were mild fever to AZ1, no fever but slept for 12 hours the next day to AZ2, and painful shoulder and very slight headache to Moderna booster+flu vaccine, and I'm a total wuss who normally takes to my bed with the entire stock of the nearest Boots and a sheet of paper to write out my last will and testament at the slightest cold.

I do wash my fruits/veggies off before eating them but I also wonder how much it really matters. I'm not using soap obviously so what difference is a little water really making? I guess it probably gets some poo poo off there but

has ron considered gargling with bleach, an even stronger curative than listerine? kinda reminds me of when my mom would make me gargle warm salt water when i would get strep throat, which i got every single year for about 10 years straight as kid. it didn't do poo poo, and inevitably i would be in a doctor's office a couple days later getting a shot of penicillin in the rear end, which did do poo poo.

I guess it probably gets some poo poo off there but After finding out covid only survives on organic surfaces for 3 days, depends on how long they've been sitting in my house Fresh produce gets washed more the shorter period it's been in my time The big risk of not washing fresh produce is the people picking fresh produce don't have time to poop so they do it in the field and you're at increased risk of exposure to hepatitis etc

This stuff annoys me. The Pfizer CEO is already talking about possible 4th doses, but they say in the interview that they are still waiting on test results so this all comes off to me as them just trying to bump up their stock price. https://twitter.com/cnbc/status/1468981422660669448?s=21

We'd be getting quarterly boosters if mRNA production were up for the task, but the third world is still working on getting their first shot

The real crime is that there's a safe alpha specific vaccine that would be more effective against omicron but we're not going to roll that out until the omicron vaccine is ready Q2 next year

We may not get an omicron variant vaccine at all. They almost didn't give us boosters because fear of what it would do to vaccine uptake for the oh so persuadable antivaxxers, what's another 3 shots going to look like to those same regulators?

This was true before covid as well lol I can't believe that people just bring home apples from the store and eat them right away, the very same apples that I've sensually licked and kissed, I'm there doing it in your store every night and no one seems to notice or care Thank you I thought I was going insane, with all the people in this thread going on about being safe and using respirators and then "Yeah I just pick stuff up from the supermarket and just munch on it, oh no, watch out for covid, dangerrrr" Dang Something awful trolls gasligghting meeeee

Everyone should work in a grocery store for 6 months growing up. After that, you wash EVERYTHING. Never mind the customers, do you think the loading dock gets cleaned? Do you think the produce comes in sterile packaging before it goes on the shelf? Do you think that every grocery store in the nation is rat, cockroach and mouse free? Do you think the people who work there for minimum wage give a poo poo about your health and safety?  e: Do you think government inspectors proactively come and check any of this?

It's not like there aren't bugs and poop on the produce in the field anyway. Hell, they put both bugs and poop there on purpose!

Relevant Tangent posted:says nearly 9% so probably between 8.5% and 8.9 So more than 90% of vaccinated people plan on getting boosters. Trying to sort out deliberate anti-vaxx spin from stupidly sociopathic clickbait has become way too common. Like how even mainstream media makes it sounds like huge chunks of the workforce are resigning rather than get vaccinated, which simply is not the case.

CaptainSarcastic posted:So more than 90% of vaccinated people plan on getting boosters. Unfortunately "9% of vaccinated people don't want boosters" (in The Netherlands) is definitely not the same thing as "90% of vaccinated people plan on getting boosters". Apparently The Netherlands is going to start requiring boosters for travel starting in February and shortening their vaccine certificates to nine months, so I wouldn't be surprised if uptake is eventually relatively high. Without soft or hard mandates I'll be surprised if the US even hits 60% of vaccinated folks getting boosted, especially with how blase our recommendations have been.

Monoclonal antibody trip report: Woke up this morning and did get a little suspect that the place I was booked in at would charge me through the rear end. I called them and they reiterated the treatment was free, I asked if they'd bill me for anything else and was on hold with their billing dept for 90 minutes. Gave up and called my insurance who confirmed they were out of network and it would absolutely 100% cost $1k for the room even though the treatment itself is free. Full on scam. Then I found the state run places that do it, which are totally free, got booked in at 3pm and I just got home. They had both IV and the 4 shot version, the guy persuaded me to go with the 4 shots as it's way quicker and less fuss for me. To the guy asking earlier in the thread about getting a preventative one - you could tell them that you've been exposed to a confirmed case, and they will give you a preventative dose without any questions asked. Haven't really noticed it kick in yet. Will update when my energy levels surge back and all my aches fade away.

Stockers are supposed to put new items at the back of the shelf and position the existing stuff at the front; however, this takes time, and stockers are constantly monitored and written up if they take too long, so they cut corners everywhere. Corollary: any cans in the back of the shelf are from the Carter administration.
