Living with the virus sucks poo poo. This kid I'm working with at this school was kept out of school for 2 years because he's immunocompromised and now another of his classmates is sick. It's probably not covid but it doesn't seem like a good situation for him.

Immunocompromised people filing ADA related lawsuits is probably the only kinda viable path for any type of COVID mitigations to ever exist ever again.

Do we have sera studies for a few months after Omicron infection yet? Would be interesting to see what a likely time window for reinfection is likely to be.

It's incwedibwe easy to suck my own dick.

It's cool not only that under 5s are just forgotten, but also no boosters of any sort for the young kids who could get shots, so my decision to run out and get mine vaxed immediately looks pretty stupid now that his vaccine protection has waned and cannot be boosted. Yeah, Max Titers and all, but it's a bigger ask to play with my kid's immune system than my own (Shot count: 5).

quote:

Seventeen Port Authority employees have been terminated so far as disciplinary hearings continue for more than 300 employees who refuse to comply with the agency’s mandatory vaccination policy against the COVID-19 virus.

Authority spokesman Adam Brandolph said 100 employees have returned to work on 30 days of probation after they received the first dose of the vaccination. Nine employees have retired, and 127 remain suspended with pay pending their hearings.

Mr. Brandolph said hearings have been delayed for some workers because officials from the Amalgamated Transit Union were unavailable to represent workers because of a union convention. Hearings now are scheduled to be finished by the end of next week.

Meanwhile, the agency’s amount of trips missed due to unavailable operators has gone down as some operators return to work. The number of missed trips peaked at 18% when the mandate began March 15, but it has been under 10% since April 3.

When it comes down to their job they get vaccinated.

It'll never be an answered question.

People have made up their minds regarding what they would prefer that reality do, and that is final.

There are still people who think we found WMDs in Iraq. There are still Obama Birthers.

There's still people who believe capitalism works.

It will never matter, they're correct and they have always been correct and they will always be correct.

A sterilizing vaccine or things getting worse are the only two ways we exit this thing so look at the bright side, the more data we get that COVID isn’t the flu the better chance that even if society doesn’t do something at least it acknowledges that it is reasonable for individuals to try to do something.

those fears are evaporating away, but in their place a new tumor of pure horror is taking hold in my heart and beginning to grow. or maybe that's a blood clot idk

Pretty smart here because it should allow them to incorporate mainstream data sources into their conspiracy theory. Wastewater plants show huge spikes in covid before we see officials cases now. But, hey, that's just proof someone's been pumping hundreds of gallons of snake venom into the water treatment system.

What do you get, like a teaspoon of venom out of a snake every day? I assume this conspiracy involves enormous snake venom harvesting factories.
