hawaii will lock down again, they're considering a curfew now but that isn't going to do anything but we have to make absolutely sure that our lovely nonsense half measures without even a working theory are indeed worthless before we can try the thing we already know works.

Last I heard about Hawaii it was from locals shouting at the top of their lungs to please stop going on vacation to Hawaii, we're full. Are they going to keep letting tourists in?

A 24 year old woman my brother used to work with died of covid and everyone pointed out that it's no big deal because she was heavy.

like uh, have you looked at the rest of the country lately

I sent out an equipment return box for an employee who died. I googled the name and found an obit but no mention of Covid. He was a heavy set mid 30s guy so I gotta wonder if it was the roni.

lol for anyone that got a J&J vaccine, no booster for you

quote:

The calls and emails about Covid-19 boosters have already started coming in to Dr. William Schaffner’s medical center in Nashville, Tennessee.

It started last week, when the US Food and Drug Administration and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended an additional dose for certain immunocompromised people who had been given the Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines.

Biden administration expected to advise Covid booster shots for most Americans
Then, on Monday, Biden administration officials said they are working on a plan to recommend more Americans get a booster about eight months after being fully vaccinated with the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. The question will be addressed during a White House Covid-19 briefing on Wednesday.


But nearly 14 million fully vaccinated people in the United States didn’t get one of those mRNA vaccines. They got the single-dose shot from Johnson & Johnson, and so far, they are not a part of this booster conversation.

“Our J&J patients have not been overlooked or neglected. It’s just the way the data are coming in,” said Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

For J&J vaccine patients who are calling and emailing about boosters, he is telling them to wait.

“You can’t make good recommendations without the data,” he said.

Not all in the necessity of getting advance booster shots, esp if they're coming in the fall anyway, but this doesn't apply to people walking around with a single JJ dose. I'd absolutely get a booster now if I got JJ originally and wouldn't feel even a little guilty.

Yeah no guilt here, I just hate lying. Washington State does track vaccine status so I'm trying to come up with a fake name to give them when I walk in.

Same, absolutely choke when lying, which is why I've been holding off on a booster and still relying on my original Moderna doses and the glorious golden power of BCG coursing through my veins. If boosters weren't coming "soon" I'd probably go for it.

Someone who went the fake name route to get a booster told me they had to confirm all their fake info at the CVS, including phone # + address, so maybe prepare for that. OTOH hard to imagine grocery store workers would care that much.

I already have a fake name I use on the internet I'm going to use. I have a Google number ill give them and I plan to just reverse the month-date of my actual birthday. Currently rehearsing it in my head so I don't blow it.

I used my real information and just lied about having not been vaccinated yet. Worked like a charm. If I get a bill in the mail later, well, that's Future Me's problem

This exact thing is happening in my friends group with a guy who is big mad about having to wear masks again. He used the lollapalooza 'only 200 cases!' thing to justify that breakthrough cases are super rare. People who don't read this thread still think breakthrough cases are a thing that does not happen.

I wasn't going to post this but you talked me into it:

It's been T+24 hrs since I tricked the clinic into giving me Pfizer shot after having been vaccinated with J&J in early April. So far the only side effect I've had is a sore arm, but the soreness is significantly less than with the J&J shot.

J&J: immediate pain at the injection site like I'd just gotten hit in the upper arm with a 5lb sledgehammer. Pain went away after 24hrs. On the pain scale the soreness was probably a 6

Pfizer: no pain immediately after the shot but slowly ramped up over several hours. After 24 hours I'd call this soreness an 2 on the pain scale.

I have things I'd like to do this weekend but I'm being tentative on making plans in case I jinx myself and get wrecked over the next 24 hours.

When vaccines were new, the CDC said it was impossible to get infected if you were vaccinated. Then when the entire Yankees team caught Covid despite being vaccinated with J&J we were told oh it can happen but it's rare and you don't transmit. Then we found out it's not rare and you can transmit it, but you can't get long covid from it. Then it was oops we were wrong about long covid from breakthrough cases, but they're so rare they barely even happen. I'm sure by this time next month we will find out long covid from breakthroughs is common too! And people still will keep going to brunch, all the while stepping over the bodies of innocent children to do so!
