the 8 month window for boosters is kind of poo poo. the israeli data shows around 8 months you are somewhere between 16-42% efficacy against delta with the mRNA vaccines. that's... not good.

max titers / eric crackl-ping after 6 months might be the way to go. let's see how strict pharmacies, etc. get about gatekeeping the official boosters

Yeah I'm here for my booster, its been 8 months. I couldn't find my vaccine card though.

I'm sure that's the case for some folks but the people I know who refuse the vaccine are doing so because they just don't want to take it. It's weird

I still think every excuse for not getting the shot except for not wanting to miss work with side effects is a bullshit excuse for being afraid of needles.

Yo, anyone got stress management tips? I ask because I have quite a few needles in the red over her. Like, not all of the needles are in the red. But it's the most I've ever seen. So I should probably address this.

My strategy lately is to to enter a stress fugue state where nightmare and reality merge in a neverending string of unavailable disaster.

I don't recommend it.

My strategy lately has been alcohol. That just took me from 'stressed' to 'stressed and hungover with stress hives'. I want to rip my face off.

Cutting back on booze did help a little for me. It sucks hard for the first couple of weeks though.

Has Biden signed a single executive order since taking office. Trump was loving trying to ban Muslims from day one and any other crazy bullshit he could think of. Seems there's plenty Biden could do about this but won't to keep from upsetting his base, the republicans.

In that heat map what was the story behind Missouri being deep purple and then suddenly just devoid of data before returning back to a more 'normal' trend?

The two big cities in the state both have indoor mask mandates. That probably helped slow it some. It's still chewing through rual areas though and there's a new hotspot brewing in the bootheel.

I think they picked 8 months because the W.H.O. was complaining about other countries not getting vaccines and wanted to give them a couple extra months of good vaccine exports.
Then they saw the school infection rates and and decided moving up the booster would count as doing something about it.
