To Vaccinate or Not---The Rat Flu Odyssey Continues

[Trackhead]

Covid.....political asshattery for the modern, albeit aged, TGR collective.

FWIW, I work in a community that very much supports Trump, and most of the population at highest risk (over 65) is vaccinated. They understand the risk. I can't cite specific percentages, but I'm surprised at how many patients tell me they had their booster, and I assumed they had not been vaccinated.

Continually generalizing entire demographics does nothing to further vaccination efforts. Certainly increases push back and makes my job infinitely more difficult, and perhaps cost me $$ as some of my income is based on quality measures that revolve around vaccinations.

Some positive news for a change.

Psst. Science was quickly able to determine the structure of omicron, and of course the virus also uses this same RNA sequence to produce its folded spike trimer, inside the human cell.
We don't have an issue with proper protein folding based on size exclusion chromatography and retention of Mab binding for any of the spikes we have made- now including omicron.

But remember, in order for that mRNA vaccine to work, we actually need to form a Spike trimer on the outside of the cell the mRNA is delivered to, via transit the ER and golgi apparatus. Unfolded and misfolded proteins won't make it through to get placed on the cell surface and are targeted to degradation pathways.

Ie, this is a non-issue.

Small town. Only place to get a test is the hospital. Testing was drive through in the parking lot across the street. Regeneron treatment was in a pop up building in the parking garage.

I had symptoms, but nothing hospital worthy. Oxygen was at 97% when they took vitals during the treatment this morning.

If you were hospital-worthy or had low oxygen due to COVID-19, it would have excluded you from getting the treatment. Hopefully you will not get any worse and recover quickly!

Are you sure they gave you Regeneron and not Sotrovimab? We stopped giving Regeneron over a month ago because it doesn't work against Omicron. They stopped shipping Regeneron nationally 4 weeks ago.

Everything is Omicron.

Well, my turn to catch the kung flu.

Double vaxxed with moderna, woke up yesterday with fever, chills, cough. Added body aches to the list this morning. Took the monoclonal antibody today, so we'll see if that speeds things up.

That might be true of the Trump supporting population over 65 in general. What's the solution? Part of the analysis must be to identify the portion of the population that is most hesitant to getting vaccinated and from what I've read there's a lot of people in the Trump camp that are vaccine hesitant. I think vilifying them doesn't help, but is this segment of the population so sensitive that we can't bring up that they've been mislead? I guess that's what you're getting at in part...so we should just keep hammering home that vaccines are very effective and get vaccinated?

Is Farmer the guy who's daughter was on Survivor or some other reality TV show?

"The Expose"? Is that the British equivalent of "The National Enquirer"?

The handout I got to book the appointment said regeneron. The data sheet they sent me home with said regeneron. The waiver I signed said regeneron.

They did say they were no longer being sent more doses, and this would likely be the last week they had the treatment.

I feel way better this morning. Whether that's from the treatment, another good night's sleep, or a placebo effect, I guess we'll never know.

If the trend continues the fear and terror campaign may just end.

NS is surprisingly proud of how gullible he is and how poorly he processes information. I suspect if posting on tgr was just a bit more complicated, he'd probably have to find a child or a dotard to help him work his internet machine.

Nice debate points.

Mod’s?

Is this a purely personal attack the likes of which is prohibited?

This is gold. Thanks for the new sig. Multiple pages later, and no one cares, or even responds to your fake outrage.

After review, and the reason why this is a nothing burger, the only personal attack in our exchange is YOU calling me a pussy. Act like an internet bully, lose at your own game, cry, then try to get me kicked out?

The Mods won't save you, kid.

Don't play with fire, or you might get burnt.

If it was Regeneron, it was placebo effect, unless you had the Delta.

Granted, we still call the mAb clinic the Regeneron clinic, even though we use different mAbs, but at least we changed the paperwork to say Sotrovimab. (Its basically the same in regards to warnings and such)

Maybe an oversight. Maybe they wanted to dump the rest of the Regeneron to make you feel better. Maybe they thought you had Delta (which would be odd).

But regeneron is no longer standard of practice, and hasn't been for a while, as mentioned above.
