    If you got your booster between your toes, you have some leftover habits from your dope fiend days...

    Or were you talking about a booster strap?

    I know a guy who is up to #5 for Moderna. Maybe more by now if he's not banned from Walgreens.

    I'm cautiously optimistic Omicron will be not much and these vaccines will be fine or at least help. Seems like we wait and see. I'm guessing travel bans are too late and it's been going around for a couple weeks now probably, so should have a better picture soon.

    So PCR test picks up Omicron... Good news. Jury still out on rapid tests like Abbott Binax??

    Abbott BinaxNow targets a nucleocapsid protein, so likely UNaffected by spike mutations. Of course there could also be nucleocapsid mutations.

    The neat thing about SOME PCRs is that they could have a single S target dropout while still being positive for RdRp, E, N2, ORF1, or other S targets which gives you a pretty good indicator of dealing with a variant with S mutations on at the target. Most of our PCRs won't do this, but some do. That is primarily how they spotted this in South Africa as they weren't doing a ton of sequencing compared to total testing positives.

    He told me he is concerned for his elderly mother whom he sees. I know him from playing sports unmasked at the gym so maybe he figures he's hedging his risks by being superboosted. Probably more effective than regular deworming.

    Girlfriend and I both got the booster (Moderna) yesterday afternoon. She felt dumpy last night, and worse this morning, but better this afternoon. Me, I felt fine last night, but as today goes by I'm feeling a little chilly/achy, although nothing too serious (yet). Both of us experienced more arm pain at the injection site than we had with previous pokes.

    But, yea, FFS!, get vax'd, and booster'd when you're eligible. It's the best thing we can do to take care of ourselves, and try to keep this thing from continuing to spread and mutate.

    In a related vein this has been stuck in my head as I watch the news...



    Syllable count? Probably. Interesting lyrics, though.

    WTF does ABACAB even mean? Or OMICRON for that matter?

    Yes we should all get vaccinated but that video was made in August 2021 and unfortunately she is comparing the entire pandemic unvaccinated cases/deaths vs a few months of fully vaccinated cases/deaths. Need to use the same time frame for both, I think...

    But that's the same logic they are using to try to say Biden has killed more people than Trump.. So, for that audience it's perfect with that flawed logic..

    I am beginning to wonder whether we will all need to get a 4th shot to protect us against this new variant. Then, in a month or so another variant will surface that will require (or command) a 5th shot, then a 6th, and so on and so forth.
    I sometimes wonder whether big Pharma sees a pay day, and rides this wave until one day the bubble bursts. A lot of people complained about US involvement in the Middle East due to its interest in oil, but any US oil profiteering concerns are trumped by big Pharma (the true big bro) 100 fold.

    I think the end game here is that we are going to end up with annual boosters, just like the flu, as the virus mutates, maybe combined with the flu shot.

    That seems fine to me?

    And there are a lot of valid reasons to bitch about big pharma. Rapid development of highly effective vaccines that they sell to the government for $25 a pop and give to consumers for 0 out of pocket isn't one of them.

    You would think not, but who knows what is going on behind the scenes?
    In the meantime, I would be the first one in line for that 4th shot
