Got my 4th Pfizer

Gonna be guinea pig for USA. Pharmacy was like you’re the first, how do we do this 

[Pissy F Benny]

They're giving out 4th's already? The data coming out of Israel that a 4th jab, at least this quickly, is diminishing returns at best, but I suppose daddy pfizer (and their shareholders in government ) needs even more cash

[Bebpo]

They're giving out 4th's already? The data coming out of Israel that a 4th jab, at least this quickly, is diminishing returns at best, but I suppose daddy pfizer (and their shareholders in government ) needs even more cash

The Israel data is that with Omicron the 4th dose increased antibodies (which reach even higher than a 3rd dose) is not enough to stop symptomatic omicron infection.

But the data also shows it greatly reduces hospitalization, serious illness and death. Just like the first 2.5 months of a 3rd dose.

Mostly just care about the latter. I don't mind if I get omicron, but I really don't want to die from it.

[Pissy F Benny]

That's fair enough. I suppose when if they tried pushing it out on everyone, not just those with other illnesses etc would be the time to raise an eyebrow. 

FWIW I would have rather my booster had gone to someone in a poorer country who needs it and hasn't even had 1 shot yet (not like we have a choice in the matter, but I don't see the point in giving a booster to the 80% or whatever of the populations of a rich country who don't really need them), and only had it because the definition of fully vaxxed would eventually change from 2 to 3.

[Bebpo]

I get that, but I also think on an individual level whether people get their boosters or shots or not doesn't effect the total USA stock and isn't going to suddenly add more vaccines to a 3rd world country.

Instead the USA basically sits on and throws away unused vaccines.

poorer countries need more vaccines, but that's just a separate issue.


That being said, yeah, the 4th shot discussion is just for people over 65 and those under 65 with certain compromising health issues. I have a feeling they won't ever make the 4th shot the norm because by that point later this year they'll have a a new and better vaccine for the general public that will better deal with variants.

No. There are a few fringe doctors concerned about shots overloading the immune system, but there has not been a single result showing that.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-24/fourth-shot-gives-protection-from-covid-infection-israel-says

From today. 4th shot gives 2x protection against symptomatic infection, 3x against serious illness.

Diminishing returns, sure. But still increased protection.

Our country is opening back up, basically everything will be open from 08:00 to 22:00. Still QR codes for bars, movie theatres and a bunch of other places though.
With that said our new health secretary has decided to not further expand the various COVID apps and an advisory board has ruled against implementing 1G (e.g. vaccination mandates).

Masks advice remains in effect as well as social distancing rules and self tests.

Approx. 455000 people currently infected and in self-quarantine.
Very few people in the ICU. COVID wards opening up for regular healthcare again.

Government will announce new guidance March 8.

They had no choice, most people started to open up their stores themselves and police was no longer enforcing.
Also the government started with a ~20% or lower approval rating and local elections would've wiped them out next month.

COVID tyranny

This is standard procedure on organ transplants. They aren't available enough to afford being used on an unprotected patient compared to one who is. It's basic triage.

As the story clearly states in the fourth and fifth paragraphs:

"And like many other transplant programs in the United States - the COVID-19 vaccine is one of several vaccines and lifestyle behaviors required for transplant candidates in the Mass General Brigham system in order to create both the best chance for a successful operation and also the patient's survival after transplantation."

Dr. Arthur Caplan is Head of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He says being vaccinated is necessary for this type of procedure. "Post any transplant, kidney, heart whatever, your immune system is shut off," Caplan said. "The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving."

Yeah I read it. Still feels fucked up but this life is a bitch.

My brother works with transplant patients and they're some of the most vulnerable people to COVID, hence why the vaccine is so imperative for them to get.
But on the flip side of the coin - how many people are out there unable to secure an ICU bed because it's been taken up by an antivaxxer dying of COVID? How many hospital personnel (who are already stretched thin dealing with this) is he putting at risk by not being vaxxed?

For people who end up in the ICU because they're unvaxxed, I just wish them the best and hope they 'see the light' when they heal. I think hearing 'get vaxxed' from people who were unvaxxed, got really sick, and then realized they made an error is FAR more helpful than the 'Herman Cain Awards' or what some of the more malicious elements of the pro-vax movement do.

Usual rules apply

- Why were they hospitalised?
- Were they in ICU?
- Did they even have Covid?
- How about underlying health conditions?

Looking at a spike in a graph and panicking is not particularly helpful at this juncture.

"These are not particularly sick infants. In fact, they're coming in for short periods of time," study author Calum Semple, Professor in Child Health and Outbreak Medicine, University of Liverpool, told reporters, adding that the proportion requiring oxygen was falling.

Russell Viner, Professor of Child and Adolescent Health, UCL, said that the trend was likely in part because Omicron symptoms might resemble the sort of respiratory conditions that would encourage parents to bring in babies to hospital as a precaution, whereas clinical pathways for older children would not bring them to hospital with such mild symptoms.

.....And the indications are that children admitted to hospital with omicron are even less sick, as they require less support than children admitted earlier in the pandemic and are discharged earlier. Oxygen use by children aged under 1 admitted in the past four weeks for whom data are available was 12%, compared with 22.5% in the first wave of the pandemic. Admission to intensive care was 9.9% (v 14%), use of mechanical ventilation was 2% (v 5.8%), use of non-invasive ventilation was 2% (v 7.2%), and mean length of stay was 1.7 days (v 6.6 days).

Camilla Kingdon, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said, “As paediatricians, we are accustomed to having busy winters where we see lots of particularly under 1s, typically, with high fevers, often with some kind of respiratory distress.”

She noted an increase in babies testing positive for omicron but lots of other respiratory viruses also circulating. “The presentation of these babies very much fits in with a mix of what we would expect to see in a busy winter in the UK,” she said.

[T-Short]

DK hospitalisations graph is following the same pattern as ours in SE (and many other european countries): The hospitalisation (excluding ICU) numbers are based on people in hospital care for or with covid. So, this line is going up because we have a very explosive omicron spread. So _a lot_ of these people end up on this graph because they are admitted to hospital care and also end up realising that they are covid infected.

Now, this is obviously not ideal, since a covid-infected patient, regardless of medical state, obviously needs to be treated differently as a highly contagious patient, with higher demand on logistics/space and caution/protection level for hospital staff. But it's not the panic indicator that some people would have you believe.

[headwalk]

there was never a rise in covid ICU patients all throughout omicron in the UK, and numbers are now freefalling (last numbers were the lowest since july).

it's not "on ventilators", it's in beds with capacity for mechanical ventilation (so it's essentially shorthand of "in ICU units"), and yes it's by far the best indicator we have of how many people are getting severely ill with covid.

the deaths are just the maths of widespread it has been. we have 50-60,000 all cause deaths every january in the UK and even conservative estimates state something like 10-15% of the population have had omicron in the last month. die within a month of having covid and you're counted as a "covid death" regardless of any other circumstance.

when this all shakes out, the CFR of omicron will be in line with some of the mildest of diseases we have.

[Nintex]

Our booster campaign is fizzling out as is support for any kind of COVID measures.
Feels like what's left is a bit symbolic as this point. Our government will probably fast track the removal of more regulations.

The 'new normal' plans can go straight into the dumpster it seems but some folks will suffer from some serious trauma when all is said and done.
I occasionally run into people that fear the unvaccinated.

This is inhumane and criminal. I continue to be stunned by the cruelty we are witnessing in our world today. You read history about how entire societies lose their minds and commit atrocities against their fellow citizens and think “It would never happen in our times”. Well look around. The hospital board members and all others who support this insanity are the SS officers of our times. History will remember them as such. I can’t imagine what your family is going through and I hope sanity and compassion prevail here.

We really need James's input on this story.

Anyone seen him around lately? I'm getting concerned.
