LjL | finely[m], on the one hand i've argued on reddit that countries can't just unilaterally waive patents because they belong to companies and i've show them a treaty about it. on the other hand, the EU has had no big qualms ignoring international law when actually granting people asylum was inconvenient, so i'm not really sure why we can't just *illegally* start producing vaccines anywhere with the capability | 03:49 |
finely[m] | Great point. The penalties these IP treaties are so extreme though, and it really requires cooperation of companies transferring the knowledge of how to manufacture the vaccines (especially the new mRNA ones). | 03:57 |
finely[m] | The were reports of nation state hacking if pharma early in the pandemic. I wonder if even a small group of conscientious objector insiders could leak enough info for others to successfully manufacture? | 03:57 |
LjL | yes, i was looking at it purely from the point of view of "let's assume a ton of sites can just start producing vaccines based on what's public in the patents". when things are *secret* or just complicated without insider knowledge, cooperation becomes essential. at the same time, Pfizer and Moderna have already "threatened" (actually, cheered about to investors) to hike the prices once they decide the initial vaccination phase is over. do we want to be | 03:59 |
LjL | hostage of these companies for the coming decades, or do we want to draw a plan to avoid that? | 03:59 |

Arsanerit | At my sisters workplace, in a hospital, they vaccinated everyone in her team with the Janssen vaccine yesterday, and today five out of eight are home sick. It seems they could have planned that better. | 21:08 |
LjL | maybe they shouldn't have done all on the same day ;( | 21:09 |
LjL | AZ also seems pretty heavy on the younger | 21:09 |
Arsanerit | Indeed they shouldn't. | 21:09 |
LjL | i don't mean the scary clots, just the regular side effects | 21:09 |
Arsanerit | Yes, her colleagues are mostly young or mid-age women who are rarely sick. She's not feeling great herself but still OK enough to work. | 21:09 |
de-facto | well we talked here about that the phase 1/2 showed quite strong reactogenicity when it was published | 21:09 |
Arsanerit | My parents felt nothing at all from the BioNTech vaccine. | 21:10 |
de-facto | mine too, they only said they had a bit of a sore arm at injection site, but they are in their 70s | 21:11 |
Arsanerit | I applied for a vaccine appointment this week. | 21:11 |
de-facto | BNT? | 21:11 |
Arsanerit | Unknown to me until appointment is confirmed. | 21:11 |
Arsanerit | But given the circumstances it's very likely to be Comirnaty (BioNTech) or the Moderna vaccine. | 21:12 |
LjL | de-facto, we did but with AZ it didn't seem so bad, officially BNT lists stronger side effects, but i hear second and third hand that all the people less than 50 or so who're getting AZ are feeling quite sick, usually just for a day | 21:12 |

Arsanerit | I'm surprised that I can (Impfscham), but my employer (German weather service DWD) is officially "critical infrastructure" and has decided that all employees are critical (the former is probably true, the latter is very debatable, but I won't complain). | 21:13 |
de-facto | yes i heard that from people in their 30s about AZ too, they all had to take some meds against side effects | 21:13 |
LjL | my sister also felt a bit sick after the second BNT dose, but i think not *that* sick, and also not at all with the first | 21:14 |
de-facto | i wonder, have there ever been investigations about how the mRNA particles impact liver after vaccinations? | 21:15 |
de-facto | it probably would filter out all the free floating LNPs | 21:16 |
de-facto | and which cells are the ones with ApoE receptors that the LNPs injects the mRNA into? | 21:17 |

de-facto | rst two or three days, anyway, from what we can see from the animal models." | 21:24 |

rpifan | its almost like with a bit of effort we could comunicate and sometimes we can | 23:54 |
rpifan | but i found the ppl in italy wanted to speak english instead of spanish | 23:54 |
LjL | yeah it's not *that* easy... if you learn the basics then you start being able to communicate, but without those it sounds just enough out of reach that if you both know english, it's kinda preferable | 23:55 |
LjL | sabes lo que ... here's an example, i want to say "you know what i mean", in italian that would be said as "you know what i want to say" (sai cosa voglio dire), which i can translate literally into spanish as "sabes lo que quiero decir", which may be perfectly fine, but also it may not, because i don't know per se if "want to say" is idiomatic for "mean" in spanish the same as in italian | 23:56 |
LjL | so sometimes you are unsure whether to say things even though it later turns out they would have been fine (but then other times you think things are fine and they aren't) | 23:56 |
rpifan | sales lo que quiero decir is perfect spanish | 23:56 |
rpifan | but here is a good example | 23:57 |
rpifan | cosa doenst really mean cosa in spanish | 23:57 |
rpifan | it can be the meaning in italian is broader | 23:57 |
LjL | cosa can be "thing" in italian but also "what" | 23:57 |
LjL | i know in spanish the latter is only "qué" | 23:57 |
LjL | maybe "que cosa" can be said though? i imagine it's rare... in italian "che cosa" for what is perhaps more common than either "che" or "cosa" | 23:58 |
rpifan | my favorite italian expression | 23:58 |
rpifan | ma que cosa fai | 23:58 |
LjL | heh | 23:58 |
LjL | the initial "ma" is also something you can't translate directly into spanish | 23:58 |
LjL | and spanish has "ya" which in turn is weird to translate | 23:58 |
rpifan | actually was at a party in berlin and heard italians and i just said ma que cosa fai and then they started speaking to me | 23:58 |
rpifan | i was like noo | 23:58 |
rpifan | we do use que cosa but it means two things, one is literally what thing is that that yo uwant | 23:59 |
rpifan | but the other is like, oh well thats how it goes | 23:59 |
LjL | oh | 23:59 |
LjL | i didn't know that | 23:59 |
