BrainstormTurboTech: From www.washingtonpost.com: - The Washington Post00:05
nixonixotherwise looked decent enough, exp this imo: "How soon is too soon to get vaccinated after you're sick with COVID-19? If you're no longer sick and out of isolation, you should get vaccinated."00:09
nixonixwaiting longer possibly improves b-cell affinity maturation. some countries recommend 3 months, which should be ok. a bit shorter perhaps if mild infection and lots of cases around00:10
TurboTechThe CDC is stating that the Vaccine is more effective than the vaccine.  I am not saying do not get vaccinated. The problem is that the Data being posted lately is saying that those who contracted the virus have a pretty damn good immune system and have not gotten it again.00:12

nixonixtheres not much proper reinfection studies, mostly pre delta or even alpha. it seems to happen a lot now with delta. they used to be rare, not anymore00:16
nixonixthen if you dont get systemic infection, but only upper respiratory, you dont necessarily get other than some mucosal fast waning abs perhaps00:17

rpifansigh00:38
rpifanagainst my better judgement00:38
rpifani may need to get vaccinate almost immeidately00:38
rpifanwhich is the least worse vaccine00:38
rpifani only need one shot anyway00:38
lastshellhow old are you rpifan ?00:40
rpifan3400:40
rpifanive got lots of associated complications00:40
rpifanand reduced kidney function00:40
lastshelldamn00:41
rpifanand llong term illnesses00:41
rpifanand such00:41
lastshellI guess you need to talk to your general doctor00:41
rpifanbut theres some smart ppl in here00:41
rpifanthat look at the data constantly00:41
rpifanid rather trust them00:41
rpifanplus the opinion of the dr of course00:42
ublxwe don't know your complications, and are hardly qualified to integrate those concerns with drug/vaccine interaction concerns00:45
rpifanwell the dr mentioned the germans00:46
rpifanbut he is a german00:46
rpifanas he least worst one00:46

rpifanhmm00:46
rpifanof coures yo ucant give medical advice00:46
rpifanbut whats the data say in general00:46
nixonixwe can find you some studies, if you tell what kind info you are looking for. vaccines and suitability with serious allergies or something perhaps00:47
rpifanwell i suppose im more concered about long term damage to toher body parts00:48
nixonixwhat ive seen, there are very few people that cant or possibly shouldnt get mrna vax, very small minority. perhaps longer time spent on premises after the shot, just in case00:48
nixonixthe proplems are usually the other way, too weak immune response for some00:49
nixonix.title https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/how-dr-arwady-responds-to-those-worried-about-vaccines-long-term-side-effects/2520299/  here's the most important in that article on long term adverse effects00:49
Brainstormnixonix: From www.nbcchicago.com: How Dr. Arwady Responds to Those Worried About Long-Term Side Effects With Vaccines – NBC Chicago00:49
rpifanbut arent they all pro vaccines anyway00:51
rpifanno one really says there is a 10 percent chance of X00:51
rpifaneveryone just brushes everything off00:51
nixonixnot single confirmed deaths caused by these western approved mrna vaxes, excluding old and fragile (which usually cant be confirmed, if immune reaction by vax had some part in their death)00:52
LjLnixonix, tbf most MDs with a grain of salt know it's *even worse* if they give medical advice over the internet than if a random nerd does00:52
nixonixnot from myocarditis, not from allergic reaction. one suspected case recently in nz, but middle-aged woman, so not likely00:53
LjLbecause there isn't a 10% chance of X, for most X00:56
LjLof any consequence00:56
LjLand the things with consequence, the % is so low it's really hard to give a number00:56
LjLi would be happier if they had bigger X's but also protected from COVID, like, a lot better ;(00:57
rpifanunderstandable LjL00:59
rpifanbut u dont u think one vaccine may have slight differene then the other00:59
lastshelldoes novavax still in clinical trials ?01:00
LjLslight?01:00
LjLAZ has like tons of differences compared to mRNA vaccines01:00
LjLit works less, but it might work for longer, it has fewer side effects for older people on average, but more for younger people01:01
LjLit has the infamous though rare CVST issue, which the mRNA vaccine only have at a level below significance, while those have rare though less rare but also hopefully less severe most of the time cardiac issues01:01
LjLModerna appears more effective than Pfizer in current studies, though there could be hidden biases to that01:02
rpifani thought AZ was an mrna vaccine01:02
pwr22It is not01:02
LjLmRNA is involved, but that's not what it's called01:02
pwr22It's an adenovirus one01:02
specingmyocarditis is also more frequent in younger people01:02
specingfrom mRNA01:02
LjLyes01:02
rpifanwhats the difference then01:02
pwr22magic01:02
LjLthat an adenovirus is not a strand of RNA01:02
pwr22And chimpanzees01:03
LjLin an adenovirus-vector vaccine, you get injected some type of adenovirus that has been modified to 1) not replicate itself and 2) produce a SARS-COV-2-like spike protein in your cells01:03
specingin other words, genetic engineering :D01:04
lastshellI was going to joke about 5g :P01:04
rpifanso so AZ was the only one that was different?01:04
nixonixbritish waning results on az didnt look too good. although still missing info on smaller age groups, esp 70-79 vs severe01:05
lastshelljust personal datapoints I got pfizer (37) just arm pain 1 or 2 days, a cousing got AZ, 35 fiber and pain for couple of days01:06
nixonixjust get moderna. or if really young male terrible worried about mostly mild myocarditises, then pfizer that has smaller doses01:06
specingrpifan: moderna,biontech are mRNA;  AZ, J&J and sputnik are adenovirus vector; Sinopharm and Sinovac ones are deactivated covid01:06
rpifani really wante dteh deactive cvoid01:07
nixonixterribly01:07
specingrpifan: wheer are you?01:07
rpifanyea pfizer seems to be the least worse01:07
rpifanGermoney01:07
nixonixthose inactivated virus vaccines are weak, and likely more adverse effects because they have N and E proteins01:08
nixonixand adjuvant (which might mean better b-cell maturation, but depends on adjuvant)01:08
specingrpifan: you can go to serbia then, they are vaccinating foreigners01:08
rpifanyea01:08
rpifani was in serbia in fact01:08
specinghah01:08
rpifanbut idk if they will recognize that vaccine in DE01:09
lastshellis there covid passports in DE ?01:09
specingthey will, otherwise chinese business will be hampered01:09

rpifanyea01:09
rpifanthere is a covid passport thing01:09
LjL-Matrixlastshell: "COVID passports" (EU vaccine certificates) exist EU-wide, then not all countries enforce them for the same things, or even at all01:11
specingrpifan: so check your gov pages01:11
lastshellthanks LjL-Matrix for the novavax info and passports01:11
LjL-Matrixyeah, my IRC connection is gone because my internet is gone, but I thought I'd repost01:12
nixonixdid you make your internet mad01:13
rpifanyea we are using the eu vaccine cert01:13
rpifani dont think serbia is connected to that gateway01:13
LjL-MatrixMeh, they made me mad. I had a perfectly working 10Mbps fiber but since "upgrading" it to this 1Gbps micro-fiber that I can't even make full use of, I have lots more outages01:14
rpifani think the one last question really to make a decision for me01:14
rpifanis01:14
rpifanwill novavax be available in the EU before feb01:14
nixonixcopper fiber01:14
LjL-Matrixdoubtful01:14
LjL-Matrixnixonix: no it's actually all optical to the router, but it can still suck01:15
nixonixhere they call those fiber, that are actually not FBTH01:15
rpifanin theory ive got until february to get vaccine before it all starts again01:15
rpifanbut im being pushed hard to get vaxed asap and if novavax wont be here before feb then no poin in watign01:15
nixonix*FTTH01:15
rpifani miss lockdwon so much01:16
rpifanmy life was so much easier and better01:17

nixonixBrainstorm ask Hjelle what did he mean, because they havent released information on its efficacy vs delta01:23
LjLeh well, it was 60% on Beta, wasn't it01:24
LjLthe truth is the vaccine all kinda suck against Delta, but they still suck considerably less than no vaccine01:24
nixonixdelta is less immune evasive, in all but one study (which wasnt proper cell culture assay probably)01:25
nixonixand every approved vax is affected by beta by a lot01:26
rpifanactually iv got a question01:27
rpifanis there anyway to call the ppl who make novavax and ask them when they think theyll be on the market01:27
LjLthat's extremely unlikely01:28
LjLthis is market-sensitive info that they wouldn't just give away because you ask01:28
LjLassuming they even have it01:28
nixonixpublic. all the investors at the same time01:28
rpifandarn it01:28
rpifani really need this to make an informed decision01:29
LjLno, you really need to get a goddam vaccine that's available now01:29
lastshelllmao01:29
LjLand it's ridiculous you're still wasting time after even getting COVID01:29

rpifanAC made it worse01:42
JuerdI prefer to use paracetamol (aka acetaminophen, tylenol) to combat fevers01:43
rpifanyea but im really fever prone01:44
rpifanthe tylenol works but not the whole way01:44
JuerdCorrect01:44
rpifana lukewarm shower tends to push it down a lot more with tylenol of course01:44
Raf[m]You should use aspirin for covid though01:44
JuerdProbably good because otherwise you'd probably do normal things like go to stores etc01:44
rpifanif it were tylenol id be dead for sure01:44

TurboTechmany in my lab are out due to covid.  I guy I work with, his entire family had it and he never came down with it.20:34
TurboTechHe also did not isolate.20:34
nixonixmaybe he got asymptomatic infection20:35
TurboTechWe did multiple PCR tests on him.  All negative even at higher cycles.20:35
nixonixi guess not then, if the timing was right20:36
nixonixmaybe his innate immune reponse somehow beat it20:36
TurboTechBut it would still have had to get into his nasopharynx to stimulate the innate immune function.20:37
TurboTechNo one on my shift has gotten it.20:37

pwr22What's going on in Ottawa 😄20:56
MerlinMp[m]<TurboTech> "He is also the main phlebotomist..." <- Just curious if you know his blood group - some time ago there was discussion if theres any correlation20:58
nixonixtheres always been those family members who never got it, for whatever reason20:58
nixonixone might be, that they have had infection earlier, and had some kind of immunity. abs might have been below assay sensitivity, but maybe their cellular immunity was strong enough, with innate and those small amounts continually secreted abs, that they prevent reinfection21:02
nixoniximmunity works in mysterious ways21:02
TurboTechAs a blood banker I think that has just been coincidental.21:02
TurboTechI am B positive.  I should have picked it up.21:03
nixonixalso the above might explain those normal than higher levels of asymptomatic infections among close contacts. they had previous immunity21:03
TurboTechI know that we on the shift are all off sugar as much as possible and are all taking Antioxidants.21:04
TurboTechEven the fat people are not getting it.21:04

nixonix"On a more exploratory and preliminary way, the metabolism of the frontal cluster which included the olfactory gyrus was worse in the 7 patients treated by ACE drugs for high blood pressure, and better in the only 3 patients that had used nasal decongestant spray21:06
nixonixtheres something ive thought, when ACEis and ARBs might be beneficial against thromboses, they may make veins leak, which is bad21:07
nixonixso maybe virions have easier way to olfactory gyrus too, if ACEi is used. maybe also crossing the blood brain barrier21:09

BrainstormNew from FDA Press Releases: FDA: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: September 17, 2021 → https://is.gd/3vQaAL21:16
TurboTechThis is why I am thinking it is related to sugar induced Uric Acid that upregulates Reactive oxygen species in endothelium and also reprograms the monocyte on a path toward inflammation.  People with low vitamin D levels can not fight the NLRP3 inflammasome response which gives rise to Interlueken 1beta.21:17

TurboTechIn the study you posted they did not mention the uric acid.  Just that Covid effects the nlrp3 which in turn signals Caspace1 to produce IL1b21:34
TurboTechMy argument is we set our immune systems up by weakening it with our diets laden in sugar without antioxidents.  Covid just exploits the weakness and takes the long term problems and speeds them up immensly.21:35
TurboTechMedicine refuses to look at it and this is the reason why I think everyone on my shift did not come down with Covid.  We all lowered our sugar intake and increase our anti oxidants which lowers oxidative stress in endothelium and raises nitric oxide.  At the same time we give the monocyte the support it needs to provide better immune function.21:37
LjLpwr22, well i don't know what is going on, but do you know how the other studies were performed? one thing is waiting for vaccinated people to report an adverse effect, another is (like they did in this study) looking at every hospitalization that resulted in a (myo|peri)carditis diagnosis and then checking if they were vaccinated21:38
TurboTechI have not seen a diagnosis of myocarditis in my facility21:38
TurboTechNot that I am aware of.21:38
LjLTurboTech, if you're right about fructose, good thing my mom has just bought a slow juicer21:38
TurboTechCheck this out.21:41
TurboTech"The impact of elevated fructose exposure on the immune system has not been investigated extensively. Chronic fructose exposure in rats results in a more inflammatory phenotype of bone marrow mononuclear cells16. While there is some evidence that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human dendritic cells are able to produce enhanced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines when cultured in fructose as opposed to glucose, the underlying m21:41
TurboTechabolic rewiring that enables this pro-inflammatory phenotype has not been investigated17."21:41
TurboTechOk21:41
TurboTechNow lets go back to nix study.21:41
TurboTech"We observed that COVID-19 patients displayed a striking depletion of the patrolling CD14lowCD16+ 23 subset (Figure 1A-B) accompanied by enrichment of the CD14highCD16- 24 classical/inflammatory monocytes compared It is made available under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license . preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. medRxiv21:42

nixonixit had also about possibility of infected monocytes (which hasnt been proved, in "productive" way)21:43
TurboTechIn the nutshell it comes down to how the monocyte signals.  is it performing correctly or is it rewired21:45
TurboTechIf it can not get in the monocyte how does it exploit the NLRP3?  It has to be able to.  I agree with the study.21:46
TurboTechSo in my mind if we control the nlrp3 inflammasome which according to research we can with diet.  Then we might be able to win the war.21:47

TurboTechThank you for that study.  It provided a missing link.21:48
nixonixis it about the share of inflammatory monocytes, and oxidative stress or complement activation causes it?21:49
nixonix.title https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33788899/21:51
Brainstormnixonix: From pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov: Classical complement and inflammasome activation converge in CD14highCD16- monocytes in HIV associated TB-immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome - PubMed21:51
TurboTechWell if the monocytes are reprogrammed before covid can infect them and alredydisplay oxidative phenotype then covid probably increases the inflammasome.  If you understand what happens in the inflammasome it can only hold so much before it loses its covering.  When it explodes it sets off a cascade.21:52

nixonix"But presentations Friday generally showed the vaccine was still effective in protecting immunized people against severe illness, hospitalization and death in the U.S.21:58
nixonix"Separately, however, an analysis published Friday in CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report found that the Pfizer vaccine's protection against hospitalization with COVID-19 dropped from 91% during the 120 days after vaccination to 77% later than that21:58

nixonixand uk data, when theres ambiguity between PHE's age group denominators - and some tweeters that used ONS data, who knows whats the truth22:02
nixonixusing PHE's numbers the protection vs hospitalization looked to wane almost like in israel (funny if PHE wouldnt have got it right, imo), but with those tweeters using ONS numbers, 70-79 yo had VE vs hospitalization down to 86%22:03
nixonixin around 4.75 months i think22:04
nixonixwith 12 week interval22:04
nixonixpfizer. worse with AZ22:05
nixonixso FDA panel's decision seems politically motivated imo (other world needs to be vaxed first, despite waning protection in their country). especially when dismissing reduced transmission22:07
