sdfgsdfgright about covid being nasty*00:00
LjLsdfgsdfg, 31... reminds me, since it's the same age, of this news article i read among the many that get posted here. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/09/09/1035489298/tiktok-covid-vaccination-megan-blankenbiller-hospital this woman was 3100:01
sdfgsdfgshe looks overweight though00:01
LjLyes00:02
LjLyou're certainly welcome as far as i'm concerned to think you're well and fit enough that COVID won't be a problem for you, and unless/until your government makes the vaccine mandatory, you make your own risk analysis. however the story of "was fit and well and yet..." is kinda common, and even when people don't die, really that shouldn't be their only concern, because Long COVID is common (possibly up to 40% of symptomatic people), and there are indications that00:03
LjLthe virus may just stick around in the body for a much longer time than we think00:03
sdfgsdfgI wonder if Extra fat on your neck or chest or across your abdomen can make it difficult to breathe deeply and may produce hormones that affect your body's breathing patterns. You may also have a problem with the way your brain controls your breathing. Most people who have obesity hypoventilation syndrome also have sleep apnea.00:03
sdfgsdfgahh, I was typing, ignore the first 4 words00:04

nixonix"We found that COVID-19 patients exhibit dramatic increases in autoantibody reactivities compared to uninfected controls, with a high prevalence of autoantibodies against immunomodulatory proteins including cytokines, chemokines, complement components, and cell surface proteins00:04
nixonixso we can only wait, what kind of autoimmune diseases will follow the infection with sars200:05
sdfgsdfgso regardless of the vaccine, the infection itself affects immune system ??? what...00:06
LjLuh00:07
LjLany infection affects the immune system00:07
LjLthat's what the immune system is there *for*00:07
LjLof course we'd hope it's only affected insofar as it learns to defeat that infection, but things are often more complicated than that00:07

BrainstormLjL, from English Wikipedia: Original antigenic sin, also known as antigenic imprinting or the Hoskins effect, refers to the propensity of the body's immune system to preferentially utilize immunological memory based on a previous infection when a second slightly different version of that foreign pathogen (e.g. a virus or [... want %more?] → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_antigenic_sin00:07

nixonixfunny how much effort vaccine - hmm - hesitant people put in finding some risks in these approved vaccines (when its pretty much known already, billions vaccinated months ago), compared to the lack of their effort to find out the risks of sars2 infection00:22
nixonixalmost billions months ago. over 1.5B doses of mrna, and maybe close to billion doses of dna/mrna/vector vaccines like AZ and Sputnik, by now00:23

Raf[m]<Trippy72894> "if you are vaccinated, get delta..." <- Delta is not technically an escape variant14:06
Raf[m]The thing about Delta is that it's highly transmissible even if you're vaccinated, but not that's more severe or more likely to cause hospitalization in vaccinated14:07
trbpRaf[m]: i love statistics by the way we all rely on ;) it is nice for example that we here in germany have over 60 percent 1st vaccinated and also over 60 percent 2nd vaccinated.. this adds mathmatically to over 120%14:22
trbpstatistics and data bases are fine as long as those working with do really still know what they are about to do with it ;)14:23

aradeshi seriously doubt it would happen22:07
LjLaradesh, one tentative rationale was, when the hospital system is overwhelmed, there's already triage (and also things like that in Ohio now there is a universal DNR order for everyone). triage involves prioritizing patients with more chances to make it. one could argue the vaccinated ones have more chances to make it, so...22:07

specingnixonix: it's not nice, but doing something to your child without consulting the other parent(s) is a scumbag move as well23:09
nixonixwell, here we just take those childhood vaccinations too. if one parent says no, i think its for childs benefit to vax him/her despite of that23:10
specingYes, even if both parents say no. But it's important to hold dialogue before doing things23:10
IndoAnonFunny23:11
nixonixdoesnt happen here, if both say no. those norman childhood vaxes. but then lets say if we clearly had some super dangerous mers-like but sars2-transmissible virus around, permissions wouldnt be asked. so it depends23:12
nixonix*normal23:12
specingnixonix: I'm honestly surprised that vaccinations aren't mandatory, at least for those over 40 years old23:12
aradeshspecing: in your country?23:12
specingor maybe 5023:13
nixonixsome countries have i think23:13
specingaradesh: yes, superwised self-testing (another employee supervises)23:13
aradeshspecing: i mean not mandatory23:13
specingaradesh: it is "mandatory" if you don't want to pay 10 eur every two days for testing yourself23:13

nixonixmeaning some other vaccinations (mandatory - i think, in some countries. but maybe im wrong)23:14
IndoAnonnixonix: Maybe because it does prevent the vaccine recipient from being infected... but...23:15
nixonixnot one vaccine gives 100% protection. it varies, and all wane too23:15
nixonixsome faster, some slower23:15
IndoAnonAnd you know where it lies on the spectrum, right?23:16
nixonixtheres no good information on that yet. it looks like wanes pretty fast for infection, somewhat slower for severe symptoms, but disagreenment on rate of the latter (these western approved)23:17
nixonixafter 2nd. less is known after 3rd, but apparently somewhat better23:18
specingnixonix: we have mandatory vaccinations, I think23:19
specing(for childhood things)23:19
IndoAnonHere's quote from my other fren, whom somewhat have laggy immune response and active in FR bio research say, "so next week I have to do a shot of moderna; I can see the antibody argument but hmm;boosting with a non updated vax is... I dunno."23:21
nixonixhard to say how much it would improve the efficacy updating the spike to delta. and would there be some original antigenic sin effect, type of abs returning towards the original. or even improved breadth instead. somehow they just refuse to update it23:23
nixonixthem23:24
nixonixpfizer and moderna likely have some idea. i wonder if they have told FDA or CDC23:24
nixonixthose expert comments ive seen, are for updating the spike23:26

IndoAnonYeah, nixonix. I don't see any reason for them, including pfizer CEO, to take back their words. They're the one with sufficient manpower, equipment, and funding. It's rather a mystery why they haven't make a statement about this23:33
BrainstormNew from Reddit (test): Covid2019: New study finds Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine is most effective against hospitalizations → https://is.gd/Vb94Mk23:34
nixonixit may be close to 50-50 if the next dominant variant would be closer to 1.351 or not (the other alternative, just some further development of delta lineage). so if it would be a good idea to use 1.351 spike (SA variant) in updated vaccine23:34
nixonixask some immunologist's opinion in twitter23:35

IndoAnonAlso23:38
IndoAnonAnother malaysian friend create a chart from his country's dataset23:39
IndoAnonWhile 25% of corona death between the start of mass jab and 2 days ago are among those who have received it, 12.5% happened within 2 weeks after they receive a dose23:40
IndoAnonIt's a great argument to further downsize the jab center, to reduce potential cluster emerging from such activities23:43
nixonixtrue or not, the protection kicks in between 1 and 2 weeks after the 2nd. and those who died within 2 weeks after 2nd, usually got the infection around 3-4 weeks earlier than death23:43
nixonixwith mrna vaccines. not sure about titers with AZ (where most of protection comes from stronger 1st one), or those inactivated whole virus type vaccines etc23:44
IndoAnonConsidering variety of immune response and pre-asymptomatic period, it's difficult to say. However, the serological data indicate that the peak happened between 7 and 14 days post the 2nd23:47
nixonixnot recent information in wiki about vaxes used in malaysia. it used to be mostly AZ, but what is the current situation. anyways, just hearsay23:47
nixonixnah, misread the table. also lots of pizer and coronavac23:49
nixonixbut its old situation23:50

nixonixquoting the part they left out from finnish media, when they made article based on this CNC article (waning part): "Moderna and Pfizer's vaccines were found to have nearly the same efficacy against hospitalizations, but then it began to wane for the Pfizer vaccine, dropping from 91% in the first four months to 77% afterward23:53
