LjLde-facto, how confidential is it :P02:43
de-factothe link is shared all over the internet02:48
LjLi'm just kidding, i don't even know, just because it literally says "Confidential" in Brainstorm's title02:49
LjLi think it's safe to say that if CDC did mean it as confidential, we have now 2 examples (100% of my chosen sample) of them not being very good at it02:50

-RSSBot[LjLmatrix- Zotero / COVID links Group / Top-Level Items: Efficacy & Safety of BNT162b2 booster - C4591031 2 month interim analysis ( https://www.zotero.org/groups/covid_links/items/U97AEUYN )02:56
LjL:(02:56
LjLa few Lombard patients were treated in German ICUs, although honestly i have no idea where02:57
de-factoThe study data from Pfizer presented to CDC shows that boosting 18-55 year old people with 30µg BNT162b2 10-12 months after completing primary vaccination series begins to become effective already 7 days after injection with an acceptable side effects profile and shows a vaccine efficacy (against placebo in vaccinated) of ~95%02:57
LjLthat 95% figure had been circulating for a while already, although i'm not sure which study it was, whether the same or not - just saw it on twitter02:58
joergis there data for 4m2w after 2nd shot?02:58
joergfor >60 with medical conditions02:58
LjLjoerg, in this study, only very very few patients were <6 months since the second dose02:59
LjL<6 Months 14 (0.3) 6 (0.1)02:59
LjLi think we can't base anything on that02:59
joergwell, I guess it won't hurt me to get my booster next week02:59
LjLbut uh i would get it if i were >60 with medical conditions, especially if no adverse effects after the second dose03:00
LjLand by "i would get it" i mean *i* would get it and i am not advising03:00
joergwell, the ususal aka shaking, freezing for a 12h03:00
LjLalthough when i look at the side effect numbers i always feel a little anxious, but it's probably my half-empty-glass nature03:00
LjLwell, that's more than my "absolutely nothing whatsoever"03:01
LjLbut joerg remember those data that say they could make out basically *zero* protection after 6 months03:01
LjLso that's why personally i'd get it before 6 months if possible at all03:01
joergI just wonder if that's now a good sign, a bad one, or means nothing at all03:01
joergand since I plan to flee from Bavaria rather soonish, I can't wait with booster until 5 or even 6 months after 2nd shot03:03
joergsince then I'm not here03:03
LjLwell i hope the booster gives enough antibodies that it won't take just another 6 months to be back on square one03:05
LjLbut i don't know03:05
LjLjoerg, can't you get your booster in another state?03:05

de-facto10-12 months is the timeframe of the CDC presentation i liked above03:17

LjLmy fear for italy is that other countries will have a "christmas lockdown" like basically already announced, because they're having a spike04:17
LjLbut in italy, they're still kinda saying we aren't having a spike (we are, we're just late)04:17
LjLand i dunno what will happen around christmas holidays04:18
joergI heard italy is doing rather fine right now, but of course also in italy R_t will jump up a maybe 0.5 seasonal / winter04:19
joergso depending on how fine you actually do and how much you take care to adjust to "winter mode", you may or may not get away without any severe effects04:21
joergone thing's for sure: your politicians are smarter than ours, at least the two guys relevant for managing covid04:22
LjLitaly is not doing fine though04:22
LjLwe have a much much lower case count than germany04:23
LjLbut we have pretty much the same Rt04:23
joerg:nod:04:23
joergI hope those "smarter guys" of yours actually act smart and swift, unlike ours did04:24
LjLthey usually don't04:24
de-factowell you could have a real advantage if your countries management uses the time advantage it got now from observing what happens in other EU countries04:30
de-factoGermany will struggle badly this winter, also because of government change and many mistakes not being learned from (e.g. ignoring those scientists that proved to contribute accurate predictions in the past=04:32
BrainstormUpdates for United Kingdom: +44826 cases (now 9.8 million) since 23 hours ago — Netherlands: +21083 cases (now 2.4 million) since 23 hours ago04:33
LjLde-facto, except that the one thing i've clearly learned from this pandemic is that governments do NOT use the time advantage given by observing what happens in nearby countries04:35
LjLi honestly find it hilarious you even still think it's a real possibility04:35
de-factowell it is the *only* way to control incidence, to act proactively04:36
de-factomaybe in a few years governments will start to realize that04:36
de-factobut yeah unfortunately i have to agree, it does not look like governments would learn from the past04:37
de-factothe problem with acting proactively is that if it succeeds people will blame the government to have done too much04:38
de-factothere is no glory in prevention04:38

ArsaneritIs it right to make vaccinations mandatory for all eligible people, such as Austria has announced?19:08
gustikno19:11
gustikover past 2 years ppl were promised by the politicians in office that there will be no vaccine mandate under any circumstances and everyone who tells them so is a conspiracy theorist19:12
Tha_14No, It would only be right if the mortality rate was a lot higher than what it currently is in my opinion19:12
gustikyes. that too, but one has to see the political ramifications of this19:12
Tha_14True19:13
gustiknow every "conspiracy theorist" (me included) can freely say -> I TOLD YOU SO19:13
ArsaneritI'm not sure who actually promised that there would never be mandatory vaccinations for anybody.19:13
Arsaneritbbl19:14
gustikIn Germany for example the health minister19:14
Dredd<Arsanerit> "got his second dose of Comirnaty..." <- 3rd booster thing19:14
gustikand it was once again reinforced also by the new government in Germany that they will NOT pursue the same way as Austria did19:14
Dredd<de-facto> "good timing btw :P" <- I went to a walk in place. If I booked the proper way I'd be waiting for at least 3 weeks and have to go somewhere way less convenient19:16
gustikand who thinks that Austria is only doing this because of COVID19 is also missing the point. In Austria the former chancellor has lost his immunity and he may be now criminally prosecuted, so this all talk about vaccination mandates may be a way to distract ppl from political problems inside of Austria19:16
gustiklet's not forget that there is no concrete plan on paper how Austria plans to implement this mandates ... it may also be that it will not come ... as of today it's only talk, no law was passed yet19:17
gustikand those who will not take the vaccine will be fined ... but no idea how much the fine should be... in case it's like 60 EUR or so, many will rather pay the fine, if it's 5000 EUR many would be forced into it economically, but then it could end up in constitutional court19:19
Dredd<Arsanerit> "Is it right to make vaccinations..." <- I don't think so but I do think it's fair that if people choose not to get vaccinated that they are the ones who have to lose out on stuff / be more restricted19:24
Dredd<Arsanerit> "I'm not sure who actually..." <- It certainly wasn't promised where I am19:26
gustikwhat's where?19:26
DreddUk19:27
gustikah, UK has no such problems19:27
DreddUntil recently it hasn't even been mandatory for frontline health workers lol19:27
