Covid 19

A study of almost 2,500 workers at a major Belgium hospital system found antibody levels among individuals who hadn’t been infected with the coronavirus before getting two doses of the Moderna vaccine averaged 2,881 units per milliliter, compared with 1,108 units/mL in an equivalent group who got two jabs of the Pfizer shot.

Federal officials have reauthorized Eli Lilly's antibody combo bamlanivimab and etesevimab in states where variants that can evade the drugs—including the gamma variant identified in Brazil and the delta-plus variant from India—make up less than 5% of cases.

 

Your sources are good here, Jesse. You’ve got a reputable Bloomberg article showing links to the original MedRXiv preprint claim, (unevaluated), and then another link to a published study in JAMA which seems to validate the claim in the preprint.

 

It was expected that various pharmaceutical companies would be developing their own treatments to compete with Regeneron and Sotrovimab. All of these treatments are not a substitute for the vaccine, and can only be used in patients who have been infected with Covid LESS THAN FIVE DAYS. Most unvaccinated, infected people wait more than five days to seek medical treatment, making these treatments ineffective.

 

All of today's posts can be summarized to state the obvious: the COVID vaccines are, and have been, the best way to prevent death and even hospitalization from the COVID variants were have been aware of through vaccine release, and up to this point. How is this controversial? What does highlighting a new variant of concern (of which we have all said, for months, including me prior to Delta's arrival in the US), for which it, and potential future variants may require augmented or different preventive measures, prove that the vaccine "doesn't work?"

1) The vaccine as it is today does work, and has worked.
2) Something like 3% of the WORLD is vaccinated.
3) These new variants are popping up in 3rd world countries with mass population and low access to the COVID vaccines - i.e. the ideal conditions for mutations that create more dangerous variants (of concern)
4) 65% of the US is vaccinated
5) When these new variants reach the US (Delta 2 months ago, future VoCs next) they will have 150 million opportunties to mutate further and kill people

There would be no significant variants mutating and arising now if the entire world population had been administered the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine by April of this year. 97% of the world's population is unvaccinated and you see what is happening. Knowing that, why does anyone in a civilized country who has full access to both the knowledge and the vaccine itself, for free, choose to remain unvaccinated?

The willful unvaxed are the ones creating the self-fulilling prophecy of uncontained spread and further perpetual mutations. The ones saying the vaccine doesnt work and who wont take it are the ones creating the very NEED for future types of treatments!

This is enough to drive a sane, thinking person INSANE!

 

What happens to your brain when disinformation (or any information) is deliberately created to elicit strong irrational, emotions:

 

ACW still the liar he’s always been. He has yet to control his ignorance and lies.

 

Straight from the hi-jacked amygdala himself. It’s all so “frightening”, it’s all so “scary”, but somehow infecting your own children is just “peachy” and totally “normal”!

 

Looks like Buzz didn't get laid again last night. Now he's dreaming that DWK is a man?

 

You 3 stooges Lawnloser, dwk, ACW make no sense whatsoever half the time, a good bit of what y’all spew is lies anyways. At least you 3 enjoy each other’s idiocy.

 

Says the Donuthole who never comments on the actual subject matter of ANY content whatsoever. Just another troll in the manufactured outrage market.

 

Yes, yes. When I hear the ones saying "you can't make me," I am basically hearing overgrown toddlers who tend to carry real-life toy guns and drive super-sized Tonka toy trucks running around in circles with their fingers in their ears, driving the adults in the room nuts. Maybe they need adult-force spankings and for the adults to take their toys away and put them in time out? Do I hear something BUZZing? Is it just me?

 

I believe you are hearing the specific local version No Seeum North Carolinus Ignoramus BUZZing around your head spreading its normal troll bait.

Cases of Mu COVID Variant That May Evade Vaccines Found in These States

The Mu COVID-19 variant, which some scientists worry may evade vaccines, has been detected in the vast majority of states in the United States

 

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/01/who-says-it-is-monitoring-a-new-covid-variant-called-mu.html

The World Health Organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant called “mu,” which the agency says has mutations that have the potential to evade immunity provided by a previous Covid-19 infection or vaccination.

Mu — also known by scientists as B.1.621 — was added to the WHO’s list of variants “of interest” on Aug. 30, the international health organization said in its weekly Covid epidemiological report published late Tuesday.
