Coronavirus

Hahahaha, needed that today HIC. But I am interested in hearing some excuse,,,, er explanation. Some of this stuff makes no sense to an aged microbiologist like me.

I'm wondering if dragging my feet for a booster that's got some variant protection along with it isn't worth doing. I want my immunity at its strongest when I'm entering basketball gyms starting in the middle of November.
 
Hell, just go get one every month since it's so effective. More must be better, right?

Or don't, I actually don't care what other people do. That doesn't mean I'm unhinged. It means I live my life daily not concerned with how the rest of the populous decides to live their lives.

Not a bad read. COVID Booster Shots: Everything You Need to Know

Why are booster shots necessary if the vaccines are working as well as scientists hoped?

I really want to drive home the point that might be missed in the conversation about boosters: these vaccines have not failed us yet, to our knowledge. Breakthrough infections are expected, no vaccine is 100 percent effective. What we know is, here in the state of Massachusetts, 0.002 percent of fully vaccinated individuals have experienced severe disease. And so that’s a really small number of people. We just want to make sure that in the talk about boosters, if people are saying, well why should I bother if fully vaccinated people already need a booster? But I want to be clear that waning immunity is not the same as saying these vaccines have failed, because in fact, we want to give vaccines to prevent severe disease and death, and that’s what they’re doing. They’re working. This is what you want to see.

But will you still have that opinion when they ask you to take the 184th booster shot in a few years?

I think that's the mantra of the ivermectin crowd who are so afraid of this "non lethal" virus that they're taking livestock meds from Tractor Supply and they're killing their stomach's natural flora in an effort to not take a FDA approved vaccine.

I never said it isn't lethal. It is, to maybe 1% of the population, not including car accident victims and the like.

Oooooooo, it's so scary!!!

Bubba Shame (tm) has become quite stylish these days. Now it's on to tractor supply products as if we all make haste to ingest them
 
That was an interesting article but contrary to what you might get out of it what I got was those immunocompromised were the ones needing the third shot or booster. The immune response was still good at 6 and 8 months in those infected and with 2 doses of vaccine.

“The data that I’ve seen, particularly for Pfizer, looked at antibody [levels] at six months after the second shot. They were declining at the six-month mark, but still seemed to be very good and elevated, and thought to still provide good protection against severe disease, hospitalization, and death.”
Said the same thing at 8 months and it was “speculated” by Fauci and others that the boost from the third shot may last for years. Just shows to me there is too much speculation to the whole thing.
 
I'd say anyone pushing this crap on people like me are the scared and unhinged people.

Live your damn life as you always have. Embrace land thievery, meth addiction, grass fires, corrupt football programs, and buffoon head coaches.

Come on Bubba that drug has been available for human use - not from TSC where I get it for my horses - for years. Good lord would you use the penicillin from TSC on yourself? Of course not.

A. I'm not saying it's not a med that humans should take. I think it could likely be helpful to treat covid and flu symptoms. It is stocked in pharmacies. I get that.
B. I'm saying it's a medication that I have many friends taking as a prophylactic that they get at the feed store or Tractor Supply or Orcheln's.
 
I hope (b) is an exaggeration. Only form of ivermectin I’m aware of at TSC is a paste and while they do advertise it as ‘Apple’ flavor in some brands, I cannot imagine licking the goo myself. Ugh

Not necessarily.

What is even more interesting is watching supposed medical people like you downplaying off-label use of medications, despite the fact that this occurs with a number of medications, to include the eugenics being conducted in the name of 'gender identity.'

I find this meme funny. Not taking a shot at you.

I could fill up with two hands people from eastern Oklahoma that I know who are taking ivermectin prophylacticly. Most of these are people that I've shared beer, whiskey, trash can punch, etc. with.
 
With what we know about the virus how come we have never pushed people to lose weight and get in shape during this pandemic? The left has found a need to go after the unvaccinated and calling them careless while overweight people are dying by the droves and the left says nothing.

Ha, good point. Stay inside and watch your fat *** get even fatter. We know why. Because it's all BS for most of the population.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Obesity alone almost triples the risk of death from Covid so it's a fact. I think we might have hit a nerve because Bubba might be overweight himself. If so he shouldn't be talking about the irresponsibility of others.

I’m no fitness instructor. But, I did fine with the rona. I think there’s a correlation but you act as if every Covid death is due to personal responsibility and that is inaccurate.
 
No World Series of Poker for me...I had avoided many of the events after they adopted the stupidity of the Big Blind Ante. But now they are requiring proof of vaccination prior to the first registration AND still requiring masks to be worn.

Irony is that they needed a huge turnout so they could offload the brand at a premium. That won't be happening now...

Idiots, the whole lot of them.

I never said or even implied such a thing. However, the correlation is there and the fact that nobody talks about it is mind blowing.
 
Have no idea if this is a real tweet but found it funny given the Ivermectin discussion.

As an aside, I have no issues with off-label drug usage. My issue is with consumers following crazy internet forum advice before effectiveness has even been confirmed.

We now have the Mississippi and Texas poison control organizations saying "please stop!" The FDA and CDC have come out and said "please stop" while they continue to study this. If you choose to take Ivermectin and experience side effects at this point then Darwin's law applies to you.
