The root cause is people not listening to sound rational advice from medical professionals. A doctor tells an overweight patient they need to lose weight by modifying their lifestyle and the defiant patient's reaction is something along the lines of, "Doctor's don't know everything." Likewise, a doctor tells the same patient to get vaccinated/boosted, and somehow I have a feeling their response won't be to run out and get vaccinated.
December 9, 20214 yr When this is over, can we all agree that any PR person that uses the phrase "out of an abundance of caution" gets thrown into a wood chipper feet first.

You need medical advice to know the importance of healthy eating and exercise? Then that person is already a lost cause and wants to be be spoon feed how to live.

Likewise you wouldn't think people need to be told to get vaccinated against a virus that has hospitalized millions and killed hundreds of thousands, and yet here we are.

It was an opportunity to tell people to start eating right and exercising. It was a great time to tell obese people that there are serious medical risks associated with their lifestyles. It was a time to focus on preventative healthcare, check people's vitamin d levels, and allow for the widespread use of ivermectin in society. Remember when you all hated Michelle Obama for making this exact same point? Good times.

Just the amount of fast food the average American intakes is evidence of that.

Not to excuse the ignorance of the average American or justify their poor lifestyles, but public health guidance specific to nutrition hasn't exactly been doing them any favors either. The food pyramid turned out to be garbage advice, or at best, easily misinterpreted by the unwashed masses. The Framingham heart study that gave birth to advice spawning knee jerk reactions that all fats are bad. Which had the unintended consequence of food processors and manufacturers replacing fats with sugar making a bad problem worse. But even without all that, there's still the issue that lazy morons will always be lazy morons no matter how hard we try to knock some F'ing sense into their thick skulls.

December 9, 20214 yr Boom! Coronavirus kills boners. Vaccines don't. Quote There's evidence that COVID infection does affect penile cells and cause erectile dysfunction Some research demonstrates a correlation between COVID-19 infection and erectile dysfunction in men. Jannini’s research was the first to show this connection; according to his latest study, which has been accepted for publication in the Sexual Medicine Reviews, the connection between ED and COVID is so strong that erectile dysfunction may indicate that a man has long-haul COVID. Other research by Eliyahu Kresch and his team at University of Miami has shown that COVID-19 remains detectable in penile tissue nine months after infection, and that some men’s post-virus ED has been so severe that they’ve sought out penile implants. Science wins. Listen to the PP doctors. Get vaxxed!

December 9, 20214 yr Latest headlines are saying omicron is 4x more transmissible than delta but that's a bit misleading. That's with the caveat that some level of prior immunity (both vaccine and naturally induced) helped to stunt delta's growth, but those levels of immunity aren't as effective against this new variant. In other words, it's NOT true that omicron has an R0 that's 4x as high, just that it has an Rt that's 4x as high. There was a tweet from Trevor Bedford I posted showing a chart of the relationship between R0 and immune escape ability as a continuum. This distinction is important because it might actually have a lower R0 than delta but just better at escaping immune responses, which if that's the case (big if) then you might not see omicron out compete delta globally as quickly, but rather more slowly (if at all) due to the huge disparities in levels of immunity from country to country. And then, of course, there's still the open question of how much immunity (if any) a patient recovered from an omicron infection may have against a delta infection.
December 9, 20214 yr Unsurprisingly the awful vaccine doesn't work even if you're boosted. Maybe the fourth or fifth shot will do the trick?
