So even a half dose of Moderna has more particles than a full dose of Pfizer. I am thinking it will take a higher dose of mRNA to create an immune response in an elderly population and/or with weakened immune systems. But higher dose comes with more risk of complications. The trick is to find the right does that will trigger a response but low enough so there are fewer complications.

I know of 2 people that are suffering with significant issues following Covid infection. And this doesn’t include my sister in law who couldn’t smell or taste anything for a year after she got it… One is a work acquaintance that is still struggling with brain fog more than a year after having Covid. The other is a very close friend. Strong republican supporter. Was against vaccines from day 1. Wore a mask, but begrudgingly, when she had to. Canceled play dates with our kids when we asked that everyone wear masks. Canceled plans to hang out with us when we asked that everyone wear masks during the height of new case rates. Anyway, she was hospitalized with Covid and ever since has had ongoing significant health issues including diabetes along with other symptoms that her doctors haven’t been able to identify/diagnose or understand. And yeah, that’s why I’ve never been too concerned with morbidity rates or case severity in children… From what I’ve been able to read the risk of long Covid does not seem to be tied to severity of illness and it is not known whether children are at same, higher, or reduced risk of long Covid following infection. The unknown potential long-term health risks are the reason I was a proponent for masking in schools and trying to take any possible safety measure longer than most other vocal people were.
May 12, 20223 yr It annoys me that PA is apparently switching to releasing weekly rather than daily numbers. I liked looking at the daily variance, and you could already look at the seven-day average to gauge the overall picture better. I guess they wanted to reduce to amount of revisions needed and give less fodder to the denialists, but meh

May 12, 20223 yr Hey guys - just wanted to share with everyone that I spent some time with my mom today who is fully recovered and back to her 90+ old self. Went on a Costco run and she wore me out. Appreciate all the well wishes and concern!

I know we go back and forth in here a lot, but it's all in good fun and it's genuinely depressing to hear about people losing loved ones to this F'ing disease.
May 13, 20223 yr Some of the medical community is wondering whether a mysterious outbreak of hepatitis in kids is associated with prior COVID infection. You know, normal flu stuff.

I wear a mask depending on the situation by making an individual risk assessment given "conditions on the ground," ya know, like a sensible person.

May 13, 20223 yr This is how many lives could have been saved with COVID vaccinations in each state https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/13/1098071284/this-is-how-many-lives-could-have-been-saved-with-covid-vaccinations-in-each-sta

Killing off your voters to own the libs!

I would think they were talking about general availability. It was very difficult to get vaccinated when Biden took office even if you were in the eligible group, the efforts the administration took through FEMA centers to get the vaccines actually out and available to the public in a meaningful way definitely took place under his watch.
