Assigning "embarrassing himself" to a person just doesn't work. It's like if I used this meme to depict myself teaching you how to meme: Again, funny, especially since it captures your body type perfectly, but ultimately does not make sense. Sounds like you're jealous of my meme, much like mikemack is jealous of you spending all your time embarrassing yourself. Also, 6' 200lbs, bro.

They keep expanding group 1-A when they don't have enough vaccine for people who have been in 1-A and in line for months. What a total cluster F. I think it's at least partially being done to placate the "OPEN THE SCHOOLS" crowd, because they can't reopen until teachers are vaccinated. But, now, of course, you have those same people ****ing that Wolf is a murderer because he's letting teachers jump ahead of seniors. It's a lose-lose prospect, but the overall rollout in PA has been abysmal.

March 4, 20214 yr Just now, Kz! said: In which leg? What's funny about you for some reason deciding that I'm fat is that the exact opposite has been the case most of my life. I was like a buck 50 for most of my 20's. If anything I was under weight. Now I'd say I'm the perfect weight (ok, well, I wouldn't say that but a lot of people are saying it). Obviously, I'm not posting pictures of myself here because we're not pen palls and I'm not willing to give you any spank bank material, so I guess you'll either have to take my word for it or just keep on imagining me as fat.

I won't hold out for a very long time, but they just moved us into 1A yesterday, so I'm gonna try for at least a little bit here. I haven't even been offered one of those crappy doses yet, so I'm technically ahead of the game. It just worked for my aunt and grandparents yesterday. They don't know yet, but the belief is that the non mRNA vaccines may in fact hold their efficacy longer. Just saying...

March 4, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, EaglesRocker97 said: Interesting. @we_gotta_believe, have you heard this? As far as I know, immunity durability isn't really a differentiating factor between the 3 approved vaccines we have to date. It's pretty difficult to predict that from what we know so far, but they can look at differences in serum antibody titers over time and try to extrapolate from there. Doing so is fraught with error though as our immune systems are insanely complex so trying to guess at something as multivariate as durability is naturally going to have flaws. Neutralizing antibodies might tend to wane in one type faster than another (I haven't heard this is the case so far) but even so, they are just one piece of the puzzle. T-cell response, memory b-cells, potential cross-reactivity, etc. What we do know with fairly high confidence is that vaccine immunity is more durable than natural immunity (roughly two-fold or so.) But as far as viral vectors being more durable than mRNA candidates, no I haven't heard that. Novavax's protein subunit candidate is supposed to elicit a more robust T-cell response, so there's a small chance that might translate into better durability, but way too early to tell in that case.

If there's one thing I know to be fact, aside from the brain damage you suffered in childhood, it's that only really fat, short dudes obsessively accuse others of being fat and short. As we've seen repeatedly over the last 4 years, projection is the most reliable of all trumpbot defense mechanisms.

March 4, 20214 yr I've been complaining about how news coverage of the vaccines has understated their effect and importance for what feels like forever now, but it's absolutely insane that we are more than two months into the rollout and we still don't hear about daily vaccinations juxtaposed with daily confirmed cases. To find out what the daily doses administered was at the state and national levels, I have to do quite a bit of digging or even go so far as to calculate myself based on the change in aggregate totals. It's beyond infuriating at this point. Seriously, wtf?

March 4, 20214 yr This week I have managed to get vaccination appointments for my mom, 2 of my aunts, my mom's cousin and her husband (who were like a 2nd set of parents to me growing up), my brother, and my wife. As of right now the only person at our Easter dinner that will not have had both vaccine doses will be me, the one that has made the appointments for every other person there... (Note that Easter dinner will most likely only be my wife, our kids, my brother and SIL (vaccinated due to being a nurse), my mom and me. Aunt and uncle may join us since everyone will be vaccinated but probably not)

March 5, 20214 yr OK, so this is pretty fascinating: According to a study 54% of Hyderabad's residents had antibodies, and of those, 75% had no idea they contracted the virus. Any explanation for this? Could it be that due to average living conditions in that city that they just have incredible immune systems that fought off the virus before making them sick? Is that feasible?
March 5, 20214 yr We're now up to 2M doses administered per day, on pace to hit 2.5M/day by mid March and possibly 3M/day by early April. At that rate, half of the population will have received at least one dose by May 31st. This ish is F'ing done, son.

Is that feasible? It's something that has been studied as all the doom and gloom proved wrong. There seem to be a few thoughts: - When they locked down, they locked down HARD. People getting beaten with canes for violating. - India's population is VERY young. Half the population is below 25, and less than 5% are over 65 - Indian citizens are exposed to much worse things given the lower sanitary standards, especially outside the city https://www.livemint.com/opinion/columns/the-curious-case-of-india-s-success-in-taming-covid19-11612711676750.html https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/16/india-sees-dramatic-fall-in-virus-cases-experts-stumped
