Funny how that works: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02187-1 Yeah this is like deja vu from last november. I understand the hesitancy in some cases, and the thought that maybe it's overkill. We all use discretion when choosing which health advice to follow like what to eat and how much to exercise. I get it, we all wanna live stress-free lives at the of the day, and trying to be perfect and follow every guideline to the T can be challenging. But to act like the guideline is flat out wrong or has nefarious intent is where I take issue. Like I can understand if you were to say eating grilled chicken and broccoli and working out 4 days a week is a tough guideline to follow because of whatever you've got going on at work or at home, etc. But this isn't that. This is someone acting like eating chicken and broccoli isn't even healthy for you, and that the push to exercise is just a ploy by Big Fitness Gyms to line their pockets.

People just need to ask themselves these questions: 1. Are you a doctor and a specialist in viral epidemiology? 2. If no, do you have a doctor? 3. What does your doctor recommend? BECAUSE DO THAT.

Their solution is to refer you to another doctor. I see no problem with me or others wanting to see data and effectiveness the boosters have with the Delta Variant and why I didn't get my shot until May until a few months of initial data came out.

For COVID I'd be very concerned if my PCP didn't have a good handle on the latest.

This is fair. But you seemed to be veering into the direction of "the data we have is wrong or fabricated by Big Pharma" which is quite a bit different than simply wanting to wait for additional data to confirm what we already know so far.
August 23, 20215 yr Some studies show similar viral loads in fully vaccinated people and others show lower levels. Others show the loads being similar but only for a few days which seems like the most plausible explanation.

The other qualifier seems to be that many of the studies that show a similar viral load have focused almost exclusively on symptomatic patients. The UK study in the article I referenced included asymptomatic breakthrough infections.

Never stated that or went that way. I want data, that is all. I still think Big Pharma is horrible for this country especially on the mental health side but that is a different subject.

You kinda did though... 3 hours ago, DaEagles4Life said: I am vaccinated so try again. The question still remains why are they pushing a booster when we see the evidence the shot isn't that effective vs the Delta Variant. 14 hours ago, DaEagles4Life said: If it only lasts for 8 months this is a never ending cycle and only big pharma wins. 14 hours ago, DaEagles4Life said: The booster shots were never tested for the Delta Variant and we now know their protection works for 8 months or so. Do they really expect us to just vaccinate our way out of this. Push back is going to start getting stronger and stronger If you ask me, these aren't the words of someone who is waiting for more data. These are the words of someone whose mind is already made up. Someone merely waiting for more data wouldn't make objectively false statements like "the boosters were never tested for the delta variant" or make presumptive rhetorical remarks like "do they really expect us to just vaccinate our way out of this."
August 23, 20215 yr I have to be extremely careful about the medications I take because my BP is so sensitive to them. First I've ever heard of this. My cardiologist highly recommended getting vaccinated. This sounds like total BS. Shocking coming from KZ's twitter feed, I know.

My cardiologist highly recommended getting vaccinated. This sounds like total BS. Shocking coming from KZ's twitter feed, I know. It's no different than the myocarditis risk for Pfizer's vaccine. For whatever reason, the myocarditis cases were initially lower for Moderna, but now they're seeing the risk is roughly on par with Pfizer's or a bit higher. As always, the risk for myocarditis remains orders of magnitude higher for those who get covid.
August 23, 20215 yr But yeah, for those with issues, or probably good advice for anyone in general, is to avoid strenuous exercise for a week or so after getting the shot. Probably best to just take it easy during that time to err on the side of caution.
