CDC backs the rollout of COVID vaccine boosters from Moderna and J&J

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky also endorsed a mix-and-match approach to boosters that would be flexible for patients and health care providers.

Boosters and mixing and matching. Essentially if you've had Moderna you're good. Pfizer is good too. But if you had J&J you should consider boosting with an mRNA vaccine and that applies to any age, 2 months post their J&J.

What if it were in reverse?
Moderna then J&J?

Mamashark couldn't get her 2nd Moderna. She finally got her J&J 2 days ago

Her job could be done by software and probably should be these days.

maybe...but software can be hacked and manipulated, and it's only as good as the person who writes it to begin with. it was pretty easy for trumptards to fool facebooks algorithms, and the automated "security" on a lot of websites has proven to be all but useless...
but it would spare them from the personal attacks and threats by fucknut assholes...although, i'll be honest with you, i'd like there to be "internet police" who go to the homes of people who make online threats and smack the fucking shit out of them, in public, while announcing why they're doing it...know that will never happen, but it's less than they deserve...they deserve someone to kick the fuck out of them, just like they threatened to do.

You and I have not kept up on the AI Algorithms. My son caught me up at Disneyland this year. We had a long talk about just what those algorithms do and can do. The reason the Trumptards can "fool them" is because it's financially beneficial to promote aggression and tribalism. If that were not in their financial interest it would not happen. Those algorithms are unhackable. The algorithms and the math behind them are terrifyingly accurate, robust and malleable.

In Facebook's case they work off aggression which breeds engagement (clicks and eyes on platform). Aggression is our strongest impulse and mints money for FB. Just as you demonstrated when you said, "although, i'll be honest with you, i'd like there to be "internet police" who go to the homes of people who make online threats and smack the fucking shit out of them".

That's what our parents worked so hard to civilize out of us feral humans.

i like being feral, no one makes me wear a goofy looking sweater
TINY_WOLF_Red_Leopard_Print_Dog_Sweater_1024x1024.jpg
i've never been tamed, it's just the last 10-12 years that i've really put any effort at all into being "nice"...if someone was boring me, i'd just get up and walk away...if they were annoying me, they were on a count down to getting punched in the head...now i at least try to act like im a little interested in their inane bullshit, and i get up and walk away from the annoying people...usually.
the internet police idea is stupid, and we both know it...but it is no less than most of them deserve, a good, painful, embarrassing public humiliation...that taught me a lot more as a kid than any explanations...i was a kid, i didn't listen, and when i did i thought they were stupid, but when i got the shit swatted out of me in front of witnesses, at the very least, i made sure not to do the same thing in front of my parents

The real concession is access to vagina, it makes all other concessions possible ;)

yeah, but you know...i kind of like most of the domestication process...it's just when i get pissed and she tells me to calm down that i get a little surly..."the fuck you mean calm down? didn't you just hear that shit?"...."yes (in a calm voice) i heard it, but you're better than that, you don't need to respond to that.".........how do you argue with that? you don't...most of the time you give in to keep the peace, occasionally you still raise a knot or two on someones head...and deal with the disappointed looks for a few days. oddly enough, it seems like the afore mentioned access becomes a little more...savage...after such incidents

It’s a “significant and solemn day” in the B.C. healthcare sector, as thousands of workers are placed on unpaid leave for refusing to get vaccinated.

Tuesday also marks the day that employees of care homes who refused the vaccine will be formally terminated in the wake of a similar mandate in that field that went into effect Oct. 12. Unvaccinated healthcare workers will meet the same fate on Nov. 15.

“This is a necessary step, but a solemn day,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix on Tuesday. “It has implications for those people and their families and for patients and their families.”

i don't have much sympathy, these are educated people who should know better than this, and they should have gotten vaccinated a long time ago, with the work they do...the only people i feel sorry for are the patients who will have to wait longer, and the healthcare professionals who will have to shoulder the load their irresponsible colleagues are dropping on them

IMO any healthcare professional that refuses vaccination should be referred to their professional licensing agency. If you don't believe in one of the basic scientific premises of your profession why should you carry a license? There are real reasons for not being vaccinated. But if you aren't you should not be in the direct patient care workforce currently.

I'm looking at the new cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs Surgeon General they dug up for Florida :roll:
