Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 appear to escape antibody responses among both people who had previous Covid-19 infection and those who have been fully vaccinated and boosted, according to new data from researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, of Harvard Medical School.

Get a home covid test kit, I've got a couple just in case. They have antiviral meds if you have health issues.

Negative, something else then.

Maybe not. Just read the test is not great against Omicron, will replete tomorrow.

In the last week or two I have seen it really drop off. The drug store even had the pharmacist without one and one of them faking it with the surgical mask over his mouth but below the nose.

Vermont—the most vaccinated state in the US—now has 12/14 counties in the “high community level” and its hospital admissions are approaching its Omicron peak.

no Covid in northern vermont…guess the people in the country arnt sucking on each others toes spreading it!

Meningitis in Florida, Polio in UK, Cholera in Spain, it's only the beginning, fungal infections are rising fast also. The world is full of people with damaged immune systems from covid.

I will be so mad if food just tastes bland forever. My taste buds will be trapped in Iowa.

The CDC says that more than 40% of the US population has had covid and that 19% of those people have long covid. They break it down to say that 7.5% of all adults in the US have long covid symptoms. Studies have come out saying children are also suffering from long covid too and 7.5% of the total population is about 25,000,000. I think the numbers are higher.

Went to my counties health dept today for my second booster, I was the only one there. They said that they stopped offering the J&J vaccine because of blood clot concerns so it was Pfizer or Moderna, I got the Pfizer booster. The nurse that gave me the injection was chatty and mentioned that she had heard that there was talk of the next booster this fall might be combined with a flu vaccine as a two in one shot.

My boss was back at work yesterday. She had a pretty rough time of it. At least at times. She's 65 without any jabs.

Anthony Fauci says that he's experienced a rebound in Covid symptoms after taking a course of Pfizer Inc.'s antiviral Paxlovid. The NIAID director, speaking at FP Global Health, says he's currently on his second course of the treatment. He tested + then - and then + again.

Wanna know who spreads and supports antivaxxer bullshit? Yep everybody's favorite psychopath and human social relations retard, Ted. How many kids will Ted kill with his latest stunt, anything to stir up the base and distract from his treason to the constitution, on which he is an expert. How funny is something if it is lethal to children?

Ted Cruz Feuds With Elmo Over PSA For Toddler Covid Vaccines
2,197 views Jul 1, 2022 Dr. Kavita Patel joins Andrea Mitchell to share data and emphasize the need for children under five to be vaccinated against Covid-19, after Senator Ted Cruz took to Twitter criticizing a Sesame Street PSA in which Elmo, who has been three and a half years-old since 1984, got his first Covid shot. “We've had over 400 deaths in the under five age group eligible for a vaccine, and it's one of the top 10 leading causes of death in that age group,” says Patel. “The facts do support not only a vaccine but having your children protected no matter whether they were previously infected or not infected.”

Republicans love getting in fights with puppets. Remember when trump got all pissy and went after big bird.

Trump is a massive bitch and so are his voters.

The B4/5 wave is picking up steam but a even nastier variant has emerged it's being referred to as B.2.75, things are not getting better.

This is very early data that I hope is off but relative transmissibility of BA.2.75 vs BA.5 is, rather unbelievably, still rising as data arrives at 998%.
