  1. I just had my flu vaccine, shingles vaccine, and Japanese encephalitis vaccine.

    Listen if I don't start developing some super powers soon I'm going to be pissed.

  2. #COVID cases continue to climb slowly in #NYC, now up to 36 per lakh per day. #COVID19 hospitalizations are at 1.9 per lakh, and deaths are steady at 24 in the past 30 days.

    Here's hoping this is the peak. If it is, I'm going to hold off for a few weeks to #GetBoosted. My doctor gave me the #flu shot today, but isn't doing COVID shots.

    #CovidIsNotOver so I #WearAMask in elevators, trains, planes and buses, and #MaskUp in doctors' offices, nursing homes, pharmacies and supermarkets!

  3. Everyone always asks me, "Laura, what's the best way to stay healthy without using medications?"

    My name isn't Laura.
    Get vaccinated, you fucking freaks.

  4. We're playing the "Is it covid?" game again..

    I spent time in a car with 7 other people on Monday when I dropped the car in to be serviced, and I was the only one masked (of course).

    I feel like shit now - headache, temperature, body aches, exhausted. The initial test is negative, so here's hoping it's a fibro flare up and nothing else.

    Greg arrives on the 8th for 3 weeks, so if I have covid I'm going to be pissed.. It took me almost 8 weeks to get over it when I got it in 2022, and I don't want to miss out in time with him.

  5. Raina McIntyre:
    Unicef estimates that in the absence of a vaccine, the world would have seen 5 million deaths due to smallpox every year in the mid-1990s. I am sure anti-vaccine groups would be raging against the statistic that smallpox vaccines, by achieving eradication, has prevented over 190 million deaths since 1980.

    Without vaccines, we would see a rise in vaccine-preventable diseases like measles, polio, meningitis and so on, and a rise in infant mortality as a result. Until about 20 years ago, infectious diseases were among the leading causes of death in the world. We may see previously rare infectious diseases climb again to become a top cause of death in the world. Covid and lower respiratory infections are already in the top 10.

  7. World may be ‘post-herd immunity’ to measles, top US scientist says

    As infections pummel communities in the US, Mexico and Canada, fear of ‘the most contagious human disease’ grows

    “We’re living in a post-herd-immunity world. I think the measles outbreak proves that,” said Dr Paul Offit, an expert on infectious disease and immunology and director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

    “Measles – because it is the most contagious of the vaccine-preventable diseases, the most contagious human disease really – it is the first to come back.”

  13. I don't understand the yellow biohazard baggies you get with a lot of covid tests, and the fact that you're then meant to just toss them in the bin...?

  14. A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.

    Intended “to better understand the short, medium and long-term impacts of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland,” the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Statewide Study boasted 10,000 adult participants across 86% of postcodes, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, generating over 100,000 biospecimens and 11 million data points.

    “It’s a terrible example of research wastage and loss of a globally significant opportunity to realise benefits and generate knowledge through research based on the unique samples provided by the 10,000 Queenslanders who gave consent and participated,” Professor Davies, who heads up the Allergy Research Group at QUT, told Canberra Daily.

  15. After 5 years of fighting to not get #COVID, wearing masks, not eating indoors, etc. I finally tested positive after my dad’s funeral.

    I’ve had every vaccine and booster and so far the symptoms are very mild. 72 hours after exposure:
    - Chills; but no fever.
    - Body aches
    - Slight soar throat
    - Little appetite

    Not a candidate for #Paxlovid even with #UC since I’m not on an immunotherapy.

    I’m hoping it passes quickly.

  16. Something I don't see a lot of discussion around is the rise in the need of organ transplants needed because of covid (almost 10% of lung transplants in the US are now needed due to covid)... but also the decrease in transplantable organs because of the damage done from people having covid.

  17. It always amuses me when I get into discussions with Australian men about vaccination, and they accuse me of mindlessly following the government.

    1. Bestie, I was an insurrectionalist illegalist anarchist before you were even a zygote.

    2. My friend, the government doesn't want you to be covid careful. YOU are the one doing what they want.

    Step away from your Ned Kelly profile pic, go sit on the naughty step and have a think about how silly you look right now.

  18. People talking about the person who died from H5N1 in Louisiana - "yeah, but they had underlying health conditions", like y'all haven't just gone through a mass disabling event and caught covid a dozen times in the last 4 years.

    Do you know who also has "underlying health conditions", Deborah?? Do you???

  19. I just got back from having my latest covid booster (6th booster) and was chatting to the nurse who administered it. I asked of they were getting many people having their boosters, and she said that the oldies were good at getting them* but it seems like younger people just aren't interested anymore.

    Even if they believe covid exists and that vaccination is good and helpful, they believe covid is pmuch over and it's not worth getting boosters because if they catch it they "don't get that sick anyways".

    She also said "we're all pretty sure they're all going to just end up having heart attacks."

  20. #COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths continued to decline slowly in #NYC over the past few weeks, with no sign of a fall/winter wave yet.

    #COVIDIsNotOver and RSV is on the rise (see my previous post), so I #WearAMask in trains, elevators, doctors' offices, pharmacies and supermarkets! #GetBoosted if you haven't already...

  21. Got my winter flu vaccine and Covid booster from my local pharmacist today. €25 for the flu jab and the Covid one was free. Bargain. No side effects (yet) but last year I remember being a bit under the weather the following day, so prepared for a day on the sofa if necessary.

    Be careful out there folks and protect yourself.

  22. Got my flu & Covid vaccines on Monday.

    Tuesday, I was tirrrred. Went to bed early last night.

    Today, I feel like a new man.

    So much better than actually having contracted either virus. Let's go!

    #CovidIsNotOver #GetBoosted

  23. So relieved to see NYC #COVID rates keep dropping! If the #COVID19 hospitalization count as of October 1 (18 citywide) isn't revised upwards it will be the lowest since March 2020! We may have to start measuring deaths per week instead of per day. And no sign of a fall wave in case or wastewater data!

    But 18 !=0, #CovidIsNotOver and everyone is expecting a winter wave.

    I got my #novavax on Friday, and still #WearAMask in confined spaces and where there are vulnerable people!

    #GetBoosted

  24. Update, almost 24 hours later: so far the side effects of the #Novavax #FluShot2024 combo haven't been as big a challenge as Pfizer in 2021-2023. No fever, and I've been able to get through most of my morning routine.

    But they're a lot more than I remember feeling after a single flu shot! Mild aches all over, some soreness in my arms, and enough fatigue that I haven't tried to leave the house or do anything strenuous.

    Looking forward to getting past this!

    #GetBoosted #CovidIsNotOver #covid

  25. #Novavax in the left arm, #FluShot2024 in the right! The pharmacist said that the side effects for Novavax are comparable to the flu vaccine...

    #GetBoosted #WearAMask #CovidIsNotOver #covid #COVID19

  26. NYC #COVID numbers are going down again! We're down below 2 people hospitalized for #COVID per lakh residents per day, which is where we were at the beginning of June. Still around 1-2 people dying per day.

    It might be a good idea to fly somewhere before the winter wave. I'm definitely going to get some karaoke in!

    #CovidIsNotOver so I'll #GetBoosted soon, and continue to #WearAMask in confined spaces like trains and elevators, and wherever there are vulnerable people, like doctors' offices!

  27. The latest NYC #COVID numbers are a bit reassuring: not going down as fast as they did in August, but they do seem to be continuing to drop, and there's no sign of a new wave!

    I got a haircut yesterday and will probably do some karaoke and take short trips. Hopefully this trough will last through the live karaoke I'm planning to sing at on Oct. 28!

    Of course #CovidIsNotOver so I'll #GetBoosted in the next few weeks, and #WearAMask in confined spaces and wherever there are vulnerable people!

  28. More reprehensible, dangerous disinformation from the MAGA ☠️ cult. Subject matter experts & those in positions of trust & authority need to speak out & stand up to these vile bullies!
    "’What you see is a pattern of fear & neglect of professional responsibilities across the state, in part because of the fear of this governor & the vindictiveness of this governor," said Goldhagen, a former health department director in Jacksonville.”

    I wonder what it's going to take for our government and our society to do something.

    Spouse got boosted yesterday. Doc says I can get it as soon as I feel better. So I'm hoping for Friday, for me and 11yo both. 🤞
