You definitely want to feel you’re immune system kicking in pretty hard for a day or two after the second shot, that response is a good thing. That’s what’s building your antibodies and burning the long term memory into your B and T cells. Similarly, if you had very little symptoms to a natural covid case you’ve built less immunity than someone with a more severe case. I get it though, people naturally turn away from pain and inconvenience. It’s like people who hit the gym for the first time and then feel sore the next day so they don’t go back. Uh, yeah, that’s your body repairing itself from the damage you did the day before and ultimately it will grow back stronger.

Really good article. The animations and high level detail of the spike proteins are fascinating. Also, this: The virus’s speedy entry using TMPRSS2 explains why the malaria drug chloroquine didn’t work in clinical trials as a COVID-19 treatment, despite early promising studies in the lab10. Those turned out to have used cells that rely exclusively on cathepsins for endosomal entry. “When the virus transmits and replicates in the human airway, it doesn’t use endosomes, so chloroquine, which is an endosomal disrupting drug, is not effective in real life,” says Barclay.

I think he’s lying.

I can tell Soul Asylum is pretty frustrated. What did they know and when did they know it??? We could build a factory And make misery We'll create the cure We made the disease

Fawk, that’s doing it right, seeing the hard rockers from Hanover right in Germany - well done!

Anybody ever see Scorpions live? They’re on my list of bands I need to see yet.

The Republicans had to use the courts to get rid of a 1945 legislation signed in by a Republican governor to try to stop a Democrat. A for effort!

So, no private sector experience….pass.

That says Lambda won’t be released until 2022 but it already exists. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/8039406002

One of the best Tucker videos I’ve seen

Okay, which one of you is “chesterwood”? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/politics/sarah-sanders-encourages-vaccinations-praises-trumps-operation-warp-speed-in-new-op-ed.amp

If there is gravity, then how were The Beach Boys able to defy it in Kokomo? When they talk about “get away from it all” are they really talking about getting away from the heliocentric model? Where did they really go aboard the Sloop John B? Is Sheriff John Stone really just a metaphor for the helio-nazis? Was Dennis Wilson killed for threatening to expose the truth? What about Wilson’s connection to Manson? Was Manson framed and made to appear crazy to prevent him from exposing the truth? Where is Kokomo anyway? There is still an ongoing debate as to this island’s true location - is that because it doesn’t appear on the globular model? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sun-sentinel.com/travel/fl-fea-florida-keys-kokomo-beach-boys-20190920-fjl2o4qmqfblrbh56zx2kglwfm-story.html%3FoutputType%3Damp

Those fully vaccinated with Pfizer are 88% protected against severe cases of the COVID-19 Delta variant — now the dominant coronavirus strain here in the US — according to one new study. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced this week that the Delta variant is responsible for 83.2% of new coronavirus infections. Just two weeks ago, that number was 51.7%. https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/07/23/pfizer-vax-is-88-effective-against-delta-variant-study/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxbusiness.com/markets/pfizer-vaccine-88-effective-against-delta-variant-study.amp

There’s a chance you’ll lose the ability to taste brisket, tbh.

The data don’t support the blanket assumption that a previous natural COVID infection will protect better than a vaccine. Lots of variables. How long ago was the natural infection? Studies have found natural immunity waning after 6 months. How severe was the natural infection? Studies have shown more severe infections to yield greater antibody production. Gender of the infected or vaccinated seems to play a role according to studies. Which vaccine is being compared against? Etc.

Looks like Steve Scalise is gonna give it a whirl: "Especially with the Delta variant becoming a lot more aggressive and seeing another spike, it was a good time to do it," Scalise told the paper. "When you talk to people who run hospitals, in New Orleans or other states, 90% of people in hospital with Delta variant have not been vaccinated. That's another signal the vaccine works." https://www.google.com/amp/s/people.com/politics/steve-scalise-republican-lawmaker-gets-covid-vaccine-months-waiting/%3Famp%3Dtrue

Vaccine manufacturers haven’t been liable since 1988.

Guns could probably be a decent analogy. People buy them for protection but it’s not 100% effective. That doesn’t dissuade people from buying them though.

It’s not perfect but it’s worth a shot.

Stop and reduce are two separately quantifiable benchmarks.

I think this is the big reason: “Another reason to consider a COVID-19 vaccine for your child is to protect the health of the broader community. Each child or adult infected with the coronavirus provides a chance for the virus to mutate and create a variant that might prove more dangerous or resistant to the available vaccines and therapies. Fewer overall infections among the population means less chance of dangerous coronavirus variants.” You think the Delta variant is crazy just wait till the Lambda variant fucks up your air-fuel ratio.

Fauci’s arrest is imminent!

The Delta variant seems like the one most people are going with these days. Personally, I’m gonna stick with the Boyesen variant. They’ll both effect the breathing a little. I had to re-jet but I think if you got the injection it’ll probably compensate for either just fine.
