CoVID-19
Just curious, and this info is probably out there, but thought I'd ask you anyways caus' I'm lazy that way! How long is the wait between doses? And when does "immunity" kick in?
Pfizer is 21 days between doses
Moderna is 28 days between doses
Infection incidence curves diverge at about 7 days after shot 1, with days 1-7 probably reflective in part of people who were already infected at the first shot!
Here's Pfizer:
they did an antibody test as part of your donation?
If I remember correctly there was about a 65% efficacy after 1 shot and 95% after the second.Pfizer is 21 days between doses
Moderna is 28 days between doses
Infection incidence curves diverge at about 7 days after shot 1, with days 1-7 probably reflective in part of people who were already infected at the first shot!
Here's Pfizer:
Obviously the risk to the individual is greatly reduced after the second shot, but could it not be considered better for the community at large to have twice the number of people walking around with a 65% effective vaccine?
Of course this assumes a long term supply shortage when it is rolled out the the general population. Makes sense to have high risk individuals under the emergency use clause go the full course.
Given the fact that other vacs are in the 60-70% effective range, seems to make some sense, to my uneducated brain anyway.
I'd also say perhaps the staff at old folks homes should get the full dose, but maybe not the residents. Call me an asshole if you want, but if you can cut off the most likely path for the virus to enter the old folks home, it seems wasteful to give the vaccine to Francine, the 97 year old in poor health, who's probably not going to be around much more than another 3-6 months anyway. Give that dose to a person who can't be so easily protected who is also likely to have a very bad outcome, and for whom a Covid death robs them of more than a few months of life. Or give it to somebody with a high probability to exposure/infection who may then expose a bunch of other people, like Target or Vons employees, firefighters etc.
Yes, to identify potential convalescent plasma donors.

I'm not sure if we have enough data re 1 shot regimes. Where did you read this 65% figure?
I am not sure if it is fully known whether a vaccinated person can be contagious. The vaccine isn't a force field that prevents it from infecting you, it pumps up your defense to handle the virus. It seems logical that it would certainly reduce the possibility of being contagious significantly.
That was from memory way back from the early trials. More recent reports point to 52%, which makes my scenario above less plausible.Yes, to identify potential convalescent plasma donors.

I have literally heard vegetarians proclaim how concerned there are with "what I put in my body" as they take a drag on a cigarette.
Just watched 12 Monkeys again with the wife. No matter how many times I see it, I will never get over what an astonishing movie it is. Absolutely brilliant.

Got the first of the Pfizer shots yesterday about 11a.m. Ran errands, finished clearing the drive of snow, ran around the neighborhood with the pooch.
Felt fine all day other than pain at the injection site. 4a.m. woke up sweaty with chills, no fever, arm really fucking sore and sinuses feeling really full of crud. All sort of dissipated over the next two hours. Now I just feel tired and wiped out. All stuff warned about as potential side effects.
Sitting around the house today. May try to get out on a bike or snowshoes tomorrow.

Isn't that normal? That means you immune system reacts strongly to it, which is a good thing. I usually take it easy for 1-2 days after a flu shot because I am tired and the muscle is sore.
Yes, absolutely. Very normal side effects for something like that. I usually don't get anything from the flu shot other than a sore arm but this is an entirely different beast.
Hell yes. just say no to getting an ETT in ICU
I was signed up within ten minutes of the email blast saying that they were opening up vaccinations for group 3 for shots today and tomorrow
Time to rename this thread to a "The great anti-death lottery of 20/21".
I hated the ETT. I'll say it again, if it's gonna be in ya for more than a few days, the trache-hole is a Cadillac upgrade.
That's just the microchip working it's way into the spinal fluid. It'll pass.
I don't flatter myself enough to think anyone would want to chip or track me.
But that was still funny.
It's mind control man. They don't need to track you when they are telling you where to go.
