We need to figure out our timing. Earliest we will go is late Oct. I'm thinking probably Nov ie. give it 4 months from when I was sickest with COVID, similar to last year when I waited 4 months between vaccines. That should keep me eligible for a spring dose if that opens up again. Chemguy might wait until Dec, he will probably get flu vaccine earlier and avoid being sore from both at the same time.
 
It is probably no surprise to hear that the developers of mRNA technique used to create both the Moderna and Pfizer-BionTech vaccines won the Nobel for physiology and medicine this year. Full details in the article below. They met at a photocopier of all places while copying papers for their research. One of them, Katalin Kariko, was a senior VP at BioNTech until last year as well as a professor at Szeged University in her native Hungary and the University of Pennsylvania. Drew Weismann, the other, is currently a professor at the Perelman School of Medicine, also at University of Pennsylvania.


Cute trivia I saw in another article: Kariko's daughter Susan Francia won two Olympic gold medals in rowing.
 
I booked for a month from now. Still not settled on the timing, but I figure oh well, will get someone down now and if I decide to go with a different schedule I can change it.
 
Lots of cancelled appointments - pharmacies got less than expected. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the UCP and not paying attention to the numbers, or if we got a smaller shipment from the federal supply than expected. Chemguy still hasn't booked, he's been busy and maybe best to just wait a bit. Hopefully come November the supply:demand will be a bit higher.
 
Oh and Congratulations to Drs Kariko and Weissman for winning the Coveted Nobel

For learning how to lie to our immune systems so that software can program our various cells to produce certain products

An amazing technology indeed
 
Chemguy is planning on going tomorrow.
My mom did end up getting the updated one as well - she had been leaning towards no, or at least waiting a full year post infection.
 
I put mine off. They don't recommend getting vaccines too close to surgery in case you get a fever or other side effects and my hernia repair got booked on short notice before I could get my shots. Probably do it in the next week or two depending on recovery pace. We're cruising in January so want our shots up-to-date.

Strange

Maybe most people just aren't as concerned anymore?

After the blast that was the Pandemic...

I remember during a CBC interview with Bonnie Henry I got a factoid that the majority of BCers aren't up to date on boosters and Bonnie Henry really, um, to me acted like a politiican "circle around to that" kinda thang?

I still like her euphanism fpr thr shots she said "Updates" lol

They are thinking demand is actually higher than expected, and orders aren't actually being filled.

Just think of how quickly people have forgotten the dreaded statistics about what COVID can accomplish ... forgive an forget is a rule in some places so that folx can be stunned, etc.

Imagine the howl rising in death vale ... especially over the statistical Eire ... god we hate info and data ... it smarts! Cuts like a knife ... sometimes good for repairing tho' ... thus some repair and get out ... repairing reapers? The seed is slashed ...

Who knows? Without knowing why, all we can do is speculate?

We can try on different reasons and see what happens? We don't have to stick in one all the time? :3 Embrace Indeterminancy.

I see human beings as very adaptable
(that is why horror fiction series stop working for me, because eventually horror stops being horror...). Looking at actual accounts of people involved in the Blitz and during the Balkan crisis; amongst all that horror, people still go to church, school, drink wine...

Similar to Ukraine conflict. I have 2nd hand accounts thru a friend who is in actual contact with actual people there and life is going on there. Normal everyday life is also happening

I blame Hollywood and certain other actors for promoting the AIIIEEEE PANIC WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!! meme

The pandemic is over. It is endemic. The fearmongering that certain entities encouraged doesn't work anymore. Chop wood. Carry water. Be safe. Follow your risk profile. Form MutualAid Networks. Try to ignore our Fascist Fed gov't. There are more important things than those fools.

Like you and your loved ones

lol speak for yourself, Dude!
cheer up!
you will be in Heaven before you know it :3
 
Ah ... but many of the demons I grew up with in religious settings declared that learning was hell for them ... and thus much chaos over heaven and hell overlapping ... that' SUR!

And we're onto the path O' logical ... Zero Integral as a Sum ... just doesn't add up ... if you take my POV! But that's from the fringe ... outlier ... exception to the paradigm curve ... a bell form ... dead ringer!

No RSV? Or is that Dec?

Hopefully arms aren't too sore and you feel fairly well.
Chemguy got his 2 today. I asked him which COVID shot he got - zero clue (or well 50/50).
