Will you get vaccinated?

Sort of reminds you of another observant guy who said, "That's funny" when he saw a fungus growing on a culture dish he'd inoculated with staphylococci. Monday morning in September of 1928...

Probably half of us on this thread didn't die before the age of 25 because he didn't toss that contaminated culture in the trash :)

I went to a CVS in another city and assumed I would get Pfizer. I did not even ask. Got the first shot and my card which I promptly put in my wallet. The other day when I finally looked at my card, it says "Moderna."

I then did a search on CVS vaccines and most stores have Pfizer, Moderna and another one. So, my fault really for not inquiring when I went in for my first shot.

Some countries are mixing, Canada has been doing it on the regular. I did read though that Barbados isn't recognixing Mixing the two and anyone visiting will have to Quarantine for a period prior to entry. Probably not a good idea for worldly travellers to mix and match.

[QUOTE=eomrat;1642961743]When I hear someone say they are "pro-science", I instantly know that person cannot even define the word "science."[/QUOTE]

Did not expect that kind of response to what seemed like a pretty bland statement, I suppose it just shows how polarized things have become lately. To clarify my statement what I meant was that I believe that we should use data and evidence to drive decisions, but that the amount of evidence required to say anything definitively from a science perspective is a lot more that most lay folks realize. In the case of Los Angeles I think what's really going on is a combination "Let's be seen to be DOING SOMETHING regardless of effectiveness" and zero risk / infinite cost mentality "anything we can do to save even one life is worth it". At this point in the United States, if you're not vaccinated it's by choice and you take your chances. For the rest of society to impose mandatory restrictions to protect those who won't engage in self-care is pointless. Now, if we get something worse than the delta variant that has significant break-through potential it might be worth looking at re-imposing those kinds of measures, but we're not there yet. With Pfizer I've got about a 1in3 chance of getting sick from Delta and a 1in14 chance of being hospitalized from a population statistics perspective, that's a reasonable level of protection and doesn't warrant government over-reach.

Going by science and stats the people getting delta are not vaccinated.

Going by science the mask mandate didn’t stop the rising cases last summer.

With the above, lol at TryingBB, since he lol’ed at me for la county being stupid.

"We know that 99.5% of people who are in the hospital are people who are unvaccinated and people who are dying of COVID are unvaccinated," Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday as the country sees an uptick in coronavirus cases.

This is going to end well:




At the start of the pandemic, France had some of the highest levels of vaccine scepticism in the developed world.

In December 2020, a survey conducted by the Odoxa polling group and Le Figaro newspaper, showed that only 42 percent of the French population wanted to get vaccinated. By April of this year that had risen to 70 percent, while about 14 percent remain vehemently opposed to vaccines.

Violent protests breaking out in France:

Protests flared in France and Greece on Wednesday as residents angry over coronavirus curbs and vaccine mandates in both countries marched against new, stricter regulations that they say discriminate against people unwilling to be inoculated.

In Paris, demonstrators clashed with police after French President Emmanuel Macron announced sweeping measures to fight the pandemic earlier this week. He mandated vaccinations for all health-care workers and said new rules would require unvaccinated people to show negative coronavirus tests before entering bars, restaurants and other entertainment venues.

Also this week, Greek authorities said all medical workers would need to be immunized or face penalties, and only vaccinated individuals would be allowed to use public indoor spaces until Aug. 31, through the height of Greece’s tourism season. The policies prompted demonstrations in Athens, where thousands gathered outside parliament Wednesday under heavy police presence, Reuters reported.

You really don't know why everyone thinks you are a douchebag do you?


[QUOTE=JustTheDad;1642779173]Yes, I am a physician. Did they do a lumbar puncture and an EMG? Did he have plasmapheresis or receive immune globulins? Guillain-Barre doesn't resolve 100% in 30 hours. If you tell me he was worked up at an academic medical center where they found elevated protein in his CSF, did nerve conduction studies that were consistent with it, and ruled out toxins and other more likely etiologies, then I'll consider it to be unlikely, but not impossible. If they were certain it was GB and it resolved in 30 hours, it would be a write up in a medical journal. It's so far out of the normal course that I'd doubt it if one of my old neurology attendings put it down as the diagnosis. I'd also understand why it's a reasonable diagnosis to put down.

Guillain-Barre is a nice easy to remember name for acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. GB tells you nothing, but the descriptive name tells you what it actually does. Do you think myelin recovers in 30 hours? Most studies have shown it takes weeks, and that would be without an ongoing autoimmune reaction.

I suspect they didn't know the etiology and needed a diagnosis in order to get your dad's care covered. After recovery, there's no real concern about someone who has had GB getting something worse later in life. It's a safe diagnosis for him. No future stigma, bills get covered, paperwork gets done. Perfect for when you have to put something down for reimbursement.

[b]I'm not trying to be mean or belittle your story.[/b] Whatever your dad had, it sounds serious, very scary, and I'm glad he's OK, but based on your description, it was more likely a case of "we couldn't find anything else, so let's call it GB", than a true case of autoimmune mediated peripheral demyelination. The people getting GB due to COVID or a vaccine won't be recovering in 30 hours. They'll be miserable for a while, miss a lot of work, possibly have long term sequalae, and it's important to consider that when we discuss the risks from a vaccine or the risks from SARS CoV2.[/QUOTE]

It doesn't seem like you were trying to be mean. More like trying to be an ass.

Sorry Ben, but this is the same old half facts scare mongering again, what protection do you hope to get from vaccination... they aren't hugely effective at preventing people from becoming positive. But they are very effective when measured against, for example the risk of hospitalisation or death from the virus.

I was watching a show the other night about historical mass extinctions (very uplifting :p ) but this was primarily about volcanoes. I can’t remember where the one was, it wasn’t Yellowstone, this one was in the ocean and basically comes into existence and blows itself apart every 200k years. It was identified through chemistry as having been responsible for several mass extinction events, like hundreds of years of ice age, and is way overdue for another major eruption. Nothing you can do when the air, water, and climate are all fuked. Although masks might help for a bit to keep the glass / ash out of your lungs so you can make it to the starve to death part.

IIRC Flesh eating bacteria is usually a strain of streptococcus pyogenese or something like that, basically very closely related to the bacteria that can cause strep throat.

We have Canada geese over here. Several breeding pairs were brought to London and homed on the lake in St James Park in the very late 1600s. They spread out from there but were fairly minor birds until WW2 when they started to really spread across the country (following orders from Hitler?). Evil birds that profit from war.

They're supposed to be in Canada not in UK.

It doesn't seem like you were trying to be mean. More like trying to be an ass.

You wrote all this out just to show that Bosko was wrong about his Dad?

Why would that motivate you?[/QUOTE]

I don't really care about what his dad had. I typed it out so nobody would think GB isn't a very serious condition or that some people can get over it in a couple of days.

I put in the details on diagnostic testing and pathophysiology to show why some stranger on the internet could be so certain the diagnosis some guy's dad got from his actual doctor was wrong. Sorry if the tone came off as being an a$$hole. Appreciate the feedback and I'll try to watch that. (Also, I'm pretty sure I repped his post before replying and said why I replied. It's been a few days so not 100%sure)
