They have too much at stake to bullshit now.
Jesus brother stay safeā¦
Yeah ā¦ I been following shit out your way for awhile. Whole lot of cringe coming from your governor. Obviously as captain of the ship shes willing to go down with the ship. But fuck the passages shes not lower in life rafts. Not if changing her stance might impact her political aspirations. At least the governor in North Dakota seemed to change his tune when the shit hit the fan.

So 40% with the side effect of developing multiple sclerosis? I think Iād rather catch covid lol
That was just an off the top of my head āhorrible things that happenā type of thing.
Not an actual or known (by me, anyways) side effect.

I figured you were kidding as MS isnāt a side effect known to develop from vaccinations
A few cases of CIDP however have been connected to vaccinations. Super rare though, itās plausible the correlations are casual in nature.
Yeah, but when you get the immune system involved, nothing is off the table.
āThis protien looks a lot like that one. SHUT THE TRACHEA!ā

Before going on a year-long work posting in Eastern Africa, I received vaccinations against a plethora of endemic diseases - cholera, yellow fever and so on.
I was totally exhausted and barely managed to drive home, developed a fever and called the doc who explained that no, I wasnāt having an allergic reaction to the vaccine, and that my side effects are ānot unusualā.
Made me wonder how the fuck does actual cholera feel like because if the side effects of an inert (dead? Iām no biologist) virus are so pronounced then the disease itself must be really something.

The Yoruba of West Africa call cholera ĆrĆ¹n OnĆgbĆ”mĆ©jƬ, a rough translation of which Iām told is āthe ailment of two calabashesā, referring to the constant shitting and puking that often accompanies it.

Horrid, but thankfully not that 60k number.

Iām looking forward to it. Iām hoping that the rollout is not as bumpy as our early days in this pandemic.
Sick, with a vaccine rollout us Aussies can hope to leave the country some time around 2044
Can someone answer a question for me? Why are various health experts saying we may need to socially distance and wear masks after the vaccine rollout?
What am I missing?
Well, first itās going to take a few months to roll the vaccine out to everyone. So there will be a period when only some are vaccinated and we do want to keep R0 as low as possible.
Second there will probably be some people who canāt get vaccinated like there usually are in other cases. And we donāt know YET whether the vaccine a stop transmission or just illness. Thatās one of the questions that usually takes longer to answer because there needs to be a longer observation period for people whoāve had the vaccine (per my understanding, not necessarily saying itās accurate).
Basically if a vaccine is effective (95%) at stopping illness there will be a small % that will get sick - but not severely. You need to be able to determine whether the 95% are transmissible when exposed or not, and whether or transmissible the 5% are. Population observation.
Itās likely that the second point does not need masks once the whole population has the shot. But it will take months to roll out the vaccine and reach herd immunity the artificial way - between 70-80% of people in a population pool need the vaccine to achieve this.
I was wondering about this as well. What I read yesterday was that they still donāt know if vaccinated people can carry the virus and spread it to others. So theyāre saying that until they know that that doesnāt happen, even if youāve been vaccinated and canāt get sick, you could still infect others. Hopefully theyāll find that that isnāt the case.
