    I got my second dose today. First was AZ, second Pfizer.

    Looking forward to the apparently shitty side effects.

    Now I just need to get Moderna to complete my collection!

    Thanks science!
    Moderna for the booster trifecta!
    If you come across any J&J let me know. Those ones are rare and highly collectable.


    You are going to be so magnetic you won't be able to walk through your kitchen without sticking to your fridge. 
    Shit. I never thought about that. Am I going to have to stay away from hard drives for the rest of my days too? Wouldn't wanna wipe any data.

    Surely Bill Gates woulda programmed that out?

    Mask free haircut for the first time.  I m slowly getting used to all this.  
    Mask free at the gym. The best one yet for me. 


    I've had one haircut in 15 months.  I'm dangerously close to flashing back to my early 1990s mullet. I suppose, barring bad stuff happening, I will have made it thought with one masked haircut!
    Recently got my 2nd haircut in past 15 months, had gone from Sept 29 till May 26, aside from some self trimming at the front to keep it out my eyes. Wasn't as long as my grunge days, but longest it had been in over 2 decades, stylist earned her money that day.

    The man who does my hair is a stylist too but I call him “my hair guy”.  Just saw him a few hours ago! Does a head good.

    Canada finally makes an announcement of sorts about a plan to share vaccine doses, or at least an announcement about an upcoming announcement. Up to 100 million.

    I'm pretty sure I read just today that the incident rate on that is 16 in every million.  Seems quite low.

    Well whatever it is, it’s warranting an “emergency meeting.” And the hospitalization rate of people in that age range contracting covid is probably pretty low too. Yet colleges are demanding their students get the vaccine.

    That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying young people that might not have needed the vaccine are being advised to get it (or forced by their colleges), and they might develop myocarditis from it.

    There does seem to be a correlation, but in addition to the incident rate being low, 80% of the cases they're seeing post vaccine have been mild. 

    COVID19 can also cause myocarditis; among other cases, Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez missed all of last season when he developed it after contracting COVID. 


    Regardless, it's definitely something to keep an eye on.

    I wonder then if it’s a matter of a pre-existing heart condition (that people weren’t feeling the effects of due to overall good health) being exasperated by covid and/or the vaccine.

    That certainly seems plausible, and hopefully something they will be able to determine through case studies of those affected.

    Well would “required” by their colleges be more suitable? Here’s a list of all the colleges that require you take the vaccine.

    My son attends a college that requires it.  I'm not concerned.  Although he needs to get his ass moving and get it.  

    Second, my point about myocarditis not being contagious is that while COVID is not as dangerous for young people, they can transmit it to other people just as easy as anyone else.  16/1MM incident rate tells me that it's still the right thing for society.

    "Still, the higher-than-normal incidence is worthy of further scrutiny. The CDC will hold a meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on June 18 to further look at the evidence and assess the risk of myocarditis following vaccination."

    That doesn't exactly scream "emergency" to me. More of a standard due diligence based on any anomaly being detected (which is where the CDC gets involved).

    I'm pretty sure I read just today that the incident rate on that is 16 in every million.  Seems quite low. 
    Well whatever it is, it’s warranting an “emergency meeting.” And the hospitalization rate of people in that age range contracting covid is probably pretty low too. Yet colleges are demanding their students get the vaccine. 
    "Still, the higher-than-normal incidence is worthy of further scrutiny. The CDC will hold a meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on June 18 to further look at the evidence and assess the risk of myocarditis following vaccination."

    That doesn't exactly scream "emergency" to me. More of a standard due diligence based on any anomaly being detected (which is where the CDC gets involved).

    Yeah, considering myocarditis can also be brought on by COVID, not to mention all the other problems that come along w/ the virus, this doesn't jump out at me as a reason not to get the vaccine, at least not based on what we know so far.

    What is the incidence per million of that condition without a vaccination?
    Is it comparable to what they discovered when some were vaxxed or way higher?

    226 vs 100. it didn't say a per million, just overall numbers for that age group.

    Myocarditis isn't contagious. 
    That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying young people that might not have needed the vaccine are being advised to get it (or forced by their colleges), and they might develop myocarditis from it. 
    A little melodramatic, no?
    Well would “required” by their colleges be more suitable? Here’s a list of all the colleges that require you take the vaccine. 

    There's always a loop hole. We've played this game with our kids' schools for years because we follow an alternative vaccination schedule so they don't always have them when the school requires.

    From that article above:

    Medical exemptions are guaranteed by law in all states, and religious exemptions, which are relatively easy to receive, are permitted by most. To reinforce the mandate, colleges could push unvaccinated students to enroll online instead.

    If allowed on campus, unvaccinated students will likely be required to continue asymptomatic testing and could be excluded from activities like studying abroad.

    The Innova rapid screening test widely used in the UK gets a very poor review from the FDA, who recommends that they just get thrown in the garbage. Another piece of bad news for the UK, with case numbers rising again and likely to slow down further reopening.

    Earlier this month Moderna followed Pfizer BioNTech in submitting an application to the FDA for full approval of their respective vaccines. It's estimated that it may take up to 6 months to review the dossiers, but assuming one or both get full FDA approval this could sway some of the vaccine-hesitant who have been wary about the EUA designation. It will be interesting to see how many of those who reported that they didn't trust the vaccines because they were "rushed" and not fully approved will be willing to get vaccinated when those reasons no longer apply.

    So Eddie's buddy is a moron.


    [Rogers] Anthony Rizzo just told @thekapman and @tweetjhood on ESPN 1000 he’s one of the guys not vaccinated on the Cubs. Said it was a tough decision but chose not to.

    Cool. I am visiting my parents and we went out to dinner tonight. It was my first indoor dining since before Covid. I have eaten many times with outdoor dining, but it was weird being inside a restaurant. It felt great!!

    Pretty proud of my country right now stepping up and getting vaccinated. I do know a handful of people that are only willing to get the first jab since there are incentives to be partially vaccinated this summer. Hopefully there are not too many like that out there and we can hit the 75% with double shots by August as they are projecting.

    so the issue was really availability in sufficient quanties then?

    idea being get more with 1 shot on board and then concern yourselves with #2?

    At the start it was that is why they spaced out first and second shots as far as they did. Get more people with 1 shot having more people with some protection rather than a smaller amount of people with more protection. Now the push is to make sure everyone is on board with their second shot. Looking at that timeline getting from roughly 4% to 75% with second doses will take half the time as it did for us to get there with our first shots. 

    Also this is not total population. This is eligible population meaning only 12 and up factors into these numbers.
