So when are we getting the vaccine recommendations and rollout for the fall?

Actually reading this evening that they are not yet officially approved, but they are expecting it this month. Today's meeting was about monoclonal antibodies and vaccines for RSV.

Pfizer Expects Signoff For New Covid Boosters As Soon As This Month. Here’s What To Know—And Why They’re Needed

Pfizer and BioNTech expect to release a new Covid-19 booster shot designed to protect against the XXB.1.5 and XXB.1.6 variants.

Also according to this piece:

However, with only 17% of the U.S. population having received a fall 2022 booster shot that was updated for the Omicron variant, according to the CDC, it’s unclear how many Americans will choose to adopt the latest booster.​

Taking their time it seems -- schools start opening in some places as early as next week (maybe even this week?).

Where are Moderna and Novavax?

There has not been a lot of solid news recently. Best I can tell, they are shooting for by the end of August on the approval (of all 3 brands). Then the "who and when" recommendation will come after that. I don't see a VRBPAC meeting on the schedule, so I guess date for that is still TBA.

I'm pretty much at the point that unless hospitalizations start rising across the board (indicating waning immunity from previous vaccination, or increased immune-escape variant causing hospital-level illness), I will likely be holding off on another booster, and just try to avoid infection the old fashioned way.

Hospitalizations are up 12% week-over-week. But on a gross number basis, well below pandemic peaks.

Anecdotally, I think there are a lot of people getting covid, but far fewer are getting official testing or going to the ER. Maybe another burst of Omicron like stuff going on where infectiousness ticks up, but severity is on par or lower?

My anecdata is that me (mid-Atlantic) and 2 colleagues (Northeast and Texas) are all positive right now. We have had no contact in the last 2 months. I got sick in FL and I have neighbors here in MD that are also positive. All of us in the 30-45 year old range.

I think in summer 2023, we're at a point where living life 2019-style will put most people in line to average a COVID infection or two every year. In a majority of such infections for most Americans, they won't be aware of being infected or else symptoms will be mild enough that COVID won't be suspected.

As far as I'm aware, almost every respiratory virus works this way -- certainly the common pre-COVID respiratory viruses spread in everyday social settings. Just from being out among people everyday, we get plenty of rhinovirus, enterovirus, legacy coronavirus, RSV, etc. infections -- and more than 9 out of 10 times, we either don't notice or shrug off mild symptoms.

 

[Sleestak]

Drum roll. I tested positive this AM. Asymptomatic mostly. I've popped my cherry! I live in Maryland.

I hope that's the case. The issue may be that a COVID infection might be worse than any of those others in terms of duration and severity of symptoms.

I hope that's the case. The issue may be that a COVID infection might be worse than any of those others in terms of duration and severity of symptoms.

The other thing that I personally take into account with all this is that we pretty much know the ins and outs of all those other viruses which have been around and been studied for years. We know the symptoms, the duration, the aftermath of an infection, etc. and those are all pretty standard now for the most part. With Covid, we are only scratching the surface of what we know. There are some pretty eye opening (to me) findings. While it's not "red alert" status or anything, it's enough to give me pause. Until we know more, I am erring on the side of caution and trying not to get infected at all if I can help it, and definitely not 2 or 3+ times per year.

 

[Doug B]

... and definitely not [COVID] 2 or 3+ times per year.

The idea is that you generally wouldn't be aware of the infections. Influenza is that way -- asymptomatic cases are common.

Right, I get that, but we know by now that influenza isn't doing any damage with those asymptomatic infections. We don't know that about Covid and, for me based off of everything I've read, it's a bit early to assume that. That is my point. It could turn out to be the case. But perhaps not.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Drum roll. I tested positive this AM. Asymptomatic mostly. I've popped my cherry! I live in Maryland.

Glad you're doing OK. Having had my first case in January, I know the feeling. It's a low-key bummer to go that long and think that you have unique qualities like a stronger immune system or something, and then realize, nope, you just got lucky for a long time and then your luck ran out.

 

[Doug B]

... we know by now that influenza isn't doing any damage with those asymptomatic infections. We don't know that about Covid and, for me based off of everything I've read, it's a bit early to assume that.

Gotcha -- I follow now. While I lean the opposite way on this point ... I acknowledge that it's supposition on my part rather than firm knowledge.

My kids started Tuesday of this week.

Ridiculous.

 

[Doug B]

Ridiculous.

I don't know about AAA's kids school (presumably Atlanta area) ... but around here, the public schools now have about two weeks of "hurricane days" built into the schedules. That has pushed the yearly start from late August to early August. Summer vacation is about 10 weeks on the nose now.

I think it's a Southern thing. Growing up in the Northeast, we always started after Labor Day. Here in Miami public schools start up on the 16th this year (it used to be a few days later but last year they moved it up and shut down the entire week of Thanksgiving). I think Broward is the week before and Tampa is even earlier than that.

No hurricane days in Atlanta

We have a Fall, Winter and Spring break plus half a week at Thanksgiving and I think 2 weeks at Xmas. We are almost done with HS anyway so no big deal but it is a little annoying.

 

[LawFitz]

I wish more studies were being done comparing the frequency of vaxxed individuals getting Covid vs. unvaxxed. Weird hearing so many of you get the bug multiple times. I know a lot of vaxxed and a lot of unvaxxed individuals. Seems like every one of my vaxxed friends has had Covid at least twice. And yet, I know for sure after asking all of my unvaxxed friends, that NONE have gotten it more than once. Relatively small anecdotal sample I am talking about, but very much in line with the 'conspiracy' predictions of weakened immune systems and negative long-term efficacy for the jabs.

We should do an informal poll here to see how the above dynamics are playing out here at FBGs...

1. Are you vaxxed? (Let's count even one mRNA or DNA vector shot as vaxxed)
2. How many times have you had Covid?
3. How bad were your symptoms?

My answers...

1. No
2. Once, last year
3. Mild - bad headaches on day two, which disappeared completely after taking Ivermectin. Overall ~3 days of flu-like symptoms, with a cough that lingered for a couple weeks. No lingering effects from there at all.

 

[Doug B]

We have all those breaks, too, plus I think a full week for Mardi Gras. If we have another major hurricane (latest was Ida in 2021), they take days from the Fall Break and maybe a few from Thanksgiving and Mardi Gras.

 

[The Z Machine]

3. How bad were your symptoms?

1. Are you vaxxed? (Let's count even one mRNA or DNA vector shot as vaxxed) - Yes
2. How many times have you had Covid? - Two. First was Omicron wave Jan 2022. Second right now.
3. How bad were your symptoms - Mild for the first one. Sore throat for 3-4 days, fever for 1 day. Medium for this second one. Wicked headache on day 1, very mild fever, lots of congestion. Some fatigue even on day 6. Nothing anywhere close to something that would send me to the hostpital.

My anecdotal experience is opposite. Most of my anitivaxer friends and family have had it 2-3 times. The vaxed, I don't know of any who had it more than once. So you can see how useful this data is.

 

[FatMax]

1) Yes
2) Once - April 2023 - three months ago
3) Very Mild. If I didn't lose part of my taste and smell, I would have thought it was allergies. No fever, no sore throat. Sinus congestion mainly.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

1. Yes
2. Zero
3. N/A

Very similar

1. Yes (4x)
2. Zero - never tested positive
3. Had incredibly mild symptoms once when my kids tested positive in late August of last year. But I tested negative.

Important context: I travel for work all the time. 100,000+ miles of air travel per year. Multiple continents. So I haven’t exactly been hunkered down since getting vaccinated. And I don’t wear a mask anywhere. That’s been my behavior pattern since August 2021. Planes. Hotels. Mass transit. Restaurants. Europe. Caribbean. North America.

None of my family / friends who are vaccinated have had bad symptoms (that I know of). My cousin and her family were unvaxxed. She and her daughter both were in the ICU. Her husband avoided that fate but was still hospitalized for 1 day. My dad has a half dozen older relatives who either died or were hospitalized (50-50) and unvaxxed.

But my anecdotal examples don’t matter. We know that vaccines massively reduced death rates.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

1. Are you vaxxed? (Let's count even one mRNA or DNA vector shot as vaxxed)

Actually, I never thought I was unique in my resistance. But we have no kids, and I'm a bit of a homebody by nature, so it is not surprising that I am one of the late adopters. Just nowhere near the number of vectors that parents, for instance, face. I appreciate the thoughts! Doing fine - minor sinus irritation is all at the moment. Don't even have fever or aches.

 

[Doug B]

1. Are you vaxxed? Yes
2. How many times have you had Covid? One presumptive case (PCR was negative due to possible collection error on my part, circumstantial evidence of infection was compelling)
3. How bad were your symptoms? Not too bad all things considered, but annoying and tiring. Call it a 5 on a 1-10 scale. Worked from home the whole way through.

 

[Scoresman]

1. Yes
2. Zero
3. N/A

Ditto.

 

[Scoresman]

Yeah even if being vaxed led you to get COVID more, which is based on zero facts as far as I can see, I would trade that everyday for protection against severe disease.

yes, once, symptoms were that of a pretty serious flu. Was knocked out for a good 3 days, took a week to get back to normal.

 

[3C's]

1. Are you vaccinated? Yes
2. How many times have you had Covid? One presumptive case before home testing and the vaccine were available
3. How bad were your symptoms? Depends on perspective. It sucked balls really but it could have been worse.

 

[The Commish]

1. Yes
2. Zero
3. N/A

Ditto.

Me, my son too.

By the way, should probably point out that simple math is going to show us that more vaccinated people have had covid multiple times than unvaccinated people. That's because there are more vaccinated people out there than unvaccinated and the vaccines don't prevent you from catching it. It would defy basic calculations of probability and/or statistics if it were the other way around. There doesn't really need to be a "study" done to tell us this.

It killed her. So difficult, nigh impossible, to get it again.

'Fairly shocking': Secret medical lab in California stored bioengineered mice laden with COVID

An investigation into the California warehouse revealed hundreds of bioengineered mice, infectious agents and medical waste, officials said.

www.usatoday.com

CDC detected at least 20 infectious agents​

Zieba said officials had to conduct a separate investigation into the warehouse for several weeks because it was private property.

After authorities discovered that people were working inside the building, Zieba said, federal, state and local agencies joined the investigation, including the county health department and the FBI. Authorities were then able to serve an inspection warrant in March.

"Certain rooms of the warehouse were found to contain several vessels of liquid and various apparatus," court documents said. "Fresno County Public Health staff also observed blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material."

Hundreds of mice also were found at the warehouse, where they were "kept in inadequate conditions in overcrowded cages" with no food or water, according to court documents. An associate with Prestige Biotech told investigators the mice were "genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID virus," the documents added.

I coach kids soccer and basketball. Since the vaxxes rolled out,

The 30-something uncle of one of my players dropped dead completely unexpectedly within a week of getting vaxxed in 2021.

Two others of my players ended up with myo- and peri-carditis after the jab.

The Virus is Learning New Tricks and We Humans Keep Falling Behind

The new SARS-CoV-2 variant (EG.5.1), how we are about to FLip, and where are the new Covid boosters?

erictopol.substack.com

 

[nirad3]

1. Are you vaxxed? (Let's count even one mRNA or DNA vector shot as vaxxed)
2. How many times have you had Covid?
3. How bad were your symptoms?

1. Yes, initial + booster
2. Once, July 2022
3. Barely anything. Just felt like a very mild case of my seasonal allergies and I slept it off.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

EG.5.1 is going to have its moment it seems. Almost certainly what is driving up cases everywhere right now.

Just an FYI:

Ten symptoms of new rising Covid strain - from headache to altered smell

Given the name Eris by experts, the variant of the widespread Omicron strain has seen a huge surge in cases, with one in seven infected now believed to have caught it

www.mirror.co.uk

10 symptoms of EG.5.1 strain​

1. Sore throat
2. Runny nose
3. Blocked nose
4. Sneezing
5. Dry cough
6. Headache
7. Wet cough
8. Hoarse voice
9. Muscle aches
10. Altered smell

According to the Zoe Health Study, the main symptoms are similar to the heavily publicised Omicron ones. These are a sore throat, a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing, a cough without phlegm, a headache, a cough with phlegm, a hoarse voice, muscle aches and pains and an altered sense of smell. However, shortness of breath, a loss of smell and a fever are no longer the main symptoms.​

Nailed every single one of them, except for some muscle aches (replaced by general fatigue). I was shocked that my smell and taste is altered. Also having temperature regulation problems. Too hot, too cold, etc. This one hit me hard. I'm on day 10 and maybe back to 85%.

 

[Scoresman]

The wastewater upward curve seems to be starting to flatten with this week’s data. Maybe this wave will be a short one.

I hope constipation will never become a Covid symptom or we will lose our last remaining metric.

 

[Sleestak]

I'm pretty much back to normal, just waiting for some sinus congestion to resolve. During the worst of it my main issues were a moderate fever, malaise, fatigue, aches, and a good bit of congestion but not much in the way of a cough. It is about 96 hours following onset of symptoms.

Feeling impatient with my progress 2 days ago, I got a telehealth consult and got a Paxlovid prescription. 6 hours after the first dose and I was already beginning to feel much better. Highly recommended.

Just an FYI:

Ten symptoms of new rising Covid strain - from headache to altered smell

Given the name Eris by experts, the variant of the widespread Omicron strain has seen a huge surge in cases, with one in seven infected now believed to have caught it

10 symptoms of EG.5.1 strain​

1. Sore throat
2. Runny nose
3. Blocked nose
4. Sneezing
5. Dry cough
6. Headache
7. Wet cough
8. Hoarse voice
9. Muscle aches
10. Altered smell

According to the Zoe Health Study, the main symptoms are similar to the heavily publicised Omicron ones. These are a sore throat, a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing, a cough without phlegm, a headache, a cough with phlegm, a hoarse voice, muscle aches and pains and an altered sense of smell. However, shortness of breath, a loss of smell and a fever are no longer the main symptoms.​

Are we allowed to notice that these symptoms basically describe the common cold?

Don't know about allowed, but man that is a pretty dead horse.

One of my many hot takes about covid-19 is that it would be very good if evolution, prior infection, and vaccination turned this virus into the common cold. I know many disagree.

I'm pretty much back to normal, just waiting for some sinus congestion to resolve. During the worst of it my main issues were a moderate fever, malaise, fatigue, aches, and a good bit of congestion but not much in the way of a cough. It is about 96 hours following onset of symptoms.

Wife was feeling "off" and did a home test yesterday...positive. Hopefully she too is feeling like her normal self in a few days. Not too bad so far though.

Buddy, what I had is nothing like a common cold. The change to my sense of taste and smell is certainly unique.

I swear there are people who want this Covid to stick around forever so they can justify their symptoms if they get sick , its so strange .


I picture those people reacting like this when they read someone elses symptoms and are like ''THATS IT , THATS WHAT I HAVE !!!
