Still waiting on a new booster concerned that what i caught wouldn't do jack squat against BA.5 it's started appearing a few days ago. but the county i live in didn't have alot of BA.5 going around just alot of BA. 2 variants. --- It happens with literally every single generation, and now it's your turn.

Not trying to downplay this, but isn't it expected at this point that any strain that we hear about is going to be more vaccine resistant? --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] That's not fair. Most of us have been safe and gotten our shots, and really how long can we shelter in place and keep living under the constant threat of Covid? It's been 2 years. I wore my mask, got my shots, and even got Covid. So I've done all I can do. Direct your anger at the fuckwits still spouting "plandemic" and refusing to take "dA jAb". They're the reason we're still balls deep in this mess. --- "You go. I'm just going to stare at the lake and think about how I almost just killed a baby." ... Copied to Clipboard!

They're the reason we're still balls deep in this mess. The covid-casual crowd has been just as much of a hindrance to recovery as the aggressive, frothing-at-the-mouth antivaxxer; one is a vocal minority, and one is a silent (or at least less-vocal) majority that has a subtler yet equal (or even stronger) sway on public policy. The covid-casual crowd, among other things, is the type of person who: doesn't wear a mask in public, or take similar reasonable precautions unless they're forced to; eagerly declared 'mission accomplished' on Covid in the spring of 2021, and lambasted people who were still insisting on precautions with the line 'it's like some of you don't even want the pandemic to be over;' thinks mask and vaccine mandates are an overreach, and feels relief instead of stress (either openly or secretly) when either gets removed / shot down; thinks the death count is the only factor that matters when gauging the severity of Covid; routinely insists that Omicron is 'milder' as a way to downplay preventative measures. Maybe such things apply to you, maybe they don't. I won't assume. And I don't think it's worthwhile nor morally correct to go picking fights with every covid-casual person I come across. But if a covid-casual were to start complaining and passing the buck when they feel like they don't deserve any criticism over this? Sorry, but those people are not the innocent little lambs they think they are. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - Artwork by Wii_Shaker ...

I'm now on my second booster, so have had 4 shots. I live in a major city but kinda near the outer edge, so I frequent both city areas and suburban areas when I travel further out. I still wear my mask at indoor places except for when seated at restaurant and whatnot. I've gone to a few concerts during pandemic but always kept my mask on except for while taking a drink. Have never gotten COVID that I'm aware of. I told my wife (who also wears a mask in most places she goes), that I don't want to stop wearing my mask because I want to normalize wearing it. The less of us with masks the harder it is to make it normal again when it's needd. But I'll tell you, every time I go out, I still see the majority of people have stopped wearing them. It's frustrating to see people basically pretending like COVID never happened. --- http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111123223446/simpsons/images/9/99/K.png I didn't even give you my coat! ...

Is there a reason a new vaccine hasn't been put out that is better against newer strands? With how quickly the original vaccines came out I figured there would be something by now. From what I'm reading I don't qualify for another booster at this time which stinks because it's been about 10 months since I got the last one. --- We all ate the biscuits, Fighter.

"As the BA.5 strain becomes more popular, incidences of the BA.1, BA 1.1 and BA.2 omicron subvariants have declined."

Yeah, no shit. The virus has evolved over time to be more and more different from the original strain that the vaccines were developed based on, and because getting updated shots out takes so long, by the time one's out, the virus will have changed further, making even the updated vaccine imperfect (though likely much better than the current one) against it. With mRNA technology, they should be able to keep on top of newer variants far, far faster than they're doing. But, regulatory hurdles and whatnot are preventing that. --- But I Trumble from there! http://error1355.com/ce/Trumble.html ... Copied to Clipboard!
