  1. Flew out last Friday around 3pm. 5m to clear standard security. There was a big ass wreck and backup on 71 though so that might have choked off the traffic.

    I hate all soccer refs.
  3. I say that as one who did a flu vax and pcv vax today, so that is where my risk calculus is at.
  4. It is not at all an unreasonable goal. The question is what are the means to best achieve that goal. Paxlovid is right out not likely to achieve that outcome, at least based on the extant data. Boosting may or may not achieve that outcome. At least to the extent that the evidence is available, boosting with Novavax is the way to go.
  5. If you want a real rational based approach to this, the gate checks are go through Ab levels (try to squint and see the undefined correlates of protection) or just fall back to risk based recommendations (again, squinting required but this makes most sense from public health perspective imo). This is not a matter of anti- or pro-vax, although I recognize that this is all hopeless discussion in the current political environment.
  6. Novavax was vaporware shots a few weeks ago. Readily availability now it seems. My go to rec for older adults in the fam that want to boost. For the gas money costs of a trip to Mexico, you could screen for antibody titers out of pocket from quest or labcorp as a screen and also cover the costs of boosting out of pocket if you see fit. We still don't know the correlates of protection. But these are just the facts. Paxlovid, you guys are on your own. There is no clinical data that supports paxlovid use in the current mix of prior infection and vaccination. At $1500 a pop per round, this is just silly stuff that the surly 1% can entertain when they want to dispense with evidence based medicine.
  7. It was talked up a bit in the earlier stages of this thread. But is anyone doing Covid spike or nucleocapsid AB testing anymore? Particularly prior to boosting?
  8. You doc seems like he reads this board, instead of engaging with reality.
  9. Travel to Mexico on one hand. Randalls/CVS/Walgreens on the other.
  10. Set up an appt with the Randall’s on 620. Make sure they have insurance info and ask them to confirm your cost share before they do the shot. I got flu and PCV for $0 total. The billable cost was $600 which is stupid. The pharmacist there will vet discount cards and stuff for you if your insurance does not cover.
  11. Novavax is everywhere right now. If you are looking for a booster, that is the way to go. Sent my parents a list of places with on hand stock earlier today.
  12. You seem like a biology major.
  13. Perfect example. I know that it might be hard, and just the opinion of this cunt, but your time on this mortal rock would be better spent trying to heal the deep wounds between you and your parents and less so doing the serial negging and misogynistic language thing. I do appreciate the value of having an outlet though. So no hard feelings if you just keep the course.
  14. There is some shit certainly going around. People dropping left and right with stuff. Took my first covid test in a few years just to rule out. Negative. Still have yet to pop a positive result. Got the flu and pneumococcal (PCV for first time) this cycle.

    lol.
  16. I put a big tow hitch on my new trd pro to dissuade people from creeping too close.
  17. You got one post to latch on to, so go for it. Already did the mea culpa. Comey is the second worst director of the FBI.
  18. They won't.
  19. lol at using the word ethics and Comey in the same post.
  20. Corrupt cops always need to get got.
  21. Than for all the other. No tears shed.
  22. Comey should rot in a jail cell. Or at least be bankrupted in the legal process. This should be something that #allsides can find common ground on.
  23. I feel sorry for the guys that did stupid shit to their portfolio out of fear at spy 500.
