    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Fucking thank you! I literally clicked on this thread to say the same thing. The vaccination rate inside the Fox building is absolutely above 90%, and it's probably 100% for on-air talent. I know that money is awesome, but how do these people sleep at night?

The latest company to face outrage over vaccinations: Heineken

 

https://nordot.app/786426334934466560?c=592622757532812385

 

Quote

Heineken has found itself on the “mighty real” receiving end of anti-vaxxer vitriol.

The Dutch beer maker is facing threats of a boycott after posting a pro-vaccination advertisement on Twitter, which upset people who refuse to be inoculated against the COVID-19 virus.

The minute-long ad shows a group of elderly individuals dancing in a nightclub and then frolicking in the sea while imbibing the popular, green-bottled beer. A cover of Sylvester’s 1970s disco anthem, “Mighty Real,” is blaring in the background.

 

Quote

he upbeat clip ends with the message: “The night belongs to the vaccinated. Time to join them.”

The pro-vaccination promotion didn’t go over well for those against getting a shot in the arm to stem the spread of the disease that has claimed more than 4 million lives across the world and forced a global lockdown for over a year.

On Friday, the #BoycottHeineken hashtag was trending on Twitter with scores of users denouncing the company for the marketing initiative — one even referring to it as “deranged, disgusting and disturbing vaccine propaganda.”

 

Quote

Some uploaded videos of themselves opening bottles of the brewer’s namesake lager and pouring it down their kitchen sinks in protest.

The ad “celebrates a group of vaccinated seniors who are able to safely get back out to enjoy bars and clubs and socialize again — something we’re all looking forward to,” a Heineken spokesperson told Yahoo Finance UK. “It is all about supporting the hospitality industry and getting back to the bars and restaurants safely so we can all be together again.”

 

Israel indicates they will deploy a 3rd shot booster for people with weaker immune systems (elderly and immunocompromised). 
 

 

 

https://www.timesofisrael.com/new-government-said-to-unroll-soft-suppression-strategy-on-resurgent-pandemic/

Detailing the plan, Channel 12 news said the strategy has been labeled “soft suppression” and will seek to keep the number of COVID-19 cases down by vaccinating the elderly and immunocompromised populations with a third dose, while also bringing back a modified Green Pass policy for indoor events.

It said Bennett wants the cabinet to consider a “Green Pass Lite” policy next week, that will require people to present a vaccine certificate or a recent negative test result when entering indoor events, weddings, gyms, and the like. There will not be limits to the number of participants at indoor events, but the new policy will seek to prevent such gatherings from turning into super-spreader affairs.

What’s the overlap of antivaxxers and those that drink Heineken?  Can’t be that much.  

I sure as shit know that Bud heavy is staying FAR away from any such ad campaign.

Branson. Honestly, I'm done. If you are too stupid to get vaccinated and get COVID, I don't really feel bad for you. You fucjed around, and you should find out.

I’ve mentioned it before, but my entire immediate family are unvaxxed and don’t plan to be.  Pretty sure 3/4 of them voted Biden. At least half. I am going to see them for a bday celebration today. I hope they don’t get Covid, but they are adults and they made their decision. I’m mentally preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

And I've said my brother won't get vaxxed. He is a selfish asshole. Your immediate family are also selfish assholes. They, my brother, or any unvaccinated by choice asshat could be where the variant that is vaccine resistant starts.

My take, broadly, is that you have to consider the UK and Canadian data as well, and there could be a few things going on here...and nobody really knows the answer.

1. Maybe immunity with 2 dose mRNA regimen wanes after ~6 months, at least as far as delta in particular is concerned... Would explain the delta data out of Israel. Or there are methodology issues that result in their lower real world VE against delta. Pfizer seems spooked by what they are seeing in the Israeli data, or maybe they like vaccine revenue and are inclined to sell another round.  

2. Maybe extended dose intervals and/or mixed dose regimens used in UK and Canada confer great protection...some data would support this and it could explain the early UK and Canada delta data...or maybe it's just that they are time lagged and will see the same thing when they are in the same place as Israel.

3. FDA and CDC were probably right to shut down Pfizer's talk of EUA for broad 3rd dose booster in US, but I think that Israel probably right to push a third dose for immunocompromised and elderly. I think we know more and be able to make more evidence based decisions in US as we get near end of August. I think that PFE is right to be developing and testing boosters directed at Delta.  I think that we will eventually need them. 

Just ramblings.   

A few things do seem more clear to me though.  If you are unvaccinated adult and never had COVID you should get on the mRNA schedule ASAP. Delta is gonna chew the unvaccinated naive up, esp in regions with low vax coverage. If you had COVID previously as adult, I'd be looking to get one shot mRNA in ASAP. If you got JNJ one shot, I'd be shopping for an mRNA booster. If you are 12+ female, I'd go two mRNA shots, 12+ male at least one, two based on individual risk assessment CV related with a strong tilt to two at around 15+.

Go to a pharmacy and get your first dose of Pfizer or Moderna.

And I suppose lie about having had a previous shot?  My primary care physician already had my shot on record.

By the way.

Yeah, I'd talk to your doctor before doing something, FYI.

Cool. Yeah, I don’t think I’d be mixing and matching vaccines without doctor’s orders. This is good news.

I didn't say you should lie about the J&J shot.  Obviously talk to your doc, but there is a study underway in which mixed vaccines administered as boosters are being studied.  I don't know if it's closed.

Listen to him, not Anastasis. 

You should never do anything you read on the internet without consulting your physician. I can only say what I’d be looking to do based on my synthesis of the efficacy and safety data. But I’m just another asshole on surly horns.

Pfizer could very well be motivated by revenue. My PCP, who is a little eccentric, does not like Pfizer’s track record when it comes to business scruples. I didn’t have a choice where I went and received Pfizer.

A good number of international studies have assessed combo adenovirus vectors and mRNA shots at this point. The data suggest a more robust immune response, which makes sense imo esp with A-Z since they are presenting slightly different spikes. JNJ uses the same spike as PFE/MRNA.

I guess your first reply was meant humorously as it certainly wasn't very helpful.
