In a recent discussion (https://mastodon.social/@65dBnoise/111541196863014711) about purifying water on Mars, I #SciFi jokingly suggested to use biology (water hyacinths) to remove perchlorates.

Well, now there is a real proposal to detoxify Martian water using biology (engineered bacteria) and turn dissolved perchlorates into H2O, Cl-, and O2. Proposed by NASA Ames Research Center and selected for funding in 2024 by #NACI .

I see that novavax is available in Toronto but it’s not here in BC yet.

Come on #naci. It’s only a 4 hour flight!

They could have said "..since suspected/likely SARS-CoV-2 infection", but they didn't. But if they had, that would probably cover the majority of Canadians who would otherwise be eligible -- possibly a very large majority. That probably would have really inflated the 'percentage of recommended people who got a booster' number, but not much else.

What they did actually say is: *known* SARS-CoV-2 infection. So if I *know* I've been infected in the last six months, it's not recommended that I get the booster. But if I don't know, then sure, they recommend I get the booster.

I guess I'll do my best to avoid getting tested for possible SARS-CoV-2 infection for the next couple months? That seems like the only sensible plan.

At least I know I'll be following the recommendations of the experts and not just those of random Internet people -- I've already seen how that works out.

On July 11, 2023, the Public Health Agency of Canada released guidance from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in the fall of 2023 -- and it's really stressing me out.

Their official expert guidance is: "NACI recommends a dose of the new formulation of COVID-19 vaccine for people in the authorized age groups who have previously received a COVID-19 vaccine, if it has been at least 6 months since the last COVID-19 vaccine dose or known SARS-CoV-2 infection (whichever is later)."

The part that is stressing me out: "NACI recommends a dose of the new formulation of COVID-19 vaccine for people in the authorized age groups who have previously received a COVID-19 vaccine, if it has been at **least 6 months since** the last COVID-19 vaccine dose or **known SARS-CoV-2 infection** (whichever is later)."
