Hearing of more people with persistent co(vid)lds lately.

STUDY finds that the more you're boosted, there is A GREAT DEAL less risk of getting severe, critical, or fatal #COVID19: "Adjusted Hazard Ratios severe, critical, or fatal COVID-19 were 0.86 (14% reduction) for one dose, 0.15 (85% reduction) for primary-series vaccination, and 0.11 (89% reduction) for first booster vaccination." Too soon for data on the new booster, but without, risks only rise as immunity fades. #GetABooster https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/irv.13224

@phlogiston Yep. Me too. Prompted my partner to check -

Is it six months or more since your last booster against #Covid19? Yes?

Then go #GetABooster! 💉

The 2023 COVID-19 booster isn't available through my healthcare and insurance provider Kaiser Permanente in my area until the end of October. So I used https://myturn.ca.gov to find a nearby other provider for a sooner appointment, which is still 2 weeks away but I'll take it. #getvaccinated #GetABooster
My Turn - California Vaccine Scheduling & Notifications

@barb

I have no sh^ts to give for this loser monopolizing cable news.

There's just so much more that is so much more important right now. #ukraine #eastpalistine #wisconsin #georgia #climatechange #weather #getabooster #womensrights #enfantdeaths #everythingeslebutthisjerkaddictlawyer

Vaccine mandates save the economy: “In scenarios involving the emergence of a novel, more transmissible variant, against which vaccination and previous infection offer moderate protection, the estimated net benefits are potentially large. They reach almost $20,000 per additional vaccinated individual, with more than 20,000 total deaths averted over the 6-month period assessed.” #COVID19 #GetABooster

“Despite the widespread belief that the pandemic is over, death and disruption continue.”

Covid becomes plague of elderly, reviving debate over ‘acceptable loss’

Nearly 9 out of 10 deaths are now in people 65 or older, the highest rate since the pandemic began.

The Washington Post
Would you look at that? All of the celebrity and Florida governor fearmongering that a vaccine was going to lower your fertility, and it turns out that there's no evidence of that, but guess what a Boston University epidemiologist did find? Getting covid does seem to have a short-term negative effect on male fertility. Want a baby? #GetVaccinated #GetABooster (On the other hand, I wouldn't use the lack of one as birth control.)

All of the Republican men with insecure masculinity should think about that one. Getting their vaccines can protect their virility!

Hope they're not too dug in to their previous positions for this one.

DeSantis, wrong again
Mandates are working, no matter what GQP may say. My work has instituted a vax mandate& every one of the co-workers who have dragged their feet are making appointments. As of Feb 9th, my place will be 100% vaccinated.

It looks like maybe sugar coating the overarching consequences of a viral pandemic may not be the best move.
