  1. I tend to agree with this..at least in the near term. I know they are doing trials on 6 month olds, but I'm going to pass on this for my 3 year old whenever it gets EU approved.
  2. Yes because some will just read the headline or 1st tweet and use it to justify their hesitation in general, unfortunately. There is no nuance any more. Dumbest time to be alive
  3. "Due to the unique treatment required for the extremely rare side effect found in 6 cases, this has not been fully communicated to healthcare providers, and thus we are temporary halting the JJ vaccine until this treatment can be more thoroughly explained" would have been better messaging.
  4. "Until that process is complete, we are recommending this pause. This is important to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot." It's a temporary pause until the treatment needed is understood by providers.
  5. Prior to the act, carves "Stein" in the wooden beam above.
  6. Fav local players: Ortiz, Martinez, Bird, Brady Honorable Mention: Bergeron, Pierce
  7. Yeah Manny is probably in the top 5 greatest hitters that ever played, steroids or not. I really miss those days
  8. Underrated NBA: Chris Mullen Fav NFL WR: Marvin Harrison, Moss, Bruce Fav Steroid Era MLB: Bagwell, Piazza, Griffey
  9. Hope it's wrong, but probably not. I'd be surprised if we get past 60% America may be close to hitting vaccine wall
  10. MASS's numbers just came out. They really do seem like they have plateaued regarding cases, hospitalizations. And deaths keep declining. Record number of vaccinations in Mass today: 112,933 - 1st time over 100K.
  11. The cases are rising among the 0-29 demos, they represent nearly 45% of the cases in MA now. A vast majority of that age group is unvaccinated, so it's not entirely unexpected given the variants increased transmissibility That anti vaxxer stance makes no sense either..unless tons of people who were recently vaccinated are getting sick as well. We just simply aren't there yet. I'm guessing we'll need to be above 50% vaccinations to start seeing notable declines
  12. Right but those conditions might be the best way to test how well a vaccine is working..in a relatively controlled environment. The wildcard is obviously the amount of variants present there. If the SA and P1/P2 variants aren't prevalent there, it may be moot.
  13. Look at Israel. They are ahead of us by over a month and a half, so we are on the same trajectory. They had similar spikes at during the early stages of vaccination - but look to have mostly squashed it. Now if they start having cases increase again, that would be a big red flag
  14. They are already working on boosters apparently.
  15. "While the majority of the population develops full immunity within 14 days of completion of their vaccine series, a small proportion appear to take longer to mount a full antibody response" also, would be interesting to see which vaccines they had.
  16. Yeah, across extremely large sample sizes..it would almost be shocking if there weren't a handful.
  17. Surprising - were they fully vaccinated? I suppose it would be silly to think it would be 100% effective over millions in sample size. Could be additional factors that we don't know about as well.
  18. We hope. My wife has had neurological issues (brain fog/buzzing, tingling/shaking, sleep issues, abnormal eeg) since last March. So far, dose 1 hasn't helped but maybe she'll get some improvement after the 2nd.
  19. But the dude in Southie says it's all good - no societal ramifications whatsoever!
  20. I work for a med software company, so tele-work kinda makes sense anyway. They are only asking us to come in a handful of times a month during the Summer, and are leaving which days flexible. Starting in September, it will be expected that we will be in the office more frequently, but that hasn't been determined yet. I highly doubt it will be anything close to Pre-Covid though.
  21. It's nice out..but pretty cool right on the water. 49°
  22. The final victim should have been the only victim. An asshole with severe mental problems (CTE), nothing else.
  23. Long term effects from a mild case of covid are pretty high actually. somewhere around the 15% range. Just get the shot. They would not be distributing this on the mass scale if they were anywhere close to worried about the vaccines' long term effects.
