Not sure what's the rationale here, PM said they were divesting from tobacco and investing instead in other spheres. The vaccine is bad due to association?

Ooooffffff - I would boycott a game over that (not that I've even heard of Domina). Not only is that pretty fucking weird even if you ignored the whole mask/pandemic thing, it's also just... really missing the mark on what "women want".

While likely mostly beneficial for people at highest risk (elderly, immunocompromised, etc) - I might consider getting a 4th shot for the summer just to boost my protection against the fact that barring a major spike, most restrictions are simply going to be gone soon.

 

It does seem like diminishing returns, but it would probably help combat the potential waning factor.

"FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA (freedom of information act) request over vaccine data" around the Pfizer vaccine.

 

A bit older news, some recent updates and the release of some documents.

Quote

 

11.2021

That’s how long the Food & Drug Administration in court papers this week proposes it should be given to review and release the trove of vaccine-related documents responsive to the request. If a federal judge in Texas agrees, plaintiffs Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency can expect to see the full record in 2076.

-

But the FDA can’t simply turn the documents over wholesale. The records must be reviewed to redact “confidential business and trade secret information of Pfizer or BioNTech and personal privacy information of patients who participated in clinical trials".

-

Plaintiffs' lawyers argue that their request should be top priority, and that the FDA should release all the material no later than March 3, 2022. (and continued march 7 to current time? edit*)

2 years and this is still going on. Everyone has handled this pandemic terribly.

When was the FOIA request issued?

 

Because properly protecting the privacy of the literally tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of patients involved is going to be a massive amount of work. That will likely take months or years to complete.

 

Do I think 55 years is too long? Yeah. But maybe 1-3 years for full documentation released is not unreasonable.

Wtf

[Quackers101]

pets do be spreading germs and viruses. but why? :U next up, china does ****. oh, oh no.

But really makes you question their vaccine efforts?

[rikitikitavi]

New strain found in pets?! Potentially more lethal?! Who knows, not like China's going to share... someone told them that neighbourhood's pets spread anti-party propaganda... maybe...

The mask mandate in Ontario has been over for several weeks now. I have kept masking the entire time, personally - but it's pretty mixed. At my work, about 30 or 40% of employees are going maskless and the rest are still masked. Probably a similar spread of customers.

 

Rescinding the mandate is almost certainly contributing to the increased spread we're experiencing.

no, cities in the US are starting them again due to BA2

Québec gov supposed to address people this Thursday. Better not be another frigging curfew and shops closed on Sunday. Might give a point to the truckoos if this happens.

All of them? They want it to be an individuals choice what precautions people want to take.

 

If you feel you are at risk from covid, work from home, wear a mask, don't visit friends and family, get vaccinated and boosted as many times as you feel necessary. And if you do not then keep you business open, breathe fresh air, visit friends and family, and rely on natural immunity from previous infection. Or any combination you want.

 

Personal choice. It's been two years and a lot of people want their lives back and to 'live with covid'.

Just got my 4th dose, ama.

Hoping to be able to get a more variant specific booster.

 

I have 3xpfizer. My kids are 9 and 11 and got the 2 shot pfizer. It's just what was available.

 

What I've been wondering is, since the 5-11 child vaccine is only 10mcg each, and the adult one is 30mcg, and the 12+ are given the 30mcg dosage, what does that mean for kids who are straddling the age range and have already received 2x10mcg shots?

When my kid turns 12, should he get the series again? Or just one "booster" of 30mcg?

Do you now have a 5G connection? Have you became a lizard? Do you now feel an unquenchable thirst for human babies?

[Quackers101]

wasn't there a recent document release by pfizer? if anyone could refresh on that. I guess some where critical to how it was pushed in areas it shouldn't? something about pregnant women etc, unless its about something else and how the statistics where layed out? Although there was at least more bad press about pfizer.

[Falkentyne]

@WkdPaul is the J&J Vaccine safe as a booster?  I already had three Moderna shots and I'd like to try the J&J booster, but not if it kills me.  The first booster for Moderna didn't go exactly that well.

 

I don't want to make a mistake that will be my last.
