I think the proud boys reenacting the VP in the navy video.

Awesome update. Dumbass former NY cop was notified yesterday that heāll be out of a job 30 days from now (presumably for refusing the vax) after 14 years as a hospital security cop.

You might want a mask in Oregon just for the smoke.
Iāve literally had someone ask for the one that starts with āIā. They were vaccinated though tbf

huh, youāre closer to me than I thought
Nat makes Australians seem so hopeful and nice. Their vax process is quite a production compared to what I got going to Walmart last April.

You always know youāre on the right side of history when you get the Mississippi-Alabama 49-50 punch agreeing with you.
Do people in Miss and Alabama think - well I know weāre at the bottom of education and per capita income and most other metrics. But in this case weāre actually SMARTER than every other state.

Thatās like 90% of politics these days.
Mobile (200k city) has given up providing ambulance service. They say if you call 911, the best they can do is send an EMT in a firetruck. Donāt believe that includes transport to the hospital.
Mississippi/Alabama: weāre 49 and 50 at everything but #1 in racism, haters gonna hate

A lot of the low education rank in the state is a reflection of how badly theyāre fucking over their Black residents, and they are proud of that

Concerning paper here out of the University of Osaka. Itās a preprint and not peer reviewed.
The SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant is poised to acquire complete resistance to wild-type spike vaccines
They did a number of things here, but the main thing was taking the Delta variant and introducing four point mutations into the receptor binding domain (RBD), all of which are observed in SARS-CoV-2 variants in the wild. They created pseudoviruses exhibiting spike protein derived from this genotype and tested the neutralizing effect of sera from people immunized with the Pfizer vaccine. Although some sera exhibited neutralizing effect, this was not generally the case and some sera actually enhanced the infectivity.
One of their findings was that antibodies against the wild-type N-terminal domain (NTD), as opposed to the RBD, tend to be more enhancing than neutralizing against Delta NTD, and that itās the RBD antibodies which are responsible for continued efficacy against Delta. They even wonder if itās possible that immunization with Delta spike in people who have already received the vaccine might elevate enhancing antibodies more than neutralizing, and it therefore might be necessary to remove the enhancing epitopes from the spike before giving it to people, but thatās highly speculative.
Itās a preprint and Iām at the limits of my knowledge here and not sure how seriously to take this, but Iām somewhat shook.

Imagine what happens when one of these Alabama anti-vaxx yahoos is faced with a scenario where a loved one has a heart attack or a stroke or a terrible car crash. There will be no ambulance, no hospital bed, and no staff to take care of them. Will they make the connection, or will they just demand to speak to the ambulanceās manager?
