Third dose seems damn effective:
Vaccine effectiveness evaluated at least 7 days after receipt of the third dose, compared with receiving only two doses at least 5 months ago, was estimated to be 93% (231 events for two doses vs 29 events for three doses; 95% CI 88ā97) for admission to hospital, 92% (157 vs 17 events; 82ā97) for severe disease, and 81% (44 vs seven events; 59ā97) for COVID-19-related death.
Note thatās 93% effective compared to people who already got two vaccines, not the unvaccinated.
The matching stuff they did is a little concerning to me as itās possible to sneak a lot of bias in there, but doing a full RCT probably isnāt worth it at this stage of the pandemic.
We cover this HCA nominee yet?

This is a really compelling graphic for those who are skeptical about giving this vaccine to kids. Current vaccinations for kidsāthe ones that virtually everyone was ok with up until 2020āare targeted against diseases that have far fewer deaths and hospitalizations than COVID.
I mean, this wonāt actually convince anyone. But it should.
I was taking Tylenol to fend off fever and chills. Booster effects lasted less time than the 2nd shot for me.
This wonāt change any minds, it will just give the antivaxxers fuel to fight vaccinations for Hepatitis, Rubella, etc.
Iāll be honest, I kind of expected Walensky to announce the approval about 8 seconds after the vote. Wtf?
I actually worked out immediately after my Moderna booster because I was expecting to be out of commission for a couple of days. I hit a 3 month PR on my bench. When I finally felt the effects of the shot several hours later it was pretty intense. Although I highly doubt that the two things are connected.
Share this with the Roganbros and vax rates will skyrocket
I just wound up doing my usual light lifting routine, a little lighter than I used to because I had to dial back after catching a cold and taking about three weeks off. So Iām trying to ramp up slowly again. But I had the same thought about getting at least some kind of work in before I start feeling like crap.
Speaking of Victoria, Australia, my parents local (rural) doctor just got done for giving vaccine exemptions to anybody that asked. Apparently caught after a neighbour of his practice observed massive lines waiting for appointments and became suspicious. License suspended indefinitely pending hearing. Heās a Jenny McCarthy style anti vaxxer, has two children with severe intellectual/physical disabilities which he equates to vaccines.
I went hiking or worked out after every shot. Never felt anything.
is it weird that I hate this so much less?
Less that what?
Cool, now do 0-5 year olds please.
Itās never enough with you people! Next youāll be asking for 0 to -5 year olds.
