Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Promising stuff re a booster shot, but Not sure that the right conclusion to draw is that it should have been a 3 dose vaccine.

The initial 2 shot study results showed 95% (ish) efficacy when compared to unvaccinated, so is it possible that this 3 dose study is just indicative of the reduced efficacy of 2 shots over time (says the median was 11 months after 2nd shot), and the 3rd shot could also wane in a similar manner?

Where’s the selfishness?

Well, to start with I’d point to all those insisting we “just learn to live with” hundreds of people dying a week, when the alternative to not having to do that consists of wearing masks in crowded spaces and being a bit sensible elsewhere.

Then there are all the people losing their minds because of XR, but specifically that most recent person in the black Discovery who almost ran them over.

Is the message getting through at all to your patients and are you seeing a rise in vaccination?

Know at the start there was very little data for pregnant/seeking to be pregnant about the relative risks so difficult decision but now data pretty overwhelming.

Where’s the selfishness?

On both sides …. Nobody appears to be interested in the greater good…. Only what’s good for themselves

My wife’s mate is pregnant (due Christmas Day) and has had her first jab but is worried sick about getting the 2nd.

Merck's Covid pill could transform treatment. Here's how it works

Molnupiravir is the first oral treatment that has shown promise in treating Covid-19. Watch this short explainer to see how it works in the body to combat the coronavirus.

Perhaps a better way to phrase it is that the messaging should have been that, though the initial two shots gave fantastic protection, boosters might be required as Covid mutated and to keep the protection against symptomatic infection very high.

Reading this thread and elsewhere just feel a lot of people think the goalposts have been moved “I thought iif we just had the two jabs I could forget about it forever and go back to normal life”

I'll have 3 of these please on top of 2 boosters. Hopefully that gets me through to Spring
