  • I thought it might be helpful to have a separate topic related to the vaccine.  If this is too much duplication, mods please delete this thread.  I thought it would be good to talk about who can get the vaccine, where they can get it, what side effects people are seeing, and in general what is going on with distribution.

    The CDC has published vaccine distribution guidelines, and if you care, they are worth reading.  They are dividing the timeline into:

    • Phase 1 - Potentially limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses available
    • Phase 2 - Large number of vaccine doses available
    • Phase 3 - Sufficient supply of vaccine doses for entire population

    Who you are will determine if you are eligible for a vaccine in the various phases.

    Phase 1 is divided into a Phase 1a and a Phase 1b:

    • Phase 1a - Mostly healthcare workers
    • Phase 1b - Other essential workers, people with higher risks, people over 65

    If you are eligible to get the vaccine and they have in in stock and you want to get it, it is important to go get it.  Both of the first two vaccines can spoil, so if a dose is sitting there and you aren't there to get it, they might have to throw it away.

    Both vaccines require two shots.  It is important to go get that second shot.

    Who fits in phase 1b and who has to wait until phase 2 might be a sticking point.  The "people in higher risks" category includes a lot of folks, maybe more than you would think might be in that category.  Hopefully we can quickly get to phase 2 so that we don't spend too long arguing about who is or is not in Phase 1b.

    Anyway, I'm interested in everyone's experience with the vaccine and especially getting the word out for those that can go get it, so that every dose ends up in an arm rather than in the trash.

    You need to keep up -- it's spilling into ALL vaccines.  And not just hesitancy, but outright bans on ANYPLACE requiring them, with such bans having the force of law.  Good luck not having fucking polio make a comeback.

    We have leadership that is making being anti-vax, ALL VAXES, a central tenet of their governing philosophy.  It's getting worse, across the board.  It's all falling apart.  The worst-case scenario happens to be matching up to reality rather perfectly. 

    I haven't noticed this. But, I can see government mandates for vaccines having negative repercussions. Some people don't like a vocal, active central government that minimizes the voice of local and state governments.

    We have had vaccine requirements in schools for decades.  Those will be going away.  It's an inevitability, now.  Not because of any sound policy reason, but because of a raging case of oppositional defiance disorder.

    How about this: I am all in favor of personal responsibility.  You are free to refuse any vaccine for yourself or your children.  But if a case of such illness is ever traced to you or your kid as the source, you are liable, criminally and civilly, for assault.  If you want to act recklessly with regard to yourself, have at it.  The second it harms a third party, you pay the piper.

    Civil liability makes sense but I don't think it makes sense criminally as assault unless the person willfully spreads disease after infection.

    If you walk outside and discharge a firearm in multiple directions because MAH FREEDOMS, and a bullet hits a bystander, will you be criminally charged?  Of course you will.  

    Engage in a reckless activity that by its very nature creates a high risk of harm to others, face criminal liability.

    That would be more like a knowingly infected, non-vaccinated person walking around in public and I would agree that that should be a crime. Assault requires intent, meaning that there has to be a deliberate, unjustified interference with the personal right or liberty of another.

    Yes, but shouldn't we do this across the board versus picking and choosing. Did I not just see in another thread that HIV positive people knowingly having unprotected sex was no longer a crime? Seems like that is way worse and can actually be proven that the person "knew"

    I don't think there is any real way to implement something like this and we should all just prepare for more political shitshow going forward.

    So my MILs cardiologist, who has a lot of “opinions,” told my MIL that if you get the flu shot and a booster together there’s potential for the flu shot to be less effective.  But then it gets even weirder - he said the “research” shows that if you get the booster first, you should wait 2 weeks for the flu shot, but if you do it the other way round, you need to wait 4 weeks after the flu shot for the Covid booster. 

    Now my MIL wants to wait until November for her flu shot in case he’s right.

    CLAIM: A World Health Organization tool called VigiAccess shows thousands of adverse reactions from COVID-19 vaccines.

    AP’S ASSESSMENT: Missing context. The WHO list known as VigiAccess shows symptoms reported by people following vaccination. The reports, some of which are in the hundreds of thousands, are not vetted or verified, nor are they proof that the vaccine caused a particular symptom, according to a spokesperson from the organization that oversees the database.

    THE FACTS: As a growing number of people worldwide receive COVID-19 vaccines, social media users are sharing a video of a WHO database without proper context.The video shows a phone user navigating to the search engine DuckDuckGo.com and searching for “vigiaccess.” The user clicks into the tool, searches for COVID-19 vaccines, and finds hundreds of results labeled “adverse drug reactions.” They include a range of ailments, from cardiac disorders to immune system deficiencies.

    “You HAVE to see all the ‘adverse reactions’ from the covid jab they are hiding from you,” one Twitter user wrote alongside the video.

    “VigiAccess is a worldwide reporting system for adverse effects of vaccines,” another user wrote. “Check out these numbers!”

    But these posts don’t provide enough context around VigiAccess, which is a search tool to look through unverified reports of symptoms observed after taking a drug or getting immunized. The reports in VigiAccess are aggregated from data in a WHO database called VigiBase. VigiAccess is meant to be a “starting point” for people interested in learning about potential side effects, according to its website. Neither VigiAccess nor VigiBase shows confirmed side effects, as some social media users claimed.

    Reports in VigiBase are submitted by organizations that have been appointed by health departments in various countries to do so. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is one example.

    Uppsala Monitoring Centre, a Swedish organization that operates the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring, is responsible for overseeing the database. The reported information is different depending on the country submitting the information, and the group does not remove any reports from the database unless the person who submits the initial report asks for it to be removed.

    “Neither WHO or UMC vets the reports of suspected side effects in VigiBase (shown in VigiAccess) upon submission,” Helena Skold, VigiBase Manager at Uppsala Monitoring Centre, said in an email. “The nature of spontaneous reporting however, makes it very difficult to prove that reports are falsified as reporters are often anonymous.”

    Skold said the process of maintaining the database is largely automated and very permissive because there are so many reports to handle.

    “We only do a basic validation to confirm that the minimum required information is included,” she said.

    A disclaimer on the website says “VigiAccess cannot be used to infer any confirmed link between a suspected side effect and any specific medicine.”

    Skold further confirmed to the AP that it is not possible to draw any conclusions about the safety of a medicinal product just from looking in VigiAccess.

    Come on man. There is a likely a significant surveillance bias playing out in that example. Lots of testing going to find asymptomatic cases with a non-sterilizing vaccine. 

    Hospital Cases

    There are 10 people with Covid-19 in University Hospital Waterford, according to the latest HSE update - one of those is being treated in ICU.

    It's a jump up from 7 on the previous 24 hours.

    It's the highest number of cases on site there since March 31st.

    Meanwhile, the latest CSO statistics indicate that one person has died in Waterford due to the virus in the week ending October 1st.

    The total number of deaths from the virus in the county since the pandemic began is 110.
