I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Doesn't that sorta ignore their supply problem? Similar to the UK they knew they didn't have enough for everyone to get two, so they employed the 1-shot strategy to maximize initial coverage. I think the US's strategy was good too considering supply is not the problem, but demand. So it's kinda comparing apples and oranges

Yes, they are stretching supply and elected to extend second dose interval, much like the UK did. We were in a similar place earlier and elected not to go that route. Now we have to fight demand constraint, and while supplies ramp in Canada they will be able to fill in the second doses.

Yes, and perhaps they're not dealing with the same anti-vax bullshit that we are. But considering WE are dealing with that, i have no problem with the strategy we employed. It wouldn't make sense for us to only provide one shot when plenty are available and people simply won't take them. We'd be in worse position than we are, imho

I think the interesting points of that graph is highlighting how quickly they were able to close the first dose gap and the turn in hospitalizations.

Agreed, and makes sense. A lot of lessons will be learned from this and next time it happens hopefully we will have learned the ideal implementation strategy

Hey, we need everyone who would vote against the insurrection Party of Trump. Right?

Sure.  Riots and no school is a winning combination.

Rhode Island is now the eighth state to have administered at least one Covid-19 shot to 70% of its adult population, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The state joins Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Vermont, who have also vaccinated at least 70% of their adult population.

From a CNN article. Let's see, what do all these states (with the exclusion of some of Maine) have in common?

Intelligence on Sick Staff at Wuhan Lab Fuels Debate On Covid-19 Origin

DREW HINSHAW MAY 23, 2021

WASHINGTON—Three researchers from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November 2019 that they sought hospital care, according to a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report that could add weight to growing calls for a fuller probe of whether the Covid-19 virus may have escaped from the laboratory.

The details of the reporting go beyond a State Department fact sheet, issued during the final days of the Trump administration, which said that several researchers at the lab, a center for the study of coronaviruses and other pathogens, became sick in autumn 2019 “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness.”

The disclosure of the number of researchers, the timing of their illnesses and their hospital visits come on the eve of a meeting of the World Health Organization’s decision-making body, which is expected to discuss the next phase of an investigation into Covid-19’s origins.

Current and former officials familiar with the intelligence about the lab researchers expressed differing views about the strength of the supporting evidence for the assessment. One person said that it was provided by an international partner and was potentially significant but still in need of further investigation and additional corroboration.

Another person described the intelligence as stronger. “The information that we had coming from the various sources was of exquisite quality. It was very precise. What it didn’t tell you was exactly why they got sick,” he said, referring to the researchers.

No way a lab with reports of lax lab procedures that also happened to be collecting bat corona viruses from the regions  where a bat coinfection would explain the origin of sars cov2 is relevant. Conspiracy theories. 

Trust the science, bro!

It’s pretty much a given at this point. In the future it will only depend on your standard of “proof” but my standard says China is lying it’s ass off so we already know the true answer.

sad/pathetic that *check notes* Guam has a higher vaccination rate than all of the states that went for Trump except Nebraska and Maine (which were both split), South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota.

By contrast, of the states that went to Biden, only Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Illinois, and Georgia are behind Guam in vaccination rate.

I wonder if the politicization of the vaccine has actually helped in blue states. Just as much as retards are refusing to get a vaccine because they need to show their Trump fidelity, I wonder if the opposite it is true for some Trump haters.

You’ve got the causation backwards.
