Isn't it only like 70% effective though? I mean not terrible but far less effective than Moderna or Pfizer.


There are a few asterisks on that:

1. J&J used a somewhat broader case definition and a more aggressive testing regime than Moderna or Pfizer, which makes their numbers appear worse than they actually are in comparison.
2. That's after one dose. We don't have comparable single-dose data for Moderna/Pfizer, but what little data we do have is broadly comparable to J&J. Two-dose data for J&J should be out in the next month or so.

Once in a while we get lucky. Around here anyway after end of April the hospitals weren't slammed. If there were a flu too, its scary what that would like.

Israel?How many vaccines can they have in total? Western countries have monopolized orders for the first five billion vaccines, and Canada has nine for each person. Why don't they give the Palestinians a little vaccine?

I have heard reports that they're having trouble preparing a flu vaccine for the 2021 season, because of the low incidents of flu in 2020. Basically they don't really know how the viruses mutated because of the low turn out, and so they're considering just re-releasing the current vaccine for next year. Which would probably be less effective.

Don't take it as gospel though, I can't seem to find a source atm.

Considering Israel's track record of destroying humanitarian aid that other nations send to Palestinians, why would they?

Great, make my fucking day. Some sad clown antimasker nearly put me at risk a few days ago and met up with me when they may have covid. They haven't been tested and when we met we were all masked (even though they really didn't want to be) and I wasn't in their face, but this person may have covid and I saw them maybe 3 or 4 days ago. I knew they would probably get it. This is why I didn't wanna see them till this shit ended but my brother just had to see this girl. Thankfully that was the last time he saw her too and the time before that was over a week ago.

I'm not hanging out with anyone besides my brother until I'm fully vaccinated. I'm so sick of this crap.
