Coronavirus Thread V: A Shot in the Arm (READ OP)

In slightly better news, The FDA has authorized Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine

fantastic. That is a game changer as its a single dose.

I think the intent was to approve it this weekend, IIRC.

Crap. It is. Tax season and weekend work makes me lose track of time.

2 New Nasal Sprays That Kill COVID-19 Virus Are Looking Remarkably Effective

2 New Nasal Sprays That Kill COVID-19 Virus Are Looking Remarkably Effective

lumen, we've been over that

Medical ethanol, nostril nozzle, compressed nitrogen. Five bucks tops.

99% effective at cleaning your nose means basically nothing. Taking a mask off to use it in a high risk environment probably amounts to a net risk.

If there aren't any clinical trials then I'd outright ban it.

Maybe it is 99.9% effective, but at what?

Producing a negative COVID test from a nasal swab, perhaps.

EDIT: It's definitely not a cure, but judging by the description it's meant to reduce severity/infectivity by reducing viral load. Might be a good weapon in our anti-COVID arsenal, but definitely not a replacement for anything.

[New Visayan Islands]

Data for PH as of February 28th, 1600 PHT/0300 EST.

Detailed update. Also:

• "We've been looking for Coof Shots that work on variants of COVID for a long time." (Cue the conspiracy theorists in 3, 2, 1...)
• Duterte: Fear not the Sinovac!
• TH: Yes...it's Coof Shot Time!
• Duterte: Thank you, Xi Jinping!

[Greater Cesnica]

Duterte: Thank you, Xi Jinping!

Doesn't stuff like this slowly erode Duterte's popularity?

In slightly better news, The FDA has authorized Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine

fantastic. That is a game changer as its a single dose.

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

No because for some reason a large number of Filipinos trust their leaders more than they should. After all, we all know that the only way to stop a drug epidemic is to kill drug offenders and there is no way we could find a way to treat addiction and actually save lives, right?

I'm just kidding. Apparently rehab is a foreign concept to a lot of people in the Philippines, as is not being murdered by the government.

Very amused by the idea that RTÉ, who can barely manage to operate an online live TV player, are engaged in this massive conspiracy to steal the nation's children and inject their blood into Ryan Tubridy.

I am amused that people genuinely believe that Mark Rutte, the geeky former prime minister who rides his bike to work and has managed to make his cabinet fall once again, is a brilliant strategic mastermind trafficking children.

But they do. And they feel the need to disturb childrens graves for that reason. Which is where it stops being amusing.

The application of the Q Anon belief system to countries outside America is nonsensical, but evidently effective for some.

Q-Anon is spreading all over Europe

A social plague that began as a desperate attempt to legitimize the biggest failure of leadership in US history has now spread to Europe. Tell the scientists to research a Q vaccine when they're done with the covid vaccine.

So basically they'll only vaccinate the ones coming in contact with Israelis.

Essentially, yes

Essentially, yes

They're doing this for themselves and never for the good of others, which is basically how Israel has always done things.

Fauci says kids will probably start getting vaccinations at the beginning of 2022

notwithstanding numerous examples to the contrary, uh, sure

Numerous examples my ass. Israel's government is selfish and is only vaccinating enough Palestinians to protect themselves, and leaving the rest to die.

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.
