By i can get you a toe Go To PostPeople I know who had a relatively okay time with the first two got hammered by the booster hard.I couldn’t even lift my arm for 2 days, and the 3rd it was still sore.
First shot did nothing and with the second shot my arm hurt for less than a day.
The other shots — including those from AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson and vaccines manufactured in China and Russia — do little to nothing to stop the spread of Omicron, early research shows. And because most countries have built their inoculation programs around these vaccines, the gap could have a profound impact on the course of the pandemic.Welcome to Year 3
would be interesting to see if that also applies to severe disease as opposed to symptomatic
If it is, we are fucked, again.
The developing world anyway

Thus far it seems severe illness/hospitalization is protected by any of the vaccines, but infection prevention/mild symptoms are through two-dose + boosters
By reilo Go To PostWelcome to Year 3Russia's vaccine actually claims to be more effective than Pfizer's and Moderna's, against Omicron

I mean, first world countries too. This will only cause more variants to emerge medium-term

Reilo, with sources: "Russia's vaccine does nothing against Omicron"

My Mum got covid a couple of months ago, if she tests now would a negative result be reliable? I know you can test positive months after infection, but I have no idea if you can test negative when you're actually positive.
By inky Go To PostAlways knew the brit vaccine would be our downfall.

You can definitely have symptoms and test negative with LFTs. Took 4 days from symptoms starting for my girlfriend to test positive and 3 days for me.
By Hytch Go To PostMy Mum got covid a couple of months ago, if she tests now would a negative result be reliable? I know you can test positive months after infection, but I have no idea if you can test negative when you're actually positive.a PCR test would be extremely reliable, with a false positive being far more likely than a false negative AFAIK.
By DiPro Go To Postno other vaccines other than the two mRNA has ever been approved here so that's at least something.Meh I think it's politics more than anything else. The chinese vaccines are a lot weaker tho, but AZ and Sputnik seem good, specially Sputnik.
Dunno about their claims about being better than Pfizer against Omicrom but even Lancet per reviewed the russian vaccine
By diehard Go To PostFuck they have more cases now than at any other point during the pandemic? That doesn't sound good
done getting my hopes up with anything COVID related but at least its not more terrible news
Very snotty nose and headaches the last few days. Been doing LFT tests once or twice a day for the last week and a half and constantly negative, but going for a PCR today just in case.
By n8 dogg Go To PostVery snotty nose and headaches the last few days. Been doing LFT tests once or twice a day for the last week and a half and constantly negative, but going for a PCR today just in case.Doing the same (PCR), but not really a running nose just tiredness. But if that is negative I'll wait a couple days for any LTF as my behaviour is becoming very hypochondriac like 😅

You can have Christmas (saves the Bommer vote) but we're going to fuck off your New Years celebrations (also saves Boomer vote).

Lol, last walk in test centre didn't even have mirrors to find my tonsils. I'm sure my attempt at using the phone failed too

I'd try and get an extra week of Xmas holidays if I thought I could get away with it.
Love how we can't sit inside for a fucking coffee at a shop, but hundreds of kids can all mingle and breath over each other in school without any masks or proper ventilation.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostGot a booster booked for Wednesday. Pfizer this time
Wellity, wellity, wellity, look who came crawling over to Team P.
Gym's are closed again :(
Aww man, just when I got back into the routine of it all again.
Quebec government has flopped the booster rollout, only 65+ can get booster shots right now, 60+ opening next week. Why the fuck are we waiting? Did we not know boosters were needed months ago? If we have the vaccines (we do) why not open the flood gates and jab as many people as possible ASAP?

sis and her boyfriend caught it. first in the family.. both boostered and very young but he's on immunosuppressive medication so i'm still very worried.
Omicron has raced ahead of other variants and is now the dominant version of the coronavirus in the U.S., accounting for 73% of new infections last week, federal health officials said Monday.Geez
By Celcius Go To PostI’m ready to get off this pandemic rideMomma didn’t raise no quitter
I spent the last hour reading about omicron and it seems scary how fast it spreads. I already almost never left the house, but I think it’s time to go back into full on lockdown mode and not leave the house unless I absolutely have to. Seems like folks are just getting it left and right, vaccinated or not. Feels inevitable at this point. :(
Sigh, COVID’s not going anywhere soon. And looks like the first Omicron death was in my state… Texas.

based on what my doctor friend has told me it's a matter of when, not if you get omicron, so just be sure to have your vax+booster ready
he also said until we have concrete data to the opposite most media is just milking the fuck out of it

the german Fauci (Drosten) said this from the very beginning of the pandemic. Everyone will get it at one point but it's important to make the first infection as mild as possible (vaccinated). Seems to me like he was right.

By LeonidDikapriovLung Go To PostWell if we leave out a few years here and there I guess.Even in those years they were right, just far right
By Laboured Go To PostGet yer boosters, lads.
Delta was soooo last year
By Daz Go To PostHorse living in 2000 and late.
I fucking wish.
Other than a slightly sore arm the booster hasn't caused me any issues. What an incredible medical specimen Microsoft customer I am.
