'The worst version' of COVID is spreading. Can we update our vaccines in time?


For the last 18 months, the original COVID-19 vaccines — first as a two-dose series, then as boosters — have done an extraordinary job shielding us from illness, hospitalization and death. Globally, they saved nearly 20 million lives in 2021 alone. Even today, unvaccinated Americans are twice as likely as vaccinated Americans to test positive for COVID — and six times as likely to die from the disease.

But viruses evolve, and vaccines should too.

That was the big-picture takeaway from a pivotal meeting this week of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s expert advisory panel. The question before them was simple: Ahead of an expected winter surge, should vaccine manufacturers tweak their forthcoming booster shots to target Omicron — the ultra-infectious variant that has spent the last seven months surging throughout the world in one form or another — or should they stick with the tried-and-true 2020 recipe?

Many here will face the choice of "get boosted" again, or face the reality that their world view is a farce.

Most will get boosted and come thump their chest about how progressive they are once again. No different than an afternoon shopping at Whole Foods, masked fools everywhere.

I said it during the first "two weeks" and I'll say it again: kneel  to lick china's needle boys, cause standing up is too hard.

If you bet that boosters will be mandated, you will lose that bet. Ain't gonna happen.

But that won't stop the derp signal from derping out.

Mask mandates have already been reinstituted on fed.gov property due to county case levels rising to "High".
The tyrants are "high" if they think people are going back to wearing useless masks.

Meanwhile, back in the land of actual medicine, here are some recent quotes:


"It feels cautiously good right now," said Dr. Dan Kaul, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. "For the first time that I can remember, pretty much since it started, we don't have any (COVID-19) patients in the ICU."

"And that's because we're now at a point that everyone's immune system has seen either the virus or the vaccine two or three times by now," said Dr. David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "Over time, the body learns not to overreact when it sees this virus."

At first, some people said coronavirus was no more deadly than the flu, "and for a long period of time, that wasn't true," (Arizona State University health industry researcher Mara Aspinall) said. Back then, people had no immunity. Treatments were experimental. Vaccines didn't exist.  Now, Aspinall said, the built-up immunity has driven down the death rate to solidly in the range of a typical flu season. Over the past decade, the death rate for flu was about 5% to 13% of those hospitalized.

We've seen COVID hospitalizations increase to around 5,000 new admissions each day from just over 1,000 in early April. But deaths due to COVID have only increased slightly over the same time period," said Reich, a professor of biostatistics at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
