This thread was deleted by a volunteer moderator. I certainly don't want a thread this big deleted so I've restored. THat being said, this thread has served it's purpose. I've closed it to new posts.
We have a new 2024 vaccine thread here. New people don't need to try to wade through 20,000 posts to figure out what is going on.
Gonna be a real hard kick in the head to a character like you on November 8 when you see proof that massive numbers of Republican voters did NOT die after all.
The Dems are far closer than they should be this election mainly because of waning enthusiasm among the GOP dead…
Offit's position, as I understand it, is that after the initial 2 dose vaccine course there is a only a marginal transient benefit from boosters in young healthy individuals. He's not arguing against vaccination, he's arguing against recommending boosters for the general population absent specific indicators. This includes the bivalent booster.
It's not clear that's the argument you've been making.
The actual argument is that there was no human data to warrant approval (just extrapolated mice data) and it is unnecessary and possibly harmful due to immune imprinting. There are literal MDs (not FLCCC MDs, although there’s nothing actually wrong with them) laughing about this very publicly.
Thank god they are literal MDs, it’s the figurative ones that scare me!
You keep talking about immune imprinting without any data. Like it’s just obvious that after 3X vaccines people won’t be able to generate novel adaptive memory responses. That is a bold claim! Remember, the stronger T cell epitopes are in the most conserved regions of the spike - it’s why the vaccines are so durable at preventing death!
Anyone can spout off hypotheticals and foment worry… The role of scientists and policy makers is weigh the risks and benefits with their relative likelihoods and make the best choices.

Lol, well, primarily the SCOTUS decision. That was an unforced error and a gift.

Bro, I recently posted a paper to this site that suggested what we are seeing is a dampened response with the bivalent booster, most probably due to immune imprinting. Nobody is saying people can’t generate adaptive memory responses. Who is saying that? But the bivalent doesn’t appear to be cultivating the memory response it was intended for. The “literal,” not figurative Offit made a not-so-subtle allusion to this. “I can’t really say this out loud but we all know it’s going on…” Just like the other “literal” allopathic physicians.

Why would a bivalent booster be worse than an original strain booster? Dose alone? Is the bivalent booster worse? Ive seen just maybe it’s not better than the original strain! Why does the flu shot update each year not have the same imprinting concerns?

That's part of the argument, but if you want to invoke Offit then the broader context of his position is important.
He has reservations about the bivalent booster specifically and the incremental benefit of boosters in the context of low risk populations. He's decidedly not a "natural immunity" proponent.
I’m going to disappear from this thread for awhile.
As far as I’m concerned, our president said Covid is over. So it is. But I guess it all depends on what kind of immunity and therapeutics you have.
Nobody is changing anyone else’s mind anymore, in either direction. It is what it is.
Farewell my fine friends.
Jesus, this thread is going to get even more silly now. Covidiocy at least had something of substance to say from time to time, now it's just extreme antivaxxers left.

Agree, they at least put in some effort. I can tolerate the misguided but earnest. I cannot tolerate the willfully ignorant.

I'd imagine passing by mirrors must be a painful event for you, so much as to leave you envying vampires who cast no reflection at all.
Please say a special prayer for my sister and her kids. My niece {herself a celebrity who is dating an NFL star – details redacted. I easily confirmed this. -AB}
Anyway, the reason for this note is mainly because of ivermectin. My sister, the mom of {my celebrity niece dating the NFL star}, recently had to fly to {city redacted}. She was afraid of testing positive for covid. My niece’s boyfriend, a guy named {NFL star’s name redacted} who was just traded to the {team redacted} from the {team redacted} gave my sister ivermectin. She told me that everyone in the NFL is using it. However it’s not the veterinarian form it is the actual pill form. I have been giving out the veterinarian form to my patients in {city redacted}. I only lost one patient to covid out of the 2000 people that I treat. He was a kidney transplant patient to begin with.
Apparently the NFL is using it because it not only is a prophylactic, as well as a remedy, but it also prevents you from testing positive and needing to quarantine.
Remember how bad the situation was in Italy ? They went so far as to implement the insane policy of mandating the "vaccine" for everyone over age 50.
Vax mob mafia goes home devastated.
Italy to end ban on health workers not vaccinated against Covid 28 Oct 2022 11:47
Italian doctors and nurses suspended from work because they are not vaccinated against Covid-19 will soon be reinstated, new Health Minister Orazio Schillaci has said.
The move is motivated by a worrying shortage of medical personnel together with declining cases of Covid-19.
The new government will also cancel fines imposed on all people aged over 50 who had not got vaccinated, he added.

Over 90% of people in Italy over as 12 are vaccinated. If you think Italy is a good model! I support you DanM! Welcome to the team!
