“Papers please”

One of the most heartening things about this place is that it constantly pushes the boundary of what's acceptable to laugh at.

Looks like we are about to get another viable vaccine.  Novax showing +90% efficacy

Is that one the U.S. pre bought a lot of hopefully?
Novax?
Wrong!
Yesvax.
Nerd. I laughed.

I’m just gonna get one of each brand

Novavax was slower than Pfizer and Moderna to get their US-based investigational sites up and running (lots of earlier enrollees in their trials in the UK).  There is question about whether FDA would review solely their UK data for the EUA, and not the US/Mexico data.  Not sure if that's going to happen or not.  Novavax was also not quite as up to speed on the manufacturing end, either.  Every vaccine was manufactured at risk before EUAs were granted, but sounds like Novavax had some trouble getting regulatory approval for the North Carolina facility they wanted to use.

Some are believing this is because the US government wanted Moderna and Pfizer out front (Moderna partnered with NIH and took Warp Speed cash; Pfizer didn't but has huge lobbying pull).

From reading about the Novavax vaccine, it may provide the best combo of safety and efficacy, including all the variants.  Once production gets rolling, this may end up being the booster of choice for me.  But I need to see more.

So you got your shot and rolled up your window to wait in the post shot area and the lady outside not having a mask on directing cars bothered you?  Or am I missing something did she stick her head in your car and talk to you or something?

I get this vibe

Yep, for advanced commercial-scale manufacturing.  And they stumbled there as far as I can tell.

My Dad noted that when he was in the Aleutian Islands 1942-43, some of the fresh troops that were brought in got deathly sick from the tropical vaccinations they were hastily given before deployment. Some even died because of a few bad batches of the vax.

They were given tropical vaccines as a subterfuge to “fool” the Jap spies on the West coast.  🙄

The ones who went to Guadalcanal probably got the placebo.

I got her a shot at HEB tomorrow, so we're good.  It takes a lot of fucking clicks to catch one before the bots do, but it's doable.

I've had no luck with HEB outside of 3-4 hours away.  I need to find me a bot.

Yeah if you get picky with location or date, it gets tough.  If you are willing to drive 2 or 3 hours, it's much easier.
