People can take the IverMercktin, I don't care. Just not sure why people Stan for these med drops like they are an Air Jordan release.

Who’s doing that?

You're probably the same type of person that wants to legalize all drugs

You’re all over the place as usual. Is it an intentional tactic or a long haul side effect?

I went for a long haul 8 mile run yesterday. Guess I'm doing okay.

B is better on the logistics but this would seem to be a big deal globally, especially in poorer places, wouldn't it?

I just think new treatments for Americans is throwing good money after bad, when you could redirect money and effort to people who actually want COVID relief and can't get it.

This is a new low for you, yes?

I'm allowed to be pissed at people at this point.

I'm not advocating denying treatment to people who need it. I'm just skeptical that the people in most need will even take it.

Maybe I'm wrong. A healthy person will refuse a vaccine after watching 700,000 Americans die, but when he gets sick, he'll demand any and every experimental, unproven, and frankly dangerous treatment he can find.

Maybe Fauci has Merck stock?

How about “would you rather not have an inhibitor and live or not have a vaccine and die?”

What hurts is watching you mindlessly lick the boots of whoever is in charge.

Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine antibodies disappear in many by 7 months

Six months after receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine from Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE, many recipients no longer have vaccine-induced antibodies that can immediately neutralize worrisome variants of the coronavirus, a new study suggests. Researchers analyzed blood samples from 46 healthy, mostly young or middle-aged adults after receipt of the two doses and again six months after the second dose. "Our study shows vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine induces high levels of neutralizing antibodies against the original vaccine strain, but these levels drop by nearly 10-fold by seven months" after the initial dose, Bali Pulendran of Stanford University and Mehul Suthar of Emory University said by email. In roughly half of all subjects, neutralizing antibodies that can block infection against coronavirus variants such as Delta, Beta, and Mu were undetectable at six months after the second dose, their team reported on Thursday on bioRxiv https://bit.ly/3A4p1z0 ahead of peer review. Neutralizing antibodies are not the immune system's only defense against the virus. Still, they "are critically important in protecting against SARS-CoV-2 infection," said Pulendran and Suthar. "These findings suggest that administering a booster dose at around 6 to 7 months following the initial immunization will likely enhance protection against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants."

Good thing The Science just approved boosters for us all heading into flu season.
