Is this over the whole "just use smaller doses" thing?

[martinuzz]

No, this is about AZ delivering less vaccines than they were contractually bound to do.

The new variant in India appears to be extremely virulent. Today saw another 350K new infections, and nearly 3000 deaths. The EU countries and the US are all sending emergency aid to India, including rescources to produce vaccins.

Some good news! I expected we'd hold out even longer on that.

Well, maybe this time they realized it'd be coming home if not stopped...

It's not like we've been sending emergency aid all over the world all this time to the extent we don't need the equipment ourselves or anything

12 out of 29 people in (the closed geriatric ward of) an elderly care home in the east of the Netherlands have contracted corona, despite the vast majority of them having been vaccinated (with 2 shots).
However, they are only very mildly ill, so that's something.

[Frumple]

From what I understand that's, like... the major goal of the vaccine. It's less about outright immunity and more about making it stop killing people (and making them less virulent). Them being only mildly ill is exactly the point of the vaccination, heh.

We got news from our Health Department that our city is now 15% vaccinated. That's higher-than-expected in a city like this.

Big anti-mask anti-vax Fauci supporters. "He said we shouldn't wear masks, so I'll never wear one." and "we only need a small percentage of people to get vaccinated for herd immunity." Plus, our numbers have gone down now that you can't find anywhere to get tested.

No, immunity is the goal, because it stops spread. The less severe illness for people who get it anyway is a happy side effect.

[ChairmanPoo]

No, 5G *EVERYWHERE* is the goal because we need more broadband.

Good lord. I'm sorry for sniping at you in the WTF thread. I hadn't known there were anti-mask anti-vax Fauci people, that just seems wild.

So what is up with this Fauci guy anyway? People post random conflicting bullshit about him on a daily basis, what's his actual deal?

I believe he was awarded "Shittiest job to have 2020"

[None]

He's the Fed's lead virologist with literally DECADES of experience under multiple presidencies. THE guy to consult about pandemics. His opposition to Dear Leader has made him wildly unpopular in certain radical political groups.
