COVID OMICRON Thread

You'll be stone dead in a moment...

Still one of the best.

I’m pretty sure I already died once, so I should be immune

You are now eligible for a ghost gun!!

 

[BigRed]

I go to the Zips car wash because they have the free vac.

Zips Suck for Free

If those of the obiden ilk have their way, only the dead will have the natural right to defense and an unlimited privledge of casting votes.

They almost doubled their price and it's still the cheapest when you factor in the free vac.

Florida shuts monoclonal antibody treatment sites after FDA sets new limits

So the FDA yanked the EUA for the two most common monoclonal antibody treatments used in treating the 'Rona.

They say...



Seems odd they have that kind of data so quickly. Wonder where their data is showing how 'active' any of the vaccines are against the dreaded omicron?

It's true though. Existing MAB from Regeneron and Lilly were made against non-mutated spike proteins. Omicron has like 20 mutations on spike proteins which is why it was side stepping the vaccines.

I felt amazing after MAB for Delta. Anecdotally patients did not note much improvement after mab for omicron. Sotrovimab is different. That one is recommended as it is working better.

I hope they’re working on a MAB concoction that targets Omicron. Though not as pathogenic as Delta was some people are having a rough time with Omicron.

I dunno even religion has had limits in its hatred.

It did? What would be a step up from wanting to kill anyone that believes differently than you do?

Yes because that’s exactly what all people that identify with any kind of religion whatsoever do all day long every day.

So, exceptions disprove the rule but not the stereotype? Got it!

Sounds nuanced, or something

You did. Religion wants to kill.

Hey! By jove you finally got it! Yer getting nuance! Congratulations!

Indeed exceptions disprove the rule but not the stereotype. Take the statement, “Religions are about killing dissenters”. As a rule, a valid counterexample disproves the rule. Stereotypes, on the other hand, are built from observations about tendencies.

An anecdotal case of a handful of religions that have overridden the human tendency to kill dissenters does not disprove the stereotype if the stereotype still represents the majority of religions. The thing that would disprove the stereotype is most religions not killing off dissenters. And that’s the case now. Of the most common religions today, most no longer advocate killing people. That sterotype is outdated. Christians no longer kill “heretics”.

Supposedly booster in March will Target it

At this point I’d rather the treatment than the prophylaxis. How many boosters is too many?

No one gets rich from the treatment.

By the time they figure this out, it'll be too late.

It's already too late. Won't be realized for a while though, sadly.

You did. Religion wants to kill.

That is not what I said. I replied to religion having a limit in its hatred asking what is a step up from wanting to kill everyone that does not believe like you. Talking about limits is not the same as saying every religious person believes that.

Are you denying that religions have done that? History is full of examples of religion after religion doing just that.

I often am amazed that humanity has managed to thrive with our propensity for killing each.
