Expect more of this. The RNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, and J&J are all effective in preventing infection, and especially effective at preventing serious infection requiring oxygen, hospitalization/ICU and excellent at preventing death. But the Delta variants are here now. They are rapidly becoming predominant across the world. They are more infectious and probably more lethal too. Vaccinated individuals can be infected, but are still very well protected from serious infection requiring oxygen, hospitalization and ICU care. And are still extremely well protected from dying. Those still dying of COVID in the USA are almost exclusively unvaccinated.
No vaccine is perfect. No natural immunity is perfect. If you are exposed to a large enough inoculum of virus you will be infected. We are certain now that the "natural" immunity from being infected wanes quickly and that an individual can be infected a second time. The vaccines provide better immunity than a prior infection.
This is not over. The Delta variants are here. The fourth wave has started. Stay safe. Be prudent in your contacts. Wear a mask when in public. Don't let unvaccinated individuals into you home. Wash your hands.
I will leave you with the sage words of the great 13bit: Fuck everybody. I love you all.

@DickAllen – if you’re wiling to part with a few bucks, I highly recommend the new Criterion Collection edition of “Bull Durham” – chock full o’terrific bonus features:
You know, this might be the perfect season for the Yankees to blow up.
Don't want anyone to get seriously ill, of course. But if the fourth wave wipes out the season...well then, it would end with Altuve hitting a home run off a mediocre Yanks reliever, as all our seasons seem to.
And we could sit back and start thinking about next year. Ah!
Any doctor in the typing area of this site would know that U of R is University of Rochester is one of the top medical schools in the Northeast. Strong Hospital and Wilmot Cancer Center and Galisano Children's are top of the heap.
I thought that if Winne had all that medical advice on COVID, he may have went there with me.
I won $29,000,000 in the power ball lottery, I took advice from a person who talked about this great spell caster called Dr. OKOYE. The person placed a testimonies on a blog saying how Dr. OKOYE helped him win the lottery by sending him the winning number. I was curious and I thought it was all a joke not until I contacted this spell caster to know for myself how this works cause I have spent a lot buying tickets and I never win. I contacted he and him told me the necessary thing that need to be done and i did it and his told me to wait for 3 days and truly he gave me the winning numbers to play the lottery which i did, Can you believe my name was the first winner that is how i won {$29,000,000} Contact him on okoyespiritemple@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348109476757 Dr OKOYE is the only answer to that your problem of winning the lottery

Latest word is that Judge has it. Probably got it from the All-Star game.

Thank you Winnie – and we all love you, too! Your posts are reasons enough to follow IIHIIFIIC.
ReplyDeleteWell said, TheWinWarblist, well said.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteWinnie, where did you get your medical degree?
ReplyDeletewe may have gone to the U of R together.

ReplyDeleteEspecially FUCK Buster Onley.
ReplyDeleteWe did not go to U of R (whatever that is) together, alas.
ReplyDeleteThe University of Rochester?
DeleteOn the banks of the Genesee River?
A lovely place!
Except in the winter.
Just when you thought, this season could not possibly be more painful to watch.
ReplyDeleteSheesh!
I am sure that tomorrow's el duque post will have something in it like..."Putting off the inevitable..."
ReplyDeleteLooks like I’ll be watching “Bull Durham” a little early this year. It seems like the off-season is just around the corner.

I thought it was Rochester, but I wasn't sure. One of my partners trained there, but I did not.
ReplyDeleteStill Waiting for That Godot Person
