Shocker!
Meaning?

Note that several Western European countries (among others) have suspended use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
You mean the one that the FDA hasn't approved here? So much for the argument that the FDA was slow-rolling approvals to hurt Donny politically. --Bob
Gee, I am sorry that I have not kept up on all the approved vaccines because I have already had Covid and I don't need to worry about it.

However, it is major news that a previously approved vaccine has been pulled in Western Europe for safety reasons. It indicates that proper safety testing did not occur for at least one vaccine.

Not sure how much I trust vaccines that were developed at "Warp Speed" with minimal testing.

Look up the story of thalidomide. The FDA has a long and storied history of getting it right when Europe didn't.

But given the number of adverse events reported with the AstroZeneca vaccine, it's not at all clear that this is a genuine safety issue.

By the way, there appears to be some evidence that it's possible to be reinfected (presumably with one of the variants) after catching the disease, and that vaccination helps cut that down. But you do you. --Bob

Besides, I have already had Covid, so I have natural immunity (the best kind).

No need to even consider vaccination as I have already had the disease.
Having natural immunity may wear off. For that matter, so may the vaccine; it's too soon to tell.

Our update:

First vaccine was Friday, February 26.

Reactions: Boonie, mild arm soreness for two days. Me, day-after blanket burrito for a while because of chills.

By Sunday, we were great.

Next vaccine is Friday, March 19.

We are treating ourselves to really nice seafood takeout for lunch and then for dinner to reheat. There's a local place - Conshohocken Seafood - that opened up a couple of months before the pandemic.

It's thrived because it's reasonable and implemented no-contact pickup and delivery from the get-go. It's on a main road with a good-sized lot for itself and nail place next door. Call when you are close, pull in, pick up and go. Glad to support a business we like to mark the occasion.

As with the other Bob-I fully encourage you to do you and live in fear of a disease that has a median age of death of 83. Wear 2 masks for the rest of your life including while outside and while driving alone in your car.

Getting a vaccine is not "living in fear." But as usual, you're looking for evidence to confirm your political beliefs. Remember how you were crowing about herd immunity last summer, some 400,000 deaths ago. And a lot of them were under 83 years old.

I don't care if you're willing to endanger your life to prove your point. I do care that people like you have spent the last year endangering the lives of everyone else in this country by trying to prove their points.

And for a trip down memory lane, here's a scientific prediction from Spock that hasn't aged particularly well (not that any of his have):
Spock 5/13/20 wrote:The lockdowns and stay at home orders were never predicated on the assumption that the total number of cases would even decrease-it would just stretch the number out over time. Surely, by now, we can handle more cases-Obviously, we have plenty of ventilators and hospital space nationwide.

It seems that a modest increase in cases (possibly to be expected as restrictions ease) would be consistent with all the 'flattening the curve' graphs we saw 2 months ago. Or are we just supposed to drop those graphs down the memory hole? We need to start building up some herd immunity at some point.
Cumulative US deaths as of 5/13/20: 80,770
Cumulative US deaths as of 3/16/21: 549,019

A modest increase.

I just will never understand the constant bored busting that occurs here all the time.

One thing I do know is yhat no one posting here is going to catch anything if Spock doesn't get vaccinated. He does raise legitimate concerns AND has already had Covid once. I believe that the fear of "Warp Speed" is mitigated by the fact that the real profit to be front loaded and screwing with the trial data may destroy the manufacturer (esp. a new company like Moderna) I also
believe the length of time it usually takes is mostly CYA in action.

Me? well, as you know the last 18 months for me have been interesting,but they did push me up the priority list with a bullet. In addition to all my woe I also have a cronic condition thal leaves me with so few white cells I have starting giving them individual names. So of course i'm vaccinated. But even if I wasn't, I would not hesitate to sit down and have a beer with him.

Another statistic that exists totally in your mind or that of the Sons of the Pioneers. Meanwhile, in the fact-based world, deaths are up by an excess of 555,000 over the last year. If COVID fatalities were simply moving the needle ahead a few weeks, there would be a dropoff from other causes in the last few months. That hasn't happened. And that's despite an actual decline in deaths in a couple of significant areas: automobile accidents and the flu. People are driving less, so traffic-related deaths are down. And the same social distancing and masking measures that are effective against COVID are also effective against the flu.

From the NY Times, 3/11/21:
Since March 2020, about 555,000 more Americans have died than would have in a normal year, a sign of the broad devastation wrought by the coronavirus pandemic.An analysis of mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows how the pandemic is bringing with it unusual patterns of death, even higher than the official totals of deaths that have been directly linked to the virus.

Deaths nationwide were 21 percent higher than normal from March 15, 2020, to Feb. 13, 2021. Our numbers may be an undercount since recent death statistics are still being updated. Our analysis examines deaths from all causes — not just confirmed cases of coronavirus — beginning when the virus took hold in the United States last spring. That allows comparisons that do not depend on the accuracy of cause-of-death reporting, and includes deaths related to disruptions caused by the pandemic as well as the virus itself. Epidemiologists refer to fatalities in the gap between the observed and normal numbers of deaths as “excess deaths.”

Public health researchers use such methods to measure the impact of catastrophic events when official measures of mortality are flawed. As Covid-19 cases have spread across the country, the geographic patterns of abnormal mortality statistics have followed. Excess deaths have peaked three times, so far, as have deaths from Covid-19. There are now excess deaths in nearly every state, with surges in states like Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia fueling record death tolls in recent weeks.

For comparison, around 600,000 Americans die from cancer in a normal year. The number of unusual deaths for this period is also higher than the typical number of annual deaths from Alzheimers, stroke or diabetes.

How Scrooge-like. "If they would rather die, then let them do it and decrease the surplus population."

Forgive this rant, but that is about as callous a statement as I've heard in a while. One of my best friends just had a sister die from a combination of COVID-19 and pneumonia. She was only 58 years old and otherwise in good health. And another friend's mother died of COVID-19 just last week. Yes she was elderly, but she wasn't at death's door prior to the infection. If you haven't been touched by someone close to you dying from COVID-19, consider yourself lucky. As for me, although I had COVID-19 last year, I'm going to get vaccinated - not because I'm afraid of catching it again (a statistically unlikely possibility) but because I believe that it is best for society at large.

Here's the latest information about the level of subsequent immunity for people who are infected with COVID and recover. This comes from Europe and is based on peer-reviewed, published findings there and not on the opinions of our resident infectious disease expert, Spock.

-- People who have been infected and recover are generally protected from catching the disease again for at least six months. However, the degree of protection is less for those over 65.

-- The study gives about 80% protection from reinfection overall for those previously infected, but about 47% for those over 65. The 80% figure is slightly higher than that from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but considerably less than the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.

Although there will be future tests, both in Europe and here, getting reliable information may be more difficult as more people who were previously infected get vaccinated. Also unknown is the degree to which natural immunity lasts beyond that six-month period.

Circling this back around - Just got the word this morning that my youngest son will be getting his first shot tomorrow morning. That makes everyone in my immediate family with at least the first round. In order:

Oldest son - Got his second Moderna shot last Friday. He's front-line medical and active duty military so we figured he'd be eligible first. Currently he's in CA.
Middle son - Will get his second Pfizer shot next week. He's in CO where they have been including those who work in food stores and restaurants (he's both). He also teaches snowboarding, mostly to kids but I don't think that counts as teaching as it's all outside.
Me and the Mrs - Second Pfizer shot scheduled for 4/6. I'm 1C due to diabetes. She got in on the end-of-day overstock vaccine when I went earlier in the week.
Youngest son - Is a healthy 23 year old. He works on an Air Force base (private contractor, not military) and they have a clinic there that does vaccines. Around the first of the year they circulated a form for anyone who they could call if it looked like they will be having excess vaccine. He signed up for that and they called him this morning.

I just made an appointment to get the vaccine. I had to search several sites to find someplace that had the vaccine and had open appointments. I finally found a Walmart in east Tucson with three openings on Saturday and many more the following weeks. I don't feel like I'm taking someone else's place. Walmart had had no vaccines the last time I checked, so maybe people gave up on them. This is the only one in the metro area with a supply. I'm going to have to drive 50 miles from here to that store.

I just made an appointment to get the vaccine. I had to search several sites to find someplace that had the vaccine and had open appointments. I finally found a Walmart in east Tucson with three openings on Saturday and many more the following weeks. I don't feel like I'm taking someone else's place. Walmart had had no vaccines the last time I checked, so maybe people gave up on them. This is the only one in the metro area with a supply. I'm going to have to drive 50 miles from here to that store.
I got worried because I haven't received a confirmation email or text, so I checked. They didn't have my appointment listed. So I made a new one. This time the Walmart just four miles away had many open appointments, so I made one for Tuesday early evening. That was a serendipitous error.

AstraZeneca has admitted their vaccine does cause blood clots.
