It looks like it could be another week or more before the FDA decides on approval of Novavax.

#Science #AntiScience #Vaccines #ConspiracyTheories #Disinformation: "People in the health sector don’t know what to do; scientific societies discuss it in bland, defeatist language and talk about meeting with social-media companies. But no one seems to be willing to say, as I do, that this is political. As scientists, we are trained to have neutrality, we’re not supposed to talk about Republicans and Democrats or liberals and conservatives. But what do we do when the attacks are partisan?
We’re not seeing vigorous pushback or response, and neutrality favours the tormentor or the aggressor. We’re not hearing from the leadership of scientific societies, from university presidents, to defend science. I think they don’t want to offend donors coming from that political side, or state legislatures or the federal government. But they need to speak out in a forthright way. That’s what you do when you have a vampire: if you don’t have a silver bullet or a stake, you shine a light on it."
#US - Some getting covid vaccines say they were denied insurance coverage
> Federal officials promised the new #covid shot would be free and covered by insurance, but some Americans have encountered a different reality this week as they tried to get vaccinated, only to be denied coverage or charged up to $200.
[..] faced myriad complications, from pharmacies being out of network, to the #vaccine not showing up on lists of approved medical expenses... https://archive.fo/2023.09.22-223601/https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2023/09/22/covid-vaccine-insurance-coverage-denials/ #covid19 #vaccines

Opinion: From #COVID to #climate, #scientists need defending https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-09-22/antiscience-climate-change-covid-vaccines-antivax “The U.S. must also recognize how #AntiScience rhetoric has emerged as a new lethal force and find mechanisms to halt its advance. ..Beyond the 200,000 deaths that have already occurred, as activism against COVID #vaccines morphs into panic about all #immunizations, we could see the return of catastrophic childhood infections such as #measles or #polio.”
I live in Alaska where there are no updated Covid vaccines to be found:
Anne Zink, chief medical officer for the Alaska Department of Health, said her vaccine team has been extremely frustrated in their search for updated shots.
“Our team is unaware of any vaccine in the state and has been calling pharmacies one by one to see if we can find any,” she wrote in a text message.

EEOC Sues Over Refusal of Religious Accommodation to Christian from Vaccine Mandate http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2023/09/eeoc-sues-over-refusal-of-religious.html
This seems like an odd use of the EEOC's limited resources.
The Supreme Court's decision in Groff v. DeJoy, which made it easier to seek religious accommodations at work under Title VII, invited lawsuits like this one.
I just didn't expect the EEOC to join in.

🚨The #AntiVax movement is on the rise across the globe. #Biden is at a loss over what to do about it in the #US🚨
Officials have felt handcuffed for the past 2 years by a #GOP lawsuit over Biden’s attempt to clamp down on anti-vaxxers.
They allege The Dems violated the 1st Amendment in encouraging Social Media companies to crack down on Anti-Vax posts.
This is where free speech meets disinformation, as millions died unnecessarily.

Waldemar Mordechai Wolff #Haffkine (1860 Odessa – 1930 Lausanne) was a Russian-French bacteriologist known for his pioneering work in #vaccines.
He developed the first vaccines against cholera and bubonic plague.
Working at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, he developed a cholera vaccine. He is the first microbiologist who developed and used vaccines against cholera and bubonic plague. He tested the vaccines on himself. Lord Joseph Lister named him "a saviour of humanity".
Maybe I *don't* have to get rid of all my CSN music, as I first feared? Stills supporting RFK Jr would be a deal-breaker, but I'm not sure about whether him supporting Clapton (whose music I've already deleted) at an RFK Jr fundraiser is a dealbreaker, too. Need to ponder this one.

I feel terrible. I made the stupid mistake of getting 4 #vaccines at one time. I got my yearly #covid and #flu shots. Then for good measure I got the #hepatitis A and B shots. I feel like death warmed over. But after nearly dying back in June from COVID, even though I was vaxed, I am not willing to take the chance. If that was COVID with being vaxed, I do not want to risk getting a strain I am not vaxed for. Have a good day!
''In summary... #BA286 is antigenically distinct from #XBB15 & previous #Omicron variants, & can evade XBB-induced & XBB-effective neutralising Abs targeting various epitopes... efficacy of developing XBB-based #vaccines vs BA.2.86 should be closely monitored & carefully evaluated... BA.2.86 has a lower efficiency in infecting cell lines in vitro. However, BA.2.86 might obtain additional mutations during its transmission to enhance its infectivity...''
#covidisntover is the hashtag, and it’s true and false. No #covid isn’t gone, but thanks to vaccines and other treatments, the cases that we’re seeing now aren’t nearly as bad.
At its peak, the hospitals were packed with the dying, but now people are sick but surviving, generally without long-term consequences.
It turns out that #vaccines work. Yes, we should still mask and socially distance, but we shouldn’t be in a blind panic. Things have changed for the better.

"Senate Republicans unanimously voted to block an effort to advance the $10 billion legislation, struck by Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah. GOP senators demanded votes on amendments to the legislation that would revoke Biden's move and reinstate the policy."
"All principled scientists understand that we remain in the beginning stages of the pandemic and that under existing policies COVID-19 will remain a dangerous pathogen for the foreseeable future.
"... a high likelihood that at a certain point a variant will evolve that causes existing vaccines to be unable to protect against severe disease and death, essentially putting mankind back at square one or even worse."
When scheduling vaccines, BE AWARE - if you schedule a GROUP, it may tell you there are no appts. when if you did it individually, there are lots (even at the same time on the same day - so their system is wonky).
This happened with both Walgreens and CVS. We tried to get four people in at once, site says "no openings" for weeks. Went to 2 people: same thing. Went to 1 person: scheduled everyone for same day within 90 minutes of each other!
'It’s fair to wonder why. We are all high-income countries. We all have the same #vaccines. We are all looking at the same data. How could public health officials come to different conclusions across countries?'

New COVID-19 vaccine arriving in Michigan. Here’s what to know.
Plus info about flu and RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus) vaccines.
I'm getting ready to head to Walgreens for my updated 2023 COVID-19 Pfizer BioNtech (COMIRNATY) booster shot. My husband got his earlier today and says his arm doesn't hurt. I'm scheduling our annual flu shots for October. Encouraging everyone to schedule your boosters! 👍🥰 #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDbooster #covidvaccine #booster #vaccines #vaccinesSaveLives

anti-vaxxers got human Lyme vaccines pulled from the market because they "felt" a part of it was making them ill despite no evidence of it in double blind studies
it was such a nightmare in publicity for the vaccine manufacturers that we have been trying to make a vaccine for twenty years without that ingredient that we couldn't find any evidence of doing what they claimed it was doing and in fact proved that this mechanism was NOT a possible cause - nor was anything related to the vaccine

Demand for new iPhones was apparently high and caused some chaos when the store opened for orders early this morning. Not unexpected.
What was unexpected was the chaos at my pharmacy.. On my visit, the staff was slammed. The reason? Pharmacies have just opened up to schedule for the latest COVID vaccine.
My pharmacist told me that the online systems were not prepared for the high demand and thus they were getting tons of calls at all local stores.
Yeah, I've been saying that vaccine appointments would be a great opportunity to give out good respirator-style masks, one each, to take away - so that each person had at least one on hand in case someone in their household got infected.
Not seen anyone in power actually take up that idea yet, though!

FDA approves new #COVID #vaccines
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration took action approving and authorizing for emergency use updated COVID-19 vaccines formulated to more closely target currently circulating variants and to provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.
Come and get it! If you can afford it 🤬
The #COVID #XBB #variant family #booster approved in the #US for everyone older than 5 and will start being available by the end of this week. Price will be an obscene $100 per dose.
#Health "#insurance" *should* cover the cost, in-network, but we know how insurance finds ways to not ensure our health.
Good news is "It is likely that the XBB.1.5 #monovalent #vaccines will raise #antibodies against all the circulating variants"

This is a good summary of where we are with the new #COVID #BoosterVaccine...
>> Anyone at High Risk should get it if they can! <<
(The age criteria for "high risk" is 75+ BTW.)
This is based on the important (but limited) criteria of preventing severe disease, #hospitalization, & #death.
The reasons for others to get the new vax are softer due to lack good research data. But there is some evidence that #vaccination in general may help *prevent* infection and #LongCovid. Non-trivial that!!
It is also important to point out that #vaccines are a tertiary intervention after common sense measures like staying home when you are sick, #testing & #isolation, and wearing a good quality #mask around strangers.
I will gladly get the new vaccine if/when it is offered!
The younger and healthier you are the less you need it, but don't forget the basics!

Okay all -- It's early days for figuring out how to help people with
Long COVID.
That said, a bit of promising research is starting to surface.
I'm taking the unusual step of emailing EVERYONE because at this point
many of you with anxiety and depression symptoms may have some Long
COVID (brain fog, sleep issues, the depression or anxiety itself!).
A good write-up about what Long COVID is can be found here. Yes, you
can had a trivial case of COVID-19 and still get Long COVID symptoms for
days, weeks, months, or years. Some cases of it are somewhat "mild":
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/index.html
*The bottom-line of the video is right at the end. For long COVID:
-- Get outside one hour per day.
-- May cover up if sensitive to sun (near UV rays will get through
clothing anyway)
-- Best if in nature (surrounded by green)
-- Do not look directly at sun (duh)
-- May wear a hat (near UV rays will get through clothing anyway)
-- Sitting in a sunny window no longer good enough (most glass now has
to be certified to block the rays we want)
He also promises to talk about how intermittent fasting may help in a
future video.

Click comment and tell the CDC that COVID boosters shouldn't be withheld from anyone who needs it. Tell them that age limits are unacceptable for a vaccine for an illness that infects and debilitates regardless of age.
As Covid-19 variants continue to outpace vaccines, and the risks of long Covid remain, the government needs to be prepared to act rapidly and at scale.
