{COVID-19} Vaccination Injection Interjections VIII - Who cares at this point

[NynJa]

Canada (https://health-infobase.canada.ca/co...-19-cases.html):

728,415 (69.6%) were unvaccinated at the time of their episode date
43,754 (4.2%) were not yet protectedas their by the vaccine, as their episode date occurred less than 14 days after their first dose
54,772 (5.2%) were only partially vaccinated, as their episode date occurred either 14 days or more after their first dose or less than 14 days after their second dose
219,445 (21.0%) were fully vaccinated, as their episode date occurred 14 days or more after their second dose

... these stats also add up to 100% of the cases so it shows the full data lol

pre-omicron the fully vaccinated only made up about 5% of the total cases

You're gonna get a booster every 3 months and you're gonna like it, otherwise you're an anti-vaxer!

i'm gonna get the boosters regardless... statistically they just aren't helping a ton in canada

also boosters have only been in canada for a grand total of 4 weeks so i dunno where that alberta data is even coming from... that's 2 weeks of potential data and cases have literally never been higher in this country, and that includes before the vaccine ever existed

i have to give myself injections twice a day. it sucks, but it's better than being ded.

I remember my mom telling me about all the practice they had to do on each other when she went back to school for phlebotomy. Can’t remember how many sticks it was. Something like 60 iirc. That would be hell.

The vaccines lose efficacy over time, so that 3% dataset could have received dose #2 anywhere between 2 weeks prior all the way to something like 6 months prior. My dose dates are early July and mid-Aug, and I wasnt rushing out to get either one (that whole needle phobia I covered). 3% chance to catch covid with an old stagnant double dose or 0.8% with a fresh booster. I guess its "just a shit ton of breakthrough cases"? Where is the line between "its a shit ton of breakthrough cases" and "the current vaccine in circulation doesnt seem to be as effective against Omicron"?


btw, I just confirming I have this right. 10,314 infections (A) over 1,218,194 boosted people (B). The formula to turn that number into "cases per 100,000 people" would be A/(B/100,000)? It seems right to me.

Same. Used to give blood often but it's hard to find the time to drive out there to give it.

If it was really convenient I'd do it as often as they allow.

My veins are massive and thick and right at the surface. Nurses and techs get so turned on and excited they usually miss the first time.

[Zealot]

Because i absolutely fucking hate needles. I lose 5 pounds in sweat every time I need to have blood drawn or an injection.

I'm not sure what your experience has been but COVID vaccine shots have been by far the least painful shots I've ever had.

I didnt even feel mine but both times the people before/after me made an audible bitch noise and said it hurt lol

I assume the most painful shots are the gunshots that are part of regular everyday American life

[Andalusian girls]

Before the vaccine was available my PC Doc wanted me to get the newer pneumonia vax they have now and a flu shot. I agreed to the pneumonia and figured I would wait about a week to go and get the flu shot. Before I knew it the nurse came in and gave me both.. one in each arm. For the next few days I would have taken morphine if you had given it to me. >.>
