Random DIY mixing and More

@Skeebo Glad you are better! I did get my last booster. I still have problems with smell/taste. An example is onion. Last night it tasted like sugar. On the other hand, last week at work I could smell perfume on a nurse for the first time. It's really weird. I have other long hauler's symptoms from the original covid infection. (Personal girl stuff).

Ivermectin obliterates 97 percent of Delhi cases

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-desert-review-bias/

Desert Review is well known for publishing a lot of misinformation. There are many opinion columnists there who tend to publish misinformation regarding Covid-19, especially regarding the use of ivermectin as an effective and safe treatment for Covid-19.

Many pro-Ivermectin opinion articles are written by Justus R. Hope, MD., who admits this name is a pseudonym (fake name) underneath the articles he writes.

The Desert Review generally reports local news responsibly and with minimal bias; however, op-eds frequently promote dangerous pseudoscience and media conspiracy theories without evidence.



Meanwhile... actual science debunks wild ivermectin claims. "In spite of several clinical studies, no reliable evidence is available to suggest that hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin are effective against COVID-19."

No data available to suggest a link between India’s reduction of COVID-19 cases and the use of ivermectin



ETA: Borno, this thread isn't the place for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. Please take it to The Outside. Good luck.

I read an article the other day that said that after 4 months the pfizer vaccine goes down to somewhere in the 40% range as far as preventing someone from catching it but still maintains the 90+% ability to keep you from getting really sick. I'm going to get the booster as soon as they say I can.

We got the Johnson & Johnson, waiting on booster news also.

The FDA will be holding a meeting on the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) booster shot on Oct 15th. Moderna booster meeting is on the 14th.

Here: FDA to Hold Advisory Committee Meetings to Discuss Emergency Use Authorization for Booster Doses and COVID-19 Vaccines for Younger Children

The meetings are streamed on YouTube. When they did the initial EUA hearings for the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines those were also broadcast on one of the CSPAN channels. I watched those. They were very informative and educational.

Do you know if it's true that the Pfizer vaccine is the more effective one out of the three? If so it just seems odd that it would be the first one approved for a booster..

My wife just left to get hers.

All three vaccines have proven to be very effective at keeping us out of hospitals and preventing severe illness. Honestly, I don't believe one is more effective over the others. Pfizer was just the first to apply for booster use. Moderna and J&J only recently applied for their vaccine boosters. Moderna used more mRNA in their original 2 dose vaccine versus Pfizer. J&J differs in that it utilizes an adenovirus vaccine versus mRNA.

I need to make more chocolate mousse croissant. Am nearly out. The more I vape chocolate mousse the more I like it. It's a kick azz flavor!

 

[charlie1465]

Yeah, got mine a couple of weeks ago so I'm at maximum protection now.

Me too.

Yep...it's kind of a full flavoured choc taste with light background notes which makes it very versatile for lots of different flavour combinations. It may be my first and last chocolate....vaping it right now in a chocolate float recipe....can't remember if it was Zazie's blog or somewhere else....not mine though

Think I have most of the VTA chocolates and have been very impressed with them.

Have you tried their Dark Chocolate? It's the best dark choc flavor I've ever had. I recently bought their newer Swiss Chocolate. I still need to mix something with that one. Will probably add some to my croissant base soon.

Yes.

No the mousse is my only chocolate but if the others are good I'll consider it. It looks like VT make the best....I heard a lot of bad chocolate anecdotes so haven't been keen.

Enjoy your evening Charlie.

And you enjoy your day too

In the article I mentioned it said that it appeared that the Moderna was actually better at preventing infection long term. It said that it's effectiveness didn't decrease as much as the pfizer over time. I can't say if it's true but just what I read.

That's what I originally read too. But then a friend who is a doctor told me the pfizer shot had better efficacy, so now I trust no one.

I was watching some show the other day and they are releasing a new mode of application for the vaccine. It looks like a clear computer chip with little prongs. My first thought when seeing it was, "Oh boy, the denialists are going to have a field day with this".

I wonder if BCF is gonna have a Founder day sale?

I would question your friend. After the second dose the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has an efficacy of 88%. The Moderna vaccine has an efficacy of 93% after second dose. Those numbers are very well known across the global scientific and medical communities who know these vaccines.

That does not mean Moderna is better than Pfizer. Both are highly effective at keeping folks out of hospital and keeping severe illness at bay. Both vaccines are highly efficacious.

Efficacy is the degree to which a vaccine prevents disease. Effectiveness refers to how well it performs in the real world.

Moderna's shot contains 100 micrograms of vaccine, more than three times the 30 micrograms in the Pfizer shot. That is not to say Moderna is better than the Pfizer as both are initially better than 88% (Moderna 93% / Pfizer 88%).

The effectiveness of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine at preventing infection by the coronavirus dropped to 47% from 88% six months after the second shot. Yet, you are still well protected from hospitalization and severe illness at 47%. All current global scientific data very clearly demonstrates this.

Moderna claims that after six months their efficacy is still at 93%. We will know for certain when their presentation comes on Oct 14th.
