This is largely irrelevant at this point because most healthcare places are lead by sane people who have enacted their own mandates way before federal gov.danke0 wrote: ↑Nov 29, 2021https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/missouri-federal-court-halts-vaccine-mandate-for-healthcare-workers-in-10-states/
Missouri federal court halts vaccine mandate for some healthcare workers in 10 states.
It's become a political thing because people don't have trust in our institutions. Rightfully so I think.DTGstl314 wrote: ↑Nov 29, 2021That, and you (royal you, not you specifically) could just get vaccinated at literally any f**king Walgreens, CVS, Schnucks, Dierbergs, Walmart, whatever, a task which will consume about 20 minutes of your life.

Sorry, not mad at you, just venting.
Hopefully that winds up being true, but that statement has to be tempered by a very contradictory statement made by the CEO of Moderna...pattimagee wrote: ↑Nov 30, 2021https://www.wsj.com/articles/omicron-un ... 1638286176
Omicron Unlikely to Cause Severe Illness in Vaccinated People, BioNTech Founder Says
Some good Omicron news.
“Our belief [that the vaccines work against Omicron] is rooted in science: If a virus achieves immune escape, it achieves it against antibodies, but there is the second level of immune response that protects from severe disease—the T-cells,” he said.
Moderna’s CEO predicted Tuesday that existing coronavirus vaccines would be much less effective at combating omicron compared with previous variants of the virus, spooking financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia as scientists rush to learn about the new variant.
Stéphane Bancel told the Financial Times that it would take months for pharmaceutical companies to manufacture new variant-specific doses to address omicron, as public health officials and vaccine makers worldwide examine the tangible impact of the largely unknown variant. The spread of omicron in South Africa, which was among the first countries to identify the variant and is preparing for a potential surge in infections, caused Bancel to suggest that existing vaccines might need to be modified in 2022.
“There is no world, I think, where [the effectiveness] is the same level … we had with delta,” Bancel said, referring to the highly contagious variant that was first detected in India in late 2020.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is already here.gone corporate wrote: ↑Dec 01, 2021CNBC: U.S. confirms nation’s first case of omicron Covid variant in California

What's the over/under of the first case in STL? I'm going to say Wednesday next week, 12/8.
Get your booster shots, y'all.
Mine is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at Walgreens online. My girlfriend got hers a few days ago as a walk in at CVS.
Did the same last weeksymphonicpoet wrote: ↑Dec 02, 2021Did a walk in at St. Louis Hills Pharmacy on Chippewa. The pharmacist is a friend of a friend. It's a pretty simple operation, probably mostly delivery, but it was clean, the staff was pleasant and skilled, there was no wait, and they had plenty of stock. And you can't argue with supporting a local business.
Second U.S. omicron case reported in Minnesota - some guy who just spent 2 days in NYC at a convention at Javits Center. Gonna be a ton of people who were likely exposed. Yikes.gone corporate wrote: ↑Dec 01, 2021CNBC: U.S. confirms nation’s first case of omicron Covid variant in California

And now we have five cases in New York state. And another one in Colorado. Looking like your one week prediction for STL is going to happen.DTGstl314 wrote: ↑Dec 02, 2021Second U.S. omicron case reported in Minnesota - some guy who just spent 2 days in NYC at a convention at Javits Center.
