The promise of mRNA in 2020 was that they’d be able to release variant specific boosters in highly compressed timelines (a month I seem to recall)
By the time the bivalent booster came out BA.4 and 5 were minority strains. I got the shot and smoked by covid 2 weeks later when immunity was supposedly at its highest. Still it’s better than nothing.
It’s disturbing that people are foregoing their boosters and the associated benefit even though “vaxxed and relaxed” is our official covid response policy. And now even those are less efficacious than we once thought and are being foregone by people because two shots meant “fully vaccinated”
It’s telling that the majority of covid deaths in the US now are “fully vaccinated” individuals. What does that mean? 2 shots?
I live in amerikkka my droogie our entire lives are being fucked by neoliberalism
Nowhere to me is it felt more keenly than being forced to interact with the Byzantine nightmare that is the American healthcare system
Once I got violently ill with the stomach flu and had to go to an urgent care, turns out that particular urgent care was an emergency room and billed accordingly… $3000 for a bag of saline and a shot of antiemetic :amerikkka-clap:
politicians gonna push for privatization instead of increasing resources, even though care is as bad or worse in amerikkka but also costs a fortune… if you can even get it (rural gang)
