Vaccine/Antibody updates

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Just release it and then run 60 second ads with all of the side effects.   They'll be fine, as they have people looking at the sky, running fingers through flowers, roller skating or drinking ice tea.  Muzak is also necessary.

Post of the day.

Perfect!

I just love those drug ads. "So it'll clear up my skin, but might make my testicles fall off? Sign me up!"

[Warriors4ever]

When I see those ads I am like, I am never putting this in my body!

Crap, forgot to add that Big Pharma might be able to help if you can't afford your medication....  lmao.

FYI - If you donate blood through the Red Cross, they will test for antibodies and give you the results.

I am donating this afternoon.

Shocked you found a time. My mother had to drive up to Fox lake to get a time that wasn't months out.

It was a drive thru testing site in Madison. I waited less than 15 minutes in line.

It seems to be totally regional.  I couldnt find time for months in SE WI.  Meanwhile, I have 2 friends in Columbus and 1 in LA who got donated blood within days and got their antibody results.

Only an hour or two to Madison.  Worth the drive!

I do not feel safe with the vaccine being rushed out.  I'm not going to take it. I'd rather continue to wear a mask and social distance until there is more evidence of no awful side effects.

Getting charged $10,984 for an $8 antibody test...

Yah capitalism!

I really wouldn't call the health insurance industry a shining example of capitalism.

I have never seen anything like this in terms of drug/vaccine approval...but then again I have never seen anything like the disconnect between the scientists and the decisionmakers.

Cuomo is forming a panel to review federally authorized vaccines, citing concerns the process has become politicized.

I have previously said I won't get a vaccine unless it has been approved by both FDA and the EU's drug regulatory agency, so I get where he is coming from...but it seems like Cuomo is trying to build a pretty complex review process on the fly....

[Warriors4ever]

I'm not taking anything approved right before the election. When Dr. Murphy from Northwestern announces on WGN-TV that it's good to go, I will be there.

MFer coulda found the vaccine in the time it took to type all that out.

I thought this was an interesting view into Operation Warp Speed.  I'm not disappointed that the military is involved, especially when it comes to logistics.

Various news articles out there on the side effects of two of the vaccines in trials.  I just had a flu vaccine 3 weeks ago with zero side effects.  In terms of the COVID ones,  high fevers,  headaches, nausea.  Typically after the second shot.

Good news is most people feel better 24-36 hours later.

To be fair if that's the worst that happens and could get things relatively back to the way they should be I'd do it. Could be much worse in terms of side effects.

Military should be involved. They are very good at this.

They also should have been put in charge of PPE, ventilators, and other needed equipment. Lots of lives could have been saved.
