ewsieg Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Lab leak theory certainly strengthened this week. https://www.science.org/content/article/nih-says-grantee-failed-report-experiment-wuhan-created-bat-virus-made-mice-sicker Quote NIH sent the 20 October letter to Representative James Comer (R–KY), ranking member of the House of Representatives oversight committee, along with a final progress report about the EcoHealth Alliance grant that NIH had funded and later canceled at then-President Donald Trump’s behest. (It was later reinstated but with conditions EcoHealth said it could not comply with.) The report describes studies conducted at WIV between June 2018 and June 2019 on recently collected bat coronaviruses circulating in the wild in China. Some examined whether their spike proteins, which the viruses use to attach to and infect cells, could when expressed in a previously known bat coronavirus called WIV1, bind to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 cell receptor in a mouse model.

ewsieg Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 For boosters, are they allowing mix and match yet or you're still going with the one you got originally? Quote

Sports_Freak Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I have an anti-vaxxer acquaintance who pulled a Karen at a local pharmacy. He took his daughter in for some type of vaccine and asked the pharmacy tech what was in it. She couldn't answer and he went off on her until she cried. The actual pharmacist came out and handed him the paper listing the ingredients. And that didn't stop him, he started screaming that there was mercury and formaldehyde (sp?) In the vaccine. The pharmacist called the cops on him because he was scaring the other customers...lmao. Yeah, I guess a mask must have cut off oxygen to his brain. I feel bad for his daughter, she'll probably be traumatized for life Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 what, did he go in with the intention of making a scene? if so, what a shitstain. Quote

Tigeraholic1 Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 In Indiana anyone can now get a booster. I think you just need to show your vax card to verify. Quote

Edman85 Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 So I am prediabetic* and got my booster today. Feel fine. *I read up on this some. I have one parent and three grandparents who have/had Type 2, so I started asking for a1c checks on my annual physical about 5 years ago after noticing that I got a bit tired after a day of not eating well. I've been able to keep the a1c from getting into Type 2 range, but my doctor recommended a booster when I asked if it counts. Anyways... the reading. Roughly 35% of American Adults have prediabetes (blood sugar high but still below diabetic range), and most (more than 80%) of those cases go undiagnosed because people don't get checked. There are some reputable studies/papers that make the case that same problems that make diabetics high risk for covid likely also apply to prediabetics. In other words, it is possible a lot of people don't know they are high risk but are. It is also possible a lot of people may be booster eligible without knowing it. Get your a1c checked at your next physical and stay on top of it. Quote

No family history, not obese, very active physically and I ate fairly healthy. No idea how I can down with it. It's under control now but it is a nasty disease if unchecked. The excess glucose will eventually cause major problems. Edited October 27, 2021 by Stanley70 1 Quote
