I'd like to see the data that informs their case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would have been nicer to have a lower case rate. Booster effect really coming in as well as you can see with the first graphic above.

I got both jags into the same arm. Ā My turn tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. There seems to be a mix of getting the jab in one or both arms. I initially heard that they would only do one in each arm and then started hearing about others getting it in one arm and then others getting a choice. Think I would prefer one arm given how sore it was with the first two Covid vaccines. I had AZ the last time so it is making me worry more because I have no experience of Pfizer or Moderrna. On the other hand I know these are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand I know these are better. I got them both in my left arm, i'm glad i did. I had strong reactions to both AZ jags, especially the first one and got moderna this time, it was the most passive reaction i had out of all 3. The year before i got a shit load of vaccinations for Kenya and a sore arm and mild cold like symptoms for 24 hours was the worst I had. I'm sure you will be fine.

phart Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Genomic sequencing picked up a potential nasty one, only 10 cases in Africa so far but has a lot of mutations. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reckon this was a super long infection from someone with HIV immune deficiency. It's 10 cases. It has to out perform delta which is now at like 99.5% of all cases sequenced. Also it might cause milder outcomes. Also if the spike protein changes enough to evade immune response it could also change too much for it to be as contagious as it's the spike protein that made it so transmissable. I'm just demonstrating how actual variants are detected through surveilance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's been detected in three counties so far. SA, Botswana and one case in Hong Kong, who had recently returned from SA. Not many cases though.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThistleWhistle Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Thought this was a decent summation: expert comments about two SARS-CoV-2 variants, one in Botswana (B.1.1529) and one in the US (B.1.628) | Science Media Centre On the B.1.1529 lineage in Botswana: Prof Francois Balloux, Professor of Computational Systems Biology and Director, UCL Genetics Institute, UCL, said: āB.1.1529 is a new lineage that has been found in Botswana that carries an unusual constellation of mutations.Ā Given the large number of mutations it has accumulated apparently in a single burst, it likely evolved during a chronic infection of an immunocompromised person, possibly in an untreated HIV/AIDS patient. āIt is difficult to know what to make of the carriage of both P681H and N679K.Ā It is a combination we see only exceptionally rarely.Ā I suspect it is generally not āstableā, but it might be so, in combination with other mutations/deletions. āI would definitely expect it to be poorly recognised by neutralising antibodies relative to Alpha or Delta.Ā It is difficult to predict how transmissible it may be at this stage. āSo far, four strains have been sequenced in a region of Sub-Saharan with reasonable surveillance in place.Ā It may be present in other parts of Africa. āFor the time being, it should be closely monitored and analysed, but there is no reason to get overly concerned, unless it starts going up in frequency in the near future.ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Aye, twitter is still like a foreign language to me. Maybe it is a lizard language designed to provide all the information, but in a format that normal humans, like me, can't understand? Maybe it's designed to find out who is part lizard and who still needs to be converted? In that respect the COVID jags haven't worked on me. So far anyway. I need boosters.
