      If you have older relatives and friends (50+), do remind them that we have shingles vaccine: Shingrix.

        This is a good point. I do tend to get my vaccine shots (Covid and flu) on Fridays to account for recovery days.

          Ok, you're missing a bit here. The "sugar stripping" happens in the lab, during the production of the immunogen, which would then later applied as a vaccine. From there the vaccine induces a response from the immune system, creating antibodies which are specific to the highly conserved part of the stalk structures on corona viruses. As a result one's immune system is prepared for when a corona virus shows up at some point after the vaccination.

          Ah. Yes. I was thinking the sugar stripping happened in the body. So this more a vaccine enhancement tool.

                It includes the latest release, but it's the same one included on last year's flu vaccine.

                I think the devs may be quietly winding down support over the next few years.

                  Not really a valid assumption. Most vaccines are not available at tourist clinics, though maybe they should be, seems like the demand is increasing.

                      We'll have an fda, once they rip it to sheds they'll stock it with whoever they want to and then say look we fixed the fraud, listen to these guys now. Having a government agency that can say "no drug that competes with an oligarchs drug you can't be approved" or "yes, you can shove unproven computer tech into people brains" is far to powerful to throw completely away.

                      They'll start giving returning Americans titer tests and locking up people with immunity up

                        There are people who have genuine medical reasons to not take vaccines (e.g. an allergy to a common ingredient) or who are so immunocompromised that a vaccine won't keep them alive, and they rely on other people getting vaccinated to avoid dying. It's not just antivaxers who antivaxers kill.

                          To my knowledge, there is nothing indicating this is the plan at this time.

                          And I sincerely doubt we'll "ever" have that policy. Because the people most likely to go on leisure (or even work) international trips are generally middle/upper middle class who need to be kept placated to make sure they still post memes on reddit but secretly cheer that the fbi is going to protect their teslas.

                          Whether other countries are going to block our access is a different conversation but is also unlikely.

                          That said: Anyone who CAN get out should work on getting out.

                          doubt we’ll “ever” have that policy.

                          They likely won't do it just to do it; driving forces would be required.

                          If we reach a point where there are serious side effects of lacking engineers, doctors, and nurses due to expatriation, they'll stop allowing travel. It'll come as part of a martial law crackdown.

                          In the long run, people won't put up with it; in the short run.... would you REALLY put it past them?

                            Coronaviruses are not the only cause for what is considered the "common cold". I remember that some Rhinoviruses, Adenoviruses and I think a forth family of viruses also cause symptoms that are counted as a cold. It's kind of a catch all term.

                              You assume that the republicans and oligarchs actually care about the US being a thriving economy or even country. They don't. They are ripping the copper out of the wall (and the gold out of fort knox...).

                              Which will basically get it to the same state as Russia and China. The vast majority of the population will be in a really bad way. But those who benefit will likely stick around as they can feel good about being so much better off than everyone around them. And, more importantly the people who CAN consider international travel (temporary or permanent) won't be incentivized to.

                              Like I said. I can definitely see a path to a North Korea level of lockdown. But we have the template for what "works" and it is Russia and China.

                                    Necessary to protect people with weak immune systems, certainly. But we rarely get better than 60% of the population flu vaxed. It is still vital to deter higher instances of hospitalization and to blunt the rate of spread.

                                        it’s not just antivaxers who antivaxers kill.

                                        Reminded of the family whose kid died of measles saying "Our other kids survived, so it was fine".

                                        That young child wasn't the one who had been deluded with misinformation.
