Scientific American: New Halloween 'Scariant' Variants and Boosting Your Immunity: COVID, Quickly, Episode 41 By Josh Fischman, Tanya Lewis, Jeffery DelViscio on October 25, 2022
Fischman: So how can people protect themselves?
Lewis: The best thing you can do is get your booster shot. The new bivalent booster protects you against both the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and Omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants, and it’s likely to provide some protection against the newer variants too. Yet as of a couple weeks ago, only about 5 percent of eligible people in the U.S. had gotten the shot.
Fischman: That leaves a lot of unprotected people.
Lewis: It does. And many young children haven’t even gotten vaccinated at all. But there’s still time to get one before the holidays—or turkey might not be the only thing being passed around the dinner table.
CNET: The Latest COVID Booster: Here's When and Why You Should Get One
https://www.cnet.com/health/medical/another-covid-booster-heres-when-and-why-you-should-get-one/
What's happening --
Updated boosters from Pfizer and Moderna target the BA.5 version of omicron and are available to everyone age 5 and up. Adults who don't want either can get a shot of Novavax for their first booster.
Why it matters --
The mutating virus has chipped away at earlier protection from vaccines and COVID-19 infections. Boosters restore much of that protection.
What it means for you --
Getting a booster right now is especially important if you're in your 60s or older, if you're at higher risk of severe COVID or if you were infected awhile back.
I know. But it's easy to forget (well, for me . . . I rarely visit these outlets) the amount of such propaganda, and how shameless it is, that most people are assaulted with.
Totally understandable, Fren. My question was more rhetorical than anything. But don't get me wrong -- I, too am dumbfounded at some of the still-ludicrous covid hysteria in some folks. Believe it or not, after all this time, a couple weeks ago I encountered my first mask-face shield-gloves trifecta when leaving a grocery store. Some people will be lost forever, and it's sad.
