    Hey, I'm still holding out hope for my Omega Variant prediction from Aug 2: https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/10582/what-s-the-next-best-outbreak-name

        You completely miss the point in true Axian manner. No one said Trump's bans were great or effective. But Biden slammed them as racist and now imposes his own.

        Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

          This is how the man was treated. Then they want to talk about uniting the country and what is best for the US. Shameless.

                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    @George-K Reminds me of @bachophile post about spread vs seriousness of disease… This may be less serious on average, but if it’s spread is wider it could be far worse than Delta.

                      @Jolly I would think that they could look at the particular spike proteins their particular vaccine targets and be able to say “oh 💩 “

                        If we weren't fed a line of crap, the vaccines should work fairly well against most variants, since about 95% have proteins the vaxx will recognize.

                          Dr. Uğur Şahin—the co-founder of BioNTech who helped develop Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine—told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday that, even if the Omicron variant leads to more breakthrough COVID-19 infections, he believes the vaccines will continue to protect against severe disease. “If a virus achieves immune escape, it achieves it against antibodies, but there is the second level of immune response that protects from severe disease—the T-cells,” he said.

                          The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control said yesterday that as of Tuesday morning, 44 Omicron variant cases had been confirmed by 11 European countries and that “all cases for which there is information available on severity were either asymptomatic or had mild symptoms.”

                          Only non-witches get due process.

                              That would be the same number with Delta or even Alpha.

                                Last study I saw, T-cells had at least eight months response. I suspect it's more.

                                  Antibodies and T cells are entirely different in terms of their jobs and how they do it.

                                    @aqua-letifer I get that, but the T-Cells still need to recognize the spike proteins on the infected cells in order to attack them. If they aren’t recognizing the proteins, then they are going to be less effective.

                                        Dr. Uğur Şahin—the co-founder of BioNTech who helped develop Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine—told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday that, even if the Omicron variant leads to more breakthrough COVID-19 infections, he believes the vaccines will continue to protect against severe disease. “If a virus achieves immune escape, it achieves it against antibodies, but there is the second level of immune response that protects from severe disease—the T-cells,” he said.

                                        IOW, he believes the Nu variant of Wuhan COVID -Xi 19 achieves immune escape against the current virus but they are hoping that the T-Cells will save the day. The question I have is if the T-Cells are working on the same recognition patterns as the antibodies, why do they think it will work? The ID of the spike proteins had to be very specific as there are necessary and beneficial spike proteins that you do not want to mess with. It’s a big part of the concern with the Merck pill. They have seen examples of stillborn and birth defects when administered to pregnant animals.

                                        Last study I saw, T-cells had at least eight months response. I suspect it's more.

                                        It’s not a matter of duration, they still need to recognize and attack the infected cells no recognition, no attack.
