Hah! It was freezing in PA last night. Way too cold for thinking about shorts. 
No, I just want to avoid the horrible rush hour drive to the same place when there’s a much closer alternative.

This vlogger broke down Nevada loosening their covid restrictions. One of the highlights from the video is that strippers have to get vaccinated with at least one dose two weeks before working at a club. It would be funny to hear about a stripper attempting to get around this rule by claiming a religious exception

Why would stripping and religion necessarily be mutually exclusive? Because some white Christians are uptight assholes, so they must all be?
Also, I’d guess that for a demographic, strippers and other sex workers are likely far more on board with these kinds of public health measures since their profession puts them in close contact to a number of individuals on a very regular and consistent basis…

More on that.
“These were people that weren’t necessarily appearing, based upon their symptoms, to be needing to go to hospital or an ambulance to be called. So it’s not that people were ignoring symptoms from what I’ve read … these were people who did have stable conditions and then deteriorated very quickly,” Huyer said.

They really need to give this up soon. If we aren’t going to get to high levels of vaccination here, we’d still be increasing our safety by getting as many people vaccinated as possible throughout the world.

Yes, because that cycles around everywhere.
The 1.5 million doses from the U.S. were part of an order of 20 million the Trudeau government purchased, but President Joe Biden’s administration is preventing exports from the U.S. until America has an adequate supply.
Biden allowed for the 1.5 million doses to be shipped in March and said Thursday he was hoping to have more shipments to Canada soon, but there is no clear timeline on those deliveries. The American Food and Drug administration has yet to approve AstraZeneca’s vaccine and doses produced there are currently going unused.

It would be acceptable to me, that if in our rush to vaccinate everyone, we forgot to vaccinate Ron Johnson.

If, in our rush, we forget to feed him, well, these things happen.

In contrast, the ACIP heard modeling data today that suggested what would happen if use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine resumed. Among women ages 18 to 49, the vaccine would prevent 12 COVID-19 deaths and 127 COVID-related ICU admissions per one million women vaccinated in that age group in a six-month period. Among women ages 50 and above, the vaccine would prevent 593 deaths and 1,292 ICU admissions.
“I did not object to the recommendation; I objected to the absence of any kind of guidance from us,” Sarah Long, ACIP voting member and professor of pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine said directly after her “no” vote. “This is an age group that is most at risk [of TTS] that is getting a vaccine predominately to save other people’s lives and morbidity—not their own… I’m very sorry that we haven’t chosen to put up front the knowledge that we have that this is unique, it’s clustered, it’s almost certainly related to the vaccine, and there are options.”
I don’t know if that’s true or important: I suspect that providers will be on the lookout for people with low platelet counts where practicable, but I think given where the J&J fits into the national vaccination strategy, there very much needs to be the flexibility to give it to women (and men) under 50.
