The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
The release shared Monday didn’t mention whether any of the kids in the trial experienced myocarditis, a rare heart condition seen in a small number of adolescents and young adults.
Why would a press release timed to offset the market impact of the FDA's booster bullshit mention that?

I can't find a number for how frequent myocarditis is following covid vaccination, but it's likely that 2,200 kids isn't enough for it to manifest in the study.
FDA or CDC are going to have to make a decision based on how likely it's been up until now.

Yea man. I think you finally got there. It’s a process, but over time it’s why you’ll probably live to 85 rather than 45.
But what about those anti science people on the FDA panel? Will us young people get our boosties or not?!
Young?
Covid sees basically everyone as young
The FDA was clear that something magical happens at age 65 that does not occur at 64 1/2. You just don't understand Science™ and should follow it on Twitter.

I see a really good marketing opportunity for Adidas and an Ultraboost(er) 21 release. Maybe have tiny veils of vaccine at the end of the laces. The upper could be made from recycled masks. WE HAVE TO WIN HEARTS AND MINDS.

like no one's ever had to make a practical decion before.
I magically need a colonoscopy at 50. I can magically drive at 16. I can magically handle alcohol at 21.

Serious question that I know might sound troll-ish. What happens to vaccinated people's obligation to mask, etc., once the vaccine has been made available to children? Especially if the rates of uptake aren't relatively high?
This isn't a question for spike only, but I know spike has emphasized the lack of availability to children as a reason why vaccinated people need to continue following certain restrictions, so once it's available at what point does that change? And how much, if any, is based on the vaccination rates?

Interesting question. I’m fine masking in public to protect unvaccinated kids with ignorant parents, since the decision is being made for them. But to an extent I suppose… if it’s like six months after availability to kids, and there’s still a ton unvaccinated, it gets into that how much burden must the vaccinated bear territory that many are feeling now. But also, at the end of the day, it’s about trying to minimize infection so the virus can truly become endemic, the world can move on, and this godforsaken thread can disappear into the back pages of RM.

Those aren't even straw men, they are like soap-bubble men.
Unlike those silly examples, we know what is significant here and have the ability to objectively measure it... the level of anti-bodies in the blood. Same data Pfizer presented. Why not use the actual scientific data to make a decision point vs. some arbitrary age that endangers a large percentage of the population (~40-64.999 year olds)?

We’re taking about tens on millions of people, and it’s no secret that vaccinations have been a challenge to the pharmacy chains, etc. So could it be possible that the real concern is making sure higher risk well past 65 have access to boosters first, and the 65 cut off is leaving plenty of margin? Then you approve under 65 once enough time has passed.

Think of it like airplane boarding in groups.
That might be part of the CDC recommendation, but that shouldn't be how FDA approves these.
To my "straw men," waning antibodies doesn't ACTUALLY mean waning immunity. You can be immune to a disease with undetectable levels of antibody. You could get a booster, and it does nothing to raise the antibody levels.
Most likely, the data shows better response based on age, or more waning of antibodies based on age, so they had to make a decision as to at what age it ceases to be helpful or most likley, cost-effective enough, to give a booster.

I thought Fauci has already flipped on boosters? Why are we putting the cart before the horse here anyway? Let's just push forward with a new plan like vaccinated ovum
They can't give the vaccine away at this point. You don't need to set up airport style logistics Spike.
It’s logistics and readily available supply. For example, when my sister was looking into a booster, Walgreens said they wouldn’t have any on-site for a week or so. Since demand has dropped off, they’re storing this stuff or sending it overseas.
Then there’s the administrative side - logging third doses correctly in the various computer systems. Stuff like that.
