Exposure to humorous memes about anti-vaxxers boosts intention to get a COVID-19 vaccine, study finds
A series of studies revealed that exposure to sarcastic memes about anti-vaxxers increased UK residents’ intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The researchers suggest that the humorous memes were able to bypass the typical defense processes of people who are vaccine-hesitant.

Best way to get an anti Vaxxx clown vaxxed is by hitting them in da jaw. When faced with a pen prick or a black eye and lumped up face they will choose wisely.

TL;DR: reinfections are more common with Omicron subvariants and cause a stepped increase in all cause mortality, so your best bet is to try and avoid infection through all available NPI’s.
Been on vacation in San Diego this week and the lack of masking during this surge is frightening. People are sleepwalking right into future of largely preventable immune compromise.

You’ve been paying attention right? There’s no long term immunity from anything you just said.

So following recent reports of a polio outbreak in the UK we have this:
Really, I despair.

I was talking to someone about Cov2 and they mentioned polio was the closest virus in terms of varying responses to infection. Polio has an 87% asymptomatic rate.

That's probably fair - some kids recovered and some ended up in an iron lung for the rest of their lives - so it was seen to be appropriate to immunise the population and I wouldn't disagree with that.

I've seen enough people with polio who had a deformed leg to happily pop a booster if it comes back to that.

Polio did not mutate like Cov2 so it was able to be dealt with through a vaccine. This one really feels like we will have to deal with it for a while.

I have not. What’s the plan keeping taking shots and shutting down economies?

What’s everyone’s thoughts on getting a 9 month old who doesn’t go to daycare vaccinated?
My gf and I completely disagree on this one and it’s frustrating.

Yeah, it’s as black and white as that.
Layered mitigations - common hygiene and staying home if you’re sick are the most important.

Isn’t the United States the only country that’s vaccinating
?I’d wait until some other countries are vaccinating babies. Gone on this long and your kid isn’t in daycare.

I'd get my kid Vaccinated if it is an option. Too many scums out there lying about being Vaccinated. All it takes is one person showing up to your house and getting your kid sick.

I’d like to understand the argument against it. Has the child been infected before? If recently, I could understand waiting, but if not you want the child’s first exposure to be a safe/controlled one. That age group has suffered some of the worst outcomes, comparatively.

Have you guys had covid at all yet??

This is my biggest fear in life at the moment.
Having a kid with someone and then disagreeing on how to protect them.
I'd say if you are able to, consult 2-3 different pediatricians and get their thoughts. The fact that the kid doesn't go to daycare doesn't mean a whole lot because the kid comes in contact with you and your girl on a regular basis and I'm sure you guys have varying levels of exposure.
Best of luck to you!

How did discussion on the other typical immunizations on the schedule go?

I feel like the best option is to wait. We don’t have company, she isn’t in day care, we hardly have social lives.
For me it just doesn’t make sense to rush to it when it JUST came out. I know that we have been okay, I know people who’s kids had Covid and recovered with no issues. But nobody as of right now can say the vaccine is 100 safe for younger kids and nobody can’t say it won’t have any negative long term effects.
I read a stat today that said 17% of parents said they’d do it like right away, and 37 percent were open to it but wanted to wait it out. Which I personally feel makes the most sense.

She got all of the other immunizations and it was never a debate/discussion.
Also at her last doctors appt, they said this coming one would be a shot free appt so she doesn’t just associate the doctors with shots. The last one was not pleasant.
