I tested negative yesterday, chuffed about that.
Mrs is doing ok, we figure she's on day 7 and symptons have eased up a bit so thats very good news.
Great to hear Paul
Immunocompromised people need an additional dose: ACIP cliff notes
https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/immunocompromised-people-need-an
Loads of info in the article. But just a few points.
Yesterday, the FDA authorized immunocompromised an additional dose of the mRNA COVID19 vaccine.
Who needs to the additional dose?
Unfortunately, there is just not enough evidence for J&J recipients. So people with a J&J vaccine are not authorized for an additional dose.
Among those that got a mRNA vaccine before, these groups need an additional dose:

Unfortunately, there is just not enough evidence for J&J recipients. So people with a J&J vaccine are not authorized for an additional dose.
Among those that got a mRNA vaccine before, these groups need an additional dose:
- Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies
- Receipt of solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy
- Receipt of CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy)
- Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., DiGeorge, Wiskott-Aldrich syndromes)
- Advanced or untreated HIV infection
- Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (i.e., ≥20mg prednisone or equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, TNF blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory
Did anyone else receive this message on their phone?
Obviously women don't need to be vaccinated!!
Obviously women don't need to be vaccinated!!
I also got the message. If you look at the stats men are far behind in the vaccine stats. Therefore the call for men to get jabbed.
Suppose they did their own research

The thought of agreeing with Piers Morgan turns my stomach, but I agree with Piers Morgan.
Best mask ever!!!
Second jab done and dusted!!
Awesome
Well done! Got me second today as well - sometimes it’s not so bad being somewhat older
People with Past COVID-19 Benefit from Immunization
https://www.jwatch.org/na53802/2021/07/08/people-with-past-covid-19-benefit-immunization
Neutralizing antibody concentrations rose by about 100-fold after vaccination.
Some patients with past SARS-CoV-2 infections think they have been “naturally immunized” and won't benefit from COVID-19 vaccination. Two new studies add to the evidence showing that vaccination generates a more vigorous B and T cell response than does natural infection and that vaccination is particularly potent in people with previous SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Researchers evaluated people who were vaccinated (with an mRNA vaccine) after natural infection and people who were vaccinated but had no prior natural infection. In people who were vaccinated after natural infections, neutralizing antibodies against the beta variant were 25 times higher than after vaccination alone and 100 times higher than after natural infection alone. This result was remarkable, given that natural infections were almost never with the beta variant and that vaccines did not target the beta-variant spike protein. Memory B cells against SARS-CoV-2 were 5- to 10-fold higher when vaccination followed natural infection than after natural infection or vaccination alone.
