I couldnt make an antibody if I got a shot every day. Infusions are of interest, therefore.
That certainly would be important info to know.Quote:

You would need to be dosed once every week or two to ensure that you have sufficient anti-COVID IgG available to prevent infection.Quote:

So the argument on prevention is past and cannot stand up with current vaccines.
What they are now saying is that they believe they reduce the symptoms. Hard to prove a negative but I think last data showed much less hospitalizations of the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated. not sure on deaths but it would stand to reason that would be true too.
As a fomer Breakthrough person (J&J taken on August 9, 2021, 1st symptoms on We. October 6. I never had chest congestion, maybe a little heaviness after other symptoms (and still some today). Mine was slight fever, body aches (bad) and headache (continued for over a month). I was pretty much useless for about 7 days. Tired for 2 weeks afterwards.
I have hopes for the monoclonal and the pill from Pfizer. The Vaccines will never be universally accepted.
I don’t mind arguing with KY fans. I don’t mind arguing with dukies. But reading a cynical dukie bash and mock KY fans on whom he makes his living, well, that is not in my dna. I do not wish him ill, but I have no desire to contribute to the legend in his mind.
Ouch!Quote:

You should fit right in as with the flying back and fourth you can vote in 2 states and if you play your cards right you may be ale to vote multiple times in each state. You will also have a Florida neighbor that can give you some tips.Quote:

^Yep, in spite of the eastern Kentucky admonition to "vote early and vote often," I'll stick with one vote at a time.
That is a wise choice, but if you ever change your mind give Charlie a call.Quote:
