Dot.. dot.. dot..

Did you even finish reading that?

"Our results show that all presently circulating omicron subvariants evade neutralisation by vaccine-induced antibodies with comparably high efficiency, suggesting that increased antibody evasion is not the reason for the current expansion of BA.2 in several countries. Since currently available vaccines provided robust protection against early omicron isolates circulating in South Africa from Nov 15 to Dec 7, 2021, which was likely to be BA.1, our results suggest that this protection should extend to all omicron subvariants."

Yes. I did (see text in bold). I also read the paragraphs before, in context explaining the BA.2 relationship with the S protein.

"BA.2.12.1 contains about 20 of the same mutations seen in the original Omicron, plus seven new ones"
"the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.5, BA.4, BA.2.13, and BA.2.12.1 subvariants include the L452 mutation"
https://www.verywellhealth.com/omicron-sub-subvariants-5235800

Tell you what. I'm sick of arguing with you. Again, if you were correct, then anyone vaccinated or already sick with BA.1 or 2 should not be re-infected before the end of the school year or over the summer, correct? Let's see if that's true. If infections drop to zero at MCPS, you win! How's that? See how easy that was!

That’s not at all what it means. Prior infection or vaccination has never provided durable immunity against reinfection. They provide protection against severe illness. As your own link said, the new variants of omicron look very similar to the Omicron variants in terms of immune evasion, so prior infection or vaccination should continue to protect against severe illness.

But of course people will keep getting infected. There’s never been a path to Covid zero. What we see right now is likely what we will continue to see. It’s just people will stop paying attention over time, just like most of us don’t really pay attention to the flu besides getting vaccinated.

No one is expecting zero covid but just expecting basic precautions given the surges until its better under control.

There’s no reason to think this is a “surge.” This is what we can expect endemic Covid case rates to look like.

I'm the one who predicted back in Sept/Oct that there would be a winter surge, btw. Enjoy your weekend!

Why would it affect graduation?

Because she’s still in a 2020, before vaccines, mindset about Covid.

Vaccines are not stopping transmission so you need a new talking point. MCPS will not make any changes with graduation. They stopped caring. It was obvious there would be a few surges this year and it was shameful on how MCPS handled it.

Not just MCPS. No one cares.

And rightly so. Except for Kensington Dad Accuser. It was all fun and games for me before. Now I’m really starting to feel bad for her. She’s getting left behind and it’s clearly killing her. It must be so hard.

Email from Churchill’s principal tonight said 5.6% of the school has COVID.

Dashboard has less reported, however the dashboard says 124 cases which is 5% of the school.

Just like you only get the flu once in your life? Or one cold?

Antibodies wane over time. Very roughly speaking, the immune system remembers how to produce them. After an exposure, your immune system ramps up production. Your body has a head start after an infection, but how much of a head start decreases over time.

This paper shows some of the antibodies don't work as well against the newer strains. The practical significance of that isn't fully clear, since your body's immune system adapts, and there are a lot of parts to it.

Based on previous variants, we have every reason to think prior infection/vaccination will continue to provide substantial protection. Your body may not have as much of a head start as before against these variants, so it's certainly possible, if not likely, that you'll be more likely to experience symptoms, but we don't know much of a practical difference these new variants make.

Reason to think and reality are two different things. Everyone I know who got it in April/May also had it earlier in the year.

Do you see the irony about posting this statement right after posting the study about the protection offered from prior infection or vaccination?

You probably don’t…

These people have COVID brain damage. Notice how they're still talking about the imaginary anti vaccine person who's afraid of covid.

"No one cares anymore" -= "I don't read the news anymore because if I did I'd have to face the fact that I've deliberately exposed my kids repeatedly to a contagious virus that will have lifelong effects. How do I live with myself? By mocking people who wear masks and calling them anti vaxxers."

"Oh, and in my free time, I am also a 'medical' professional."

Lol. Why? We haven't been sick, we're having a great time. We mask in crowds. That's it.

I feel bad for you, puppy.

Why do I bad for you? Where should I start…you have reading comprehension issues. You are scientifically illiterate. You think you can outrun Covid. You think you are smarter than everyone else. You have an opinion about Covid that hardly anyone shares. You call people puppy. The list goes on…

I don't. You've confused about eight people with me--deliberately misinterpreting their posts on top of that, if we're going to talk about reading comprehension... Where was it you went to college again? I'm sure you're dying to say.

And if you don't want people to call you puppy? Stop whining like one.

Here’s your problem. You’re getting your information from the news instead of from actual experts. There’s no evidence of long-term effects of Covid beyond the small rates we see with other viruses. Though, I’m sure you don’t actually know that, since you’d actually have to read more than just the headlines of news articles. And we already know you don’t even read the first paragraph of the articles you link to.
