Is MODERNA the best choice for a 32 year old breh?

I got pfizer, but if given the choice between the two, I'd probably go with Moderna this time since it does seem to hold up in the long term a little better. Moderna also seems to think that their boosters only need to be a half dose vs pfizers two fwiw. From what I've read, the heart inflammation side effect chance seems to to be higher than pfizers which is very low, especially for people over 30. I would avoid the J&J though.

im 31, got 2 shots of pfizer. 0 side effects either time, just drank water all day

seems to have the least amount of bullshyt in the news about it too. if it's really "a little weaker", i'll let my immune system make up the difference

not medical advice :hubie:

NPR: A study of COVID vaccine boosters suggests Moderna or Pfizer works best

People who got the Moderna vaccine for their original shots and Moderna again for their booster appear to have gotten the best immune response, followed by those who got Pfizer boosted by Moderna and then Moderna boosted by Pfizer — although the increase in immune response with the mRNA vaccines was probably too small to really make a difference in protection in most groups.

nikkas feenin to take boosters 5-6 months after double shots in the west for a smidgen of "extra protection" while Africa, a continent of 1.4 billion, is 4.4% vaccinated :mjlol:

Talk about hoarding

I get your point but you could say the same thing about literally anything you take for granted in America.

nah since I can't think of anything taken for granted that's being mandated by the government. Coli constantly saying it's the unvaccinateds fault the pandemic is on going. It's the unvaccinateds fault we get variants any of which can be vaccine immune.

We have a continent of 1.4 billion of with 96% are unvaccinated. :ehh: Y'all talking about herd immunity of a supposed GLOBAL pandemic and a whole continent is being left out :ehh: L

So instead of equal roll out we have rich nation's taking 3 and 4 shots and poor nation's getting 0. Same rich nation's not even saving vaccines for othera by recognizing natural immunity within their own populace due to already having the virus and still insisting on those who have recovered and have antibodies get the shots or face restrictions and loss of employment :ehh: some states are tossing out expired vaccines

Make it make sense.

A new variant pop up y'all gonna be on your 7th shot calling muhfukkas with 6 shots anti vaxx:mjlol: maybe Africa will be 20% vaxxed by then :ehh:

Who is yall? I got zero posts advocating the vaccine, or herd immunity.
You cats be on some super weird shyt when it comes to this topic. Son wrote a whole post directed at me over shyt I never said. :mjlol:

At the end of the day everyone on The Coli could not take a booster, or vaccine in the first place, and the government still ain't gonna send it to Africa.
You complaining about this shyt on The Coli as if we control where these vaccines get sent. :gucci:

I said "Coli" and "Yall" and this nikka concludes the entire post is directed at him :mjlol:

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has seen a notable global reduction in influenza cases of both influenza A and B viruses. In particular, the B/Yamagata lineage has not been isolated from April 2020 to August 2021, suggesting that this influenza lineage may have become extinct, which may provide opportunities for improving availability and effectiveness of influenza vaccines.

Infection with influenza B virus (IBV) accounts for around a quarter of the annual influenza burden. Influenza vaccine composition is reconsidered bi-annually to account for continuous antigenic drift in the haemagglutinin protein. The co-circulation of two antigenically distinct lineages of IBV, referred to as B/Victoria/2/1987 and B/Yamagata/16/1988 lineages (hereafter B/Victoria and B/Yamagata), has driven the development and application of a quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV). With circulation of IBV only in humans and no established animal reservoir1, high vaccination coverage that induces broad immune protection provides a potential pathway to eradication of IBV. The considerable reductions of influenza circulation globally due to COVID-19 may have already precipitated the extinction of the B/Yamagata lineage.

Global disappearance of B/Yamagata viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic
Influenza virus detections dropped dramatically from April 2020 (Fig. 1), with a ~99% reduction compared with previous years despite roughly similar levels of testing2. Behavioural changes (social distancing, mask wearing and hygiene measures) and travel and movement restrictions are thought to be the major factors driving the reduction in influenza incidence, which was also observed for other common respiratory infections such as respiratory syncytial virus3. The genetic diversity of influenza viruses has also dramatically diminished (Supplementary Fig. 1). The number of clades detected has fallen for both influenza A(H3N2) and A(H1N1) subtypes, and, similarly, diversity has diminished for the B/Victoria lineage. Although most IBV cases are not routinely subtyped into the two lineages, only very few B/Yamagata cases (none with successful virus isolation or sequencing) have been reported globally in 2021 (31 cases in FluNet as of 27 July 2021; Supplementary Table 1), and, since March 2020, no B/Yamagata viruses have been isolated or sequenced.

Covid-19 deaths fell to their lowest level in almost a year last week at nearly 50,000 fatalities, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday.

Deaths from Covid are declining in every region except Europe, but vaccine inequities continue to plague much of the developing world. Tedros said 56 countries did not reach the WHO’s goal of vaccinating 10% of their populations against Covid by the end of September, adding that reported deaths have been highest in countries with the least access to the shots.

Three countries – Burundi, Eritrea and North Korea – have yet to start distributing vaccines, Tedros said, noting that the majority of the 56 nations with vaccination rates under 10% are in Africa. Half of the 52 African countries with Covid vaccines have fully immunized 2% or less of their populations, according to a WHO report from Sept. 30.

Tedros said last Thursday that high- and upper-middle-income countries have used 75% of all Covid shots developed during the pandemic, while less than 5% of Africa’s population has been fully vaccinated. He called Wednesday for wealthy nations to stop distributing Covid booster shots to help meet the WHO’s goal of immunizing 40% of every country by the end of the year.
