COVID vaccinations! Have you gotten yours?

[crazy canuck]

Best protection, at least from what I heard on a podcast is, in order:

1. mRNA vaccine + survived COVID
2. mrNA vaccine alone
3. Survive COVID, no vaccine
4. non-mRNA vaccine + COVID
5. non-mRNA vaccine


edit: Disclaimer! This is just what I heard on a podcast. Im not a doctor. If this turns out to be wrong someday, then so be it.

Joe Rogan?

Fuck no.

I was told by a Serbian friend that over there they gave people the freedom to choose which vaccine they'd get, but availability was also a factor in choosing which one to get. If you wanted Sputnik or the Chinese one you could get it almost right away, if you wanted Pfizer you'd have to wait several weeks. His whole family decided to wait for the Pfizer one.

I love Rogan but he has a California hippy sensibility so he is always going to be doing some kind of weird fad thing for his health.

I cannot stand him.

[crazy canuck]

Fuck no.

How did they explain that getting COVID is more protection than getting COVID and being vaccinated with a non mRNA vaccine.  That seems a bit suspect.

edit: a story came out yesterday questioning the effectiveness of one of the mRNA vaccines, so that show is seems out of date already - even if it was valid at one time.

I loved Newsradio back in the day and he is this comedian/jock/hippy guy. I think he fits in well in Austin. But I get it.

He is authentic. He is just who he is. I think that is cool, though now he exists in this weird world of being used by everybody because he is popular.

I doubt I'll get a 3rd dose personally. By the time my age groups gets called up here it'll be too late for this current wave.

I've been wrong before on Quebec's ability to ramp up vaccination tho.

I, too, really liked NewsRadio.

But was Joe Rogan really the most memorable part of that show?  When I think back on it I more remember Dave Foley, Phil Hartman, Andy Dick, Stephen Root... all before I start thinking about Joe Rogan.

Current wave is going to last a few months, if the past is any guide.

Alberta stealth changed eligibility to 50+.  And while you're younger than I, I don't think you're that much younger - out turn will come shortly.

Quebec is still 70+ w/ 6 month since 2nd.

That is my problem.

He has this HUGE following, and so he has (IMO) a responsibility to stop playing the "Ahh shucks, I'm just a guy chatting with some dudes!" schtick when it comes to giving a platform to people who don't deserve one.

Plus his following is just a bit too man-cave cultish for my taste.

He isn't much of an actual authority on much of anything outside the MMA. He isn't particular bright, IMO, and doesn't think very critically. And he plays that game where he admits to exactly that, and yet leans into giving his opinion about bullshit anyway. And again, with the certain knowledge that his charisma has in fact created this massive following who WILL act as if he is an authority even while he tells them he is not.
