| ublx | seems suspiciously like part of clandestine efforts to shift healthcare access from NHS to employer-mediated provision, which ofc we can partly suspect has more to do with workforce politics (employee discipline) than healthcare | 18:14 |

| LjL | what are you saying is part of such effort, the article? | 21:23 |
| ublx | yeah more or less | 21:30 |
| ublx | with a suspicious mind, one sees seeming efforts everywhere one looks, of a general campaign to convert UK healthcare to the US model | 21:31 |
| ublx | some obvious, blatant. some less so like this | 21:31 |
| LjL | ublx, a thing i caught yesterday https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/1g83iti/sarscov2specific_plasma_cells_are_not_durably/ doesn't sound like great news, but note the idea somewhere in that thread that this only happens with the vaccines and not the disease seems a bit bogus since everyone in this study had the vaccine | 23:01 |
| LjL | then this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/1g83iti/sarscov2specific_plasma_cells_are_not_durably/lsz3ovk/ shows a similar-seeming study on people who got the disease and not necessarily the vaccine | 23:01 |
| LjL | so maybe there is just no long-lasting immunity which is \o/ | 23:02 |
| ublx | for me growing up, the household wisdom or science orthodoxy back then was that one just can't have general immunity from coronaviruses (neither via vaccine nor infection). so i suppose people of my age, when back in 2020 there was all this talk of warp speed vaccine development, well a lot of people my age must have been thinking.. what in the heck is this nonsense about vaccine | 23:06 |
| LjL | i can't say i had any household wisdom about coronaviruses :P | 23:14 |
| ublx | something something mutate too fast for meaningful immunity to ever emerge as an option. probably discussed in high school biology level, i can't remember. but i do remember this general idea about cold/coronaviruses being the received wisdom back when i was a kid | 23:16 |
| ublx | ofc the vaccines we did get post-2020 were not nothing. and ofc things should be tried | 23:16 |
| ublx | but an actual, broadly effective, lasting immunity with respect to coronaviruses.. well i grew up thinking that would be a star trek level science state of the art paradigm shift | 23:18 |
| ublx | so i took the vaccines, and boosters (for a while anyway). but it didn't exactly blow my mind when they turned out to be weak sauce | 23:19 |
| LjL | 2020-06-28.log:[21:19:37] <LjL> in my opinion we'll have a vaccine for western countries, it'll be effective for 6 months to 2 years, after which you'll need a booster, which will increase immunity, you may get 5-6 years with a booster, and the vaccine testing will continue for the next decade or two, until we have probably a 3-immunization sequence: initial, booster, second booster | 23:21 |
| LjL | ah, the naivity | 23:21 |
| LjL | more like 3 months to 6 months, *with* the booster | 23:21 |
| ublx | well. better than nothing. surely saved a lot of lives | 23:24 |
