Boosters Now Available

The Mississippi State Department of Health issued the following statement. 

 Beginning today, appointments for a booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine are now available at all county health department clinics for those who qualify.  

 Appointments can be made through https://covidvaccine.umc.edu or by calling the COVID-19 hotline at 877-978-6453. 

 

Booster shots help maintain your immunity, which may decrease over time. 

 

You can get a booster shot of Pfizer vaccine if you are 

  • Fully vaccinated with two shots of Pfizer, AND 
  • It’s been at least 6 months since your last shot of Pfizer.  

AND you fall into one of the following categories: 

  • Adults aged 65 years and older, OR 
  • Long-term care facility residents, OR 

 

Third or additional shots of Pfizer and Moderna for people with weakened immune systems are also available at county health departments. 

 

Please note: COVID-19 vaccines are available at numerous other providers statewide, including pharmacies and clinics. Go tohttps://www.vaccines.gov/search/ to find locations near you where you can receive first and second COVID-19 shots as well as additional COVID-19 shots for weakened immune systems and boosters. 

 

MSDH also has first and second shots of COVID-19 vaccine available at county health departments.  

 

Please remember to bring your COVID-19 vaccine card to your appointment, if available, if you have received prior shots of COVID-19 vaccine.

I would advise getting an antibody test first. Your viral load after this booster may make you SUPER CONTAGIOUS. Following the science folks.

What if you have been fully vaccinated then subsequently developed a breakthrough infection? What does the "science" say about this?

10:12 : Weirdly enough the science says move along there is nothing to see here. Lol, talking science.

I love how "science" just seems to forget those of us who got the J&J 1 dose shot. Just no mention of those people and how to proceed.

Been living my life, sensibly and mask-free since this started and still have not been sick, so I think I am done trying to make sense of this garbage.

The empty suit president cant even keep the rules straight, so why bother.

10:12, the "science" has said a lot about your "this" The vaccine was developed before the Delta variant came around. So the vaccine is not 100% effective against COVID or COVID Delta. Actually, no vaccine is 100% effective to blocking its target.

But the "science" has said, and proven, that IF you catch the COVID after having been jabbed, then tye likelihood of you bring sick enough to require hospitalization is greatly reduced.

But you already knew that, and you don't give a damn about what the science says. You are smarter than all them damn scientists anyway. You studied up last night on Newsmax, with a followup from ONA

Talk to your doctor or health care professional, not random people on social media or other online sources. No competent and ethical doctor who isn't YOUR doctor is going to give you or anyone else specific medical advice or even answer "(wink-wink) hypothetical" questions. In fact, most will err on the side of caution and not even answer if a question is, in context, getting too close to providing medical advice...just like your question.

Please refer to your personal physician - preferably an M.D.

I would NOT advise taking medical advice from any blog - #FaceBookScience...

"What if you have been fully vaccinated then subsequently developed a breakthrough infection? What does the "science" say about this?" To me it may mean that the so called live forever vaccines are nowhere near the so called efficacy. I see now Merick is reported to have an oral treatment for the dreaded man ending Covid.

@10:08AM - receiving a booster vaccination doesn't make you contagious. The vaccinations do not give you the ability to create viruses which is what you allege.

Anonymous said...

The day is coming soon when they will flip the coercion on those that are vaccinated and start making demands and mandates in order for them to have yet another booster. The Vaxxers will probably do and give up anything for another “boost”. Just imagine from past comments from that group on this forum how absolutely freaked out they will get if they can’t get that magic juice. Will be tyranny on steroids.

You aren’t living in the land of the free any longer.
And since you won’t ever do anything to defend the Republic besides comment on blogs, stay in your lane.

So why is the booster only available to a select group? It's not like there is a mad rush to get the vaccine at this point? If they want people to get this 3rd of 23 shots then open it up!!

I got my COVID Booster in my left arm & my Flu shot in the right 2 days ago. No ill effects at all. Come on Dive in the water fine.

The same group telling us to "trust the science" and "talk to your doctor" are the same group that listen to a rich teenage girl about climate change. Lets talk about the hypocrisy of that for a minute.

Laughing at you thinking these are rules to follow versus live science changing real time as new evidence is coming in.

Yes, I think it IS best for you to stop trying to make sense of it.

Now suddenly there is a pill to make this go away with permission of course from Big Tony and Uncle Joe. And by God it was done in less than a year ! LOL. Some of you people are soooooo easy. And it's why we are in this war. And yes...it is a war pahtna.

The fact that you must ask such a question proves you have no comprehension of what True Freedom is.

Sheeple on think of freedoms in the form of their pleasures and conspicuous consumption.

2:58 : Instead of being willfully blind and deaf, maybe try doing some study on you yourself "the vaxxed" who science has said and you can find it anywhere that the vaxxed are also spreading this man made virus. Vaccines save the folks who were already sickly. That WAS what they were built for in the first place. So spare us your blather . The science has spoken.

2:28 is one of those peeps that blamed every Pandemic woe in 2020 on Trump and expected Trump to understand this unprecedented event fully, but when a D is in office its evolving Science and Biden has no business advising us.

So predictable.

Not getting it. I had Covid in January and since got the Pfizer vaccine (which I regret). It is blatantly obvious this vaccine does not keep you from getting Covid after the job nor does it keep yo from passing it along. The only thing this next shot is boosting is the pockets of big pharma.

Natty Life said...

First no vaccine, then a shot in the arm mostly followed by yet another shot, then a booster shot, now an edible. Why didn't they just start with a beer?

I had COVID in January, mostly a mild case, never lost taste or smell, more like a sinus infection (which is what the DR treated me for since I tested negative first, saw the DR, then positive 3 days later). I probably got it from one of 4 family members who came over Christmas Day.

I did not get a vaccination after my elderly father died 2 weeks after his second shot in March. It rapidly made his COPD and heart disease worse and then killed him.

Mid-September I got an antibody test which showed I still had a high level of antibodies. I didn't need a vaccination after 8 months.

4 members of my extended family all had been vaccinated in August, so we went to visit around Labor Day. None of us were vaccinated, but they said come on because they felt protected, and we stayed mostly outside by their pool. (We stayed at a hotel).

We left on a Sunday morning. Sunday night one of them became sick. Then all 4 got sick and tested positive for COVID. It wasn't from us since we had just left. One of them had picked it up 3 days earlier from a doctor's appointment (only place any had been).

None of us, the visitors, got sick at all. Also, we had all had COVID in January.

So, I'm not sure why I need to be vaccinated. I'm getting another antibody test later this month to make a final decision.

I flew on trips in May, 2020, August, 2020, July, 2020, October 2020, May, 2021, and another just recently. I wore my mask when I had to, used disinfectant wipes on everything on the plane I would come in contact with, and did not get sick or catch anything.

So tell me again about vaccinations. Natural immunity should be recognized the same as being vaccinated.

2:25, you post lies. That is from a debunked Facebook Covid misinformation post. The Pfizer drug and Ivermectin are not even structurally similar. Stop repeating social media lies.

This blog has simply become the cut and paste king of antivaxxer idiots.

I'm still amazed how our country turned the pandemic from a health issue to a political issue. Excuses started with "It's not FDA approved", and now, has become "I'm not doing it because Biden can't tell me what to do." With all of that, we now lead the world in Covid cases and deaths (a/k/a "lagging indicators", as described by our governor on CNN).

As someone in my 70s, I got the Pfizer vaccine and just received the booster, I still wear a mask, I've had three Covid tests (all negative), and sadly, I've lost several dear friends who chose not to get the Covid vaccine.

If your MD advises vaccine, get it from a clean, professional clinic with real nurses, not from a parking lot or drugstore.

Biden and Fauci have dictator syndrome, else they would primarily test for and value antibodies, regardless how acquired, not just the vaccine per se.

Abstract
Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine the rapidity of viral clearance and safety of ivermectin among adult SARS-CoV-2 patients.

Kingfish, may I?...

From "Virology Future"
I wonder how the pfizermectin and Ivermercktin work? hmmmm

"It is noteworthy to mention that many anti-SARS-CoV-2s are now being tested for their efficacy in shaping the immune response of humans, through targeting the cell surface as well as intracellular toll-like receptors[34,35]. In this context, ivermectin could be an effective option as well. Considering all these facts, the present study explores the therapeutic targets of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2 and enlightens the possibility of using this drug in COVID-19 clinical trials shortly.Summary points•The present in silico study presents the therapeutic efficacy of ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2 in comparison to two recently used anti SARS-CoV-2 drugs, namely remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine.•Molecular docking was performed using the drugs of interest and various proteins involved in the infection cycle of SARS-CoV-2 such as spike glycoprotein, main protease, replicase, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, humanACE2 receptor and human transmembrane serine protease. The dynamics of the interaction was further analyzed by molecular dynamics simulation studies and the binding free energy of binding of ivermectin to each protein was determined.•The pharmacokinetic attributes of ivermectin were compared with other two anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs and ivermectin was found to be a safe drug.•Ivermectin was found to be an efficient inhibitor of Mpro, replicase and hTMPRSS2 and the study manifests a superior ground for the candidature of ivermectin to be an efficient anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic option.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
