… The claim originated with a social media post on Thursday by Pam Long, a vaccine critic and writer for The Defender, a publication of the anti-vaccine organization Children’s Health Defense.

Long was previously the president of Colorado Health Choices Alliance, which opposes vaccine requirements.

“Denver Airport. The owner of 5 restaurants in C terminal made a Nov. 1st mandate or get fired,” Long posted on Twitter. “None of the cooks, dishwashers, bussers and hosts showed up to work. So there were no restaurants open in C Terminal. He immediately sent an email reversing mandate.”

Long’s claim quickly gained traction among vaccine critics, amassing 7,983 retweets and 28,300 likes…

[DIA’s] Rentaria said there was no unexpected closure of restaurants outside regular hours, let alone a mass closure of every restaurant in Concourse C due to an employee strike over a vaccine mandate…

Reached by phone, Long said she had heard about an employee revolt against a vaccine mandate at DIA and did not attempt to determine if it was true before sharing it on social media.

“I’m not a reporter,” Long said. “That’s your job.”

Long warned 9NEWS against airing a fact-check of her claim.

“I would not run this story if you consider libel a threat,” Long said.

Minutes later, her social media post was deleted.

    The more testing, the more options, the better.

    The University of Hawaii’s School of Medicine is in the final stages of developing a COVID vaccine that could prove an important tool in underdeveloped countries.

    Current COVID vaccines are liquid and must be frozen to store or transport.

    But Teri Ann Wong, a lab manager at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, said the vaccine they’re developing can be stored and transported at room temperature.
    [snip]
    “What we developed is a vaccine that is based on protein subunits, which is different from the current Pfizer, Moderna vaccine and also the Johnson & Johnson vaccine,” said JABSOM post-doctoral fellow Dr. Albert To.
    [snip]
    The UH vaccine has gone through pre-clinical development and the next step is manufacturing to meet FDA standards so that it can be tested on humans. Source

    Britain is already vaccinating higher-risk people with booster doses, timed for six months after their second regular vaccination. About half of the original vaccinations in the late winter and early spring were doses of AstraZeneca adenovirus vaccine but the boosters are all Pfizer mRNA. As far as I can tell from the information online these are full-strength doses. Personally I’m expecting to receive my own booster vaccine in a week or two (my second AstraZeneca vaccination was at the end of April).

    Here in Scotland the authorities are giving a flu vaccination at the same time as the COVID-19 booster vaccination since the epidemiologists are predicting that this year’s influenza season will be a bad one and they don’t want the health services overrun with a second respiratory disease at the same time they’re trying to cope with the expected winter surge of COVID-19 cases.

    @Ben Cisco (onboard the Defiant): I got mine (same brand) on Thu!  Woke up Fri AM with a little dry eye, runny nose,  a little soreness at the injection site, and randomly-distributed little aches in muscles.

    Which is more than I got from the first two shots combined!  Like, the weeniest flu I ever had, basically.

    I’m no idiot, so I trust the scientists and the nurses and the dosing protocols.  But boy howdy, I’m a little jealous of you folks who have real reactions to the shot.  At least you know your body’s defenses are up and bristling!  [ok, ok, ok, I’m half-kidding]

    My cousin’s wife had a single dose of Moderna several months ago; she has a history of trouble with vaccines, and sure enough, passed out 45 minutes later (fortunately, she got the shot at a hospital so help was right there).  Her immunologist said she shouldn’t get the second shot, but also said if she were to catch Covid, it would likely be very bad.  The time since has been an exhausting time of trying to minimize her risk of exposure in daily life- my cousin has been doing all the shopping, her ex-husband has had to take on full-time parenting as she hasn’t seen her (adult and teenage) kids in person, although they’ve facetimed and constantly texted because this has been so emotionally hard on her. This week, as she put it, the stars aligned and her lab work showed no infections so her doctors gave her the go-ahead to get the J&J shot.  She had the (normal for her) reaction- headache, ringing in the ears and fever.  And she’s so relieved (as are we all).  I’m very hopeful that the preliminary data on mixing shots (and mixing natural infection with a follow-up vaccine) means she’ll end up with better overall immunity than if she’d been able to do both shots of one vaccine.

    And she lives in Oklahoma, so all the precautions they had to take were necessary because too many people don’t have enough of a sense of civic duty to do the right thing for immunocompromised neighbors.

    @Nicole: A famous woman said “It takes a village”.  Your cousin’s wife’s tale is heartening; thank you for sharing it.  It’s especially so, because the people around her pitched-in to keep her safe, something that …. is commendable, even if it shouldn’t have to be.

    Thank you for this.

    @mrmoshpotato: Yes, but “pro-plague” doesn’t dance as well as “pro-polio” (the latter doesn’t just alliterate, it also internally rhymes “pro” several time, as in “pro poh lee oh”, all on the right stressed syllabobbles).

    I’m always annoyed when I come across the “personal choice” argument against getting vaxxed. When we get in our cars to drive, we comply with various safety mandates: a licence mandate, a sobriety mandate, a seat-belt mandate. We understand why these mandates are in place. We don’t quibble about our right to personal choice.

    Well, a Covid-19 vaccine mandate is the same. It’s in place to protect us and those around us. No matter what specious arguments are raised against them by misguided personal-choice advocates, the vaccines work, better in fact than we dared hope. The personal-choice argument is bullshit.

    While only CO, NH, and VT are in clear uptrends, in many States, and the West and Northeast as a whole, the downtrend seems to have ended, most at very elevated levels. I suspect we are not going to make much more progress before a winter wave begins. Deaths also anomalously have increased, but I suspect this is just noise.

    Many of my neighbors are GOPers. Had a conversation with two of them a couple of days ago. They are vaccinated, but said if their children were still of school age, they would not vaccinate them because the vaccines are “experimental.” I pointed out that the polio vaccine was just as “experimental” when we got it as kids, and asked if authorities should have waited decades before approving it for general use as well. Their response was twofold. One said that the polio vaccine “cured” polio, while mRNA vaccines do not. The other did not believe that the polio vaccine was mandatory. I said the first was untrue, and that there were also breakthrough cases of polio; and as to the latter, that the polio vaccine was mandatory for school enrollment in all 50 States.

    I didn’t convince them on the spot, but I am pretty sure they will do some googling and find out that what I told them was true.

    I think pointing out how polio vaccine was just as new when we got it is a very good line of argument.

    For anyone like myself left in limbo re booster shots by Novavax here is some good news from the UK.

    https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/uk-offer-vaccine-shots-novavax-trial-volunteers-80475143

    They’ve basically decided that if you were on the Novavax trial you can now have the full course of Pfizer. Intrestingly the main driver appears to be the lack of vaccinated status given to people who’ve had Novavax rather than vulnerability to covid ( the Novavax effectiveness is up there with Pfizer) so they’re  offering the full course rather than a booster

    They obviously think it’s safe and as they started last monday and I’ve yet to hear of any horror stories of people keeling over I think I’m going to forget about waiting for Novavax to do the right thing and say hello to Pfizer

    And of course at that point I’ll have a real/regular CDC card as opposed to the trial one which could be useful

    Scotland — 2,581 new COVID-19 cases reported today. The test positivity rate is 9.5%. There were 21 new deaths reported. ICU bed occupancy numbers are 47, up two from yesterday while hospitalisations are 841, down 10.

    There were approximately 5,400 vaccinations carried out in Scotland yesterday (Friday) with about 65% of these being first vaccinations. 91.8% of 16+ adults are now vaccinated with their first dose and 85.2% are fully vaccinated. 73.8% of 16 and 17-year-olds have now received their first vaccination, up 0.2% from yesterday. 45.2% of 12-15 year olds have now received their first vaccination, up 0.9% from yesterday.

    There were about 20,000 booster vaccinations carried out yesterday. This seems to be the standard daily rate of booster shots being carried out in Scotland at the moment.

    @New Deal democrat: You did good with your neighbors.  And you’re right about what you said, PLUS- the first polio vaccine didn’t fully stop transmission, either.  It stopped (most) kids from getting very ill, and reduced transmission, of course, but some kids could still transmit it, as it was an injectable vaccine, and thus not immunizing at the site of infection (hmm… there’s some other vaccine out right now that’s first generation injectable, too…).  It wasn’t until the oral vaccine was developed that modern medicine had a way to really stop transmission.  Much like how studies are being done right now on a nasal version of the (currently first-generation) vaccine… what virus is it for, again?

    I think the polio vaccine comparison is very apt.  Again, you did good.

    Back from my five days in the frozen tundra’s of Northumberland. I wanted to visit Hadrian’s Wall and I did see bits of it through the window, but torrential rain and gale force winds deterred me from actually getting out  and physically visiting any of the main sites. Still, maybe next year?

    Anyway, back to my normal scheduled UK report, where, yesterday (Friday), we had 44,932 new cases. This is an increase of 11.5% in the rolling 7-day average. New cases by nation,

    England – 37,691 (down 797)

    Northern Ireland – 1349 (up 45)

    Scotland – 2762 (up 123) See also Robert Sneddon’s update above.

    Wales – 3130 (up 495).

    Deaths – There were 145 deaths within 28 days of a positive test yesterday. This is an increase of 5.1% in the rolling 7-day average. 94 deaths were in England, 4 in Northern Ireland, 32 in Scotland and 15 in Wales.

    Testing – 980,883 tests took place on Thursday, 14 October. This is a reduction of 0.6% in the rolling 7-day average. The PCR testing capacity reported by labs on that date was 907,923.

    Hospitalisations – As of Thursday, 14 October there were 7086 people in hospital and 783 on ventilators. The rolling 7-day average for hospital admissions was up by 6.4% as of 11 October.

    Vaccinations – As of Thursday, 14 October, 49,335,154 people had received 1 shot of a vaccine and 45,297,231 had had 2. In percentage terms this means that 85.8% of all UK residents aged 12 and over have had 1 shot and 78.8% have had 2.

    I’m wondering how boosters for the J&J is going to work. A good number of the original shots were given in very causal settings like subway stops and block parties, and to homeless people.

    I’m not sure that the bar patron who got a J&J because “Hey, sure, why not, I’ll get a free beer” is the type of person who is closely following the science news and is now saying, “Wow, better locate a booster ASAP.”

    On the topic of polio vaccines, to oversimplify, the Sabin is a so-called live virus (defanged obviously) and the Salk contains a killed virus.

    There have been occasional cases of Sabin/live virus recipients coming down with polio and/or spreading the virus to others, which is why in this country, we use the Salk/dead vaccines. But the other vaccine is easier to keep and distribute in less developed countries, so it is used there.

    Ohio Family Trivia: When Ohio Dad was a lad, he lived in the same neighborhood as the Sabins, and knew them slightly.

    Another Scott

    I have a distinct recollection from early on that the J&J was one shot because it worked differently – the body would attack the vector of the 2nd shot before it could get where it needed to be in the cells to start working.

    Am I misremembering? What changed?

    Thanks.

    And of course at that point I’ll have a real/regular CDC card as opposed to the trial one which could be useful

    Different study example–I’m in the Ensemble 2 clinical study for J&J 2-shot regimen, and last I heard the clinical site was working with Illinois to get our vax records added to the state registry. Waiting to hear where that stands. They gave us CDC vax record cards, so that part’s covered. And it took a bit, but I was able to find a plastic sleeve that I could slide the card into without needing to trim it.

    @Kristine: Glad to hear that for you, that takes care of both the card and the booster

    I’m in Florida, I’m pretty sure we’re not on the state registry. I got a CDC card as well, it’s got a different blurb at the top about it being for a trial. The problem is at present Novavax isn’t approved anywhere so a lot of countries/places don’t recognise it. My personal thing is that due to a combination of age and work environment I’m pretty sure I could do with a booster

    @Nicole:

    I think the polio vaccine comparison is very apt.

    Also, parents were not at all hesitant to get in line and get the vaccine into their kids. Polio was that scary.

    COVID should be just as scary (one recovering woman said that before she was ventilated, she was coughing up what to her looked like plexiglass). I’ve read and seen reports about deniers later getting COVID and turning into evangelists for masks and shots.

    The studies that show the effectiveness in the real world do not live up to the effectiveness in the trials.

    Link

    A study published Thursday reported a steep decline in vaccine effectiveness against infection by August of this year, especially for people who received the J&J vaccine.
    The researchers found that among more than 600,000 veterans, J&J’s vaccine’s protection fell from 88% in March to 3% in August. Meanwhile, Moderna’s vaccine protection against infection fell to 64% from 92%, and Pfizer’s declined to 50% from 91% during that same time period.
    “I think anybody who’s gotten one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can benefit from a second dose of a Johnson & Johnson vaccine,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee.

    Re influenza in the US 2021/2022 season (northern hemisphere), looking quite low in the USA relative to the same week in 2019, even with more testing. 2020 had less testing with a similar low positivity rate:

    Influenza has a fairly low R relative to SARS-CoV-2 and especially relative to the Delta variant, in part because of existing immunity from vaccines and actual infections, but even without vaccines/prior exposure (fully new strain), estimates are around 1.6-1.8 IIRC (will find the cite). This means that masks especially on infected people and other NPIs may drive R below 1, when combined with a vaccination push. One can hope.

    @Amir Khalid:

    I’m always annoyed when I come across the “personal choice” argument against getting vaxxed.

    In the US, it’s akin to arguing that they, as a gun-toting Americans, have the right to wander through a residential neighborhood and put rifle bullets through random houses. With the added twist that the bullets that just wounded people (most of the few that hit people) sometimes caused those people to pick up a rifle and start randomly putting rifle bullets through houses in residential neighborhoods. Sort of a zombie plague but with infection-by-rifle. (And also by persuasion, for an additional ingredient in the metaphor mix.)
    That laws against such activity in residential neighborhoods (very common in the US) are invalid because they infringe on the right to kill random people.

    Carmen was ill enough this morning to head to Cleveland Heights hospital, where she was assessed, and where her attending physician prescribed a monoclonal antibody infusion. The hospital wasn’t able to find and perfuse a vein, so she has been transferred to Cleveland City hospital downtown for competent venipuncture.
