In case one is not vaccinated, it will be critical to continue avoiding exposure to high infectious pressure. This is to say that one should adhere to stringent protective measures, especially when attending indoor gatherings, particularly in spaces that are not well ventilated. For an unvaccinated person, viral re-exposure can be very problematic for as long as titers of short-lived anti-spike Abs are measurable in their blood (these Abs last for max. 8 weeks after previous asymptomatic infection). During the lifetime of these short-lived Abs, innate, variant-nonspecific Abs are suppressed and thereby render unvaccinated individuals more susceptible to Covid-19 disease. It would, therefore, be of tremendous help if a reliable finger prick self-test became commercially available in order for unvaccinated individuals to be able to measure their anti-S Abs such as to assess their susceptibility to disease. Positive anti-S Ab titers would require them to use a high level of caution in their contacts whereas a negative test result combined with a decent health status would indicate that their innate Abs are fully functional (Vanden Bossche, June 2021; Vanden Bossche, August 2021).

Prof's one heck of a visual artist. I am awed.

Tonight Venus and the Moon had switched places, with the latter higher up and bowed toward Venus, which was lower, and orangey. The Western fires are making a show here too.

An earlier post mentioned the term far-right, and we always seem to see the right described as far, but never the left. That’s because the baddies get to set the terms of the terminology. The don’ report, they advocate. For example, when conservative positions regarding abortion are discussed, the position of people who want abortion restricted to something like the first trimester, they are described as far-right extremists when in fact 68% of the population supports that position, including 40% of Democrats. I am traveling (to Wisconsin of all places) or I might have presented a few more examples. The position of middle Americans is described as far right in many situations, from
Immigration to gun control to CRT. I wish I had the time to prepare a comprehensive survey of Americans on every major political issue so that we could point to that data every time some hack called one side far-right extremists.
