Johnson & Johnson vaccine results. This one is going to be harder to convince people to take. It’s one shot but they are going to need a booster.
The vaccine was 72 percent effective at protecting against moderate to severe illness in the United States, but it was 66 percent effective in Latin America and 57 percent effective in South Africa, where concerning variants have taken root. It was 85 percent effective overall at preventing severe disease.
Why are Americans still leisure travelling? It's driving me insane.
I don’t think it’s just Americans. I know a ton of people in Tulum right now and they’re from all over the world. I think Aussies and Kiwis are just way better than the rest of us.

would've been awesome if this one shot was 95% effective. but it seems like we are going to need two shots regardless of vaccine (unless there is another one-shot vaccine in the pipeline i'm unaware of).
on the positive the first shot of J&J being 85% effective at preventing severe disease after just one shot is good news. that is better than moderna or pfizer i think.

I hope you bought the add on booster shot with you VIP LN package.

that's a bummer
There are a couple things to note from the results that make this better news than it might seem at first blush:
- The trial's definition of "mild" disease is incredibly strict - a positive PCR test and ONE symptom, literally. A second symptom puts you in the "moderate to severe" group. So, I would've been considered "moderate to severe," even though I never came close to needing to go to the hospital. A SpO2 reading of 93% or less put you in the severe group. There were zero severe cases in the vaccine arm 49 days post-vaccination.
- The key thing to look at is hospitalizations and death. There were zero cases of that in the vaccine arm 28 days post-vaccination.
- "Protection was generally consistent across race, age groups, including adults over 60 years of age and across all variants and regions studied, including South Africa where nearly all cases of COVID-19 (95%) were due to infection with a SARS-CoV-2 variant from the B.1.351 lineage." So, these numbers include the South African variant, which is increasingly looking like a partial escape variant.
I dunno, y'all. If you time-traveled back to March 2020 and told people that, in 10 months, we'd have a 66% effective vaccine that's almost completely successful at preventing hospitalization and death, and that doesn't require crazy cold storage and can be administered in a single shot, everybody would've been psyched out of their minds. Remember that Dr. Fauci, at the time, was saying we were looking at 18 months at the low end for that kind of thing. We all got super-spoiled by the mRNA vaccine trial results, but also keep in mind that we haven't seen what the decrease in effectiveness is for those shots vs. the SA variant outside of the lab, yet. Plus, the lower logistical hurdle on J&J is a really big deal - it's much better to have 60% of the population vaccinated at 66% effectiveness than it is to have 30% of the population vaccinated at 93% effectiveness in terms of impacting the pandemic.
Also, I think the messaging from everyone REALLY needs to become more about preventing hospitalization and death than it does about somehow eradicating SARS-CoV2 from the face of the Earth. The genie on that one likely isn't going back in the bottle. If we wrestle this disease to the point at which it's sending exponentially fewer people to the hospital and killing fewer people than the flu each year, that's a HUGE win, and this vaccine (along with the other "disappointing" vaccines like Novavax and AZ) helps get us there.
So, yeah, overall, this is a very positive result if we don't lose sight of the forest for the trees.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

^^^this 100%.
also i just spoke to my dad and he is on the way to get his first dose of the vaccine! very happy about that.

I agree. It’s a great vaccine. And if I could get it for my husband right now, I would in a heart beat. I just know the vaccine community in my area. And it’s going to be a hard sell. They are already screaming they only want Moderna because Pfizer did not take “Trump” money. Now it’s going to be “I don’t want that one that don’t work as well.”
A few friends of mine went to Vegas last weekend lol
i just think vegas in particular would be significantly less fun during a pandemic. the joy of vegas is just walking around feeling free and doing whatever the hell you want. plus no shows during a pandemic and lots of restaurants not being open.
having said that i am tentatively planning a vegas trip for june but won't spend any money or book anything until i see what the next few months look like.

I agree.
My main friend in the group said he thought about asking me to come along but knew I would say no. I'll take that as a compliment.
Mostly I just want to bet sports, and he does too, so I think it would be possible to do that in a pretty socially distant way. When I stayed at the Flamingo, the book was right at the bottom of the elevator bank, so pretty ideal. But now that I say that, the idea of being on any elevator right now terrifies me.

Flamingo has a nice cheap poker room, I like that place

Next time I visit I definitely would like to stay at another hotel, just to get a different experience, but I really like the Flamingo. It's well laid-out, has some decent buffets, the literal flamingos, fairly centrally-located by being adjacent to Caesar's, Bellagio, Linq.. My room's view was of Caesar's entrance, which is one of the more iconic Vegas views. It's also a Caesar's property, so if you go to the big fancy Caesar's book to make sports bets you can cash them in at the Flamingo book.. I don't really see a great reason to switch it up next time. I think I've heard Bellagio has some of the better poker rooms, though, so I'd like to check that place out. Or one of the more modern, stylish places on the strip. Rio seems cool, but it's so far off the strip and away from everything. We went there for a Penn show (Teller was out) and my mom caught a King of Hearts that he threw into the crowd. She was quite stoked.

Flamingo is one the best places. I wouldn't switch. What you get by staying at Caesar's isn't worth the extra cost, imo.
We stayed at Mirage last time and it was nice but, not where I really wanted to be, location-wise.
We went skiing at Okemo mountain last weekend and that was fun. I work in my basement and have two kids under 5. People need to get out of their houses! It's okay. You can do it safely and appropriately. Just check your states travel guidelines and the state that you are traveling too. VT being a contiguous state with NY was a no-brainer. Every single person on the mountain had a mask on. No exceptions.
