APPRISEOUTcomes POST COVID: The OUTPOST studyThe OUTPOST study is a large, national study to understand health outcomes after common cold and flu viruses
A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.
Intended “to better understand the short, medium and long-term impacts of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland,” the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Statewide Study boasted 10,000 adult participants across 86% of postcodes, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, generating over 100,000 biospecimens and 11 million data points.
“It’s a terrible example of research wastage and loss of a globally significant opportunity to realise benefits and generate knowledge through research based on the unique samples provided by the 10,000 Queenslanders who gave consent and participated,” Professor Davies, who heads up the Allergy Research Group at QUT, told Canberra Daily.

After 5 years of fighting to not get #COVID, wearing masks, not eating indoors, etc. I finally tested positive after my dad’s funeral.
I’ve had every vaccine and booster and so far the symptoms are very mild. 72 hours after exposure:
- Chills; but no fever.
- Body aches
- Slight soar throat
- Little appetite
Not a candidate for #Paxlovid even with #UC since I’m not on an immunotherapy.
I’m hoping it passes quickly.
Something I don't see a lot of discussion around is the rise in the need of organ transplants needed because of covid (almost 10% of lung transplants in the US are now needed due to covid)... but also the decrease in transplantable organs because of the damage done from people having covid.
People talking about the person who died from H5N1 in Louisiana - "yeah, but they had underlying health conditions", like y'all haven't just gone through a mass disabling event and caught covid a dozen times in the last 4 years.
Do you know who also has "underlying health conditions", Deborah?? Do you???
I just got back from having my latest covid booster (6th booster) and was chatting to the nurse who administered it. I asked of they were getting many people having their boosters, and she said that the oldies were good at getting them* but it seems like younger people just aren't interested anymore.
Even if they believe covid exists and that vaccination is good and helpful, they believe covid is pmuch over and it's not worth getting boosters because if they catch it they "don't get that sick anyways".
She also said "we're all pretty sure they're all going to just end up having heart attacks."

#COVID cases, hospitalizations and deaths continued to decline slowly in #NYC over the past few weeks, with no sign of a fall/winter wave yet.
#COVIDIsNotOver and RSV is on the rise (see my previous post), so I #WearAMask in trains, elevators, doctors' offices, pharmacies and supermarkets! #GetBoosted if you haven't already...
Continued thread
So relieved to see NYC #COVID rates keep dropping! If the #COVID19 hospitalization count as of October 1 (18 citywide) isn't revised upwards it will be the lowest since March 2020! We may have to start measuring deaths per week instead of per day. And no sign of a fall wave in case or wastewater data!
But 18 !=0, #CovidIsNotOver and everyone is expecting a winter wave.
I got my #novavax on Friday, and still #WearAMask in confined spaces and where there are vulnerable people!
Continued thread
Update, almost 24 hours later: so far the side effects of the #Novavax #FluShot2024 combo haven't been as big a challenge as Pfizer in 2021-2023. No fever, and I've been able to get through most of my morning routine.
But they're a lot more than I remember feeling after a single flu shot! Mild aches all over, some soreness in my arms, and enough fatigue that I haven't tried to leave the house or do anything strenuous.
Looking forward to getting past this!
#Novavax in the left arm, #FluShot2024 in the right! The pharmacist said that the side effects for Novavax are comparable to the flu vaccine...
Continued thread
NYC #COVID numbers are going down again! We're down below 2 people hospitalized for #COVID per lakh residents per day, which is where we were at the beginning of June. Still around 1-2 people dying per day.
It might be a good idea to fly somewhere before the winter wave. I'm definitely going to get some karaoke in!
#CovidIsNotOver so I'll #GetBoosted soon, and continue to #WearAMask in confined spaces like trains and elevators, and wherever there are vulnerable people, like doctors' offices!
Continued thread
The latest NYC #COVID numbers are a bit reassuring: not going down as fast as they did in August, but they do seem to be continuing to drop, and there's no sign of a new wave!
I got a haircut yesterday and will probably do some karaoke and take short trips. Hopefully this trough will last through the live karaoke I'm planning to sing at on Oct. 28!
Of course #CovidIsNotOver so I'll #GetBoosted in the next few weeks, and #WearAMask in confined spaces and wherever there are vulnerable people!
… and my niece tested positive for Covid this morning, wiping out that entire family from attending the wedding.

MastodonMorning (@Morning1@mastodon.social)Managed to get the new Covid vaccine tonight, 8 days before a wedding I’ll be attending. So that should give me a little protection… I hope lol.

@covid_wastewater Including myself, I personally know 13 people who have had #covid in the past 3 weeks or have tested positive this week.

@jeneralist Here in Queens, NY, CVS has the updated #COVID vaccine available next week (August 28), but only at a few pharmacies. Walgreens has it available at more pharmacies starting September 7. Rite Aid isn't showing #COVID19 vaccines yet.
Case and hospitalization counts have dropped a bit in NYC recently, so I'll probably wait until late September or some time in October to #GetBoosted
