Regarding the hemp article:
Lots of people are taking this the wrong way. Even I thought "Hey, I use CBD daily, I'm protected!"
It's not that simple. CBDa and CBGa cannabinoids are typically destroyed in the high-heat process needed to to convert the raw form of cannabis or hemp into liquid tinctures, edibles, etc.
I looked up the purity report on the product I use (Spruce CBD) and those two cannabinoids were "not detected."
I think a lot of people think that simply because they vape or smoke, they're protected. As far as smoking, if a high-heat reaction destroys CBDa and CBGa, then a combustable process like smoking is probably going to do the same thing. Then, with vaping, you're talking about the raw form of cannabis that has gone through a high heat process to turn it into a liquid oil form; I'd suspect that it also loses those cannabinoids.
I assume that the conversion process can be tweaked, because this guy on Twitter talks about his particular CBD oil containing those cannabinoids.
Give this thread a read: https://twitter.com/chey_cobb/st…
All that said, it's exciting to see the potential in a growing cannabis market in which we can extract compounds that help us and add to the agricultural reinvigoration that's taking place in the US with the growth of cannabis. I just don't know how far off they are from making this useful.
TL;DR - Just because you use oils or get high all the time doesn't mean you get the benefit of CBDa and CBGa cannabinoids. But it'd be a lot cooler if we did.

Peak Infectiousness Of Covid-19 With Omicron is 3-6 Days After Symptom Onset, Says New Study
A new study conducted by Japanese researchers has shown that peak viral loads in people infected with omicron occur between 3 to 6 days after the onset of symptoms. The study raises further concerns about the CDC cutting the self-isolating time for people with Covid-19 to 5 days, not 10.
The American Medical Association was the latest in a long line of organizations to oppose the move to shorten the self-isolation time after Covid-19 infection and it remains to be seen whether the CDC changes or reverses its stance as the U.S. sets daily world records of reported cases, with the number of people in hospital and ICU’s quickly rising.

I'm supposed to be out of quarantine today, 5 days after my positive test, but maybe the CDC has made a big mistake.

I tested positive on my FTF lateral flow the day before I was supposed to head back home from Scotland. I’m in day 3 of isolation and I just started getting a low hum in my ears, like a distant plane overhead. I can feel it in my skull, it’s fucking inescapable. I can deal with all the other symptoms but this one is seriously freaking me out.

US Army's 'super vaccine' could protect against all COVID variants. What do we know?
The Army's vaccine, SpFN, shows promise against all COVID-19 strains, including omicron, and could shield patients against any infection in the coronavirus family.When will the Army's COVID vaccine be available?
No date has been set., Normally, completing all three phases can take up to five years

- hotroddy - having majority vaxxed is a strategy to rapidly slow spread & mutations.inteliboy
- Looks like the U.K. might abandon mass vaccination. https://www.theguard…Chimp
- @intel - vaxxed are ALL getting the virus and there are claims new variants are created by antibody-mediated selection due to the vaccinationhotroddy
- the only positive of vaccination is vaxxed aren't hospitalized. Yet people think they have the moral high ground and spew their hate.hotroddy
- yea spewing hate is awful. fuckers. but the amount of people parroting DYOR from Joe rogan podcasts is even more tiring.inteliboy
- @hotroddy can you post link to where you saw that vaccines are the reason for new variants.dbloc
- @dbloc - it's true the virus is mutating quicker in unvaccinated populations but that doesn't mean cannot mutate in a vaccinated recipient.hotroddy
- @db - anything subject to evolutionary forces will likely undergo mutation.hotroddy
- if everyone who's vaccinated has the virus (aka my family and friends) - opportunities for the virus to mutate into new variants is still a possibilityhotroddy
- in short -≥ life finds a wayhotroddy
- the people who aren't vaccinated and survive are naturally immunized probably having better immunity than vaxers.hotroddy

I'm on day 8 of isolation now and still getting a ghostly red line on my COVID tests. I'm so bored. I've also had a weird sense of smell for the past few days. I can smell stuff, but there's an underlying weird stench to my flat.
I have a funeral i'm supposed to go to tomorrow but it's looking like I can't go. Fuck. This. Shit.
Also got stoned on Monday and the paranoid idiot in me was like 'what if the government are controlling the tests as a means of keeping people locked indoors." Soon snapped out of that nonsense though

Good explanation of how and why the virus mutates.
Success of mutations and vaccine trials based on numbers not time.- are you sure this is worth reading...she has one of those blue marks on her name and it says Dr and then there is a bunch of unicorns and rainbows in it.uan
- Yeah, it is on twitter, but I don't think the pictures are integral to the point being made.Fax_Benson
- I get what she tells...but then it's not like we had a new variant that survived every day.

Fucken fuckfuckfuck its 10am coles, woolworths have covid tests sold out and i need a cheap one ASAP for my travels tomorrow. The options i left with is to pay 2x/3x the price for a fucking test.

- america is fucked thread. millions getting their DYOR and basing their world views from joe rogan podcast.inteliboy
- this boy in the video is a moron who doesn't understand basic sentence structure.pr2
- the study from Nature: under 40yo male - you are 1.5x more likely to get heart problems from vax than from covid. Period.pr2
- the % notation from that article is more telling: 0.0015% vs 0.001% chance of getting heart muscle problems (which just go away after hours/days).uan
- PR2 you are so full of shit. Here is the relevant quote and a link to the study so you can read it yourself.robotinc
- "Second, in the same population, there was a greater risk of myocarditis, pericarditis and cardiac arrhythmia following SARS-CoV-2 infection."robotinc
- https://www.nature.c…robotinc
- "We estimate that the absolute number of excess myocarditis events in the 28 days following a first dose of adenovirus or mRNA vaccine is between one and /... "robotinc
- " six per million persons vaccinated, and the excess risk following the second dose of the mRNA-1283 vaccine is ten per million. "robotinc
- "By contrast, we estimate 40 excess myocarditis events per million in the 28 days following SARS-CoV-2 infection."robotinc
- you my friend are as clueless as the boy in the video. "absolute number" is NOT <40.pr2
- just like absolute death rate from covid is actually quite high because it included 65+yo who die from covid like flies.pr2
- "Third, the increased risk of myocarditis after vaccination was higher in persons aged under 40 years. We estimated extra myocarditis events to be between 1 androbotinc
- 10 per million persons in the month following vaccination, which was substantially lower than the 40 extra events per million persons observed followingrobotinc
- SARS-CoV-2 infection."
So yes < 40 is at greater risk that > 40 but still less than risks from infection.robotinc - Dude, are we reading the same paper (the one you linked to)? Cause the increased risk in <40 is all over it .pr2

I'm pro vax... but there's one key factor missing here that Joe could have highlighted:
The idea is that 100% of people get the vaccine. But the idea is for only a few people to get Covid.
So if with Covid you're 8x more likely to get myocarditis, there would need to be a 1/8 infection rate for it to be worth vaxxing everyone.
But as I said I'm still pro vax, even pro vax mandate.
I'll fucking walk around with a Pfizer blow dart if it means I can get back to normal life someday soon
