    About 20% of PCR tests are false negative even when viral counts are at their highest. Here's the study.

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Source for this "fact" please? If it's the AMA, what % of physicians currently belong to the AMA? What about DOs? I know many physicians who have chosen NOT to get vaccinated. Seems like this...

    Haven't researched it at

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I thought that natural immunity being better had been the prevailing science until the COVID vaccine, but maybe I was wrong. I don't think you said it. One of the studies I posted showed natural...

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everything you wrote makes a lot of sense. You raise a good point about high infection risk. You are worried about getting it, given you aren't high morbidity? What happened to natural immunity...

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The way I read it is that the patient had developed immunogenicity through the vaccine - as "nucleocapsid IgG/IgM was not elicited" so it doesn't sound like he had been previously infected....

    Hi 10g, I love the detailed scientific analysis and sharing of peer-reviewed publications that you have done with this topic. I'm curious what you found that lead you to believe that there's no...

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for sharing that article. That is exactly my situation (genetic susceptibility to an immune-mediated disease) and that is why I was fortunate enough to find a doctor who would write a medical...

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry, what I meant to say was the vaccines don't provide immunity. Now they are having waning efficacy - one of those studies was the precurser to the preprint one I shared with the waning efficacy....

    How much have you studied the COVID vaccines? Show me in the peer-reviewed literature where it states that the COVID vaccines "stimulate the immune system to produce immune responses that protect...

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry, my mistake. The point is that the vaccine in and of itself is not effective. This was in fully vaccinated healthcare workers - breakthrough cases. 251 times the viral load as the old strain....

    mdOldie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good point about Ah yes, and here's a preprint study from the Lancet (still undergoing peer review) that shows viral load in fully vaccinated is 251 times higher than unvaccinated....

    Effectiveness of vaccine is waning with the prevalence of the Delta variant. It is now estimated at 66%. From the latest CDC report During December 14, 2020–August 14, 2021, full vaccination...

    mdOldie replied to epowetata's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks so much for the update! Good to know what I'm in for this fall since communication has been somewhat lacking - as you say - "they take a bit of time and patience to get everything done."...

    Hi everyone, It's a bit nuts. It happened, to me, I was told the same thing Summer admission period. Then I got in (no change in application). In the meantime I've been taking piles of units over...

  18. No Scott Toilet Paper?

    mdOldie replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I can't believe it, a thread about Scott TP! I called Scott and they told me they had plenty and had ramped up production, but I think it was just someone who didn't know anything. I finally gave up...

    @jluc13 Make sure your A&P and Micro were upper division - some of those are not transferrable. Here's the link to their course articulation database....

    @nicolie So - these are the Nursing Core Classes - 16 months and then the there is the 2 LBSUs - 2 months. That makes 18. Is that how you are counting it and that is what they are saying?...

    I am with you @ABSN_SD , I expected to get in without TEAS and other prereqs starting this Summer. I am hoping not to wait until fall 2021 to start somewhere, and I don't want to wait forever or have...
