    I am cracking up about the water article. I was just thinking about it this weekend, when my (boomer) parents travelled across the country to visit me (elder Millennial), without bringing water bottles with them. I don’t travel down the street without my water bottle! Maybe they bought some Snapple at the airport to drink on the plane?

  2. Crystal says:

    Regarding covid vaccines/infections — It is important to understand that these first-wave vaccines were not designed or tested to prevent all covid infections; rather, they were designed to prevent *severe* covid-19 symptoms (and thus keep people alive, off respirators, and out of hospitals). (Also, at the time these vaccines were being tested, it wasn’t feasible to, say, test every vaccinated trial participant multiple times per week to determine if they’d developed low-level covid infections.) For example, the FDA Guidance for Industry on covid-19 vaccine development states: “As it is possible that a COVID-19 vaccine might be much more effective in preventing severe versus mild COVID-19, sponsors should consider powering efficacy trials for formal hypothesis testing on a severe COVID-19 endpoint. Regardless, severe COVID-19 should be evaluated as a secondary endpoint (with or without formal hypothesis testing) if not evaluated as a primary endpoint.” https://www.fda.gov/media/139638/download In other words, we need to reset out own expectations of what these vaccines are and how they are intended to help us. They are highly effective in preventing serious covid symptoms, and based on current data are also effective in *preventing covid*, but we have to understand that a 0% infection rate against all variants, without herd immunity, isn’t feasible at this point in time, and we need to continue taking appropriate distancing, masking, cleaning, and other measures.

      I’m in the Johnson and Johnson trial, and I don’t even get tested every time I go in. I think they tested before the initial injection (I ended up getting a placebo), and then when I went in for the unblinding before getting the actual vaccine. Otherwise, they just do a blood draw to test for antibodies, and I have two testing kits at home in case I do develop symptoms.

    The water article was hilarious and really resonated with me. I barely remember drinking water when I was growing up – lots of milk, Capri-Suns, and juice. Now, I don’t leave my apartment without a full Camelbak of water!

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
