I mean, that's the basic idea behind a Lazarus character in any number of works of fiction.

Yeah, if you are testing positive it means you are shedding virus. It takes a reasonable amount for most tests, I think - I (probably) got it back in June right after my wife did but I never tested positive

if you test every day you get a nice update as the line fades to nothing

when I got it my first negative test was 10 days exactly after my first positive one

I just learned that the Moderna booster is half the dose of the Moderna first shots, while the Pfizer booster is the same dose as the Pfizer first shots

the part that I "..."-skipped was "highest w/ 2nd shot, Moderna"

from googling it seems like the pfizer first shots are 0.3mL https://www.google.com/search?q=pfizer+ ... e&ie=UTF-8
vs. the moderna first shots are 0.5 ml https://www.google.com/search?q=moderna ... e&ie=UTF-8

Yeah I had also heard they were ~3x as strong, which checks out with these figures.

It's kinda crazy to me how interchangeably they were treated, despite differences like this.

I have no idea how "dose" or "strength" works with a vaccine though.

Vaccines are not like regular active chemicals. If I drink twice as much coffee I get twice as wired. If I drink a hundred times as much coffee, I probably die. Vaccines are more like... information, right? I only know how classic vaccines work (with the dead/inactive pathogens), but the point there is to have your immune system "learn" the pathogen by giving them harmless training targets. The dead pathogen doesn't really do anything other than that. I assume if you take like a 10x or a 100x dose of polio vaccine, nothing much happens, it still works fine. It's just unnecessary.

i remember people talking about higher vaccine dosages leading to more intense side effects - i would guess because the more faux-virus you get the harder your immune system reacts (which is what causes the side effects)? idk if there's any benefit like where a stronger immune reaction = more protection, or if it's like what you said where it's more of a binary thing (yes/no has your immune system "learned" the pathogen)

well it could trigger a stronger immune system response, for one

for what we're talking about, we mean, x times amount of additional mnra, which would presumably create x time more spike proteins, and then you're back in classic vaccine territory (kinda)

anecdotally this happened to me. i got less side effects with pfizer

i believe the amount of more protection is very marginal (pfizer and moderna very similar in efficacy, moderna slightly ahead, last i checked)
