COVID-19: Chapter 7 - Brags, Beats, and Variants

Meh, wouldn’t get too excited. They likely didn’t ask a relevant clinical question for a reason.

What I mean by that is that no one really gives a shit what their viral loads are. They care about things like did I die, did I have to go to the hospital, did I feel better faster, etc. In fact, I highly doubt they didn’t look at this things which makes me super suspicious. Can’t find the paper yet.

Looks like it might not exist? Here’s the PR release:

Tellingly, this was a secondary objective. Wouldn’t get too excited.

First off this shit doesn’t get taught in medical school because no one gives a shit about this. Second, talking down to someone one post after you made a mistake in efficacy/effectiveness is pretty funny.

You’re learning. From no link to using the distinction yourself.

Pretty sure you just need to be a rich Republican donor to get shot in Florida.

I agree. I want people vaccinated as quickly as possible.

From the place I got shot, the staff there seemed to feel the same way.

I imagine socially engineering a vaccine would not be horribly difficult.

I was just joking about vaccine fraud compared to voter fraud and why something even more important is not a high level right wing crisis like voter fraud. What if illegals are stealing our shots just to take their vaccinated butts back to Mexico

Way back when I worked on a process to make one of the Tamiflu ingredients. My company had a contract to produce it after I left. We initially lost out to a process where they were literally squeezing and extracting the compound out of some fruit in China. Turns out the biotech process gave a more reliable and pure product.

The story of this thread. Make up wrong definitions or misunderstand definitions for precise terms. Argue your point ad nauseum. Rinse repeat.

Here is how the math works on say 91%???

10,000 get the vax and are compared to standard rates per 10,000 in the similar general population. (Same physical locale, similar demographics…)

Say in the time period evaluated 100 out of 10,000 got infected in the general population group.

But in the vax group 9 got infected.

(100-9)/100=91%

It’s a generally accepted assumption that if we were instead in a general population where—If say 500 got infected because there were different factors such as no masking or social D and a some variants present—then there would about 45 positives in the vax group (still 91%).

It’s easy to thought experiment why the assumption wouldn’t hold, but I believe in general it almost always holds true.

So like everything else (can the fully vaxxed transmit the virus-very most likely not or not much) we have to stay vigilant but let’s let the experts lose sleep watching for significant unlikely events.

CN-let me know if I botched any of this.

Did I mention the UK variant? Around about 14th Dec 2020.

Funtimes ahead or a nothingburger, you decide.

10 days to double so Florida probably already at 80% (testing lag)

The second one installs the tracking device in your bloodstream. It’s why the immune response is greater.

Does Switzer have anything in his history to make me like or dislike him more than the average athlete?

No seems like a pretty good dude from the little I have seen.

So this might end up being a thing. Not sure what to make of it yet, but I’ve seen in separately in a few places now.

2.9M doses administered today according to wapo. that’s a nice pace. might even get to millennials in may.

We are getting to everyone in May. As I’ve said multiple times, we are weeks away from a demand problem.
