Comparing the vaccines based on their trials isn’t as straightforward as you think:

Yeah this was the part that I was obsessing over.
Georgia has ended the pandemic. Congratulations Georgia!

J&J is a good old fashioned vaccine so clearly the best. The new mNBA vaccines are barely tested so could make you grow a 3rd ear down the road, nobody knows. That’s what I’ve heard anyway.

Got Pfizer jab #2 at 12:30 today. Have a mildly sore arm and a bit of fatigue. Feels pretty lucky so far. We’ll see what tomorrow is like.

Feel better. And keep us updated.
I knew full well about the hospitalization and deaths comparison, but I didn’t know that J&J was explicitly tested against the South African and Brazilian variants, and at higher case loads than Pfizer and Moderna. Those are really compelling points in its favor for overall efficacy, let alone convenience of both receiving it and distribution of it.
The ultimate point being - your lungs still have scarring, which could cause problems even if you don’t notice it right away.
I don’t see Dodgers Stadium on myturn.ca.gov. Do you? Why would they not be on there?
Also that tweet isn’t available anymore. Which makes me wonder if that was a pic of the testing line, not the vaccine line.
I googled Dodgers Stadium vaccine - which leads to carbon health for some reason, which says they’re booked.
If they really have a ton of appointments, I think I know why.
Sure. But my point is that it’s kind of hard to notice a significant drop in lung capacity unless you’re exercising and tracking performance, because there’s so much spare lung capacity. Like dudes can lose a whole lung and live a normal life. But it’ll effect your mile time bigly I would imagine.
Sure I’ll go with scarred lungs just for fun. Probably fine right?
Other than that not KEEEEEDING with you on this one, sorry.
What? I’m just saying that most people might not notice, but athletes probably would be more likely to because they would notice a decrease in athletic performance, because they’re actually measuring and tracking it. I’m not saying it’s fine that people have damaged lungs. Just, how would they know?
keeed is right here.
Scarring isn’t quite right either (it’s close), those changes in your lung usually resolve.
Don’t know if this has been posted, but it’s a pretty interesting article (but as much focused on govt procurement as vaccination).
Well if they never know, why isn’t it fine?
I guess I can imagine some arguments, but if it’s not fine, it’s still has to be pretty close (assuming they literally never know).

Is there something called plastic or rubber lung? Basically the tissue becomes stiffer and it takes quite a while for it to go back to normal. There was some such claim for Uncle Frank.
There’s a whole bunch of restrictive lung diseases that make lungs stiffer and they can involve breathing stuff in like asbestos, silica and more. But not that I know of
