Higher prevalence than say blood clots with AZ means it should become a thing. Seems to be affecting mainly 30yr old males - not many of those vaccinated worldwide - only place they are vaccinated enough for anything like a sample size (Israel) found it important enough to release details - probably a nothingburger though

No, thatās not how it works.
The US Military are keeping an eye on it - seems to be more Moderna than Pfizer (14 to 3). Mainly after 2nd jab.
And that shit he said still wasnāt as dumb as his decisions to welcome UFC fans to āThe Machida Eraā.
Joe Rogan always uses the āIām an idiotā defense to avoid accountability for saying stupid shit. Itās such a bullshit copout. For stand-up, itās fine to use and even makes jokes funny (see Bill Burr). For medical advice during a pandemic, itās bad.
Rogan is basically Oprah for men and he does have that degree of influence. Heās being willfully ignorant of that because itās convenient for him. This will not be the first time this happens because Joe Rogan has made a living speaking authoritatively about things he knows nothing about and he aināt gonna stop now.

Things are improving at a pretty slow pace in the Czech Republic. A bunch of stores are opening and some grades are going back to school.
Cases per 100,000 in the previous 7 days needs to drop below 100 before more opening can be done aside from whatās already planned. Theyāre at 141 across the country but 110 in Prague.
Reproduction rate still hanging around 0.8. I really wish we were competent enough to do things like this a year ago. Life would have been much easier.

Based upon what?
This is hot garbage.
Nah, come on.
Iād be very hesitant about that, thereās generally no such thing as ātop ICU docā, although I canāt say Iām familiar with Tampaās system
I donāt think thatās the important part of the tweet.
Thatās an important observation coming from just about any non-hack ICU doc.
Then why put in ātop icu docā? It undermines the credibility of the reporter to me. It may be true but it just doesnāt feel quite right
Iām struggling to get too upset over a bunch of 50-year-old goateed morons with wraparound shades who refuse to get vaccinated.
But the doctors and nurses donāt need to go through that shit. And Iām sure a lot of them have decent kids who donāt need to lose a parent.

āMostlyā is probably an exaggeration. But the ratio does seem to be skewing younger.

Newspapers and stuff like 60 Minutes need to be finding and interviewing the kids of these people who refused the vaxx and died.
Yeah, I agree the reporter is probably just bullshitting that part.
On the other hand, I donāt doubt the direct quote.
So as long as it came from some competent ICU doc, the credibility problem (wrt ātop ICU docā) is less important in this particular instance.
Itās a king of the hill system where if you kill the top ER doc you take over.

Oz leading the way to the bottom
The travel ban preventing Australians in India from returning home could be subject to legal challenges, with lawyers and academics believing the extraordinary measure may breach the law.
Scott Morrisonās government has been condemned for its āoutrageousā decision to introduce fines of up to $66,600 or five years in prison, or both, for anyone defying a travel ban preventing Australians returning home from India.
The travel ban officially begins on Monday, in what is believed to be the first time Australia has banned its own citizens from returning home.

this is a weird thing to get hung up on imo
when I read it, I didnāt take it to imply some sort of hierarchy, just to mean a guy who is well known and well regarded and has been in the job a long time. The use of āmaybeā there clearly implies itās not some sort of official title.
