September 26, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, we_gotta_believe said: Nobody ever said there was no potential downside, only that the potential downside of a covid infection without immuntiy is orders of magnitude worse. Also, Offit still says to get vaccinated for anyone who hasn't had 3 doses yet or no recent prior infection, inluding young children under 5, but I'm sure that's the sort of advice the morons will conveniently gloss over because they're only listening to cherry-picked clips from other incels on twitter. Here's the full interview for reference. Oh that's wild he's still recommending it to small children when many countries' experts have banned that practice. Which experts to believe? I guess I should wait until the fact-checkers weigh in.

September 26, 20232 yr Yeah genius its been on the site since May 2020. Because it's never been something doctors can't prescribe, it would just be off label if it is.
September 27, 20232 yr I will probably have to cancel hosting the game Sunday. What do you think? It will be Day 7. What if I test negative after Day 5? Yesterday I slept in the middle of day for 4 hours. Brutal. Plus slept all night. This morning was good but starting to feel bad again. Comes in waves so I know it's time for more Advil.

If you test negative on a home test, you're definitely no longer contagious. You're probably minimally contagious on day 7 even if you're still positive. In my case, I think I was still testing positive until day 9 or so but I can't imagine I was still contagious then given that I stopped wearing a mask inside on day 6 and nobody else caught it.

September 30, 20232 yr Tested negative yesterday so having the game tomorrow. Only took me a week to convert the basement from work shop for the cottage to back to normal. TV is acting up though, it keeps shutting off. Reset the box but still. Ugh
September 30, 20232 yr Someone needs to change your air filter and get your ducts cleaned, that's probably not helping your air quality
September 30, 20232 yr Has anyone ever noticed that Fantasy by Aldo Nova sounds like the theme from Hunter?

Many Asians masked up even before Covid, there surely have to be efficacy studies. This idea that masks do nothing is bizarre. Their effectiveness is variable, but people have started believing that anything less than 100% effectiveness means it something doesn't work 🤷♂️

I traveled a lot in Asia and there weren't that many people masked. Never anything like what we saw with COVID masking. Don't think it would be comparable for use thru studies. In any case, no doubt the cocktail of measures was the cause so all of those things listed plus others contributed to some extent.

The article is about 2020-21.. remote schooling was still the norm, and a lot of limitations around being in the office or open to the public if you were a restaurant or other service business

Most states ended stay-at-home orders in the June / July timeframe.
September 30, 20232 yr I am a statistician. I'm also a statistician with a good BS detector. There is little variation in age by state. And to the extent there is, it doesn't argue in your favor. The four oldest states are West Virginia (very red), Florida (pretty red), Maine (pretty blue) and Vermont (very blue). What are their COVID death rates (per 1M population) since Feb. 1, 2021 (i.e. post-vaccine?): West Virginia: 3454 Florida: 2992 Maine: 1881 Vermont: 1210 These states all have the ~same elderly population, and yet there are huge variations in COVID death rates that line up 1:1 with partisan differences in vaccine uptake.

They pay people who have been trained to give them the best advice. It is only recently that a huge chunk of the population took to believing you tube nut bags over their doctor. I guess it is not in your head to USE yours.
October 1, 20232 yr From one of the scientists, specifically calling out media outlets for exaggerating and amplifying something as standard as quality control measures into an anti-Covid vax narrative: To those of you following my comments on DNA in the mRNA vaccines. 1. The DNA is real, however the risk of this DNA is theoretical. There is no need to panic about past vaccination. 2. My comments were directed toward regulators and industry experts, they were not intended for the general public. The unanticipated wide distribution outside the intended target audience has caused unintended and totally inappropriate anxiety in the general public. Everyone calm down. Please. 3. I was very concerned at how my comments were being used by people fighting with each other and therefore temporarily silenced this account to keep some of you from throwing rocks at each other. Many thanks to those qualified experts who engaged critics and defending me during my absence. 4. Scientists and industry experts are constantly reviewing safety data. This is a normal process. With all the extra attention this issue has gotten last week I am pretty confident that future batches of mRNA vaccines will not have detectable DNA in it. 5. IMO, these vaccines saved a lot of lives. Far more than the number of people who have had medical events subsequent to vaccine. So overall, these vaccines were a win. However, those who experienced harm deserve to have scientists and regulators look carefully at possible causes. Even if the adverse events turn out to have nothing to do with the vaccine, these people deserve to be heard with dignity and respect and have their concerns investigated by competent and caring people. 6. Peace.
