Took the nut almost 20 minutes to spam the thread LOL!
Poor thing is losing it now that it’s ignored.
Not much news.
See a lot of complaints about the Israeli report, but unconvincing to me. My attitude is it’s one report, we’ll see what else we see. There are others showing better vax results.

Remember, observational vaccine study data are not randomized trial data. Allow for additional fudge factors. Importantly:
- Based on smaller epidemic, lower # of cases
- Fewer unvaccinated people, makes matching harder
- Does not negate other studies with higher VE estimates”
Seeing discussion of reduced dosages so more can be vaxxed.
We’ll see. There certainly seems to be much to gain from just exposing the immune system so it can learn the virus instead of starting from scratch when attacked.
Though having a whole bunch of specific antibodies can’t hurt too.
And I’ll continue my rant about it being so inconvenient for rural people to get vaxxed. But quietly...
I've been hearing talk of smaller doses for a while, and I believe there is a trial in progress. The dose sizes they arrived at were a "one size fits all" solution, to include older folks weaker immune systems. Moderna has already initiated a plan to manufacture "half doses".
Yes, it is sad that there is someone who must spam threads which he or she might not agree with while admonishing others on threads he or she posts to not spam or disrupt.
The vaccines are not causing variant. The vaccines are reducing death and critical illness in Israel. The Pfizer chief today stated that the end of the pandemic is in sight world wide. This, plus the entrance of stage II trials in Greece of a targeted oral anti viral will allow people to stop sniffing the dirt for drugs that are at best incomplete solutions.
R&D moves forward to meet the challenges presented.
“We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world’s greatest artists and the world’s greatest economy. We reached for the stars, and we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn’t belittle it; it didn’t make us feel inferior. We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn’t scare so easy. And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered.”
This quote is from the opening of newsroom — note — We cured disease — we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence, we didn’t belittle it, we were informed.
But not any more — we are not acting like men with this constant drumbeat of never advancing. The fact of the matter is the people who refuse progress are scared very easily. It is hardly that which built this great country. Thank God PDJT had the gonads to launch operation warp speed, and put s serious dent in this pandemic. Something many people seem to forget.
