When the word “paradigm” is used it is time to watch out. It usually signals World Class BS.
In case the rest of you wondered what the hell the poser I mean poster, was talking about...
“In a December 16 research note, Mamtani wrote that NVX-CoV2373 is “well-suited for COVID’s likely evolution into a relatively benign flu-like paradigm,”
adding that prior NEJM publications included datasets clinically validating that the Novavax platform “maintain[ed] high efficacy despite antigenic drifts, including via the adjuvant-specific effect.”
So the use of the word “paradigm” was accurate and not in any way “BS”
Looks like a “knee jerk” (heavy on the jerk) reaction to the word “paradigm”.
Medical Dictionary
