  That's only a problem for the few that actually read the articles...

Sign me up. I’m already on the annual flu vaccine train. Frankly I don’t want to have to miss work for a week, and there’s no way to know if I’d have a light case or not. (Side note: got influenza a month ago and was sick for a week+. Freakin a flu sucks.)

Awesome. I hope that I won't have to wait long in line to get it.

The company’s official press release [1] provides more details on neutralizing titers against BA.4/BA.5 which are the emerging Omicron variants today vs. BA.1 which was the original Omicron variant. The result is noteworthy in light of recent research [2].

Yeah, sure. I'll get whatever. By August who knows if it'll do any good, but my immune system won't mind the workout. I had COVID a couple weeks back. I'm triple vaccinated. It was like a moderately bad cold. If vaccines provide me with assurances that every bout I have with it will be just that, I'll still get them. But I'm pretty over doing just about anything else.

    Ah, mr. Kaplan is at it again! Looks like he has found some magic numbers no one else has.

      Yeah, I wonder why there aren't a ton of these studies? > Funding Information: This study had no funding support. Oh.

        The results in the paper are not statistically significant. It is measuring non stat sig tail events from the trial. The only statistically significant result is the 95% efficacy of the vaccine. This paper compares serious hospitalizations in the placebo group versus side effects in the treatment group, neither of which has stat sig data. In particular the number of covid19 infections/exposure in the 4 month period were small, a couple of hundred, whereas the vaccine exposure was 10K+. The paper simply ignores basic normalization of the data for exposure.
