Paywalled. Herd immunity is not one strict number. It depends on the transmissibility of the virus. Alpha was more. Delta is much more. Now A.Y variant is slightly more than Delta. All these affect the herd immunity number. But you can&#x27

The moment he uses that word, his impartiality goes out of the window. Viruses adapt, the science adapts. You give your best information at that point and you don't want to muddy the public with confidence intervals and all that.

"lied" - interesting choice of words. So did Newton "lie" about his theories because he was disproved by Einstein?

Lot less probability though. Like saying people wearing seatbelts can also die.

This is called slippery slope argument. George Washington ordered his troops to be vaccinated. It's been the case for centuries and pretty much why a lot of us are alive now.

Except it's not. You can drink 15 gallons of Coke every day and that's your right. But you can't be a vector of transmissible diseases.

The silver lining with Delta is it's such a transmissible variant that it out-competes the more slowly spreading but more vaccine evasive variants. I hope we never see a more transmissible one than Delta

> It is no different than the anti-vaxers posting picture of people's social media feeds bragging about being vaccinated and then ending up in the hospital. What a sad analogy. One group that can take one or two shots and can drasti

Well, it's not the vaccines that protect you (because no vaccine is 100% efficacious) but it's the vaccination. Good luck!

Measles, Mumps, Diphtheria, Meningococcal Meningitis & Bordetella Pertussis are all having a party. Dear Cali expats to Texas, is it worth it?

You are against (anti-) taking a vaccine (-vaxxer). (The concern is just some internet dude on Facebook claiming he's discovered something really evil about Big Pharma)

He didn't lose his job for voicing a political opinion. He lost his job because they started having real financial impact (contractors dropping out etc.). Are you going to decree that others are forbidden to react to his comments?

Texas law forbids abortion even in case of rape/incest. However, per Gallup (your link) 77% of the people think it should be legal for rape/incest.

How is it 70% popular opinion? He's speaking for the draconian ~20% Texas rule.

Stop the tin-foil hat nonsense. Joe Rogan is not an expert. He refused the vaccine. There is no one out to get you. Hundreds of anti-vax, pro-horse-dewormer patients are dying due to COVID.

There's no rational discussion to be had between homeopathy doctor and an oncologist, for example. It's just a waste of bandwidth and source of misinformation which is killing innocents.

Right. I think Rust was the first to propose “?” operator as a syntactic sugar to Result and Option monads. (i am not 100% though) ref: https://m4rw3r.github.io/rust-questionmark-operator
