Those are already the complications associated with not vaccinating, so putting them on the table again would double-count them. Not sure I agree with their ‘hundreds of millions (per year)’ figure. That seems like unnecessary fear-mongerin

I don’t know any specifics about this, so this as an attempt at asking questions of what to possibly expect from those numbers. Alberta seems to be 63% vaccinated, which seems to put them well above average for the US? And it looks like tho

Those also have low breakthrough rates (assisted by high vaccination percentages), giving it relatively no opportunity to evolve. They also had millennia to reach (and then work to maintain) peak fitness, while COVID is still encountering b

Tangential question: what is the mechanism by which we observe ‘displacement’ of earlier strains? Is it just the exponentially higher transmission factor of the variant that is making it relatively disappear? Or are they somehow also get ou

That assume it presents as a HID, and not another device profile with more direct attack surface in the hardware or kernel. Windows isolates the USB drivers to thwart such attacks, but perhaps it could manage to attack memory directly throu

Yes, PCP involvement is wise. Reading deep into that link, I notice it says their advice (for 1 dose) is predicated specifically on the drop in infectivity rates in June, implying that that the more virulent delta strain that began circulat

I agree there is a lot of hysterical speculation, around everything from the initial high death rates to the supposed benefits of HCQ. And slowly we have need to attempt to re-evaluate the data, when it is possible. I really wonder how we c

Anyone else feel like this is quite the devils choice they faced: either they kept recommending vaccinations based on the strong data that it is best for nearly everyone’s health[no citation needed] against fears that this will undermine tr

(IANAL) I thought the court was required to serve more important papers (like warrants) via courier, in-person. But agreed that does lack scalability.

Wow, yeah. There was several months where the daily count of unvaccinated deaths in the US exceeded the total count of VAERS deaths. I don’t know where he got his numbers, but seems like he dropped a couple orders of magnitude from his

I like to read this with the belief that his attitude towards the ads had somehow led to the class-action lawyer ads being 100% relevant.

I tried to find the source for this claim too in the past. The nearest I can find is that it implies the HVAC system is sized correctly: if the system is optimally sized, it should need to run most of the time to stay at the desired tempera

I wonder if that would be true at steady-state (e.g. when the train is effectively empty), but for a train at rush hour, whether much of the capacity of the AC system is already being used to remove heat generated from the humans, and if th

If he wrote instead of “does it prevents death? Perhaps.” actual estimated numbers, I think the question would be clearer: “is 300000 bigger than 6000? Perhaps.” But that “Perhaps” seems to be doing a lot of work there, which would normally

I don’t see that exact quote, but the article seems to be a list of many of the reasons just inserting the same mRNA sequence may not work as desired. To compare contextually also, researchers now spend substantial effort to teach simple mo

That is what I meant to say also. So not to beat a dead horse, but there is no meticulous data gathering from unvaccinated people either, and we know that also suffers from vast underreporting. The one data set (being unvaccinated) simply a

It looks like singledispatch is still relatively new, so it feels like that might not yet be representative either? But the bigger distinction would be that Julia uses multiple dispatch, not just single, so the argument order does not dict

What seems amazing to me, is that after all of that data manipulation attempting to support their anti-vaxx premise, they still manage to prove the vaccine is the most logical choice for absolutely everyone, reducing deaths by over 30%. (De

Isn’t that 2% of CFR (particularly also hospitalizations), not IFR? Still many people (and thus is the reason that historically regions of the US, dating back to George Washington, mandated some vaccines), just not the whole world.

by manwe150 5y ago
Curiously, I recently learned that George Washington imposed a mandate on the troops that required them to get the new vaccine, the first ever such idea. This means we owe the existence of our freedoms to mandatory vaccinations. https:&#x2

After vaccinating half the population, with the rate of discovered issues being hard to measure because it is almost background noise, the data is unlikely to substantially change for the other half of the population. PCPs already are aware

I think it shares aspects of defense-in-depth with your example. I am not sure the other details are quite as similar, since testing your immunity response with vaccination also typically strengthens your response, while getting into once a

What editor do you use, if I may ask, and have you asked them to add unicode support? Part of the goal in permitting unicode variable names is that more and more niche editors might be forced to become fluent in languages other than english

I see nobody answered, so I'll take a brief shot at giving my understanding. It seems like natural immunity is good enough, if you indeed have built successful defenses. But eventually this hope was probably going to be tested (particu

I would make the claim to be constantly evaluating the validity of statements I have not heard, and may never hear. This may sound like nonsense, but the flip-side of censorship is not excess of information but curation. If my news sources

I heard the earth was flat only a few months ago too—it does not make either claim any more likely to be true. And FWIW, I have seen many ivermectin articles on HN (check my past comments), and all seem to say roughly the same thing, so the

I scrolled though a bit wondering that too. Seems that buried in the post is a graph that shows it actually was a dramatic plunge in deaths correlated with the vaccination. I say ‘buried’ because it is surrounded by graphs and text concerne

And it may get even worse than that: in a world with dozens of countries vaccinated, statistically one is expected to show correlations where none exists.

I vaguely recall using the L/R scroll to intentionally alter event timing, and needing to be aware of viewport variations from my usual run as I got faster, to avoid something being in the wrong place. But it has been many years now si
