You seem to be making a few assumptions. The other half of the story could easily be that vaccinated individuals are equally likely to harbor detectable virus, I'm just pointing out that there is a big other factor to consider before w

This is only half the story. Compared to the unvaccinated, how likely are vaccinated individuals to have detectable virus in the first place?

On a more positive note, from your link #2: > The good news is that the vaccines continue to be highly effective against the virus in preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. For instance, three studies from Canada, Singapore

Absolutely. Brew manages pyenv, pyenv manages Python versions, venv manages Python packages / projects. Has been very reliable for the last decade or so, with my only complaint being the need for special linker flags when installing a

It's worded poorly but doesn't seem that opaque if you're familiar with CBT-I. There are things people do to hopefully make themselves fall asleep. Don't do those. In that set, if you intrinsically enjoy something (wit

Yes they do a pretty good job here, at least in my limited experience. My wife and I are in the Pfizer study. We had a questionnaire, a swab, and blood draws for antibody levels on enrolling, and have had multiple sets of bloodwork since th

I've seen several patients that were sicker the second time they got COVID, including people dying in their 20s and 30s. I can't speculate on what their antibody tests might have showed beforehand. Why would you not get vaccinat

I wonder how long it took for the written interpretation in each case? I work in a rural ER where the "stat" reads often take about an hour, sometimes up to 5 hours, and the quality is... such that I've gotten a lot of practi
