I think it would be pretty inaccurate to argue that because it's not "complete failure" that it's not a failure. People are dying of medically preventable situations on the basis of triage, and it is fairly widespread in

People are displeased when you inform them their 5 year old view of JS and React is indeed outdated, I suppose.

I would find it hard to believe that the failure mode of these headlights wouldn't be "points straight and doesn't auto-dim ever", which reduces it to the previous implementation's graceful aging modes, but you are

Strongly disagree. I see no bias in vaccine uptake with respect to health outcomes. If anything I would expect the more at-risk to be more likely to be vaccinated, which would skew results towards showing an anti-vaccination result, yet...

You would be some special kind of fool to think that what I call “death rate” isn’t the most obvious and only relevant statistic when it comes to describing vaccine effectiveness

Sorry, but you are making politically charged arguments. I am stating facts. COVID is defeated by Pfizer/Moderna when it comes to an increased background death rate, i.e. if 100% of the population had Pfizer & Moderna there would

"Rates" is the operative word, and I of course mean "in the vaccinated population", because antivax people will die from COVID; this is well-known. Seems to me that most EU countries are in a fourth wave of COVID with to
