You mean that chicken thing? Total different. But it could have happened. Sars-cov died off because it was too deadly and not enough infectious. Imaging there was a vaccine against Sars-cov to make it less deadly. Perhaps we could have kept

New variants need more mutation cycles. If vaccines slow down transmission (what they do) then they contribute to lower probability of emergence of new variants.

There is oral vaccine in development, so maybe some day...

It is a good perspective. I mean invoking Shannon part. There are definitely limitations to the antibody levels because otherwise we would just explode, right? But it makes sense to try to keep levels high in the event of pandemic. Our bodi

Are you talking about Israel? My friend from there told me that regardless of huge political differences, there has not been stupid rivalry because of covid.

No, they advise against doing it too often i.e. doing 4th shot shortly after 3rd. That's all.

R9 for measles is even higher - 10-12 but it has long incubation period that makes is much slower. Omicron is the fastest spreading virus in history so far.

Ct value is just a proxy to viral load and it has been found that the same Ct value results in less cultivable virus for vaccinated. This negative effect is really most likely because of some confounding factors as others have said. I have

I vouched this dead comment to just ask something. Are you a retard? Nigeria just bulldozered millions of still valid vaccines into the ground instead of using them to vaccinate their most vulnerable. There are not many in the late age risk

Look at Israel. They vaccinated themselves out of epidemic twice. Just stop pretending that delta was the same as native virus and everything moves into place. Their current vaccination levels are too low to stop omicron but they are not dy

They do. You just have to apply enough of them. Just stop pretending that 2 doses are enough to stop delta or omicron and move forward.

There are easier ways to say that I am not as smart I think I am. No need to use 1000 words for that.

Or any clinical trial.

I did not know that there was a journal for fairy tales. When persons do not know history of epidemic control, they better keep their mouths shut. Do they claim that medieval Venice was a welfare state?

Yes, we could have and we could have deployed vaccines in short months. But we did not because we found it not to be ethical. Letting millions of people die was found much more ethical. Also keeping strict control over vaccine production wa

Still running? Not sure what has gotten into them. They are also still running https://www.principletrial.org/ to validate favipiravir and ivermectin. They have continued to hire new patients for months. I guessed that ther

They say that it is kind of molecular test, what ever it means - everything has molecules in it. Looks like a fancy rapid test in a wasteful package based on the initial reading.

Sweet Jesus. I hoped that after Israel became front runner for the Pfizer vaccine, there is no stupid shit like this.

The idiots behind this nonsense deserved it. We still see these clowns around and it is clear what they were from the beginning - lie spreading anti-vaxxers. It is also surprising how many idiots come from Harvard.

That is the issue. Normally war is among forces wanting to fight. Others are causalities or enemy collaborators even. I think if we (the world) had taken this as what it really is - a war, we would have been done with it by now. Even by now

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania disagree with you. So does Ukraine and Georgia. Also Finland and Norway would like to have few words with you.

There is one difference: Singer et al paper excludes all patients with previous cardiac incidents.

Yes, I know this study. Thanks. I think this is better reference https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.23.21260998v... These papers are not directly comparable. Singer et al paper estimates first occurre

I wanted to specify that I find these attempts to but vaccination and covid-19 into perspective very important. This is first study that I know so far has truly attempted to do so. Now in current state they create more confusion and possibl

No, they did not. What they meant was that already Delta is so contagious that only very limited amount of people can avoid it - r0 ~ 6-8 will make sure of it that ~85-90% of people must be immune to stop its spread. Seasonal flu has r0 =

How many of the unvaccinated in Ontario have been previously infected by any previous variants? Is there any recent seroprevalence data available?

Normally we know how many people are vaccinated because we counted them. Are you sure that this 8.5% is the correct figure though? How big could be the possible error here? How big is omicron prevalence in Denmark? ECDC data appears to be w
