First of all you are arguing a decision from a year ago, when there was a lot more ambiguity about the rick and rewards of the booster. Also those scientists were essentially proved wrong - the booster almost certainly was better for everyo

by peter422 4y ago
Don’t take it then, nobody is forcing you. However this exact issue you are talking about was debated at the public FDA hearing on whether or not to approve the updated boosters. Most, but not all, of the people on the committee believed t

by peter422 4y ago
You incorrectly said 3 posts ago that the new boosters were only tested in mouse models. You are actively attempting to erode trust in public health and then lamenting that people are losing trust in public health. Give me a break.

I said most, not all. If 95% of people died from covid, and 5% died with covid, then basically for all intents and purposes and how we use this data, the distinction is irrelevant.

I never said the trials showed efficacy, though there are multiple high quality trials which do show serious benefits of 3rd/4th shots in various age groups. I just say they ran human trials, which your comment implied they didn’t. Al

Most people who had covid and died probably wouldn’t have died so quickly if they didn’t have covid. Why you do the mental gymnastics to pretend this isn’t true is so baffling.

Not how communicable diseases work. If enough people in the population take certain precautions, and those precautions limit the spread of disease, then there is some sweet spot between the virus’ contagiousness and number of people who tak

Please show any evidence of this claim. In trials the vaccines were tested in tens of thousands of people where adverse reactions were meticulously recorded and there just isn’t any evidence that the vaccines caused immediate death in anybo

So they ran the phase 2/3 trial in >1000 humans for fun? The problem with anti-vaxxers is you just imagine a world in which everything is underhanded and a conspiracy when all the science and data is out there in the open, just igno

I don’t like flying but I think this feeling is a little extreme. Airports really aren’t that crowded at all (other than a couple of pinch points), and just wear a mask and mind your business on the flight and you’re done in a couple of hou

I think your point is fine for Hans, I’m just ruling out the possibility that Magnus is overrated. The reason a lot of older players are overrated is because they stop playing as often and their rating doesn’t catch up to their decline. Ma

Magnus has played tons and tons of chess games this year and has maintained his rating. There is no doubt his rating is very accurate unless you think his skill started to deteriorate in the last month.

So the plan here was to scrape the job listings off another site (freshremote.work), pretend those people posted on your site, make a show HN and then hope someone is tricked into thinking this site actually gets traffic and pays you $49? I

Well for what it’s worth, this was simple shoplifting and the situation was escalated by the store owner. I’m not suggesting shoplifting is also not a crime, but it isn’t violent. And when somebody is chasing and grappling you it is a natu

Shielding your assets is a lot easier if you are a bad faith, “bankrupt” person than if you are a permanent business.

So you are telling me somebody thought it was a good idea to bucket 10 year olds with 59 year olds in a study regarding health outcomes. Can you think of any confounding issues among those samples when split only by vaccination status? Like

An awful lot of young athletes collapsed on the field prior to 2019 as well. Look into it. I’ve sadly witnessed it happen before.

I'll just say good for you for putting in the work. I think I accept the struggle with more positivity than you do (because I actively wanted to have kids), but it's still a struggle. People have tried to make me feel bad about it

I both dislike being a parent, occasionally dislike my child, yet love my child and am happy to be a parent. Though a lot of this is because I have a lot of friends with children around the same age and complaining brings me a lot of joy. S

But you have to buy and maintain the generator. In addition to the huge upfront cost a gas/diesel generator is going to require yearly maintenance (at minimum oil, oil filter, cycling the fuel). You’ll either need to do it yourself o

No because this works through Tesla software. And even if you could I doubt with fuel costs, the cost of the generator and cost of operating the generator you are not making much profit off $2/kw. But the real reason of course is that

Why does the EPA report that the MPG of new vehicles is at an all time high [1] (and has been going up consistently the last 15-ish years)? It seems like the new regulations are also working, in addition to having some other unintended cons
