I'm all for pushing back a bit against the usual HN crypto hate-fest, but you are really going about it in the most insufferable way possible. Maybe leave the crypto twitter level discourse out of it.

that correction is not relevant to this thread. The title is misleading when talking about vaccines alone vs infection alone, but it is not misleading in regards to this discussion - "you should still get a vaccine even if you have nat

from a business prospective it seems like a "reasonable" course of action, but of course not all business decisions are "reasonable" from an ethical perspective.

yea considering the post opens with how he is representing people fighting for natural immunity legitimacy and how it is never stated if he has had a previous infection, it seems purposefully written to make it sound like the repercussions

it seems like J&J has high efficacy against serious outcomes for delta (71% effective against hospitalization and 95% effective against death[1]) so it may be pretty comparable to the main alternatives. However, for options like Sinovac

so are they being put on leave for "challenging their vaccine mandate on behalf of Covid-recovered individuals with natural immunity" or because they refuse to get vaccinated in accordance with mandates?
375.
by shlant 5y ago
it seems like the current logic is to mix vaccines to create the most robust vaccine immune response, but depending on availability that may be easier said than done.

by shlant 5y ago

the extraordinary claim is that the narrative was made up to serve an alternate motive.

by shlant 5y ago
NPR is just referencing a quote from someone in a book. Not saying NPR is untrustworthy, just that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

by shlant 5y ago
let's say that what you are claiming is true (although your reference leaves much to be desired) - that doesn't mean that there is no "eggs-cholesterol danger", just that it was used as a narrative to combat inflation.
