  1. I wonder how many anti-vaxxers have that as a reason for their reluctance? I've seen it as a meme on the HCA reddit thread, but not very often. I doubt (with absolutely no basis ;-) that it comprises a double-digit percentage of all sarscov2 anti-vaxxers.
  2. Religious exemption form for healthcare workers seeking not to take the vaccine. https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2021/09/11/about-religious-exemptions-for-vaccine-resisters-conway-regional-health-system-says-you-must-really-mean-it
  3. Interesting open letter from a year ago to the then FDA head regarding his mis-statements about covid treatments, in particular the purported benefit of convalescent plasma, and succumbing to pressure from the administration: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/936611 Recent paper showing that convalescent plasma has been found to have no benefit, and actually harmed patients. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01488-2
  4. There are hundreds of these on https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ It is sad, at least many of them are. FAFO applies to most of them. I unfriended someone on FB a year ago for posting similar memes and other political things that he knew were lies.
  5. Here is some data showing good correlation between neutralizing antibodies and protection from symptomatic infection:
  6. Not sure how this Israeli infection rate data numerical transforms to protection rate, but you can see the trend.
  7. Pan-corona vaccine looks like a possibility.
  8. 100LL will no longer be available at my local airport. Not sure of the date, just been decided. Factions have been trying to get rid of the airport for decades.
  9. Data from Israel shows good protection from the 3rd dose. Data is from 1M people, about 55/45 split between those that had the 3rd dose and those that only had the 2 doses. Greater than 10x improved protection.
  10. It seems that being overweight and having a goatee is an additional risk factor.
  11. What is stopping companies from building more homes apartments condos? Not enough demand? NJ real estate taxes are double that of California.
  12. Edit: might have been in poor taste.
  13. He got off the ventilator and out of the ICU 6 days ago. I haven't seen an update since then.
  14. At a school meeting regarding masks, things get a bit demonstrative.
  15. Interesting, easy to read paper regarding transmission: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/373/6558/eabd9149.full Figure 3 shows how long aerosols can linger as a function of size. Figure 5 shows distribution of where aerosols inhaled will be deposited.
  16. A cougar went into a bar in Austin, Texas, and saw a cowboy with his feet propped up on a table. He had the biggest boots she had ever seen. The older lady asked the man " is it true what they say that men with big feet are well endowed?". The man grinned and said.. "Sure is little lady why don't you come to my apartment and let me prove it to you?". The lady considered she might never get an offer like this again and was curious to find out for herself so she spent the night with him. The next morning she handed him $100 bill. Blushing he said "Well thank you, I'm really flattered...no one has ever paid me for my 'services' before!". "Don't be flattered" she replied. "Take the money and buy yourself boots that fit ".
  17. Humans are not supposed to eat that. They aren't even supposed to eat meat of horses treated with that.
  18. Maybe we should have a thread for best covid memes.
  19. Here is an interesting thread on waning immunity: https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1429878189011111936 I don't have a twitter acct, and after a while (number of pages) on another thread I was unable to click on a linked thread or page -- opening in an incognito window got around that roadblock. This is the other one I read: https://twitter.com/EricTopol
  20. A left wing blogger I follow on youtube had an interesting take. Of the four presidents who were in office, he places the most responsibility on Obama, since Obama is the smartest of the four and did little to address the situation.
  21. A lot of what I hear/read is like this: It's not that I oppose opening the door, it's that I oppose the *way* we opened the door. I would simply have gotten all of the bowls out beforehand.
