dispatch_async posted:It's actually weirder than that. Two full doses >1 month apart was 62% effective. A half dose followed by a full dose >1 month later was 90% effective. 70% is the average when combining all the people from both samples. The half dose thing is interesting but like you say, it's only a small subset so is suspicious at least to me.

Pablo Bluth posted:The Pfizer and Moderns vaccine need ultra-cool storage requirements and special glass vials that sound like it will pose a serious challenge to scaling to a global level. This vaccine doesn't have that issue. Oh yeah, I meant to add that too. That makes a significant difference to ease and speed of rollout. Plus apparently the NHS is responsible for delivering it, not Capita or G4S or Serco or whoever. i also saw this on the Oxford website. Might be whitewashing but interesting nonetheless: quote:A key element of Oxford’s partnership with AstraZeneca is the joint commitment to provide the vaccine on a not-for-profit basis for the duration of the pandemic across the world, and in perpetuity to low- and middle-income countries. Compared to the other vaccines it is also much, much cheaper - $3-4 per dose, compared to $20-25.

I think as someone previously said, the TERFs and "it's basic biology" people genuinely expected science and medicine to come down on their side, and now that volumes of evidence and studies are coming out showing that, no, it's actually them that has been performing horrific unnecessary cosmetic surgery on children, they're fully losing their minds and the sort of barristers that might not believe a trans person but will believe a panel of doctors are stepping up to the plate.

Good morning comrades, hope you had a good weekend. I had coffee on Saturday with a comrade who has decided to stay in the party for now and 'be a nuisance'. He said around 20% of local CLP members have either resigned or are 'in arrears' and there are another bunch of annual renewals due in January from all the insurgents who joined last January to vote for The Starmster so to be seen how many of those don't renew. Many of those who have quit were the 'activists' - tramping around our geographically wide-spread constituency delivering leaflets, canvassing, staffing the stalls. We have local county and town council elections postponed from this year and Senedd coming up in May so depending on the covid situation, that could present a difficulty. Also, many are wavering badly. They had a branch AGM last week and passed a motion on local party democracy (as many others have done in the past week or so on) as in against Evans' order 'not to discuss anything meaningful at local CLP level' and another against the abstention in the spycops bill where apparently one of the speakers for the motion - as in against spycops bill - was one of the most right wing members who had quit under Corbyn and returned when Starmer got in.

Red Oktober posted:It does make theoretical sense, but it’s not a factor I’ve ever seen used. Are you registered on the electoral roll? If not then that’s a major ding - but you can help by speaking to the three agencies (in the MSE link below) and sending them some proof of where you live like a utility bill. Ahh thanks, I'll have a look. All I have is a student loan which is probably another part of the problem. The inconsistent adresses definitely too, I had no idea that was an issue, I move about a fair bit and tend to forget to update it.

Yes, but private speech could be Irish, commonwealth, EU or living in Scotland/Wales, all of which allow them to be on the roll. To clarify - being on the roll is a factor I’ve seen, being a foreigner is not (although certain nationalities have different weightings attached for fraud and AML purposes, which can have an influence) I vaguely recall that Student loan isn’t much use to the checking agencies because it doesn’t show ‘willingness’ to pay back, as it’s deducted at source.

Ms Adequate posted:Priti Patel engaging in negotiations with a foreign power behind the back of Cabinet and the PM Bizarrely this is the one that sticks out the most for me, that proves we are past the point of things mattering. Lots of people dying is a statistic (and also how dare you say the Tories murdered them, gammongammon), but the fact that you can now be fired/resign in disgrace for doing a bad thing, and come back moments later in a high-level cabinet position, is something that the actual political decorum types would have been outraged by just last decade. Red Oktober posted:Yes, but private speech could be Irish, commonwealth, EU or living in Scotland/Wales, all of which allow them to be on the roll. This just made me think, I'm assuming that new EU arrivals after January won't be allowed to vote in local elections. What about people who got in before the music stopped?

Probably. When it looks like someone in paliament is being held to account for being a real bad guy, that must mean all the others are not real bad guys, because if they were they would be held to account similarly, right? I loving hate our media industry so much. Bobstar posted:Bizarrely this is the one that sticks out the most for me, that proves we are past the point of things mattering.

This has been the case for at least 5 if not 10 years though. Remember disgraced former defence secretary Liam Fox who held several other cabinet positions after his disgrace? Remember Jeremy Hunt facing precisely zero consequences for the single biggest strike by medical workers in the last at least 50 years, possibly ever? In fact, Fox was probably, looking back, the trial balloon to an extent. If he coudl get back in to high level positions and nobody would actively give a gently caress, they knew anyone could, so they stopped carig.
