They're claiming to be 'waiting for more data' but the truth is there won't be any data because so few people got J&J that it isn't even being studied

Interesting post from Carl Bergstrom about the Israeli observations of decreased efficacy:
https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1427767357808603139?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Each age group considered separately has high effectiveness (>85%), but it declines to 67.% when they're combined. Basically there's a lot of unvaccinated young people that don't get that sick while there's a lot of vaccinated old people that do get sick. Combining the two age groups obscures the fact that the vaccinated do significantly better than the unvaccinated within the corresponding age group. Feels a bit like P-hacking, except there's a robust physical explanation to justify "binning" the data by age.

a fun retrospective would be a visualization of how much data other vaccines have been approved on compared to all the poo poo we have with these and how we aren’t doing anything.

make sure u get boosted to poo poo for shingles but uhhh a deadly pandemic? let’s just wait this one out

Tetanus shots may well be effective past ten years.

We give boosters because when in doubt, better safe than sorry.

That is apparently a piece of wisdom that has been forgotten.

Not all in the necessity of getting advance booster shots, esp if they're coming in the fall anyway, but this doesn't apply to people walking around with a single JJ dose. I'd absolutely get a booster now if I got JJ originally and wouldn't feel even a little guilty.

Yeah no guilt here, I just hate lying. Washington State does track vaccine status so I'm trying to come up with a fake name to give them when I walk in.

Yeah I figured as much. I'd still like to hear all that directly and how it relates to getting shots in arms a few weeks before most US parents are hoping for a EUA to appear.

My gfs sister is a nurse that works on the Moderna studies. This was how it worked after the initial adult study last year. You would call them up and they would unblind you and if you got the saline they'd schedule an appointment for you to come in and get the real stuff.

drat imagine waking up without your dick and balls

Happened to a guy I know, he started feeling off one night and then collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital, turns out he'd come down with a sudden case of Fournier's gangrene (do NOT do a google image search on that, it's necrosis of the groin/genitals) and he actually died on the operating table several times while the doc was slicing chunks of his dick off like a Christmas ham. He lost a fair percentage of his dick and his entire scrotum but they managed to save his testicles and 'bank' them in his thighs until the plastic surgeons could reconstruct a scrote for him months later. His reconstructed dick was a fair bit shorter than his original dick.

Moral of the story: appreciate your genitals while you can, you never know when they might suddenly try to kill you

$300k in student loan debt is a lot less of a big deal when the average salary for a doctor in the U.S. is 232k to 511k depending on specialty.

You don't have to cry for doctors in the U.S. too much.
