Since the Israel data showed the infection rate dropped in all groups that got a 3rd shot, maybe CDC should just lie and say a 3rd shot prevents transmission to sell people on getting the booster Oh wait they already lied and said the 2-dose series prevents transmission That's a shame

It rules.

Salt Fish posted:Nate Silver looked into it and realized that other successful drugs are all made from carbon with a statistical distribution of nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. If only these idiot chemists would learn a little bit of baseball statistics they could have saved time by skipping right to the most likely combinations of atoms instead of brute forcing every combination of rhubidium, praseodymium and aluminum or whatever. i know you're being silly but fwiw: There's lots of data pipelines that use a combination of things to explore possible compounds based on things that we already know do x. they take huge teams years to build and are hilariously brittle because the insane computational chemist who is brilliant enough to actually figure out some of the necessary chemistry hides it multiple layers of perl shellscripts deep

The GOP really do trot out the same loving talking points every time. I bet they’ll also be saying how the people going door to door are actually illegal immigrant MS13 members scoping out your house so they can rob you later. COVID cannot kill these people fast enough.

Make a gui guys, come on. most comp chem stuff is libraries (rdkit, etc.) + a whole lot bespoke stuff. front-end often more expensive than was desired in biochemistry companies, though that's changing dramatically as data pipelines start to rule the early stage drug discovery process.

Gio posted:yeah i dont buy that lol I mean, there's nothing wrong with the data, it just doesn't really lead to any actionable conclusions. The bottom line is that you can still catch it, still transmit it to other people, and still potentially get pretty sick. The data does not in any way suggest that you should go take a dive into a pool full of COVID, which is what pretty much everyone is doing right now. People on Twitter keep posting these takes because their mind is locked into the idea that they're fighting a war against anti-vaxxers when anti-vaxxers would only really be a problem if we actually gave enough of a poo poo about this virus to actually try to stop the spread. We don't, so true herd immunity is a pipe dream anyway.

Like we're so stupid as a society that anti-vax sentiment is only moderately more disconcerting than the behavior of people who are actually vaccinated, and it's way less worrying than our government's complete unwillingness to do anything at all.

Beyond that even if we did get herd immunity that’s in an abstract concept over a geographic distribution the virus gives no shits about. At some point we’re gonna get our assholes turned inside out by a variant delta contagious with an immune escape mechanism from the other 8 billion people on earth.

Was anti-vax a thing before Jenny McCarthy started pushing her bullshit. I think she should be forced to drink the covid can on live tv for her crimes against humanity.

One of the many amusing things about our current situation is our obsession with vaccination numbers while simultaneously withholding effective vaccines from the rest of the world and leaving our borders wide open. A very big brain strategy.

Bone Crimes posted:lol that there are advocates for vaccination for all at gunpoint by the military in the US, and yet that some are justified in having anti-vaxx views. Like what do you think would happen if the Army pulls up to Trump City USA, or even literal Tuskegee and starts to try to vaccinate at gunpoint. Nothing, 95% of those folks are just blowhard cowards used to posturing to get their way
