We have no idea how long the vaccines last because there's not a magical number of antibodies or T-cells that fight off a COVID-19 infection. It's not like you can stick a human on a dyno or in a salt chamber to speed up the corrosion, but morons are using the 6-month confirmation to whine about it or push more anti-vax poo poo.

My paperwork had me fill out that it was good for a year, but it was clearly a check-the-box exercise. We don't even know if you need a double-shot of Moderna/Pfizer in a year/two years/whenever, or if a single dose can function as the booster, or if you can get a completely different vaccine.

Current event: the wreck of the USS Johnston has been rediscovered since first being found in 2019. This time they brought the deep sea submarine Limiting Factor and were able to access the bulk of the wreck that the original ROV couldn't go deep enough to see.

And even further back around late Summer the CDC issued a statement saying that people should expect at least three months of immunity given some basic assumptions from other viruses, which a lot of people took as definitive proof that immunity could only possibly last three months.

US schools really need to have a whole semester on quantitive statements I guess.

I vaguely remember a story about some Canadian burger chain that tried to expand into the US with a promotional third pounder the same price as a McDonalds quarter pounder. And Americans got pissed at the company for ripping them off because three is less than four.

McDonald's actually had "Angus Third Pounders" somewhat recently and they didn't last. Pretty sure it was the price that killed them off and not 'Murkans not bein' so good with the math.

If that quote is right that they got rammed into the barrier by the car, then.... gently caress. I can picture that and isn't good.

The accidental footage I saw made it look like at least one cop and suspect are dead. EMT guys working on the suspect appeared to be going through the motions.

EDIT: "accidental footage" showed way more than what I think the network thought, they quickly pulled that feed with a quickness.

I've been thinking about it recently, and I don't think in this case places pulling money from Georgia will matter. It will certainly work on culture war bullshit that local Republicans use to get elected, but the recent election probably scared the party that they'll lose their rear end on the next go around of state elections, and they'd rather maintain their position no matter what the cost to Georgia is.

I think the only counter to Georgia Republicans basically deciding to gently caress their own state is noise. Making companies do poo poo, continuing to yell about voting restrictions, and constantly publishing interviews and stories about the bullshit that local Republicans are pulling. At this point, it's all about the 2022 midterms when a rapidly-growing Atlanta can basically drown out the rest of the state in the statewide elections. With Democrats likely to in-person campaign this time, and in-person helping voters with absentee requests around the new bullshit rules, it's a matter of making sure the Democrats turn out again.

After all, not much pisses off voters than a party deliberately trying to make them not vote. Hell, Pennsylvania Democrats managed to avert 100K absentees getting tossed (the dumb inner-envelope signature thing) with a shitload of ads and education, just do the same in Georgia plus remind voters who made the new dumb, bullshit rules.
