Unfortunately, their vaccination rates are poo poo, with poo poo-tier vaccines. Whole lotta people are gonna die, but probably less than a Delta wave.

Inactivated vaccines are far weaker at preventing infection, especially against pre‐Omicron strains, but efficacy against hospitalization and death are within the error margin of the mRNA shots.



From Hong Kong’s winter wave of BA.2

BNT162b2 is Pfizer’s product, if that wasn’t clear.

Getting shots into arms* remains a problem.

*Or lungs; they’ve approved an inhalable vaccine and expect to have a couple hundred million doses of it next year.

Estimates I’ve seen published for death toll are a million and a half to a little over two million in the first year.

1. Don't run anyone and back Sinema so at least a Republican isn't in office. No guarantee she wins, but it's her best shot at staying in office.

It may be her best shot to keep the seat, but I don’t even know that it’s the Democrats’ best shot to keep a Republican out.

She’s a bad candidate and may well have lost in 2024 in Arizona even if she had a (D) by her name and the full backing of the Democrats.

Now she will for sure not have their full backing, and that’s true even if no candidate carries a (D) on the ballot.

So why try to make Sinema work? Cut your losses and run a real candidate.

It’s not like it’s some huge unknown if Osama bin Laden was alive long after the Abbottabad raid.

If he were not dead, he would have released some proof of life, like a video mentioning current events.

To make a conspiracy out of it, people have to suppose that he was already dead and that the U.S. government confirmed this and decided to take falsely claim credit.

That’s just not a very exciting conspiracy theory, and it’s not like people wouldn’t have come up with other silly theories if the body had been recognizable and not unceremoniously dumped at sea.

New batch of COVID rapid antigen tests is available via USPS now.

Beware that these tests are less reliable post‐Omicron than they once were. A positive test is highly suggestive of infection, but a negative test, especially in the absence of symptoms, doesn’t say much.

There’s no mechanism to stop an ineligible person from appearing on ballots and ascending to the office.

The only court in which it can be fought is the court of public opinion.

States could make laws about this, and some were proposed circa 2011 on account of the Notorious Barack Hussein Obama, but AFAICT none took effect.

Like we’ve been talking about the shakiness of the website itself, but we’ve also got:

  • Musk’s business partners of unknown disposition
  • Depressed advertizer spending
  • Not paying suppliers
  • Budget deficit in the billions per year
  • Pissing off celebrities
  • Pissing off journalists
  • Pissing off Washington
  • Pissing off Brussels
  • Pissing off the Chapelle‐watching public
  • All of the above in a feedback loop with Tesla stock price, which Musk must sell to keep Twitter solvent

Some of these are more serious than others and some of them could be weathered, sure, but the prognosis gets bad when you’re fighting technical and legal battles with a skeleton crew who may not have been paid, in buildings that you may be evicted from tomorrow.
