  1. I'm sure that you have a lot to contribute to a discussion of drug/vax safety.
  2. that looks fun
  3. From pharma perspective there is just too much upside in that type scenario to pass.
  4. And they would go there again if called up into a warp speed like operation again, I think.
  5. PFE is basically an all in oncology focussed pharma entity now. They are still making substantial investments in the vaccine area though wrt RSV.
  6. Kinda wild watching posters push back on common sense when it comes to public health messaging. Not surprising, but still wild.
  7. Should be easy for them to give five bullet points on what they accomplished last week.
  8. The playbook was not a playbook and anyone that actually had hands on experience with any of these matters knows these things.
  9. One of us has actually worked with both the CDC and FDA and one of us has not.
  10. This is the correct public health messaging. The focus should be on closing the gaps in vaccine coverage among the unvaccinated, and in particular those under the age of 5 (at highest risk of mortality). Mortality and serious bad outcomes rates associated with measles are low in first world countries with functioning medical systems. Telling everyone to go out and get antibody testing or a booster is wrong-headed public health messaging. But public health messaging is not something that we have particularly excelled at recently. See the COVID vaccine strategy and messaging.
  11. Sorry that the alfa bank and pee pee tape thing didn't shake out for you.
  12. AnSweR tHe qUeStIoNs. AnSweR tHe qUeStIoNs. What a fucking clown.
  13. NYT ca 2014. The fighting for Donetsk has taken on a lethal pattern: The regular army bombards separatist positions from afar, followed by chaotic, violent assaults by some of the half-dozen or so paramilitary groups surrounding Donetsk who are willing to plunge into urban combat. Officials in Kiev say the militias and the army coordinate their actions, but the militias, which count about 7,000 fighters, are angry and, at times, uncontrollable. One known as Azov, which took over the village of Marinka, flies a neo-Nazi symbol resembling a Swastika as its flag. In pressing their advance, the fighters took their orders from a local army commander, rather than from Kiev. In the video of the attack, no restraint was evident. Gesturing toward a suspected pro-Russian position, one soldier screamed, “The bastards are right there!” Then he opened fire.
  14. Pretty much aligned to most of the west's take regarding neo nazi nationalism in ukraine ca. 2014.
  15. LOL. Love getting well structured history lectures about dead end hallways from the propaganda artist that dismissed the prescient warnings of George Kennan as the out of date ramblings of an old man. What a fucking world. And the clowns here eat that shit up.
  16. I thought it was entertaining. “Bitch I can still hurl a 70mph fastball” was select.
  17. I think there was a level of seriousness appropriate to the exchange.
  18. OK, grandpa. Time for you to go to bed.
  19. Unfortunately American foreign policy doesn't learn the easy lessons.
  20. It was pretty easy to cut bait on Beard. The Big Picture demanded it.
  21. I'm tuned out on that shit for my own sanity. Time has already told, and will tell again.
  22. Same. I actually appreciate your perspective. That hasn't changed.
  23. Apology accepted.
