Two of the standard bearers unable to differentiate the real threats from the crazy ass conspiracy nonsense chime in within seconds.

It's not my fault that you guys lack the ability to focus on the actual real geopolitical threats posed by Russia versus the conspiracy land fan fiction nonsense that has dominated the last 3+ years of the discourse.

In a debate on incompetence between the second biggest pharma in the world with a $200 billion market cap, and the Trump administration, I'm always going to go latter until proven otherwise. Because my IQ is, perhaps barely, not below 60.
I tend to agree, but PFE specifically chose to go their own route. Seems to be a bit of messaging to turn around and blame the lack of interoperability on the government. This coming from someone inclined to blame the government for every break down.

Their press release...
Or just this...

Just now, BradInATX said:
Their press release reads that they have a bunch of vaccines sitting in a warehouse with no direction from the government, and they've offered more capacity with no response. What am I missing?
They specifically decided to run an alternate distribution logistics system, separate from HHS's programs. They appear to be blaming the disconnect on HHS, which I am inclined to believe. But I think maybe we should consider the fact that PFE choosing to run a totally separate distribution network outside the feds/McKesson instead of integrating into that may also play a significant role.

It's Pfizer's fault that they decided to integrate with the HHS system and said HHS system turns out to be garbage?
That's literally a direct analogue to blaming the beaten wife for not seeing her husband's future potential for wife beating. Fuck's sake, man.
They specifically decided not to integrate with the federal government system.
I was inclined to think that they had made the right decision and that their production and logistics would prove superior.
Doesn't appear to be the case.
What I see is a bunch of deflection at this point because both their supply chain and logistics are not really performing.

PFE fucked up their supply chain and now their logistics breaking down. They chose specifically to dial out of the McKesson system that was tied into HHS/WarpSpeed/Whatever. At one point that appeared to present them an advantage. Maybe not so fast my friends.

90K plus doses and less than 4K pumped in to folks across the state today (was at 680something yesterday).....come the fuck on
Take this out of the hand of bureaucrats and I fucking guarantee you that we would be able to model delivery both more effectively and more equitably.

That's nice, but the built in milk machine tends to be the weak link (reliabilitywise) not tastewise. Side note: One of those little $25 frother kettles does pretty well (or just get one with a wand that you can attache an external autofrother to. If I'm in a hurry or don't care about froth, I just microwave the milk and drop in the coffee.
This looks like the gaggia version of the saeco.

May want just get divorced instead. A friend of mine got the $2,500 version of the jura (Swiss company) and seems really happy with it.
But

My dad has a jura superauto somewhere above that range and it is awesome. I ain't going there though.
Here is an example of what I am looking at as a class:

Ok then, after we get the Pfizer shots and all is well, would we be able to get another brand of vaccine shots that would definitely prevent us (as carriers) from spreading the virus?
It's undetermined whether the PFE or MRNA vaccines also sterilize people. It is likely, in my opinion but not established via the data. I recall seeing something in one of the MRNA tables that suggested things looks good, but cant find the table at the moment.
Long story short. Get the shot, continue common sense measures regarding hand washing and mask wearing. Wait for more data.

Whenever I try to figure out whether the U.S. is doing a good job or bad job on Covid, I think about our comparison to Europe, which has a similar enough culture and environment to be at least a decent proxy (as opposed to authoritarian countries that either lie or can violate citizen's rights with impunity).
With that as criteria, here is how the U.S. is performing vs. larger European countries on cases per million population and deaths per million. Conclusion? We are kind of sucking.
These are the right comparison groups imo, and wrt deaths it looks like we are all running in a pack. There are some ascertainment differences between countries, but I think that these are the right comparison groups, with some additional adjustment required for a variety of risk factors (age structure, obesity, other RF, etc.). People that thrown out South Korea or India or New Zealand are picking entirely very dissimilar comparison groups.

when i put that question to AOC a couple of years ago for home use, he recommended the nuova simonelli oscar ii.
Doesn't appear to be an automatic. I already have an espresso machine and my wife has mounted a mini revolt. She want's to press a button and have stuff come out the other side. Looking at the saeco's but not sure what the landscape really is here with shit ranging from 1k to 15k.

Awesome. EUA should have been issued weeks ago so that we could have let the shit sit in a warehouse.

My four year old has expressed similar sentiments. But he used slightly less colorful language. I laugh, but it breaks my heart that he has to deal with this reality. I also wonder how much he'll remember of it when he is older.
Yeah, we range from probably won't remember most of this shit to will definitely remember all of this shit in our household.

LOL. Some people are brain damaging their kids. There is a bit of a difference between sitting on your patio or front porch and partying in the casinos. Shit, I wonder at times how much I am brain damaging mine with our family protocols. Kinda sad to seem my daughter distanced off from the rest of the soccer team in their tourney championship photo, but also kinda like high five girl.

Posted this on the other thread, but thought that this was a good place as well.
If you are in an early wave of vax administration, consider enrolling in the VSAFE system. It is a smartphone app to track for safety signals and one of the only surveillance tools in place for early wave roll out.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/vsafe.html
V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Through v-safe, you can quickly tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Depending on your answers, someone from CDC may call to check on you and get more information. And v-safe will remind you to get your second COVID-19 vaccine dose if you need one.
Your participation in CDC’s v–safe makes a difference — it helps keep COVID-19 vaccines safe.

Yes you get a card with your vaccination. I don't think it's meant to be any kind of failproof ID or anything, just a record like your normal vaccine record, and to remind you to get your second dose. There is no sophisticated tracking going on, at least not what is publicly available, so if someone wants to pretend they got the vaccine to fool others they will. However, they do record your name, birthday and specific vial of vaccination administered so someone is tracking this info, and it could potentially be put in a searchable database in the future I suppose.
