  1. every ky study i've ever done was associated with very high risk of infection
  2. Lulz. If there’s one thing we all remember about the aids epidemic, is that there is no stigmatization of people that had it.
  3. my biggest regret with the SEC move is being associated with these shit for brains.
  4. what's going to happen when the pandemic is over and all these ladies have been chanting "my body, my choice" for a few years when it is applicable to . . . uh . . . some other political topic? my guess is they'll all just say, "no, it's entirely consistent. i was chanting 'my body my choice.' that has nothing to do with whether i get to choose for your body. that is also my choice."
  5. you're right. i should just leave it at this: you can't multiply 1.2% times the number of deaths (even assuming they were all unvaxxed) to see how many would have died, because that isn't what the number represents. the end.
  6. yeah, i saw when you typed that the first time. 1.2% is not some vaccine efficacy rate. do you not understand that? it isn't a "you only had a 1.2% chance of dying if you were vaccinated but you weren't so you died anyway stat" which is something you seem to believe. you can't multiply 1.2% times 600000. it is the ratio of deaths of vaxxed to not. how many people are vaccinated in UK? how many are not? do you not understand how those figures appear in that 1.2% rate? that's why i drew out the extreme example. math lends itself to testing on the extremes because algebra is algebra whether it is the fat of the bell curve or not. what if i told you 56% of covid deaths are men, 44 are women. that's kind of interesting. what if i told you less than 1% of covid deaths are zoroastrians. wow, should we all convert?! wait. no. maybe that number is influenced by something other than Mazdayasna's natural production of antibodies, i'd bet. for whatever reason your built in understanding of population distributions above isn't making its way into your brain about vaccination.
  7. yes no. you're missing the entire calculus of percentage of the population is vaccinated. (by silly example) let's say there were 120 vaccinated people in the whole country. let's say there were 10000 dead. If you told me 1.2% of the dead were vaccinated, i'd say HOLY FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE VACCINE
  8. this is what happens when lawyers try to math
  9. Someone needs to let Lin Wood know that being a lawyer doesn’t allow you to prosecute people for crimes.
  10. because he didn't get the shot?
  11. on both sides
  12. It’s amazing that it has gotten this far. The president has to order us to save ourselves because we are too dumb to do it anyway. Nobody likes to be told what to do, but we have basically devolved as a species that it is now required for basic stuff.
  13. by working to save untold thousands of lives. It's tabloid distraction stuff! Really though, I wish there was some work, somewhere, toward democracy saving stuff like some anti-voter suppression work. That has to be statutory, not one-off Prez orders. That is really the one thing I'm measuring this presidency on, and so far it is a failure. He's the leader of the party right now and has to yell at people in the House and Senate to make it happen.
  14. all of this assumes we pull out of this nosedive. homer/bart meme: he was the low point of our country's existence. he was the low point so far.
  15. That’s some mighty fine reporting there.
  16. Ivermectin has been used on humans for years. Just not for covid. Why would it suddenly cause sterilization?
  17. this administration is exhausting in their nothingness. have merrick garland chase people around one at a time to stop voter suppression? that's the big idea on saving democracy?
  18. Any relation to the Million Dollar Man?
  19. perusing r/HermanCainAwards and started wondering about the scale of kids being orphaned from this, particularly in SEC country. so many seem to be 35 year olds with 2 sub 10 year old kids. are the numbers big enough that it is something to be worried about? are we just assuming the system absorb them as well as any orphan?
  20. i guess i just don't really know what the point of this season is. you had a nice positive thread throughout the first season that worked with the fish out of water thing that created a nice set of challenges for the protagonist to power through using basic decency. the jokes were funny, but the bigger packaging was really the part of the show that made it attractive. this season i can't really sum up. i think that is why i'm not really enjoying this season: i don't know what i'm watching for.
  21. Texted with my internist friend this morning in San Antonio and she says COVID is all she does now.
  22. probably don't want to claim brother because by the time i graduated it had changed into a shite-ton of embarrassing DMB tracks. my college era is a forgettable period in music.
