Again, that’s a tiny amount and absolutely nothing for anyone to be concerned about.

It appears that the competent Can Do? virologists have learned nothing, or have learned all they needed; veterinarian in CCP lab dies from monkeypox.

See ace.mu.nu

You see, the CCP is good for you, trains running on time and all that. Can Do!

The way a vaccine works is to prepare your immune system to respond to an infectious challenge. When the virus finds a vaccinated person, the virus does its thing and starts to reproduce, but because the vaccine has already primed the immune system, the immune system brings its full response immediately and fights off the infection. Often the response is so quick and complete that the person never knew they were infected (aches, fever, etc. are signs of the immune response, which is why they are common side effects of the vaccine). We (I have a PhD in a biomedical science) call it a subclinical infection. What matters in vaccine effectiveness isn’t the number of positive tests, it’s the number of people who miss work, have to be hospitalized, or die because of the virus, and in this respect, the vaccines are spectacularly effective.

Almost all Christians; it’s that alpha and omega reference.

Next up: epsilon. So E, no big deal. That’s about September

Then in November or thereabouts: zeta. How many people knew Z was not going to be towards the end?

I’ve come to the conclusion that most people have a binary view of risk. Things are either “safe” or “unsafe” with nothing in between. They are completely unable to comprehend a vaccine effectiveness of 64% or a mask effectiveness of 30% or 60%.

That’s a link to a recent article, in “New Statesman,” entitled “How the UK’s Covid-19 vaccine rollout has dramatically reduced deaths.”

The article isn’t too bad, but it includes a terrific graph that takes about two seconds to read. That’s the highlight. Highly recommended.

Common flu CFR=.1%. (R0=reproduction/infectivity rate, CFR=Case Fatality Rate).

This means that Delta is over twice as contagious, while being 1/8 to 1/10 as deadly.
