Betteridge's law of headlines is applicable here. Will be interesting to see what happens in China wrt zero-covid, but he has a number of other takes that to me suggest a heavily distorted view of reality.

For which time period? If you look recently, it's not looking so good for covid-19 vaccines.

Since when is anti-mandatory vaccination anti-vaccine ? Especially since it demonstrably has zero impact on infection or likelihood of communication. Which the data showed as obvious since about July of 2021 from Israel.

The majority of donations are from Canadians.

They also didn’t start treatment until 7 days post symptoms.

Sneering is all they have left. Their credibility is in tatters with all but out of touch pmc types.

Better cross variant effectiveness, longer lived in blood.

T-detect can apparently read your t-cells, so it would be good for a while I would say.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.19.21255739v... <- natural immunity is pretty long-lived https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v... <-- 6x better than fresh vaccine after a year or so, 13x better in a 4-6 month period after

That's a really good question I'd like the answer to. I was reading that natural infection tends to create a stronger response against the nucleocapsid for t-cells.

Is this an either or thing? Will your immune system develop proper full immunity after getting vaccine + delta ?

It is, but honestly I don't think I could comprehend code that was read out to me. It's very much something I do with the visual parts of my brain in terms of following the logic, etc.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, and I don't know what kind of difference something like braille would make. Idk, are there any blind programmers that you know of ? Surely there must be some programmers who have gone blind, I wonder if they just decide to switch careers idk.

Isn't this based on a rather questionable assumption that all excess deaths in this time period were due to undiagnosed COVID ? There's been a large spike in drug overdoses, and some increases in suicides that have been seen. Would it not be reasonable to assume that a number of these deaths were caused by lockdowns, and various other heavy-handed measures authorities used to try to control outcomes ?

neat, any analysis of how often the guardian tells the same lies of omission ?

The criticism would need to be constructive to be useful, or at least specific enough to act on. Also, you can't go embarrassing the parent company, especially one as image-conscious as google.
