To any future (human) reader: if you have earnest questions about vaccine efficacy against COVID19 or any other disease, don't hesitate to ask!

That's not what that data says, or what those measures mean.

In particular, and counter to the lies/misdirection employed by the above account, they absolutely do NOT imply that any individual would be worse off for having received a vaccine in the previous season.

It depends on your local syntaxes

So neither sincere or insincere? 🤔

I was pretty sure after the hashtag, figure a couple posts to refute then mute and move on might help a 3rd person later though.

Even beyond your specific lies (all of the above is false), every word you write is a cynical rhetorical choice designed to mislead, substituting "a few weeks" for 6 months, or "can't" for "does more than half the time." Unmistakable hallmarks of insincerity.

Infections do generate immune responses that can prevent future reinfection, although inferior to vaccination & with all the costs & risks of illness. That COVID19 & influenza vaccines "can't prevent infection" as you said, or have "negative efficacy," are malign fabrications.

And wordsalary (a lesser known antonym of renumeration, describing payment in the form of words cut from one's own articles)

All true, but it's important to underline that COVID19 and influenza vaccines certainly can prevent infection entirely, and routinely do so for a large number of recipients.

As Fran was nice enough to highlight this, I thought I'd put up a brief thread. 3 in 10 proteins that our cells make are either embedded in membranes (ion channels, adhesion molecules, etc.) or secreted (insulin, antibodies). They move through the secretory pathway.

Is it ("just") imprecision of language? "Imagine being" and "what it's like"/perspective taking are different things, speaking precisely, no?

That first one was one of the most infuriating things I ever saw on TV (accidentally, at a pub). Each vignette of a supposedly unlikely historical event is just completely ass-backwards in some way. The "300" lost! The Wright bros flight was the product of incremental development!

IMO while it's not too hard to imagine driving a frog body, it's very hard to imagine truncating your mind to fit in a frog brain, and fairly easy again (with study) to do a decent job imagining "what it's like" to be a frog, bat, other person, or yourself in the future or less-than-immediate past

Or maybe it involves a complex, possibly magical, apparatus or coprocessor that would be material if it existed? If the phrasing plays a trick with the dualist intuitions in our culture/language, that could be why the "brain" version feels so different even though it's just a subset of "body"

I thought the idea was there was automatically a new one?

I think the question is a little slippery (hah). Can we imagine switching *brains* with a frog?

They are not materialists

University faculty aside, I think some people do have trouble (or less tolerance) navigating price discrimination, especially between different stores. There are also some regulatory differences state-to-state. Idk anyone who thinks groceries aren't a lot cheaper than restaurant food though

Very true, but folks didn't exactly *need* contemporary automation to forget all that. Aside from the "famous" (old) cases I bet we all know a few more that went unnoticed...

Already infamous for their size and aggression, in early 2010 they suddenly developed a taste for human flesh. Turning to crime, perhaps, when long bets on perishables went sour after the crisis?

For example my friend recognized he was scammed, and even though the resulting money transfer didn't clear for 24 hours, and he contacted them within minutes, both bank and app fraud depts told him he was SoL. The conduct is effectively legal

Tbh I think you implicitly articulated why

Btw for me the ACA actually was transformative: I became eligible for Medicaid in the first year of implementation

Opinion | The Obama Gap (Published 2009)

I'd point to what radicals like, uh, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman were saying back then.

"To close a gap of more than $2 trillion and possibly a lot more, if the budget office projections turn out to be too optimistic, Mr. Obama offers a $775 billion plan. And that’s not enough."

Are there any TNG/DS9/Voy episodes where someone uses another person's codes?
