I thought about the Bad Bunny halftime show again today and I got emotional and a tear came to my eye. If you don't understand why, then I'm sorry but you probably never will. And that's okay. It's not about you.

Hahahaha. I like that lots of people reading this will have no idea what we're talking about.

A phase 3 randomized safety and immunogenicity trial of mRNA-1010 seasonal influenza vaccine in adults - PubMed These findings support the potential benefit of mRNA-1010 as a seasonal influenza vaccine.

And here's a non-comparator one:

Moderna announces promising efficacy results from mRNA flu vaccine trial The company said an mRNA flu vaccine has the potential to more closely match circulating strains.

Here's another:

Efficacy, Immunogenicity, and Safety of Modified mRNA Influenza Vaccine | NEJM Influenza remains a major health burden despite the use of licensed vaccines. Nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) influenza vaccines have shown promising immunogenicity against influenza and...

Here's one:

Me: *sad that I can't cook like my late mother*
My 5-year-old: "Why can't you?"
Me: "To get good, you have to practice. And I haven't practiced enough making these dishes."
5-yo: "Because you've been too busy taking care of me and the dog."
Me: "Yes"
5-yo: "And doing whatever Mama tells you to do."

mRNA flu vaccines have better immunogenicity and better efficacy than traditional flu jab, and can be developed, manufactured and updated faster.

By denying US market, Prasad has essentially killed any prospect of a realistic mRNA flu vaccine in any market.

This guy and his RFK army are ghouls.

Man, famous doctors are not looking too good these days.

Reminder:

Apart from a handful of weirdos, no one is actually mad about Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show. What you're hearing are paid agitators whose rent depends on their selectively feigning outrage. (And the idiots who parrot them.)

"The American Left has cultural power but wants political power. The American Right has political power but wants cultural power."

More reporting: At the WEF in Davos, Moderna’s CEO said Moderna will "stop investing in late-stage vaccine trials that are a crucial part of the approval process," b/c “You cannot ‍make a return on investment if you don’t have access to the U.S. market."

Tonight my 5-year-old was very concerned about the prospect of going to jail if falsely accused of a crime. So I launched into my fullsome description of the criminal justice system, the nature of circumstantial & probative evidence, parole, and appeals. Judicial corruption did not enter the fray.

Well said

Me: "No more procrastinating! Today I'm going to do all those hard writing tasks I've been putting off!"

Also Me: "But first I need to update all 2000 of my YouTube thumbnails."

Well not anymore. Thanks for nothin'.

Peeps, I recenly recovered a scratchy old VHS recording of my PhD defence from 2001. A quarter century ago, back when I had lots of hair and even more belly. Anyway, I put it on YouTube. Because why not?

Might I add, Ricky Martin looks DAMN GOOD for 54.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.
