I'm getting questions here and off Twitter.
Yes I was locked out for sharing the advice from the Danish Health Authority, where children can no longer be vaccinated against Covid.
The Danes believe that it was probably a mistake, initially. #1/7

So Twitter in its infinite corporate wisdom locked my account. I won't be engaging here any more. Enjoy the hellsite and see you elsewhere

I left Facebook a few years ago (because of personal info misappropriation, and their deception) and I don't miss it.
Twitter is a fair bit harder. Thanks everyone. DOS #7/7

But Australia & Victoria would not let us make that choice and engage with society. It's two doses for everyone over 12, or gtfo.
I'm a statistician who is used to measuring risk. I know about edge cases, and stratifying population to make sure your advice is tailored. #6/7

@johncarlosbaez @Nereide You were also my favourite physicist to follow on the sci.phys newsgroup 30 years ago!

I'm interested to see how long it takes for Australia to come around to Denmark's position. Imagine forcing 12-17yo children to be double-vaccinated in order to attend a public place, when there was never a net health benefit for them. That was the law up until a few months ago.

🇩🇰 Child vax rec from Denmark:
"Children only very rarely get seriously ill from the omicron variant...from July 1st, it will no longer be possible for children <18 to get their 1st dose & from Sept 1st they will no longer be able to get their 2nd dose"

Practically half the NBA was looking to hire a software developer or a data engineer last year. If there's an open position with an analytics group for any sport, I bet you it's for an engineer.

Be a dev 😈

@m0nty This was also my experience, and asking around it seems common with Omicron. Feeling ok by Day 5 of Covid, 8 days of relative normal health, then *whack* a new set of symptoms for 4 days. Still not sure if relapse or different virus. All good now

@Leo_Puglisi6 @6NewsAU You already convinced Tim to set himself on fire once by *merely quoting his own words*
Please, he's already dead!
