@DerekPederson3 Ok but missing the denominator in the likelihood ratio. CGGCGG codes <1/10,000 RRs in Asian betacoronaviruses. Would be more in recent 12nt inserts, but that in itself tends to favor LL.
@RWPUSA@alfranken@SenGillibrand@SenSusanCollins Eight women accused Al Franken of unwanted kissing and touching. He had a habit of grabbing random women's asses. Franken's perversion was driven by power, entitlement, and poor impulse control.
@RadioFreeTom@3YearLetterman Vodka martini: for those who find gin is too much but are fine with a fortified, aromatized wine infused with roots, barks, herbs, and spices.
@AuthorMJClifton@cooltxchick Henrietta Lacks received free cancer treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Because she was treated for free, doctors at the time believed it was fair to use her cell tissue for medical research without her knowledge or consent. There was no cost to Lacks, like loss of privacy.
@mitchellvii Howard clearly stated on the Senate floor that the clause would apply much more broadly than just to the children of former slaves. He intended it to include all classes of persons, except those from diplomatic families, such as ambassadors or foreign ministers.
@brownstoneinst Walensky likely understood that the immunity provided by the vaccine diminishes quickly compared to many others. Therefore, it isn't that the vaccine didn't work; rather, long-lasting immunity was simply difficult to achieve.
@VetDad25@AdamKinzinger When Hegseth first announced the repeal of the flu vaccine mandate in April, citing “medical autonomy” and religious freedom, he allowed the services to ask for exceptions – or permission to keep the vaccine mandatory – within 15 days of the rollout.
@angie_rasmussen The risk of transmission was real and significant. This viral strain has a long incubation period before detection. Allowing individuals who have been exposed to the virus to remain unquarantined until symptoms develop or a positive test result emerges posed an unacceptable risk.
@club_gut@elonmusk@OneHealthUCD The idea of vaccinating bats to protect soldiers during spelunking in rural Southern China is highly questionable. It seems more likely that the soldier aspect was introduced to attract the Department of Defense's interest. This notion lacks logical coherence.
@DrJMarine The term "safe" means it passed its phase 1 safety trial. The term "effective" means it passed its phase 3 efficacy trial. Aside from that, these terms lack clinical significance, 💩for🧠.
@atrupar If the people who make vaccines knew from the beginning that sars2 was created in the lab, assuming it was, it would not have changed how the vaccine was made. The mRNA platform can produce vaccines faster than other options. Viral-vector and protein vaccines were also produced.
