An article I wrote about vaccine safety...

@Ikat0 @SleepyJim0 If they meant "the latest Pfizer mRNA vaccine available at the time of the shot", they should have said this.

greater than IT really is

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

This recent study looked at a possible self-selection bias for who received COVID-19 vaccines. In short, healthier people got the shot, so the vaccine effectiveness appeared greater than is really is.

@SleepyJim0 It is the brand name for the recent formulation. Since the article draws striking conclusions, they should get it right what vaccines they are talking about.

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

But something is wrong with the dataset. The article looked at patients during 2021-2022, using primarily the Comirnaty vaccine, which did not appear until 2023.

@johngramlich Hi John. I am a data engineer interested in helping with data/statistics related to gun violence.

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

@BiobotAnalytics I am available to help with data engineering and analysis, and have worked with your datasets quite a bit. Please reach out if interested.

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

@BiobotAnalytics Wow! Surprised. The vibe I get is that the US (and world) is losing interest in wastewater tracking, instead of learning how valuable it is.

@amylizk After turning off a breaker, I test the wires on the device with a volt meter. Black to white, black to ground, white to ground. If all show zero volts (or close) then you can feel pretty safe. This also verifies that you got the correct breaker.

@dylanbgeorge Sure, I’ll help. See my Twitter feed for proof that I have the right skills.

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Has anyone seen data analysis on this? @NOAANCEI @NOAAResearch

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

I am looking at the question of whether rain predicts rain.

If it is rainy for three days, is it more likely than average to rain the next day? Or less likely? Or no correlation?

How about if it is raining this hour. Does that correlate with the next hour?

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

I could do this data analysis but don’t want to reinvent the wheel

[Chuck Connell @chuck01801]

@NWSGray Is there any data on whether rain predicts rain? So if it has been rainy for three days, is it more likely than average to be rainy today? Or maybe less likely? Or is every day an independent event?

@DrEricDing @amethystarlight @rogla @giroditalia If you can't breathe in a mask, something is wrong with your heart or lungs. Really.
