@scriber09 @AstroKatie What those studies found is that’s generally not the underlying concern. It’s a point of control over a situation where no control can realistically exist.

@Keith_Not_Kevin @AstroKatie @AbstraitWolf I’m happy to chalk that up to sabre rattling and say it didn’t change anything. If nothing else, Dr Fauci said he’ll be taking it.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@caspercdn @AstroKatie Yeah... I was leaving out the fact the number of people that’d currently refuse the vaccine may prevent herd immunity.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@caspercdn @AstroKatie All of that being a very long winded way to say something like 6 months to a year.

@caspercdn @AstroKatie I expect that’s to support mask wearing by the susceptible population while the vaccine is distributed and because you have a 5% chance of still being susceptible yourself.

@LuvSquishy @HKok74 @AstroKatie I’m a bit of a geek there. The Pfizer vaccine is stored at -70C. Way cooler than the Moderna vaccine. (Pun intended)

[tduehr @tduehr]

@Keith_Not_Kevin @AstroKatie @AbstraitWolf The Pfizer vaccine is not from operation warp speed; it did (like most of the sars-cov-2) have a purchase agreement in place with gov’ts before beginning. Moderna’s vaccine is supported by $1bn from op warp speed. I’m pretty sure that’s where the administration’s hand in it ends.

@AstroKatie @kyleigh_wylie No, there’s solid evidence the vaccines prevent infection. https://t.co/bbWiOgadmq The reason a flu vaccine doesn’t prevent infection is it provides immunity to only certain strains of influenza based on an educated guess on which will be most prevalent the next year.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@AstroKatie @scriber09 There have been a few studies on this topic in the last decade or so. To get through it you have to find out what they are actually worried about, address it compassionately, and at no time directly confront or judge them on their vaccine views.

The GOP will lose the Presidency, and may lose the U.S. Senate, but if Americans commonly start using the term “legal vote,” as if there’s a horde of “illegal votes,” then the GOP would have won the narrative war to defend the voter suppression that allows them to retake power.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@IanMCohen @FelinaBlanc @JakeSherman That would imply a conscience.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@OrinKerr @Popehat And yet, it’d be a terrible idea for him to do so. He’d have to admit his crimes for that which would open him up to problems in NY.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@gayleforman @mattyglesias That really depends on your knitting style.

@ChrisPoDog @SethAbramson Besides, the 25th route would also require the cooperation of his staff.

[tduehr @tduehr]

@ChrisPoDog @SethAbramson There’s much to be done for Biden. Removing trump from office at this point, without a smoking gun, would create more problems than it would solve.

Patience and compassion is the way forward now.

@hotpinknachos @WaveAesthetic_ @SamSanderson123 @SethAbramson There will always be a period between when it’s clear who’s won and the transition of power. We need to have a functional Congress to mitigate any potential damages.
