I am not moving any goalposts. I am just telling you what was used for the current FDA approval. You can argue of course that tests on previous variants of the Pfizer vaccine made specific clinical trials for this variant unnecessary.

If Pfizer had tests from human trials why would they be mentioning the mice test?

There are two separate vaccines, one from Pfizer and one from Moderna. You are right that Moderna did a small clinical trial to measure antibody response for the updated vaccine. However Pfizer only did a trial in mice to measure the antibody response...

Most people will get it paid for by insurance. It should be classed as preventative care so it should be free.

Misinformation does not mean "disagree with you".

Given all the "ad hominem" attacks I didn't think that anyone was actually interested because they had already chosen their tribal foxholes. But since you asked. He starts with the following: (1) They are using an EUA to approve the fall booster. This is wrong as their is no emergency (2) The...

Wildly overreacting to a minimal risk is an anti-science position.

The vaccines at the start may have substantially reduced the spread but there is little evidence of that now. Seriously - you want to ban someone for disagreeing with you (he is right of course)? Wow.

So all you really have is some vague ad hominem attack on him? Is that it?

No, because you are a hyper-partisan. It isn't because you are actually interested in the science or any of the debate around it.

This is an incredibly dumb article - it tries to make an equivalence between COVID-19 and measles. For measles we have a vaccine which can get us to herd immunity. For COVID-19 we do not. At best we can only delay COVID-19. We can't avoid it. We will likely get it many times during our lifetime...

He goes into A LOT of his details in his videos, articles and papers. Have you actually watched or read any of them? That you dismiss all his work based on a comparison he may have made once says a lot about you. Did you even bother to look at the video I linked here?

He understands evidence based medicine far better than most so yes I do. He is the one "following the science" here. He is right that it is completely nuts to be considering masking kids again. They are the lowest risk group, almost all kids have already had it, kids won't mask well anyway and...

Vinay Prasad has written lots of good papers and videos on this. It is pretty amazing how thin the evidence has been for taking additional doses. For example: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmZzZIcqIrI

If mastodon survives, I suspect it will go the Linux model. While Linux is open source, the people that really work on it/maintain instances will mainly be sponsored by for profit companies (e.g. like the Washington Post here) or non-profit foundations.

While it is important to point out the extreme temperatures here it is a bit deceptive to call it "Spring". In much of Asia (including parts of India and Pakistan), March to May is the "hot season". This is why countries like Thailand and Burma have water festival in April as it usually is the...

Better hack - set yourself up with an account with privacy.com which can generate you real credit card numbers and where you can set monthly payment limits. When you sign up for a service, explicitly set the max amount for the virtual credit card to whatever you have to pay initially + $2 and...

Didn't you get the title wrong? Shouldn't it be: "Chromebooks save battery like the Pixel with this one weird trick" :P

Thank goodness it was "Real" Alkalized Water! Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was fake!!!
