Kind of ironic reading this and then finding https://github.com/customer-stories/nytimes, huh?

Wonder how GitHub wasn't able to detect a single token downloading the entire organization's worth of repositories, especially if it's over 6 thousand of them. Surely that's not something that's done regularly? Seems like a pretty massive oversight if anyone can just grab a token and get themselves a full copy of the organization.

I heard the bivalent vaccines were kind of duds

I do want Covid 2022 vaccines, and seasonal refreshers (not necessarily for myself, just an option over covid 2019 vaccines), but I heard these weren't good enough over the covid 2019 vaccines

Any updated maybe peer reviewed comprehensive studies?

I honestly stopped following. I know the internet has an overrepresentation of people still in their prepper bunkers, but outside is basically the opposite for along time now and more closely matches my view of not needing to have strong opinions about any outcome at all.

"Persons who received the BA.5-containing bivalent booster had better neutralizing activity against all Omicron subvariants (especially against BA.2.75.2, BQ.1.1 and XBB) than those who received 1 or 2 monovalent [original] boosters" https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2214293

Neither is Sinovac or Sputnik, and Astra is no longer recommended. Corrupt executive branch, no free press, and then they wonder why the best have fled the land Down Under (including myself). It’s beyond belief how the once lucky country can fall so much in one decade.

I'm not sure I understand you.. Do you deplore that Sinovac and Sputnik aren't available in Australia? Really?

What if pulling the lever has a 50 percent chance of reducing deaths, but always eliminates societal cohesion and trust?

lucd · 4 years ago

What eliminates social cohesion and trust is * the disease itself * the people instrumentalizing the disease and/or the sanitary measures to partisan ends..

If there was such obvious nefarious and severe effects, pharmacovigilance would have seen it. Malone is one of the worst disinformer https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/08/robert-m...

Do you know if the immune response from the vaccine also causes that damage or not?

lucd · 4 years ago

The vaccine antigen is only a small part of the virus. Furthermore is was modified and is inert. https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/vaccines/tiny-tweak-behi... Because of international pharmacovigilance we know that ARNm vaccine induce some myocarditis and pericarditis, at a much lower rate than the virus and less severe.

Ivermectin is incredibly effective. It's just not profitable.

Here is a meta analysis of 63 (so far) randomized double blind trials: https://ivmmeta.com/

lucd · 5 years ago

Not peer reviewed, not published, anonymous authors.

This is a fake meta-analysis.

The most important study that weighted in IVM favor was bogus and was retracted some days ago.

Nowhere in the paper I read that ADE was detected in the vaccined. Vaccine-induced ADE is only evocated as a possibility.

That's a letter to the editor.. That's an expert opinion and sits at the bottom of the hierachy of scientific evidence.

Furthermore authors seem to be connected to Raoult..

> One of the virtues of meta-analysis is that it allows conclusions to be adjusted with changing evidence. One Randomized Controlled Trial included in the BIRD Group's meta-analysis of Ivermectin has been challenged in The Guardian. It is unclear if the study in question is fatally flawed. In this clip, Tess Lawrie shows us what happens to the meta-analysis when the suspect study is eliminated. Answer: the estimate of the medication's effectiveness change somewhat (prevention of death drop's from 62% to 49%. Prophylactic effectiveness goes up slightly from 86% to 87%. Confidence intervals become somewhat wider). The conclusion of the analysis remains the same: Ivermectin reduces deaths substantially and is a very effective preventive measure against the contraction of COVID-19.

Tess Lawrie is an MD and PHD, external analyst for the World Health Organization, and an expert in analysis of medical evidence.

Tess Lawrie co-wrote a meta-analysis that was crowd-funded, on the premises that ivermectin is working against covid.. That doesn't bode well for its neutrality, does it ?
