Vor kurzem erschien im NatureMedicine ein Paper, laut dem die Impfungen nur einen kurzfristigen Schutz vor #SARSCoV2 bieten würden. Das gefiel sowohl den Antivaxxern als auch der "Wer Impfungen propagiert, verharmlost #COVID19, denn nur Masken bieten echten Schutz" Gruppe.
@enirenberg widerspricht. Das Studiendesign sei gar nicht in der Lage, die Behauptung zu stützen.
Recent expeditions in Vietnam and China have unveiled two new species of toads with teeth: the Mount Po Ma Lung toothed toad and the Yanyuan toothed toad. These toads, characterized by an unusual row of tiny teeth on the roof of their mouths, belong to the rare Oreolalax genus, known mainly from the two countries. With these discoveries, there are now 21 known toothed toad species.

Many people in jail have the right to vote. So do many felons
People who are in jail and haven't been convicted of a crime — and even many who have been convicted — retain their right to vote. But it's often challenging for them to exercise it.

When upgrading #Mastodon #Docker to version 4.3.0, you may need to run bin/rails db:encryption:init to generate new secrets and assign the environment variables:
ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_DETERMINISTIC_KEY
ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY_DERIVATION_SALT
ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_PRIMARY_KEY
If you're a Docker user, navigate to the Mastodon directory with `cd /app/www`, run `bin/rails db:encryption:init` to generate the required variables, and then add them to your Docker configuration. #update

Tempest in a teapot.
We know that immunity to strains of #SarsCoV2 is NOT lasting.
This is independent from the virus mutating and hybridizing to forms that immunity does NOT protect against.
Both reduce immune protection.
It doesn't matter whether it is vaccine derived immunity, or disease induced immunity.
Both fade quickly, for both active disease and memory of immunity.
This is part of how our immune system works against RNA viruses.

in reply to Edward Nirenberg • • •> Protection from infection and milder disease is relatively short-lived because of the pace of antigenic drift and the kinetics and tropism of viral replication
My takeaway is that for any viral infection that mutates as fast as the 'rona, or the 'flu, the only thing vaccines are good for is pharmaceutical profits. Think how much public money they pocket each year from supplying 'flu and 'rona vaccines that *definitely* work for no more than one winter, and potentially less?!

> these vaccines reduce transmission
So would staying home when you're sick. Paying people to do so would likely cost the public health system less than 'flu/ 'rona vaccines do.
> vulnerable groups the added boost in protection provided each season can literally be the difference between life and death
Eccepting this for the sake of argument, this is a good reason for those people to have the vaccines. Not everyone.

Can you point me to any peer-reviewed evidence that those economic losses are greater than economic losses from paying pharmaceutical companies to produce 'flu/ 'rona vaccines? Again, I think it would be cheaper and kinder to do what Asian countries routinely do, support people to mask up and/or isolate when they have symptoms of respiratory illness.
