What’s next for our foundation? I’m particularly excited about what the next year could mean for one of the best buys in global health: vaccines. b-gat.es/2r89yAC

In @nytopinion "One does not have to be a criminologist to predict that people who commit a violent act and are absolved of any punishment might become repeat offenders," the editorial board writes. nyti.ms/41FbZIs

@Mattcoleman1300 @LPeppone @Jikkyleaks @RollingStone With Covid, Cornell University had "effective" vaccine mandates. Over 96% of the population was vaccinated. Of course, infection breakouts in these fully vaccinated populations were over 1000, while pre-vax breakouts were just north of 100. x.com/AtConsent/stat…


You are comparing apples and oranges here, by mentioning lower risk post-Omicron but comparing to post-vaccine risks of the initial doses given pre-Omicron and mentioning mandates that were not really in effect post-Omicron at all. Any fair and careful benefit/risk must split into 2021 during initial rollout, and 2022+ post-Omicron when we are talking primarily about boosters. Children were given their 1st two doses of mRNA or the doses of viral vectors in 2021 pre-Omicron -- which is both when the risks of COVID-19 were higher and when the myocarditis and VITT were mostly observed. So you'd have to acknowledge the risk of COVID-19 in 2021 to fairly evaluate the vaccine rollouts in 2021, right? And post-Omicron, doses of vaccines would mostly be boosters (and typically given mostly to higher risk kids, and I don't think these were mandated ANYWHERE). And note that the viral vectors were generally not given anymore, so the VITT is not relevant to that time period, and the risk of myocarditis much lower after mRNA boosters than primary doses, especially after the effective dose was reduced for teens. Surely, you account for all of this when comparing to the COVID-19 risks in this age group during Omicron. And do you really stand by your comments that the risks of mRNA vaccine boosters (for those who voluntarily received them, since they really were not mandated after Omicron) outweigh the risks of Omicron infections for this group?


I sat next to a vaccinated person on a couch for two hours yesterday and am still unwell 24 hours later.











🚨#BREAKING: The ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 has just dropped out of the race... ...AFTER NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
