| Topic | mRNA vaccines are more effective at stopping covid than natural immunity |
| COVxy 02/17/22 10:52:38 AM #21 | MrToothHasYou posted... I mean, they managed to get their hands on 171 samples of pre-Covid blood. Having a larger and broader sample size would have helped illustrate, for example, how the length of time beyond vaccination or infection impacts the presence of the RBD antibody. According to the clinical trial page they reference there were 236 total participants, but for the experiment they only use 28 samples from vaccinated subjects and 41 samples from 33 previously infected subjects. Im curious as to what criteria they used to select these samples. Notably, none of the convalescent samples were from subjects who had experienced Covid symptoms less than 100 days prior to donation, and conversely only 3 of the samples from vaccinated subjects were from patients who had been vaccinated more than 100 days prior to participation. The third cohort of 39 samples didnt come from the same trial and are from patients we dont have any information about at all. There is lots of room for unseen variables because of the sample populations chosen, imo, and having larger and broader sample sizes would provide more useful data than just people vaccinated a median of 35 days ago have significantly more protection against Covid than people who naturally had the virus a median of 201 days ago. So then, it can be effectively summarized that you don't think their sample size is too small for the work they show, just that you think they could do more informative things with a larger sample? The point being, this is not a criticism of the current work, just a wish for future work. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 02/17/22 9:45:08 AM #30 | TheOtherMike posted... There's a middle ground between scrambled eggs that look like egg salad and dry/rubbery eggs. My scrambles always come out fluffy and moist but aren't runny like in this video. People who say this usually make eggs that are only "moist" by virtue of the milk they add into the egg mixture. No go on milk into the egg mixture for me. It just usually leads you to overcook your eggs so you have overcooked but milky eggs. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Remember when you nerds fell for Gordon Ramsay's RUNNY EGGS? lmao |
| COVxy 02/17/22 9:33:24 AM #19 | I think people mistake the beauty of a good soft scramble. Cooking them more than that makes the eggs dry and unappealing, making the scramble mostly enjoyable through the additions rather than the eggs. If you want dry eggs, at least get the texture right by cooking them omelet style. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | I officially identify as an Independent, now. Republicans done lost me. |
| COVxy 02/16/22 7:37:20 PM #197 | So, regarding the whole "not 100% effective thing, I'm just going to repost something I wrote a bit back in a different topic: I think part of the issue is that people have a hard time reasoning about effects that compound (often nonlinearly) across time. However, it's easy reason if the effect is complete. Like obviously a vaccine would work well if it completely prevented infection and transmission. But a case where it's only partially effective? Does that mean that even if everyone were to be vaccinated we would still be in the same situation? Here I've done a bit of a silly simulation where vaccination cuts probability of transmission in half and duration of transmission by 40%, and then looked at what happens in the case of 80% vaccination rate (pretty good, right?) vs. 100%. Pretty marked difference for 80% vs 100% with only a partially effective intervention, no? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/2/0/AAZt-XAAC53o.png Perhaps highlighting the effect here, 82% of the simulations in the 100% vaxx condition dropped to 0 by end of the simulation time, while only 56% of the 80% vaxx condition did. This is just a toy simulation, but really the point is to get the intuition that even with a partially effective vaccine, you get extremely large differences in community spread going to a vaccine mandate, even if voluntary vaccination rates look pretty good. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
