RIP Sammy on June first. Or did you miss that?

I would have added 7 points to my forcast if I had realized the CDC would go crazy with its emergency use authorization to children.

My actual goalpost is 57% with that factored in.

Member Mon May 24 08:55:07
Why 7%?

I went with what I thought was a conservative number, taking into account slowdowns and fuck ups.

Jergul, I have no idea what % of the pop. is 12-17 years old or under 18 etc.

I was just curious why you chose that amount, like was there a specific reason or just guesstimating a bit more.

"Sammy

1) that you didnt forsee pfizer age limit going down from 16 to 12 isnt our problem

2) the us is reaching 50% well before your prediction even without that

You don't get to complain about moving goalposts when the cdc moves them.

The US is reaching 50% well after your prediction. Made at a later date based on more available information.

Jergul as usual is being highly selective in his outrage. We'd arguably be closer to 50% if Biden hadn't tanked public confidence in the vaccine by pulling J&J over a handful of cases, but you won't see him complaining of "moving the goalposts" over that.

Mature minors CAN consent, its a well established doctrine in American law. Non-mature minors can't consent, which is why they need a parent or guardian to approve the use of the vaccine.

To be honest, it seems strange to me that something that is so vile people want us to keep kids out of school for a year and have them locked down, but dont give them a vaccinne that so far seems safe and is probably going to do less damage than indefinite lockdowns.

Makes sense. The last time we had a pandemic this severe, the FDA didn't even exist yet.

This entire pandemic is unprecedented for the modern FDA era. No reason for the solution to not be unprecedented as well.

The CDC's website also now includes a counter for number of jurisdictions where at least 70% of adults have gotten at least one shot (13). Imo that's a weird statistic to highlight since urban areas make up only a small percentage of total jurisdictions. I think they're setting themselves up to underwhelm there.

I get their AC sucks, but they had so much free money in thenlast year or so, I chose to pay $400 for an industrial AC. They bought lottery tickets, not my fault. I still have $2k in uncashed stimulous checks.Which yeah, I have to vadh them soon.

Drunks are annoying. I had him off booze years ago. Admittedly he was snorting meth, but his house was clean and he was doing stuff.

Jesus christ... not only are you fucked, once word of this gets out your shitty vax will be contributing to antivax feelings that will kill millions.

No, seb. You dont get that kind of explosive growth without some vaccine breakthrough.

Remember in september when obvious explosive growth was occurring leading to your second wave? We all saw it except you denied it and said eveything was fine? Guess what... your current growth is steeper than that was. Something like 70% of your nation should have some immunity now. Either the indian variant is 4x as virulent or its breaking through your vax more than it should be.

Sam:

"No, seb. You dont get that kind of explosive growth without some vaccine breakthrough."

The evidence says otherwise. There is a 12 week wait period between first dose and second dose.

56-59 year olds were called for first dose on w/c 8 march. Which means they only started getting their second doses from 31st May. Note those with vulnerabilities etc. will have received doses earlier.

This link shows modelled 1st and 2nd dose proportion of each age group.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19roundup/2020-03-26

Now, we know that even 1 dose gives strong protection against serious symptoms, and the evidence shows that. Almost none of the patients in hospital have two doses. So this strategy has still been very effective at preventing deaths and reducing severity.

This is the latest breakdown of positive tests by age.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19/latestinsights#age

As you can see, the vast majority of people testing positive for Covid-19 - the ones driving the new case numbers, are under 50.

All the evidence shows that the vaccines are working very effectively at protecting people form the virus - but the full course is needed.

In some respect then, this is a vindication for the sequencing rules: we have maximised coverage of protection.
