Isn't the problem that preprints like the above are getting massive public exposure when they, being preprints, are only partially through the scientific review process?

[delphonso]

Yeah. Pre-prints are important and useful, but specifically not at all verified or often even examinable (key data often absent). Decision making, especially on a governmental level, should never be made because of preprints. In this case, it doesn't really effect anything, though.

Thank fuck for data or some governments might still be pursuing herd immunity.

I don't see the /s anywhere. Are they not still doing that where you are?

Well, as an excuse anyway. They seem to be doing it in a way to kill off as many poor and non-white people as possible here.

[feelotraveller]

No it wasn't intended as sarcasm.  But I take your point.

Round here the various medical authorities are very up-front about the most important thing being to get vaccinated.  That said some areas are opening up way too early, byline - 'for the economy'.  And yes it is generally the non-white and poor people who are getting the worst of it.

The vaccine is like Pringles.  Once you clot, you can't stop.

Well, as someone who has actually successfummu managed a case of VITT, I can tell you that ain't true

I don't know what "successfummu" means but I can tell you it sounds uncomfortably close to "snafu".

"Successfully" with a partial keyboard shift, I presumed. (And presumed accidental. On my tablet, I tend to hit the onscreen-backspace instead of the onscreen-L, and due to no haptic feedback telling me I'm wrong I get things like "successy" (<="successfuy"), or have an 'n' or 'b' instead of a between-word space as I strive not to hit an off-keyboard hotspot, and apparrently that's the typical lateral range I strike the spacebar on. Or maybe it's a modern-day "pwned", now 'a real thing'?)

In virus news, Africa has been spared an outbreak of Matt Hancock, the other day. (But at least it wasn't Chris Grayling!)

Let's see how Hollywood is doing-
