    Efficacy studies of mRNA COVID vaccines range from about 50% to above 90%. I suppose this has been summarized somewhere. It may also be summarized reductions in disease severity, hospitalizations, and lowered risks of 'long COVID'.

    It is certain that some vaccinated people got COVID anyway. There is no easy way to know if one's disease was less severe. But look, you're not dead and not with long COVID. Might find some happiness in that.

    ==
    Even after 3 Sinovac shots (traditional attenuated virus not mRNA). I know people here who got COVID, even got it twice. But they are not dead not long COVIDed either. I do not know them to regret vaccinations.

    I got 3 Sinovac shots any did not get COVID, So on the other side, but also true that I wore/wear mask in any perceived risky situations. Personal activities and experiences differ.

    The latest executive edict: Trump communications freeze, DEI ban hit FDA, CDC, NIH | STAT

    Dozens of scientists traveled to San Francisco this week for an unremarkable conference with federal research officials. On Wednesday, the day before it was set to begin, they received a surprising message: Due to a temporary ban on official travel for Department of Health and Human Services staff, its government backers would no longer attend in person. The daylong, in-person event would instead take place virtually and last roughly 90 minutes.

    The next day, two minutes after the virtual gathering was scheduled to begin, they received a second email: The conference was canceled. No explanation was given.
    . . .​

    Nothing like censorship and shutting down scientific departments to handle public health threats. Other than the price of eggs, how do we track bird flu now?

    Not only bird flocks being decimated and cattle, it occurs to me, meat processing employees are going to be exposed too Perhaps not so many has the deportations of the workers has started. So what happens when military flights are denied access ... concentration camps followed by the 'final solution?'
