*puts on hard hat, respirator, asbestos gloves* (hey i haven't used these in awhile!)

okay. i'm seeing the same claims on my TL over & over that quite frankly, make no sense. & now they're starting to broken-telephone into each other so:

my thoughts on vaccine schedule.

 first off, let me get one thing across to start: this is not 2 doses v. 1 dose, it's 2 spaced 3-4 weeks apart vs. 2 spaced several months apart.
anyway, to begin: if you are reluctant to modify vaccine dosing schedule from the 3-weeks-apart one that we had in the Pfizer/BioNTech PhaseIII, *that's fine*. that's a legitimate reason.

but say just that. we know this works, we don't know about other regimes.
but for the love of all that is holy, please do not try to imply that this is a hard requirement, or optimal (imho, it likely isn't), or even *chosen for any reason other than being the shortest interval we could use to complete the PhIII ASAP*. that's it.
i'll be honest, i'm amazed 3 weeks *works*. it's shorter than *the shortest MINIMUM interval* for any other vaccine as scheduled according to, say, the CDC: https://t.co/rdb6TIHWPl
like, the whole point of a boost dose in a prime-boost vaccine schedule is to generate a *secondary* immune response.

primary seroconversion takes about 2 weeks (that's why the attack rate in the trials was still high then, then fell off a cliff).
three weeks in you've barely formed proper germinal centers, you quite likely will still hit the primary response quite often then.

as an aside, a few things that i keep hearing that further make no sense:
the "95% efficacy" or "70% efficacy" figure is a *population* efficacy figure.

it means that if 100 of you sign up for Tai-Tai's Cluster Dancing Lessons (so fresh you're guaranteed to go viral!), only 5 (or 30) of you will contract #COVIDー19 after attending.
it does *not* mean that *you yourself* have a 5% of contracting it, be it per exposure, or overall, or whatnot. there is no "partial immunity". you either seroconvert or you don't.

none of this is new, we've studied this extensively for MMR: https://t.co/zRf61T1qcO
we give a booster there (after *five years* typically!) not b/c one dose is "85% effective" for someone, it's b/c only about 85% of people seroconvert after one dose, & 97%+ after two.
fortunately we can easily check this for #COVIDー19 w/a Spike ELISA after 3 weeks. negative? boost then. otherwise...

i stand by this claim, even more strongly than before: https://t.co/5YlJNPGmLO
while i wasn't expecting this to happen this early or this catastrophically, *IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN*.

we can yell at each other over what is optimal until we are blue in the face & we all hate each other for no reason, or...
...we can accept that we are in an out-of-control pandemic where there is, on average right now one person dying of #COVIDー19 somewhere in this world every *seven seconds*, realize that delaying doses is fundamentally not immunologically unsound, and therefore...
look, i get that clinical trials are hard. i really do. trust me on this. & i get that it's important to prioritize ones that are likely to produce results that are vitally important right now.
but i'd say when random world gov'ts are trying this sort of stuff w/o a trial, b/c the situation is so dire *the entire medical system is about to collapse in London right now*, your hand is a bit forced.

to say nothing of countries that can only afford 1 dose/person this year.
because guess what? immunologically it makes sense that it would work. in fact, it stands to reason (& it's interesting comparing the immunologists/vaccinologists on my TL to the virologists) that it will work *better*.
and if everyone's fears are realized & it doesn't? well here's some nice hard data to stop anyone else from trying this, from very early on in the world vaccination schedule, that's a heck of a lot more convincing if you need to stop someone like BoJo.
a few final asides: if you seroconvert & class-switch to IgG that means you've had a T_{FH}/B-cell germinal center response, which means that yes, you have developed memory B cells to that antigen. which survive decades.
i don't understand why i still keep hearing the whole "immunity fading" argument (and after TWELVE WEEKS?!? please show me an example of that in the literature, i tried really hard to find that the past two days w/no success).
i thought after @jbloom_lab demonstrated that reinfection to HCoVs was due to *antigenic drift* & not like when CoV-specific memory B cells inexplicably decide to take a vacation that year, i'd stop hearing that repeated so often...
...particularly when it does not work this way for any other of our vaccines that are currently on the market.

Maybe now we can assume that November 3 message meant "FUD" nor "FUN". Putting the word in capital letters seems to indicate the aspect the word fud has in our space, FUD. 2/*

The public supports less policing and prisons but Harper invested in social discord.

Policing, Prison and construction were linked under the Harper Government.

Richard Bird was VP of Enbridge and he also served as a member of the Canada's Federal Minister of Finance's Advisory Committee on Financing and currently serves as chairman of the board of directors of the Alberta Investment Management

Richard Bird, a former VP of Enbridge is linked to Ecopatrol, missing money and a massive sex scandal in Colombia and Prison Schemes with bid rigging, corruption and collusion.

There was bid rigging corruption and collusion during Prime Minister Harper's term as they invested in private prisons across Canada. Read here. This mentions Bird Construction Inc. Richard Bird was VP of Enbridge Pipeline Inc.

Why does Your Manager’s Manager (YMM) request a deck/doc during a meeting, says it’s urgent, and then doesn’t respond for days after you create & send it?

Or, why does YMM often respond with trivial feedback (e.g. formatting) & not substantive feedback?

Answers in this thread👇🏾

Have you set an entirely new password on a site & said to yourself: “surely, I’ll remember it becos this site is so important for me”. Have you then gone on to forget that password the very next week?

Me too.

The reason for YMM’s odd behavior & my password optimism is the same.

That reason is the Focusing Illusion, first described by Daniel Kahneman.

The Focusing Illusion:
Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.

When YMM asked you to create that doc as one of the follow up actions during the Product Review, YMM fell prey to the Focusing Illusion.

Trust me, YMM had no intention of making you do busywork.

YMM truly believed that it was very impt & urgent to create that doc & review it.

This was YMM’s conception of how much of their future time was appropriate to spend on the item for which they requested that doc (Item A):

1)King Porus was a famous Indian king, his real name was #Purushotama. He belonged to PURU tribe mentioned in #RIG_VEDA, the Ancient books of India.


2) Porus ruled the Punjab region and expanded his kingdom between the Jhelum River and Chenab River in the Indian Subcontinent. He was a legendary warrior and more war skills. He made the army most powerful with war skills. Even Alexander had also made difficulty to defeat Porus.

3)Word of Mouth Oral tradition in #Mohyal_Brahmin families since ancient times has kept the Great Saga of their Great Elder known to them as Maharaja “ #Puru” alive.

4) When #Alexander the Great invaded India in 326 BC he was challenged near Taxila by a mere chieftain of the Area. He was King #Porus, a #Vaid_Mohyal. After his encounter with Porus, Alexander met with more resistance near Multan where the forces were predominantly #Mohyal.

5)The Bali rulers of Multan fiercely engaged with Alexander's army in skirmishes in which many senior Generals died. Later during the long and bitter fighting in #Multan, Alexander got hurt by an arrow which pierced his chest ,

I am reading through reams of late-1920s communist poetry and easily my favourite title so far is: "To a Lady who Rejected a Poem about Spring as a Petit-Bourgeois Deviation"

The last lines:
"So here's my hat into the air,
Three cheers for your amazing hair,
For coal mines, and for turbines, too,
For steel, the Comintern and you!"

A not exactly graceful (though possibly satirical) title: "Lines Disassociating Myself from Yessenin and Supporting the Otherwise Unfounded Legend that I am a Foremost Proletarian Writer"

An excerpt:
"Goodbye verses of Yessenin
Goodbye literary slop-
You are not the line of Lenin
You are not the line of WAPP

Never shall I moan a
simple lyric from the heart
I'll devote my new corona
to the proletarian art"

The poet was Joseph Freeman, who published much of his revolutionary verse in the New Masses, a stylish journal of the interwar American literary Left.

1/x Fort Detrick History
Mr. Patrick, one of the chief scientists at the Army Biological Warfare Laboratories at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., held five classified US patents for the process of weaponizing anthrax.

2/x
Under Mr. Patrick’s direction, scientists at Fort Detrick developed a tularemia agent that, if disseminated by airplane, could cause casualties & sickness over 1000s mi². In a 10,000 mi² range, it had 90% casualty rate & 50% fatality rate


3/x His team explored Q fever, plague, & Venezuelan equine encephalitis, testing more than 20 anthrax strains to discern most lethal variety. Fort Detrick scientists used aerosol spray systems inside fountain pens, walking sticks, light bulbs, & even in 1953 Mercury exhaust pipes


4/x After retiring in 1986, Mr. Patrick remained one of the world’s foremost specialists on biological warfare & was a consultant to the CIA, FBI, & US military. He debriefed Soviet defector Ken Alibek, the deputy chief of the Soviet biowarfare program
https://t.co/sHqSaTSqtB


5/x Back in Time
In 1949 the Army created a small team of chemists at "Camp Detrick" called Special Operations Division. Its assignment was to find military uses for toxic bacteria. The coercive use of toxins was a new field, which fascinated Allen Dulles, later head of the CIA

Mr. Vijay Kedia built a net worth of over Rs. 800 crores.

But you probably never read past that headline.

So I binged hours of interviews to learn his investing principles and strategies.

Here are 20 lessons on investing from @VijayKedia1 Sir:

Collaborated with @AdityaTodmal


Before I start, a quick disclaimer, please don't ape his portfolio.

As the entry price, horizon and risk appetite would be far different than yours.

Rather lets draw inspiration and try to learn his stock picking skills.

Now let's DIVE IN👇

1/ Started off as a trader:

- Soon, beginner’s luck started to fade out and loses started to mount, to an extent where his mother was about to sell her ornaments.

- Although he was able to dodge the situation.

- This incident taught him the biggest lesson to have a stop-loss.

2/ Punjab Tractors:

- In 1990, he made his first investment by putting in his 10-years savings of Rs 35,000 in this stock, based on a news trigger that tractor industry will witness a turnaround.

- It worked and fetched him 4-5 times which he calls it as a fluke.


3/ He believes that an investor must possess three qualities:

i. Knowledge,
ii. Courage, and
iii. Patience.
