An important realization about Twitter is that it’s never going to get “better” again. It’s a toy that was purchased to entertain a rich spoiled brat and he’s going to play with it until it stops working.

#covid19vaccine note: Vaccine effectiveness of 50-60% vs symptomatic disease for the new bivalent vaccine is tremendous. It’s not a base hit, it’s a home run.

Why? The comparison group was already vaccinated x2, x3, x4 and many were previously infected. Thus, this additional protection is amazing because even with all the background immunity, the bivalent cuts your risk in half!
