    OT: Flu Vaccine

    It's a pre-print study meaning it hasn't gone through peer review. That said, assuming peer review doesn't uncover any methodological flaws, the study appears to suggest that for the particular population under study, the 2024 flu vaccine didn't appear to impact the incidence of flu occurrence...

    OT: Measles info.

    Uh, no. Just because a podcast or internet meme says so, does not make it reality.

    OT: Measles info.

    Just FYI, your M.D. from Facebook Medical University doesn't count. Can't wait to see you point to peer reviewed studies that say that. I expect to be waiting a very, very, very long time.

    Interesting. Let's keep our eyes on the prize here. As it stands: 1. You posed a tweet from a software engineer. The software engineer had posted an image and claimed it showed the vaccine was ineffective. 2. I commented that it was strange for a software engineer - who hasn't demonstrated...

    So now your point is that credentials don't matter? That's why the software engineer is qualified to post an image with words he probably doesn't understand and declare that it proves a vaccine doesn't work? Credentials and expertise seem to matter in other areas of life. Do you give a...

    The software engineer is commenting on an image that came from . . . well, somewhere from the fever swamps of the internet, it appears. In any event, I don't think the software engineer understands what the text of the image is saying - he certainly doesn't demonstrate that - yet claims it...

    That's an interesting assumption. I'm just commenting on the oddity of using a software engineer as a source for expert virology advice.

    Strange source. Mostly conspiracy theory-level stuff. Don't see how a software engineer has better expertise than a virologist.

    2ND HALF GAME THREAD!

    New coach, same results. Shot ourselves in the foot again. Gave the game away again. Disappointing. Seen this same show way too many times now. Hard to envision reaching a bowl game this year.

    Players can wear social justice patches on jerseys

    What? Gee, thank you Sean Hannity, for that brilliant insight.

    Global Warming

    The stupidity is thick in this thread. Rover, you are out of your depth. Simply because we cannot predict the weather with a high degree of certainty beyond a week or two does not logically lead to the conclusion that we cannot make meaningful predictions about climate. However, I think your...

    (Very OT) Baby Vaccinations

    What precisely is that snarky comment supposed to mean?

    (Very OT) Baby Vaccinations

    Yes. But at least there have been a surprisingly low number of fruit loops in the thread so far. The answer is simple. There are few conditions (immunocompromised individuals) where it is advisable not to vaccinate. For everyone else, experience and scientific evidence overwhelmingly...

    OT - advice on HVAC installation - Lincoln

    We built a new home and our contractor used Comfort Techs. They did a nice job and built a tightly sealed duct system (verified by duct blaster testing).
