My mom's a nurse & called for my opinion on the vaccine. I said I trust it bc all the usual steps were followed, the nature of RNA makes long-term effects unlikely & any potential ones prob won't compare to the known effects of COVID. She now feels convinced to get it next week😊

"That's incredibly shocking, bc Black Americans have made great progress in terms of political representation & other measures but it doesn't seem to be translating into wealth gains"
Wow it's almost like representation in a yt supremacist system isn't a solution to yt supremacy
White millennial families have about $88K in wealth, Black millennial families have only about $5K in wealth. White millennial wealth lags behind older white generations by 5%, while Black millennials are 52% behind older Black generations.

Thank you. Very frustrated with how almost every bit of reporting on this pandemic has been from a panic angle. Even good news gets twisted. Obviously we don't want people skipping second doses if we can help it but 92% retention is outstanding.
Alternate NYT headline:
92 PERCENT OF AMERICANS RECEIVED SECOND COVID SHOT ON TIME, WILDLY EXCEEDING PAST TWO DOSE VACCINE CAMPAIGNS
“Given so much protection comes from the first shot,” one official said, “even the other 8 percent is doing well. It’s an unmitigated success!”

60% vaccine efficacy against omicron in kids is way better than I would've guessed. Too bad minimizers spent two years saying kids were naturally immune so vaccine uptake for them has been trash 😔
Study in NEJM on efficacy of 2-dose vaccines in 5-11 yr olds; Summary:
-protection against omicron infection peaks at 60-70% soon after vax but wanes
-high effectiveness against hospitalisation (with uncertainty)
-additional protection with vax even with prior infection

Because this is just an extreme example of what happens on a smaller scale every day on the floors, in the OR, at conferences, on the job market, etc. And in so many fields outside of medicine and at every level of education. It's why people "leak" out of the "pipeline."
