This may sound odd but I would recommend a trade that cannot be easily replaced by AI. Something like an electrician or roofer. Then try to get an apprenticeship with an older professional and learn as much as you can. Skip college completely and just start a business instead. You will be so much better off financially compared to say, a lawyer who will be in debt for a while and who’s job is about to be made obsolete by AI.

Dodd Frank did away with bail outs. It will be a “bail in” using customer deposits this time around.

I guess I was fooled by the exact wording you used like the parent poster. Was there any particular reason for that?

Seriously.. we should censor medical doctors posting peer reviewed studies on Twitter. Now THAT is my kind of freedom.

Copy and pasting the parent post? Or are you just admitting to the world that you’re a bot account

This already-tired argument again.

Vaccines for influenza have been around for decades. The first covid shot was the first ever mRNA technology ever approved for human use.

Now the booster doesn’t simply swap out strains. It moves from a monovalent to a bivalent (original formula plus the Omicron Ba4/Ba5 formula) and we shouldn’t test it? The first ever bivalent mRNA vaccine. Deployed to everyone on the planet. With absolutely no human testing done.

If you’re okay with it, that’s great… that’s your personal choice to trust corrupt health authorities and for-profit vaccine manufacturers. Let me know how it goes.

No, they have not tested bivalent COVID-19 vaccines in large human trials. The best we have right now are some antibody titers results from 8 mice.

Oh that’s for sure. You know that this is the case when the Omicron Ba4/Ba5 booster alone had higher antibody response (on mice, not humans. Humans weren’t even tested) than the EUA authorized bivalent booster which combines old and new formulas.

No, this is wrong.

The recent “5 times higher deaths for the unvaccinated!!!” headline was a study the CDC cited that used predictive models to make the claim that you’re more likely to die being unvaccinated. They put a number on it of 5 times but it’s just estimates of what could happen, not what did happen.

There are no numbers that exist to back up your claim. Or post away with a source if you think it’s real.

I think you misspelled “unknown” and it came out as “overwhelming”.

All jokes aside, the only benefit of this booster was seen in wildly inconsistent antibody levels of 8 mice. It has never been tested on humans.

Call this exactly what it is, “the untested Omicron booster”.

Approved just in time for everyone to already have gotten Omicron and thus have natural immunity.

The same “antivaxers” that elected to take the Lymerix vaccine, were injured and then fought to stop others from also being injured?

The profoundly idiotic weaponized use of the word antivaxer will be an embarrassment for decades to come.

“Damn antivaxers!”

“But they have all their recommended vaccinations and only were injured with myocarditis on their second COVID Booster”.

“…damn antivaxers!”

Actual vaccine side effects and law suits. They settled for millions.

Here we go again… yes I want my debilitating arthritis to come from the vaccine instead of the actual infection like what happened with Lymerix. Eye roll

>This new candidate is different from a previous Lyme vaccine that GlaxoSmithKline pulled off the market in 2002 amid controversy and low sales.

Missing a rather significant statement here: controversy and low sales because it gave people Lyme Disease that did not have it previously.

I see Kristian Andersen on the author list. This is the same Kristian Andersen that told Fauci in an email that the virus was inconsistent with evolution. Meaning it was likely created in a lab. Quite the “about-face” to say something like that and then contribute to a paper with the opposite stance. Did they kidnap his kids or something?

There is also no mention whatsoever of the furin cleavage site which kind of kills the credibility of this paper.

“Herd immunity is the protection of an individual from infection by virtue of the other members of the population being incapable of transmitting the virus to that individual. Herd immunity can be achieved by immunizing a population with a vaccine that interrupts transmission, such as the live, attenuated polio vaccine, but not with a vaccine that does not interrupt transmission, such as the killed polio vaccine.”
