J. Ives. Author, adventurer, & data job office drone. I post about books, fantasy, tabletop gaming, mtg, skiing, and sometimes environmental and health policy. Opinions are my own unless they’re bad.
Had to have these conversations with hesitant patients daily and people’s minds changed because offline people are nowhere near as polarized.
There’s tons of literature backing this up, AAP, APHA, Jpeds all have guidance documents and links to papers if you want to read more 2/2
I think experienced wildly diverge online and in person. Online it is extremely combative, with many hardened, mind-settled antivax people.
In person, I have had countless good faith conversations with questioning people who ended up vaccinating. I worked with frontline PH nurses/CH workers who /1
This is the one I would go with too
Abstract Traditional vaccines target specific pathogens, limiting their scope against diverse respiratory threats. We describe an intranasal liposomal formulation combining toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and 7/8 ligands with a model antigen, ovalbumin, that provided broad, durable protection in mice for at least 3 months against infection with SARS-CoV-2 and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the vaccine protected mice from other viruses (SARS-CoV-2, SARS, SCH014 coronavirus), bacteria (Acinetobacter baumanni), and allergens. Protection was mediated by persistent ovalbumin-specific CD4+ and CD&+ memory T cells that imprinted alveolar macrophages (AMs), enhancing antigen presentation and antiviral immunity. Following infection, vaccinated mice mounted rapid pathogen-specific T cell and antibody responses and formed ectopic lymphoid structures in the lung. These results reveal a class of "universal vaccines" against diverse respiratory threats.
The study has been published in Science. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
Hey I’m an epidemiologist with a kid married to a pediatrician and you’re being an abusive idiot
“Based off no data”— this is wildly ignorant.
Even when it’s antivaxxers, we have evidence for how to deal with them.

This is an unbelievably bad faith (borderline illiterate) read of this thread that betrays a deep lack of understanding of the public health space & science communication broadly.
A buck wild character attack on someone who continues to be strong ph advocate.

To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politics—at immense material cost to others.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I am following this with bated breath, our “watch reality shows and scream at the tv” group has been very games-curious as of late
Thanks for the reply!
I hope the lecture goes well & would love to watch the video if the lecture is publicly available.
Or how people are being forced to do some of the horrific jobs in service of creating AI?
Hope the presentation goes well!

Are you including any discussion of the fact that many of these “AI” products are actually just outsourcing humans getting paid a pittance?

What valley???
I didn't vote for Trump. But could I have done more phonebanking sessions for Harris? Absolutely. Even if it's not your fault, it's your responsibility. I will NEVER forgive myself for being born here.
What about childish gambino’s incel era? (Bonfire is the song whose instrumental is being used here)
@donaldglover.bsky.social how are you feeling about the use of bonfire’s instrumental?
Of course these absolute dorks use a music sample from childish Gambino’s incel era
