    no idea about the specifics of the years, but he was definitely on the payroll for a hot second







  • okay, not against booster shots, but I do have to ask...

    I understand that as variants ravage the world we're going to need booster shots, but the current accepted wisdom is that most people will need to be vaccinated with a vaccine that's over 50% effective for there to be any sort of herd immunity (I know that's a distant dream, but stay with me here). Are they arguing that the new variant makes their previously 91% effective vaccine less than 50% effective? I can't help but feel this is a money play.




  • most of the fears about vaccine passports are unfounded but this shit actually worries me. the Chinese and Russian vaccines are plenty effective (the Russian is more effective than most of the others available) and are being distributed to poorer countries, yet political bullshit is getting in the way. like if you’re an Uzbek person looking to get vaccinated what are you supposed to do? wait until your country’s relationship with Germany improves? until the US cares about you?

    okay, I’ve been waiting for the soreness to go away, which is putting sizeable time between my workouts. I’ll tough it out and stop that — would prefer to have a routine anyway. thank you.
