That feeling when deaths in a pandemic have become nothing more than a curiosity...

This is wild. He has completely misinterpreted the data....
He's found how polling companies are compensating for their past two election misses, (where they underestimated Trump's vote share), and then double counted it to calculate his win probability 🤦♀️

A 60% increase in protection against hospitalisation is dire...
Obviously better than nothing, but we probably need a couple of shots to get any tangible benefit...which makes sense if the old vax provides zero protection as it won't serve as a "booster"

New data for the "updated" (XBB.1.5) booster
~60% protection from hospitalization and ED visits vs JN.1 and recent circulating variants

But vaccination w/ prior versions (& waned immunity) offered no protection vs hospitalization (Figure)

Getting a bad feeling about this...
I *highly* doubt it'll be "COVID 2.0"...and it doesn't appear to be limited to China anyway, despite the clickbait headline...but what it tells me is this year is going to be a particularly shitty winter for infectious respiratory "sickness"

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....
This tweet still breaks me because it still feels like yesterday...that awkward moment when I became certain that one COVID vaccine dose wasn't enough 😬

Elmo has restored this account at the death of Twitter, so I have the archive file and even more PTSD from re-reading the timeline
I'll make a submission to the UK COVID Inquiry. It won't change anything, but the UK's criminal vaccine response should be a matter of public record

Wrote some code to compare vaccination and case rates in different countries, so here's the 20 most vaccinated nations, (according to Our World in Data), with their respective case rates, (from Johns Hopkins University)
[UK is now 34th for vaccinations and 12th for case rates]
I demand my right to live with an infectious virus! 🤦♂️

August 18, Tokyo records 5,386 cases. October 16 they recorded 66 cases. That's an 81-fold decrease in 60 days!
China, with 1+ Billion people, recorded 27 cases yesterday!
But in the West we have to live with high virus circulation because <Insert Racist Trope About Asians> 🙄
My Twitter handle is the name of my music project, so does that count as "anonymity" or a brand?
I mean, I could just use my real name but it's hardly descriptive of my musical product... 🤷♂️
Would you consider removing anonymity on social media?
Anonymity on social media means MPs face huge attacks. The Home Secretary says that everything is on the table. “We want to make some big changes on that” said Priti Patel

And just to illustrate that point, this is an example of my music...

The COVID situation in the UK is an absolute disgrace
*England* alone has recorded 1,075,217 cases in the last 40 days
That's 1.075M cases, in a population of 56M people, which means 1 in 52 people in England has tested positive, (for the first time), in the last 40 days 😶
How have we allowed Johnson's govt to normalise this?? Over 900 people hospitalised with #COVID19 *per day* in UK and >800 deaths *per week*. And look at where we stand in relation to other western countries. Johnson's govt NEVER abandoned herd immunity; they just postponed it
There's now been 2,335,658 cases since #FreedomDay on July 19, (89 days ago)
That means 1 in 24 people in England have tested positive, (for the first time), since restrictions were lifted
