When I consider what a sculptor can do to stone with hand tools, "make this rock flat" seems a rather simple-ish task.

... and reflections at the edge, please.

hmm, first approximation would be a flat wave bouncing off the "ice wall", that would already contradict a lot. The dome ought to be hemispherical, the problem is that barometric altimeters work in every airplane, which means air pressure changes with altitude, and so does the speed of sound in...

Germany has a vaccine mandate for health care workers effective in March (with medical exceptions etc.). A newspaper has a front-page story about "unvaccinated health care workers fear for their jobs", and in the classifieds 126 ads by unvaccinated people looking for a job change. Source...

Well, it's updated data about Omicron; I did not know that vaccine uptake among the immunosuppressed is 95% in England, common appeals are "we must protect the immunosuppressed"; and the data on pregnancy and vaccination appears to be new. You could always ask a question instead. The red curve...

I'm just disappointed because I did the work to read and excerpt data from the UK that came out today, and then that gets absolutely buried in squabbles over worse data, and surgical masks 2 years into the pandemic on a "current events" thread (just wear N95/FFP2, the price has come way down)...

boosted plus mask, negative test is a bonus none of the options you list are legal where I live and this is our hospitalisation rate (per 100,000 over 7 days) for the past month (was deep in the orange in December)

Astronomy's not fake, the stars are fake and just happen to look the way they do because of refraction and perspective, I keep getting told. The sky has to not be what it looks like because of the FE dogma.

Yes. The accompanying text clearly states, "Total patients hospitalized: 123". Maybe the vaccination "didn't take" for them. Over here, we've had criminal cases of "vaccinations" done without vaccine on unsuspecting people.

I thought the comparison to a month ago is interesting. I didn't expect that me writing "this graph does not indicate booster efficiency" would prompt you to go ahead and abuse it like that anyway. :confused: Don't blame this on me.

Wouldn't these be deemed hopeless? I refuse to draw conclusions about boosters from this chart, because it is • a small data set • with unknown confounders. Please draw conclusions about boosters from the UK data I have just posted, it's bigger and better.

Explicit support for these two statements of mine is in post #1131.

unless the surrounding county hospitals transfer their more difficult cases to the University hospital which would confound your ratios please do not draw conclusions that your information about the data set will not support

UK Health Security Agency - England COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report: 20 January 2022 (week 3) via https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-vaccine-weekly-surveillance-reports Excerpts: Studies have now reported on vaccine effectiveness against infection in healthcare workers...

I looked for them, but they're hard to find. I found some official stats about institutions in Michigan that have over 60% of their residents boosted, but under 30% of their staff, which made me think that vulnerable populations were more likely to be boosted; hence my comment on my post with...

Same odds as a Boeing 767 hitting a tall building already rigged for controlled demolition, obviously. One-in-a-million chances crop up nine times out of ten. Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites

The WA DOH had/has a very thorough weekly report on "COVID-19 Cases, Hospitalizations, and Deaths by Vaccination Status", but they're not reporting boosters yet. January 19, 2022, Summary Unvaccinated 12-34 year-olds in Washington are • 2 times more likely to get COVID-19 compared with fully...

I think you're overinterpreting the numbers, given what little we know. I recommend instead looking at the weekly death rates in my previous post at https://www.metabunk.org/threads/covid-19-coronavirus-current-events.11085/post-264367 , they're based on more data and don't have selection bias.
