Get vaccinated, people.

Wow, India is really losing control: 273,802 new cases yesterday:

I think the issue with the J&J blood clot statistics is not the rate (6 out of over 6 million) but the timing. Yes, the rate is less than the statistical background, but the fact that they occurred so soon after the vaccination is reason to be concerned and why CDC and FDA are taking the steps...

"The demonstrators included members of anti-vaccine and far-right groups, the newspaper said." What does that mean? Nazis? Q-anons? Ya'all-Qaeda?

My wife gets her 2nd dose tomorrow as a critical worker. Almost didn't happen though. One of her coworkers tested positive two days ago and it was assumed she was a close contact, so my wife went into self quarantine and we were informed she would have to wait until she was released to get...

No, the uncomfortable questions and being faced with his own words are the antibodies that made Piers Morgan get up and leave!

I finally paid to watch 1917 this past weekend. Excellent war film. Exactly what I picture WWI to have been like, from the rotting body parts in the mud of no man's land, to the otherwordly devastation of the town areas. We also paid to watch Raya and the Last Dragon this weekend. My wife and...

Your immune system reacts to any vaccine by producing antibodies, and a number of other defenses (B cells etc.) which can get pretty complicated. I am certainly no expert but I do have some public health education and I work in public health. The reason CDC says "may" and not "will" is because...

And your body reacts to the spike proteins by creating antibodies... the same antibodies that would be created if it was a spike protein on a real virus. Hence the antibody test comes up positive. The J&J vaccine does the same thing, it just uses a (harmless) virus to deliver the instructions...

As they should. That's how vaccines work.

Congrats! I haven't checked in in a long time, either. I appreciated your review of the CBT format. I passed the old paper based test going on 15 years ago now (when I first joined this site!). I found the Schneiter book to be a lot harder than the actual exam, at the time, but I did appreciate...

Vaccination is about a lot more than just yourself. There are people everywhere who legitimately cannot be vaccinated, for various health reasons. The entire concept of herd immunity (the actual, defined concept not the news media and Facebook concept) is that if you get a large enough...

Here you go, straight from the horse's mouth:

Wow 1.6 kilotons? Yeah can't exactly design for a tactical nuke....

And everyone has seen this already, right??? This is possibly the most amazing thing I have seen yet. Actual video from landing on another planet.

I'm not an expert either. But I have heard through reliable channels that the EUA is the reason the military is not requiring it, and that they will require it once it receives full approval. If the military doesn't believe they can require it, I wonder how any other employer could.
