Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm going to assume anyone wearing a mask in the airport right now has been vaccinated four to six times. According to antivaxxers these people should be dead. According to the CDC I should be dead. Interesting.

I don’t think any of us against mRNA injections ever suggested a 100% lethality rate. There is some statistically significant % (it literally is showing up in insurance and disability numbers) that is having a tremendously detrimental impact on the world. Even at 1-2%, that’s tens of millions of people’s lives severely affected. As far as the CDC, well, we all know what they are.

Well put. I heard that word many times, but never understood the significance. It's much better to celebrate people's success.
that's what news says. imho most people feel empathy for people being wronged/ my neighbors & fam @ least
I haven't watched the news in years 🙂
