I've had the same experience with the flying doctors I've met, including a new partnership with my Ophthalmologist in his general aviation aircraft. It's also uncanny how many are into cycling. It's reassuring knowing that if I crash on a road ride that there will be a few in the group qualified to assist. |

I'll start an entry level class but I might just jump into the more heavy stuff and begin with advanced physiology and biomechanics.

CDC studies showing decline in vaccine effectiveness
Yesterday the CDC released the results of three clinical studies in their weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report which show declining effectiveness of the COVID vaccines in protecting against the Delta variant. These reports apparently were the underlying data on which the decision was made to start offering boosters to everyone: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index.html I’m puzzled as to how they decided on 8 months after initial vaccination. I have not seen any data which point to that being an optimal time. On the contrary, the Israeli clinical data, along with in vitro studies of antibody titers and neutralization of Delta, suggest that by 5-6 mos post vaccination protection has significantly decreased with the Pfizer vaccine (hence Israel’s decision to offer boosters after 5 mos). By waiting until 8 mos (plus further bureaucratic delays for many people), breakthrough infections may further increase. It’s so exciting being a subject in the grand experiment. |

Also, Latana what you posted does not prove anything? We know breakthrough infections occur with the vaccine. We also know the vaccine drastically reduces the likelihood of hospitalization and complications associated with COVID-19, there are umpteen studies done by actual researchers that corroborate this. You realize news and opinion pieces posted by journalists don’t amount to much in regards to proof, yes?

The skeptical part of me says that it is just that it happens to correspond to when the time the first groups in the US got their second shots (I got mine on 1/12/2021).

Then don't make the claim The reason you won't provide proof is because it doesn't exist but okay

We knew going into this pandemic that no-one knew what to do. We've been making this up since day one. The idea is to have, hopefully, smart people doing the making up and rely to the extent possible on the self correcting nature of science to get it as close to right as possible. With both the threat and the science developing rapidly there often seems to be no solid ground. That freaks some people out. Unfortunately, that's not going to change in the short term. Rampant stupidity just adds to the confusion. If we as a species can muster the cognitive flexibility to deal with the ambiguity - we may survive this. Some of us cannot manage the ambiguity. They demand instantaneous, concrete, unambiguous answers where there are none. The idea that things are changing constantly and rapidly causes them lots of discomfort. And BOOM - exploding heads.

I'm just thankful to have a genuine conversation without all the bullshit posturing and know-it-all, told-you-so attitudes. What the fuck do we know, anyhow? We do the best we can and keep plugging away, God willing.

I have to work hard to resist feeding the troll. His hubris is astounding.
