thats from 11 Sept 2021 .... it's a very busy subject of active research. and published findings.
one thing he said noteworthy .... different versions of truth iirc ... or which data is true .. well I say ALL the data is true. it is. what varies is the interpretation meaning of that there data and how reliable in a holistic context is that data. does it really reflect REALITY or not at all, and if partially to what degree, and under which circumstance.
that is the appropriate jurisdiction of the authors positing hypotheses on that data in their studies and prior studies they are considering.
and this varies. all the time. on every subject but especially in fats moving research areas such a the newest virus discovery and it;s effects.
See?
See what?
that when people describe what they think about xyz research and study they are now always accurate, fair considerate or correctly reflecting the views of the actual papers/research/studies ... choosing to use words like what is true is selecting the wrong words when it comes to scientific research and what the data is, and what the data might be suggesting .... or iow buyer beware .. especially of people defaulting to EMOTIONAL TRIGGER WORDS to describe the findings of Data and Science in general.
from any side of an issue, no matter their "opinions"
anyway ... things have moved on since sept .... research builds on prior research .. not all findings are definitive but all findings can be useful and can be built upon, refined made better to produced more definitive research outputs .... which still cannot be said to be TRUE (or false)
Plus good scientists quote and ref previous work in their work, be it pro or con accepted or rejected in their own analysis.
good scientists keep publishing papers ... they do not ride popularity appearing on any venue open to them on a topic, where talk is all they do again I don;t know one way or the other but buyer beware should apply to all sources/opinions findings ....
this post and page has several research refs ... but pre-sept. https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,2996.msg325882.html#msg325882
so what does malone base his opinion upon, why does he reject research suggesting the opposite of what he claims??? good luck finding out why.
FOR EXAMPLE
Unvaccinated people twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID: study
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-08-unvaccinated-people-reinfected-covid.html
The new CDC study was based on 246 Kentucky adults who were reinfected in May and June this year after previously being infected in 2020.
They were compared with 492 "controls" who were matched by sex, age, and time of initial positive test.
The analysis found that unvaccinated people were 2.34 times as likely to be reinfected compared to people fully vaccinated with the Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
The duration of infection-acquired immunity remains poorly understood and may be affected by the emergency of newer variants, the paper said.
For example, laboratory studies have shown that blood samples from people previously infected with the original Wuhan strain had poor antibody responses to the Beta variant first identified in South Africa
[ but the/some research suggests the vaccinated are better able to respond to the different strains, no matter which strain they catch are exposed too ]
I'm not into arguing about this, if people don't want a vaccine that's fine by me. I do not think they should be socially penalized for not having it either... expect staffers in vulnerable high risk work spaces like prison nursing homes etc.
But hey, no one going to listen to me. LOL
and besides, I can't be bothered trying to keep up to date with the latest research findings either.
the other thing is, far too much of this topic has been screwed up with political and ideological beliefs and motivations and biased self-interests.
apparently no child can go to school in the US if they haven't been immunized against Polio .... that mandate has been around for decades (yes?) .... the water is very muddied. and I get polio vaccine is not the same as new rNA vaccines. Two very different things, yes, but the notion of enforced Mandates - on the balance of evidence and being socially acceptable and the accepted Law - is not.
Condoms use is now in the law books in some places too .... if sex is agreed with one, and you take it off, then you're up for a rape charge. Not sure what happenes if it accidentally comes off mid-stroke. The world is mad, let's not ever forget that. Covid BSing pro and con is no different.
cheers and good luck all ;-)
