US approval of triple-dose "boosting" is now all-but official. But will triple-dosing plausibly change infection outcomes? (I argue yes, but for the worse.)
Hi Brian, I enjoyed the style with your unique sarcasm. I wanted to throw out something that may of may not come out in the next few weeks. I have some family where the wife wanted to go on a cruise with her girlfriends this fall and decided to get the vax and not tell her husband. Of course very suspicious of the worldwide experiment, he was totally dead set against being a test subject. He of course was livid, but what can you do now. She however is now fully aware that she got hoodwinked after hearing about the necessary booster that they let out of the bag and now has ultimate buyers remorse. I think more will also wake up, however, as you point out above there are some that just will leap off the bridge again and again until something gives. Nothing we can do for them. I am hopeful for those that do get a breakthrough infection can ultimately survive with an adaptive immune reset to get off the runaway vax train, but we probably won't see proof of that for a while. If they can't and likely won't do Covid Vax autopsies, they aren't going to see if you have natural immunity again as they never allowed you to default to that in lieu of the vax. And why they are trying to vax kids who have a robust innate immune system is beyond me and they should know better. I guess we'll see what happens.
Ah! I've seen it *now*, lol. Of course, I don't find my personal impression of the likely veracity of the adverse events signal to be of value to others (rather than my argument for why the sensible policy is to *treat* the signal as reflecting reality, in the absence of any better data). But I'll certainly say I'm quite relieved I'm not a Covid-vaccinated 18 year-old in general.
People dissatisfied with a product are always more vocal than those who are content with it; those who are happy with the booster scheme have already been speaking with their feet (or should I say shoulders). It's hard to tell what the split really is so I would just put it at 50/50 until further data is available.
I'm agree RE the intrinsic mismatch. This is why most essays have link-anchors over the "hard" content, for easier reference. (These are sometimes not added for a few days after posting). So, when I'm sharing my own content to support a claim I am making somewhere else for example, I end up using anchored links more often than not.
As for "tiring," well, it's not like I'm the one writing the script. If the media and science journalism would stop trying to make everyone crazy via a fabricated narrative, I wouldn't have to keep pointing out the ridiculousness of the narrative, haha. I think it's important to confront how truly close we are to the kind of total civic disruption most Americans don't think is possible here, and how the media is the reason. But yes, once again, this is a mismatch with the "outsider epidemiological analysis" content.
Thanks for your feedback, I will continue to think it over.
FYI, I have linked to this article and mentioned you in my latest Substack piece - please correct me if I got something wrong about what you were saying here. Thank you!

Re: He of course was livid, I meant to say we need more patience in these trying times but it came out as what a dick.

Your prose is tiring. I wish you would write in a straightforward manner. What you are trying to say is too important for the wordsmithing sideshow.
