I didn't say they were doing it. I said any honest person would know it was wrong IF someone put down the vaccination status of a patient without verifying that status.You do not know what they are doing. You make assumptions. And not ALL honest people accept the premise of your narrative.
Alex is all over this. Great to see true heroes like this getting accurate information out there.
Mostly true, the truth is there have been vaccines for RSV most of been ineffective or even dangerous but we have given them to high-risk patients from time to time. I remember this during my pediatric residency in the 90s when we would occasionally bring out the old vaccine in certain premature infants.
There is also a new RSV vaccine which is getting the fast track thanks to Covid.

I see the temper tantrum has officially entered Day Two.Hey where do you go to school?
Looks like that article is using the same source material as the Vox article that admitted that the number of unvaccinated included anyone who had received 1 vaccine shot but not two AND anyone whose vaccination status 'could not be confirmed'.

Honestly, don't you guys research the information you read at all? Or do you just run with it if you like the headline?
So you made this up too. Got it.If you were someone who could have a good faith discussion, I might have taken the time. But you consistently don’t read whatever I source or just pivot to some other crackpot argument.
Could be several reasons:I take your point, but the practical difference is probably negligible.
There is a significant difference between the effectiveness of one shot vs two.
And why do you think those “could not be confirmed” cases could not be confirmed?
Could be several reasons:
1 = They forgot to ask
2 - The patient died before they could ask
3 - They intentionally didn't ask
Point is, if any of the three reasons happened, the numbers of unvaccinated are inflated.
There is no scenario where the number of vaccinated can be inflated. There are SEVERAL scenarios where the number of unvaccinated could be inflated.
That matters to people that want accurate numbers.
Here's the question you SHOULD be asking: "Why don't they just create a category for 'vaccine status unknown'?"
At the hospital?I am no Sherlock Holmes, but I have a sneaking suspicion that most of those "could not be confirmed" cases are people who declined to give their status out of fear that they will be shamed or given second-class treatment.
At the hospital?
Well of course you meant the hospital. But if I had replied as if you said that, you would have cried about how you were being 'misquoted' again.No. At the Gathering of the Juggalos.
You brought something up like this but don’t want to talk about it anymore? LOLIf you were someone who could have a good faith discussion, I might have taken the time. But you consistently don’t read whatever I source or just pivot to some other crackpot argument.
OMG LMAO!Funny part, you had to google it. Know how I know….I got the same link on the first line of my results. Be better doc mcstuffins
OMG LMAO!
I know I shouldn’t even really entertain this but just so there’s no confusion:
This is what we have used for years to prevent RSV in high-risk patients including my time in pediatrics in the 90s:
Palivizumab is used in certain infants and young children to prevent serious lung infections (such as pneumonia) that are caused by a certain virus (respiratory syncytial virus-RSV). Palivizumab works by preventing the growth of the virus. This medication is not used to treat RSV infection, but should be continued even if your child gets the RSV infection to prevent a more serious infection.
And this is the vaccine and I was referring to:

And the soon to be combination between the two is remarkably similar to what we do for coronavirus although we don’t use the antibody infusions to prevent coronavirus even at high risk people like we do RSV.
I’m not posting this for anybody except those that pop in the board and want to see how Pseudoscientific and manipulative some are on here
He’s a reporter. Our resident shit poster always attacks the messenger/reporter but he never seems to address the actual information he posts.Alex is all over this. Great to see true heroes like this getting accurate information out there.
No egos, just public health. As it should be.

That’s when he’s not busy asking everyone but @Tmi512 where they went to school and what they studied. Because if you didn’t study what he did and you don’t have 200 years of experience heroically saving lives and shit posting on message boards you should STFU and and stop questioning anything. Just get the shots and lie to get the booster and fall in line.
CONCLUSIONSNew England Journal of Medicine research on the effectiveness of vaccines vs the delta variant
Sarasota Memorial Hospital:CONCLUSIONS
Only modest differences in vaccine effectiveness were noted with the delta variant as compared with the alpha variant after the receipt of two vaccine doses. Absolute differences in vaccine effectiveness were more marked after the receipt of the first dose. This finding would support efforts to maximize vaccine uptake with two doses among vulnerable populations. (Funded by Public Health England.)

Every study has limitations. It would be disingenuous to dismiss the findings outright because of that. As a matter of course, researchers are obligated to address the limitations. You will see this in any respected paper. And I fully agree with the authors' warning here.“ Our study has several limitations. The find- ings are observational and should be interpreted with caution. Low sensitivity or specificity of PCR testing could result in cases and controls being misclassified, which would attenuate the estimates of vaccine effectiveness.”
