Hence the whole "philosophy" thingy. -

AMA survey shows over 96% of doctors fully vaccinated against COVID-19
JUN 11, 2021
CHICAGO — The American Medical Association (AMA) today released a new survey (PDF) among practicing physicians that shows more than 96 percent of surveyed U.S. physicians have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions. Of the physicians who are not yet vaccinated, an additional 45 percent do plan to get vaccinated.
The national AMA survey is the first to specifically collect data on practicing physicians’ COVID-19 vaccination rates. The survey was conducted June 3–8 and showed an increase of more than 20 percent for physicians who have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 compared to a May 2021 Medscape poll.
“Practicing physicians across the country are leading by example, with an amazing uptake of the COVID-19 vaccines,” said AMA President Susan R. Bailey, MD. “Physicians and clinicians are uniquely positioned to listen to and validate patient concerns, and one of the most powerful anecdotes a physician can offer is that they themselves have been vaccinated. You can take it from your doctor: the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. With COVID-19 vaccines readily available and approved for all people 12 years old and up, we urge you to get vaccinated—take the single most important step you can to protect yourself, your family, and end the COVID-19 pandemic.” -

2021-08-12 at 11:03 PM UTCThanks for validating that a person can have a PhD in a medically related field?
I guess my point was you shouldn’t feel the need to get defensive bc the vaccination hesitancy of the highest level of education is almost equal to the vaccination hesitancy of the lowest level of education according to that graph.
You might not take medical advice form someone with a PhD but why would you automatically take medical advice from someone with a masters without knowing what their actual degree is in? Just bc that group is less hesitant and that fits your belief system?
The graph is pointless. Level of education is irrelevant. -

2021-08-12 at 11:48 PM UTCDo masks actually work? The best studies suggest they don't
"Another trial Anderson mentions is a 2015 study that directly compared cloth masks to surgical masks. Its 1,100 participants, each of whom was a healthcare worker, were instructed to wear their masks at all times on every shift for four weeks. The study found that those who wore cloth masks were 13 times more likely to develop an influenzalike illness than those who wore surgical masks. But even the surgical masks were found to be “poor” at preventing the penetration of particles, and cloth masks were “extremely poor.” Surgical masks let through 44% of particles. Cloth masks let through 97%"

2021-08-12 at 11:59 PM UTCI think the implications should be that people should wear a mask if it makes them feel better but not make it mandatory anywhere.

Which one?
I have posted tons of papers in the last few days.
Here's another one about ADE.
Infection-enhancing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize both the original Wuhan/D614G strain and Delta variants. A potential risk for mass vaccination ?
"In conclusion, ADE may occur in people receiving vaccines based on the original Wuhan strain spike sequence (either scary science thing or viral vectors) and then exposed to a Delta variant. Although this potential risk has been cleverly anticipated before the massive use of Covid-19 vaccines6, the ability of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies to mediate infection enhancement in vivo has never been formally demonstrated. However, although the results obtained so far have been rather reassuring1, to the best of our knowledge ADE of Delta variants has not been specifically assessed. Since our data indicate that Delta variants are especially well recognized by infection enhancing antibodies targeting the NTD, the possibility of ADE should be further investigated as it may represent a potential risk for mass vaccination during the current Delta variant pandemic. In this respect, second generation vaccines7 with spike protein formulations lacking structurally-conserved ADE-related epitopes should be considered."

I think your next "booster" will be a totally new "vaccine" if I'm reading this correctly. -

Originally posted by Lanny There is no attempt to identify causation in the paper you linked. It's sorta assumed (which is pretty questionable) based on these two papers which are cited:

csn you suggest or state how causation can be proven in this case. -
