Ben Kaufman now has a substack.

...and only fuck did he dig up some public health insanity.

"Schedules will be adjusted to avoid sending those who aren’t vaccinated to destinations where they’ll fail to meet entry requirements, and managers won’t be told why workers are being kept off of certain flights."

Impressive. I should fly KLM more often.

"[T]hat sounds like a big number. But when you take account of the number of pupils, it works out to 41 days [of lost school] per thousand pupils or just 15 minutes per child."

"To put that into context, if the government had ended the schools’ lockdown just a day earlier back in March, children would have got a benefit 25 times more than that estimated from vaccinating over one million 12 to 15-year-olds."

...and that's the UK government's own estimate! WTF.

"this is why i find it so disingenuous to only measure vaccine efficacy from 7 or 14 days post dose 2. it’s like claiming that you’ll be safe if you run to the bunker, but ignoring that you must cross a minefield strafed with enemy fire to get there."

"If you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself as a teenager?"

"Not sure. But I do know that my teenage self would tell that mentally ill man who looked oddly like me to go away before I call the cops."

"How significant is it that the two top FDA officials responsible for vaccine research resigned last week and this week signed a letter in The Lancet that strongly warns against vaccine boosters?"

"This should be an open and shut case. In medical terms, the benefits of any intervention must exceed any associated risks: First, do no harm."

"Covid mortality in the young is so low that even a single vaccine-related fatality might well exceed the casualty rate related to SARS-CoV-2. Is this a risk worth taking? In an effort to control waning immunity, Israel is already on a 3rd dose of Pfizer for those aged 12 and over – triple helpings of heart failure, anyone?"

But even then, remember that the difference in risk from covid between unhealthy and healthy is about 10x or so; vax side effects aren't as they're your immune system. So those numbers indicate that for healthy children, it's likely that vaccine induced heart problems alone are worse than covid. And of course, that's not the only side effect.

Auxiliary nurse friend says: “If the government can do without unvaccinated nurses, it’s the most blantant proof that there’s no pandemic and no state of emergency.”

By reneging on his promise that covid vaccination won't be mandatory the game theory that Biden is setting up is next time there's a new vaccine, you _really_ should not get it to be part of the resistance to ensure it doesn't become mandatory later.

A sad day for public health. Vaccines should be a medical decision. Not a political decision.

"Churches in New South Wales will be required to use a vaccination certificate system once 70 percent of the population have received at least two injections of the COVID vaccine."

Sounds like an incentive not to get vaccinated...

tl;dr: since covid vaccination temporarily suppresses the immune system, the overall net benefit of it may now be negative.
