Mifepristone is an abortion drug. It’s use for birth control is off label.

Well sure, it reduces risk of transmission to you, and then your transmission to kids, and subsequent transmissions to vulnerable adults. But how much does it reduce the risk. When you are talking about such low risks, then you need to start considering low risks associated with taking the vaccine in the first place. What’s the value, and is it worth it. At this point in the pandemic, covid is basically a non issue, so there isn’t sufficient urgency to justify emergency approval anymore.

The journal article also shows that the affect diminished over time, presumably because the covid variant reduced in severity compared to early versions. This reduces the affect on the population and reduces the need for a vaccine. Especially a vaccine meant for a group that was never high risk to begin with.

Better than I expected, tbh, but these aren’t very compelling conclusions. There are several major weaknesses in the study, and it’s only one among many that reached different conclusions. They acknowledge all of this and conclude that more study is needed. What i get from it is that there might be (may have been) some detriment to society from covid, and vaccines could possibly reduce that detriment slightly. With the benefit being pretty weak at this point in the trajectory of covid, it’s not surprising that the fda isn’t renewing the emergency use approval. It certainly doesn’t warrant the hand wringing from the guy I originally responded to.

What are you basing that on? That’s a pretty strong statement…

The good news is that her risk is very very low.

Ours was the health teacher. It was an open secret that he put the hot girls right up front even though he made it very clear that seating was random. He also enjoyed sex ed topics way too much. I don’t think he ever got caught, but he was very weird.

I found pastors at number 3, behind teachers and music teachers.

Not sure why the knee jerk hate on this one. I like the idea of opening up academic articles and other materials for free and open use.

Whose was it? At what point in history was ownership established and why was it not the previously displaced people’s instead? How long does it take to establish ownership, and what means are justified to do so? Who exactly is the United States anyway?

Wait, do you think that the united states is less progressive than it was 10 years ago? How about 20 years ago? 30?
