Its good see airline pilots are still too penny-pinching to buy a newspaper. I used to appealed to see captains walking they the cabin trying to scarf up papers, magazines. Then, bring a Mickie DL’s bag back to the hotel for dinner.

Not true, I’ve subscribed to the WSJ for decades, now electronically to WSJ and NYT. I flew for NYT, when Dad the Smarter ran the place, can’t give it up even if it’s mostly unreadable.

Our groomer brought the papers, so yeah.

Funny how the interwebs work - it wasn't behind a paywall when I saw it a few days ago.

Linking a WSJ article doesn't seem to work... even if you have a subs, the link takes you to the subs page.

IR finds that booster shots reduce infection by a factor of four compared to two doses (5-6 times better against severe covid). They've only done boosters for 60+ so far...

This data is specific to their demographic, which means people who got the first two doses very early in 2021. It also doesn't measure any drop-off from the third dose yet (obviously).

It’s not penny pinching, it’s not throwing my money away buying garbage.

Yeah, , wouldn’t want any opposing information to open a closed mind

Statistically, much less likely and less severe. The number of vaccinated in ICU or, even hospitalized is pretty low.

Key word, likely.

4 of my friends in cane down with it in the last month. 1 vax’d, the other 3 not.

All had the same length/severity of symptoms. Which was very little.

It’s cute you have an opinion.

We all have covid anecdotes, and they're all over the map. It's irrational to base your opinion on what you observed with a handful of people you know.
