I wasn't asking what it was 'about' I was asking whether you had any evidence that it was difficult. I'm talking about safety nets, what does having t...
Yes. Evidence of this here on this site, where Coronavirus posts have focused almost exclusively on the moral culpability of the unvaccinated, with ba...
Do you have any evidence of this difficulty, or are you just guessing? Again, do you have any evidence, or are you just guessing? In the UK, 50 year o...
Are you implying that those are difficult to answer? That the need to make a few decisions first is sufficient to prohibit worker-ownership or democra...
What kind of self-immunised, circular twaddle is this? "Leaders lead because they're leaders". Your point? Whatever the organisation, the lowest paid ...
Not sure if I cited this already, but there's a blog in the BMJ recently on the issue you might be interested in - https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/05/0...
I've literally quoted the medical dictionary on what it means and you still persist as if you were some font of knowledge... Depends on the context. I...
All true. I'm not seeing any relevance to the claim that the unvaccinated infectious are clogging up hospitals, or that the vaccinated infectious are ...
I agree with the combination, but not the way you've put it. Infection is morally irrelevant without transmission (which you already account for in th...
Yes. And as I've cited, that's the definition of 'safety' used in the industry. Safety is the degree to which we know what the dangers are. If a medic...
Oh, it didn't appear to be a quote. So people keep saying. No one has yet explained how that gem of statistical understanding everyone is so proud of ...
Exactly the kind of anecdotal evidence we've been trying to stop anti-vaxxers from using to spread disinformation. Yes, it is. What difference does th...
Yes. And the argument is that waiting will increase the safety by decreasing the uncertainty (risk). As I said, safety and efficacy are not binomial, ...
Why would I require proof that it's not an extraordinary case? Yep. Which is why I wouldn't demand that it's met. I'm not demanding anything here. It'...
Ludicrous. I advise risk analysts. Safety is entirely measured in terms of certainty. If anyone is 100% certain of a negative effect it is mitigated. ...
Yeah. I think that's exactly why we're seeing the higher percentages. The point was about restriction on movement. In that context it was claimed that...
Well then I wasn't clear enough. I wanted you to support your claim that... 'It' being the take up of the covid vaccine. Evidence would therefore have...
The vaccinated infected make up about 40% of all covid-related hospital admissions (source - https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceutica...
It is safer on Tuesday because by Tuesday we'll be less uncertain about it's effects than we were before Tuesday, because the FDA will have finished c...
I don't have any interest in you believing them. You do you. What bothers me is that the fact that I don't is being used to paint me (and others of my...
Why would evidence of the effectiveness of the measles vaccine have any bearing on the effectiveness of the covid-19 vaccines? We're not discussing th...
Your argument is that everyone in America should get vaccinated even if they live rurally, are healthy, socially distance etc. Thus using up precious ...
Yes, that's what I said. No, that's not the choice is it. If I said to you "wearing a hat will kill you", you're not then deciding whether your fashio...
None of that has any bearing on the matter of whether it will be rendered more safe by the work being done to complete the BLA approval. It's just a l...
...? Maybe, but if I disagree with you about the causes, then the consistency of human nature doesn't help arbitrate between our positions does it? It...
I don't follow you. Why, if it's on average 90% efficacious would it be less likely in all categories? If, on average drunk people are more likely to ...
The problem here seems to revolve around two things; Firstly the confusion between medical advice as to the safety of the vaccine and ethical decision...
Far less likely than whom? The unvaccinated? The unvaccinated but masked? The unvaccinated but healthy, the unvaccinated but rural dwelling, the unvac...
Interesting. How is it that you know this? What you believe is irrelevant. why would your guess as to the reasons of others have any bearing on the ma...
So confused. ...They must complete the thing they've actually already done - because all their work is about safety and efficacy which they've already...
Yeah. But we want to minimise surprise, so a good match between the probability function of the model and the distribution of the hidden state is some...
I believe the source of the data for each of my inferences is external to the model doing that inferring. I also believe that the source of the sensor...
I think that BIVs are more significant for you, perhaps, for this reason. I don't believe the object is out there in the 'real world' in the first pla...
Indeed. And you'd have a perfectly reasonable and well-evidenced support for your position if you were to believe that. The point is that there are ot...
Safe and effective enough is an individual judgement. Do you expect the government to tell you if you'll personally find riding a motorbike to be safe...
OK, I see where you're coming from. When I model, both the front ends are just 'Hidden State', so they're equal, to me. One last fling... Even in the ...
Tricky. None of us know the state of the world outside our Markov blanket, so we infer it. If we're BIVs (prior to any thought that we might be), then...
I think this only holds if you can somehow quantify each of the safety levels (unless I've misunderstood what you mean by 'marginal', I took it to mea...
I see. I don't think anything that anyone is doing at this level is falsifiable, they're frameworks through which we can view the data. That's not to ...
I don't see how it applies to the BIV. 'Reality' is just a word which in the computer game case we're using to distinguish between the game world and ...
Really? I thought is was so nonsensical as to be beneath reply (and I reply to some garbage sometimes!). My argument is that TMF simply assumed that t...
