Fall tasks: (1) inflate tires; (2) flu shot, and; (3) COVID

Yes, the new Vera Rubin Telescope is a wonderful advancement.

But I don't trust any science claims from people who don't know the difference between "astrological" and "astronomical". While their representations may differ by just two letters, or three ASCII binary bits, their meanings are vastly different.

 

These figures are not what I'd call "fairly rare":

"RSV leads to between 3.6 million and 6.5 million outpatient visits annually in the U.S., between 190,000 and 350,000 hospitalizations, and 10,000 to 23,000 deaths. For patients 50 or older, each year brings about 110,000–180,000 hospitalizations and 6,000–10,000 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

As for Medicare coverage, that may depend on the flavor of your Medicare plan(s). Mine said it is covered, though it hasn't been long for incorrect advice on that to be discovered and billed.

 

ours is covered under our medicare plan. and it's only once, which is nice.

i'm getting covid and flu shots wednesday, wish me luck, i hope i don't show up on vaers!

 

In laymans terms it gets the point across, it's a brain typo, I know the difference. If they can't win any of the major points they go for the minor ones. And none of the science claims are mine, they are all sourced from the doctors and scientists involved.

The CEO of Pfizer Albert Boarla's specialty was animal depopulation through infertility drugs

Why do major high profile doctors come out against the depopulation drug? When you know it severely jeopardizes their career? Because they are good people with a good conscience?

 

It is a pattern, not an isolated brain typo.

 

Re: RSV.

my doc. told me to get the vax. As in ASAP. I am 66. The issue is daughter is giving birth any day and they want max protection for the neonate.

Medicare Part D covers in my case.

Already up-to-date with flu, COVID and diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, shingles. And I have natural immunity with all the measles, mumps, chicken pox cases I caught as a kid. Of course, I had whooping cough too, but that apparently wears off.

 

On my risk scale, motor vehicle fatalities are well above the threshold of concern, and deserving of some attention. Got my RSV immunization a month ago, just after spouse learned it was now covered on our plan.
