Given the low booster uptake, estimated high case rate, and low hospitalization rate, does this not imply a much less dangerous infection? (whether through previous immunity or changes to the virus itself)

I pointed out how you were really mischaracterizing one of the quotes on your newsletter and you never addressed it. Kinda don’t feel like you’re acting in good faith on this one. (I don’t have much of an opinion on origin fwiw)
The "Proximal Origin" authors didn't believe what they wrote in their paper. They engaged in a sustained effort to deceive the public. The evidence for this is clear and robust. They even had a gallows humor about it because what they were doing because was so obvious.

In an interview earlier this year, we asked Coates what he would say to those who complain that history makes them uncomfortable. He talked about the discomfort that many people feel every day, and said those who seek comfort from history don't make good citizens. (2/3)

It's not a new point but I can't help repeating. No female founder could show up dressed like this in public and expect to get handed billions of dollars. via @nytimes

1. Not true 2. Seems fine 3. There is no $ to spend
Guess what? The billionaire who "donated" Patagonia to "fight climate change" will: 💰 Get a $700 million tax break 💰 Still control the company 💰 Spend the "donated" $ to influence US politics Billionaire philanthropy is a scam. Tax the fucking rich. https://t.co/58jZSvpOGO

I'm a middling baseball fan, but it's an interesting game and it's an opportunity for me to get more into the game and become more a fan of my local team. And MLB is flat-out telling me to go away. Okay then. Guess I'll just keep not caring about baseball. Well done MLB!

The fact that in TYOOL 2022, there's a Yankees-Mariners game on, and it's on a channel that I pay for with my cable subscription, but I'm explicitly blocked from being able to watch it, is pants-on-head insane.

A couple days ago they had a bunch of sites with integer-underflowed two-billion-percent increases. It's bad data.

I wish people would stop using this data. It's terrible. For example, a single county in Ohio, showing a decrease of 100%, in increase of 120%, and an increase of 882%.
Updated virus wastewater surveillance in limited 468 sites that monitor 10% have increases 1,000% or more https://t.co/bc8crKZDHu

If more people in mainstream media or financial media played video games, @Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick would be under so much pressure to resign there'd be a countdown clock on @CNBC.
