And, now this, too:
Baseball is a somewhat conservative sport - more than 150 years of various traditions and all - but this level of stupidity remains mind-boggling nonetheless.

At least the Natâs fired the guy. Working remotely isnât a solution; there is still plenty of staff that will be interacting with them in studio.
Smoltz and Leiter should both be smarter than that, and if theyâre not, then MLB shouldnât let them endanger the studio crew

Rio de Janeiro starts vaccinating the elderly with a third dose. The first ones to receive the vaccine were the elderly residents of âRetiro dos Artistasâ, a retirement home for retired artists.
Until September 10, only seniors living in nursing homes will be vaccinated. After the 13th, all the elderly, following a queue according to their age, will receive a booster vaccination.
On the other hand, they had to halt the vaccination due a vaccine shortage. The city ran out of doses of Coronavac (second jab for adults) and Pfizer (First dose for teens).

Thatâs terrible news.
One of his interns must have had to do a fecal float to diagnose that one.

âThis was not Mikeâs time,â Karen Weiskopf said. âHe made a risky decision not to vaccinate.â
â For months, she tried to convince her husband to get the vaccine. He gave it serious consideration before he grew ill and wished he had been vaccinated when he got the virus, she said. In the hospital, Michael and Karen Weiskopf cried and prayed. But it was too late.
Before the funeral, the Department of Health offered coronavirus vaccines starting at 9 a.m. in a tent outside the Coliseum. Karen Weiskopf wanted to use her husbandâs death as a way to encourage others to get vaccinated, police said.â

Also not defending her but, while weâre telling relevant-adjacent stories of our vaccination cardsâŠ
I had my first Pfizer shot at a huge mall that was processing thousands of people a day and had 50+ stations for delivering injections. On my second visit weeks later, entirely out of coincidence, the exact same EMT happened to be there that day and by total chance I was randomly assigned to their bay. We were both impressed by the odds. So my card has the same handwriting and signature for both shots, too.

Sure, but hers has the same handwriting, but different names. Of course someone will be along to tell me her nurse got married in between shots so her name changed.

In yet another about face, after months of mounting pressure finally snapped his will to resist science and good judgement, Ontario 
's Premier Doug Ford finally introduced vaccine passports⊠except without the passport part.
Businesses are not impressed about the idea of vetting random pieces of paper, some inevitably like Ms. Mrozakâs vaccine card, for validity.
Yet again, the well behaved among us will continue to help to not spread COVID, while the badly behaved will become more dangerous because those in the middle will have dropped their guard.

So the âmasks donât workâ crowd will STFU, right?
The findings were released Sept. 1 on the Innovations for Poverty Action website, prior to their publication in a scientific journal, because the information is considered of pressing importance for public health as the pandemic worsens in many parts of the world.

conservatives would love to claim tradition, ritual, and sport as their own. like patriotism, that dog donât hunt
as far as i can tell, modern conservatives want power and little more
( heck, the most âconservativeâ of the times are green new deal progressives. the word seems nearly meaningless when the only people i see interested in conservation are on the left )
fwiw, i honestly think that sports seem conservative mainly because of who has the money, the leverage, and the time to buy teams
( they can have american football tho. i guess )

Iâm not an expert, but arenât antibody levels basically the easiest thing to reliably measure wrt. immune reaction? Which would make this the classic error of focusing on what we can measure, instead of what is most relevant.
@FGD135 Thereâs a lot to dislike about Saudis, but they do take vaccinations seriously. Comes with having to manage the masses of pilgrims at the Hajj every year.
@mr_raccoon Well, Joe Rogan is a horseâs ass, so itâs kind of appropriateâŠ

Exactly. Itâs the drunk looking for his keys under a streetlight. Neutralizing antibodies are pretty clearly associated with protection, but they are expensive and difficult to measure, so most studies donât.

For anyone who didnât know, this is where we (in pediatrics) are now.
And for all the anti-vax, anti-mask, pro-life asshats out there, please promptly fuck off.
