In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!

Thinking about MTV coming on air Aug 1 1981. It was fantastic, but now I wonder if Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" lyrics would provoke. Knopfler was talking about himself, tho: www.reddit.com/r/LetsTalkMu...

While I truly dislike year end stories, I did one, and I’m breaking it into two parts. It’s important for us to remember where we were at the beginning of the year, the damage thats been done, but ultimately how we are on a better trajectory and should take hope.

The instrument that one would use to measure this level of failure is called a Bariometer
Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.
