Finally, as others have raised, we do not have long-term evidence on the impacts of COVID-19 and reinfections, especially in the level of granularity required for individualised decisions like the one you mentioned. But that has more to do with how comfortable you are with risk than anything else?

Another point I'd like to raise is the clickbaity title, including the conflation I raised above. This is something to consider in the era of misinformation, given your role as a science communicator (which I think you do a great job on, btw)

What I am trying to understand here is why evidence at a population level is being extrapolated to personal decisions and individual circumstances. Each person (and child) is different; I'm not sure about this direct 'translation' from one situation to another

Would you recommend that one for someone who hasn't read Rebus stories before? I have it here and wondering if that could be my next read

a burger might be technically both a sandwich and a roll, but in reality a burger is a burger

Amazing stuff about your 1. From what I gathered, you're working with previous users of Stata, are you intending to help them transition into R or help them integrate between the two? For 2, I'd get stuck in the definition of sandwich. For example, is a burger a sandwich?

I think the best selling point is that it will give the analyst freedom to find their own 'style' of working by using two complementary tools. R can do anything Stata does and more, but Stata works and presents results in a way that R does not (or at least requires time investment to get there)
