I feel so bad for the kids. No one’s looking out for most of them & the ones whose parents are trying to protect them from repeated infection w/a vascular, immune-disrupting disease often get told they’re “crazy” & should force kids to “get back to normal.”
The new normal just keeps getting worse.

My first SBM article 5.5 years ago was about how Vinay Prasad wanted unvaccinated kids to get Covid.
That was his animating goal the entire pandemic.

Recently, Wesley Pegden, Vinay Prasad, and Stefan Baral argued in The BMJ that "COVID-19 vaccines for children should not get emergency use authorization". Their argument is lacking, and they left out

What's up everyone! I'm doing a Workshop for Ukraine in #rstats, I finally finished up a flyer. We'll be working on the Lotka-Volterra predator prey model. Just doing some math, coding, and making some nice visualizations. Some thoughts (1/n)

Sharing the analysis and the code along with the history is very positive peculiar journalism. They did everything in R which is great. You can explore the github repository. Of course, the result is not positive for Baltimore but I'm happy on how the authors reported the analysis process. #rstats

#rstats I'm looking for tidy tools for categorical / frequency data.
Data sets in frequency form or case form can be tidy, but have different model & graphics syntax.
What about tables, matrices and arrays, often so convenient frequency data?
Does anything exist? Seems like a big tidy gap.

Universities have existed for more than a thousand years — and for almost all of that time, they weren’t centers of research. What changed in 19th century Germany?
