But sure each to their own.

A challenge trial Get 1000 healthy young people 18-25, put them in a medical compound, pay them well €10,000 each and put Covid in the air and we will know for 100% how it infects, do vaccines stop transmission, do they stop symptoms At a cost of 10 million its peanuts Why no country has done it I don't know, nothing unethical about it, volunteers no the risk.

And someone typing in all caps to make a point doesn't sound like a credible source of information to me. No disrespect to you btw, I just don't see why an anonymous Twitter account would be treated as a source of info on anything, especially when they retweet information from actual credible/scientific sources that could equally be posted here.

If there's a similar thread that gathers this information and explains as such but with an appropriate dull looking profile please show us. I dont know if you are being sarcastic of about Luke o'Neill because expertise aside, the way he posts on twitter is definitely toward the realm of pop science more so that Mac N'Chise.
lucernarian wrote: » Honestly I haven't seen LON retweet them, I actually followed Luke partly for that reason. And really that's just one expert of many who have provided informative and educational posts on twitter. I still think that mac and chise account posts sensational tidbits and black-and-white conclusions on complicated topics, and they're gonna emphasise their point in CAPITAL LETTERS. To each, their own of course. I just don't get the appeal of it compared to so many other primary sources of info. Like, why the secrecy about who their employer is/isn't, or why post information about Moderna when they have their own Twitter page?
Corholio wrote: » Someone you mentioned, Luke O'Neill follows that account and retweets from it too. Quite a bit of info that 'experts' talk about come from secondary accounts like this that have much deeper involvement in inner workings than the likes of O'Neill, who I don't dislike but has the same access to these studies as you or I because they get posted on twitter etc.

If we get all our over-70s done and it turns out we can't use any more AstraZeneca, we're screwed. Interestingly, Sputnik V and Johnson & Johnson are both very similar (viral vector vaccines). I imagine you'd expect to see similar issues there.
