    The most important facts for you to remember today: Less than 0.001% of those fully vaccinated have had a fatal breakthrough case. Less than 0.004% of those fully vaccinated have been hospitalIzed. The vaccines work. The vaccines are your best protection from the virus.

    The Ford Aurora II never made it to the market, most likely because missing safety regulations compliance, but its wrap-around-couch and the passenger seat that could completely turn 180°, remain one of the biggest design braveries of the 1960s [more: ]

    Absolutely worthless headline/tweet without the subhed: "represent less than .08 percent of the 164.2 million-plus people fully vaccinated since January." Don't do this.

    2) Your friend from high school “who has done all the research and knows the truth about vaccines”, hasn’t and doesn’t. I have 2 degrees and 30 years of experience in medicine and I usually have to read these articles several times to make sure I understand them.

    An under-appreciated form of media bias is the drive for novelty. "COVID Vaccines Prevent Severe Illness and Reduce Transmission" is the exact same story we've heard for months. But that's boring, so we get a wave of stories highlighting breakthrough infections.

    I know I sound like a broken record But here's the thing The vaccines are largely working as expected We had an outbreak in P-town with lots of vaccinated folks infected No one died. Very few got sick And things have returned to normal This is how vaccines work folks

    The vaccines are working. Of the 900 cases related to the Provincetown cluster, there have been no deaths, 7 hospitalizations, and the symptoms are largely mild. Our positivity peaked at 15% on 7/15 and was only 4.8% yesterday. The outbreak is contained and Provincetown is safe.

    As a big fan of procrastination, I am glad to see this research

    Watching funny YouTube videos is bad for efficiency, but it can boost creativity. Our new research, 5 years late: if you're intrinsically motivated, a little procrastination can help you reframe the problem and access new solutions. Your first idea isn't always your best idea.
