President Biden Enlists McDonald's To Promote Vaccination.
McDonald's, the fast food giant, is promoting Covid vaccines for the Biden administration. From McDonald's:
McDonald’s partners with the Biden Administration to provide trusted, independent information on COVID-19 vaccines
If this doesn't convince the average American that Covid vaccination programs have ZERO to do with health, I'm not sure what will. Perhaps a campaign with Philip Morris for a cigarette you can smoke right through a KN-95 mask. There is no health in fast food. There is diabetes, stroke, heart attacks, cancer, obesity, organ failure. All the the factors that put one at higher risk of dying from Covid are created or worsened by eating McDonald's food. There's no HEALTH to by found by this policy. It's a ruse. And it may be racist.
Fast food consumption affects the health of People of Color more than White Americans, especially children. From our own CDC: Non-Hispanic white adolescents aged 12–19 consumed a lower percentage of calories from fast food on a given day than both non-Hispanic black and Hispanic adolescents. And this: a higher percentage of non-Hispanic black adults -- 42.4 percent -- said they consumed fast food than non-Hispanic white adults at 37.6 percent, non-Hispanic Asian adults at 30.6 percent and Hispanic adults at 35.5 percent.
It's definitely ironic.
President Trump was mocked from bringing fast food into the White House for visiting . Late night talk show hosts pilloried him. The Twitterverse virtue signalers castigated him. Will they question President Biden's reliance on McDonald's to promote his vaccination race?
President Trump roasted for serving fast food to Clemson players: 'I thought it was a joke'
Kimmel continued, quipping: "And you know he's taking whatever they don't eat back to his bedroom. He'll be like the rat in 'Charlotte's Web' tonight rolling around in Quarter Pounders with cheese."
Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers mocked the president for hosting a meal that appeared to cater less to the tastes of his guests and more to his own well-documented preferences.
"Mr. President," Colbert said, his face contorting into an uncomfortable grimace, "is it possible you're just projecting your favorite foods onto them?"
McDonald’s teams up with Biden admin to provide ‘trusted’ information on Covid vaccines
The company announced on Tuesday that it was partnering with the Biden administration to make “trusted, independent information” about the jabs more accessible to American hamburger-eaters.
TOB thanks! I like a good yoke. Statistics is not in my jeans, but my seat of the pants assessment is this group 12-15 it might be wise and prudent to let this group develop the antibodies from natural exposure. We're basing public health policy on the tyranny of tiny numbers. Time will tell.

For Michael:
I meant to type "0 of 1005 Pfizer-injected children." There were only about 1000 kids involved in either arm of the study--fewer than a large public high school.

Michael, I was kind of joking. Obviously, a placebo is not given an efficacy rating. My point was that 0 of 10005 Pfizer-injected children were diagnosed with coronavirus during the follow-up period, so Pfizer says the two-shot series is 100 percent effective. However, there were only 16 children diagnosed in the 978-kid placebo group, so we're not talking about big numbers here. There is a heck of a lot of extrapolation going on.
In statistics, you'd do a t-test and ask yourself what number of diagnosed infections you would need to see to determine that the difference between the two groups is not just an artifact of chance. (For example, you could flip a coin and get "heads" 20 times in a row without the coin being fixed. It's only over a long series of tosses that the heads/tails ratio gets closer and closer to 50/50.)
If you look at the 95 percent confidence interval, the Pfizer product could be as little as 75 percent effective (from Pfizer's document or the LOA from FDA--I forget which). And 95 percent is not some magic number. If you wanted to do a 99 percent confidence interval, the effectiveness number would go down even further.
Coronavirus has not been a serious problem in the vast, vast majority of children, which is why the placebo group did so well. Now, if Geert Vanden Bossche is right, these mass vaccination campaigns are only breeding and spreading stronger and stronger variants, so in a year, who knows? Society may have thrown kids under the bus in yet another way! but right now, the whole "100 percent effective" claim for Pfizer in kids 12 to 15 is based on some really tiny numbers, including the number of infections in the placebo group.

@madness
I think you will find this article quite interesting....if not horrifying:
South Africa’s (historic) Secret Plan To Sterilize Blacks Through Vaccines
"A number of years after the end of the apartheid system in South Africa, a Truth and Reconciliation Committee was established to reveal the wrongs that had been committed against the people of South Africa and to begin the process of healing and reconciliation between the parties. Yet even during the process of “uncovering” many of the atrocities committed against black South Africans some of that information has been largely ignored throughout the decades after the system ended; most notably, a system of attempted genocide of black South Africans by means of a national vaccine program."

Somebody (not the original somebody but the other somebody) said Dr. McFauci himself was going to be there. He won't be hard to spot with the red hair and white coat, handing out balloons.

TOB--I looked at that document and I did not understand the data that would give the saline placebo of 98.4% efficacy. Could you please elaborate (step by step) for us less able to see the numbers clearly.
Thanks

I’m extremely worried for the future of people of color, and American children in general - regardless of skin color, language or diaspora.
We are on the edge of vaccine totalitarianism.
And childless, TikTok Tumblr Redditor zoomers with chronic, vaccine induced disorders are going to be involved in politics.

Seems like every president shortly takes the crown of worst in history from his predecessor. This one, though, has accelerated the degeneration of the nation with astonishing rapidity. I still like a lot about Trump, but he is the one who gave us "Warp Speed," the worst decision any president has ever made. Worse than Truman dropping the A-bomb. Worse than Daddy Bush and Dubya's murderous attacks on Iraq.

It's been a week of ridiculous news. The McD promotion is right up there with "teen vaccination party night," during which your kid rides a bus to Levi's Stadium and gets free Niners gear, and then somebody calls you to ask if it's OK also to give your kid a 'rona injection. (https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/05/11/covid-teen-vaccination-party-night-at-san-francisco-49ers-levi-stadium/)
But the topper is probably the ACIP recommending the Pfizer injections for children 12 to 15 (right along with your back-to-school shots, kids!) based on the geometric mean of titers in 190 kids (see slide 21 here https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2021-05-12/02-COVID-Perez-508.pdf). In about 1000 kids, the Pfizer shots were "100 percent effective," but the saline placebo was 98.4% effective, so.... yeah. Basing a decision for tens of millions of American children on a test population smaller than a public high school. Wow. Hashtag-science!
I think we may need a post by Mark Blaxill to explain what a geometric mean even is. It's usually used to compare investments because of annualization and exponential growth. I'd put serious money that none of the 14 folks who voted "yes" could tell you off the top of their heads.
