well pack it up boys, lets not make this go viral on social media and just hope the "peers" organically pick this study to review over the next 6 months instead of some other study that appears to be more in the public interest and has more popular people behind it

a while back I looked to see how long it actually took for the peer reviewed studies to come out for previous diseases and outbreaks, such as SARS 1. It was too long and we have to weigh inputs right now and react now.



This study backs up the claim that people who had it don't need to get vaccinated. If it gets widely reported, that probably means fewer people will get vaccinated.

So let me ask you this, what's the worst case scenario if they're right but had waited 6 months to get it reviewed? Then consider, what's the worst case scenario if they're wrong?


> If it gets widely reported, that probably means fewer people will get vaccinated.

So.. no change? At least in the US, we're already at the point where we have more vaccines than people who want them.


Good way to weigh things

I say this about every study

My main point is that it likely wont get peer reviewed, ever, unless it goes viral and people ask questions
