On a side note: everytime I see a video from this person, I'm baffled by the set up. It seems like it's primarily 3 people who are on zoom, not talking mostly, while someone who is not present on the zoom talks to them? Why is this set up this way?

Exactly. Which is why I'm baffled as to the number of times I see people who stray from the script (which says "stop") get assaulted for insinuating that it doesn't stop while still acknowledging and accepting the benefits that the vaccines actually offer.

Did you just quote a section of my post on misunderstanding only to misunderstand my point deliberately?

He said it does not stop you from getting sick or spreading. He never explicitly disagreed with the fact that they reduce illness or transmission.

He literally said "hinder transmission".

On top of that, this point about "stop" is stupid. It's at best a misunderstanding, but moreover it seems like a deliberate attempt to squeeze in a statement to suggest that the vaccine does nothing. It does stop it, some of the time.

No vaccine does what you are implying this one should. And you are underestimating what reducing the transmissability and infection rate would do given a fully vaccinated population.

Very early study, but it appears they're having trouble getting a variant specific vaccine to be more effective than the booster shot (third dose of Moderna). If you're holding off on getting the booster that already exists, you might end up waiting a while.

Moreover, it's pretty clear that having a booster protects pretty well against omicron.

So preprint here refers to an article uploaded onto a preprint server prior to sending it out to a journal. Looks like you seem to be referring to preprints as accepted manuscripts prior to copy editing, but that's different. Likely preprints aren't common in your field (they aren't super common in social sciences, but getting more common in some fields), which is likely why you're unfamiliar (if you are, i could have misread).

I think, for the vast majority of cases, what people put up on preprint is usually their honest go at working towards a scientific problem. And for the most part, that's not all that different from what gets published.

Really, the publishing system is vestigial from the days prior to the internet. The only reason it's kept around is because hiring committees, grant committees, etc, don't have a clue how they would "objectively" evaluate people without counting the number of CNS papers an applicant has or summing up the impact factor of all their pubs. Like, it's really not an exaggeration to state that this is the only reason anyone is publishing in journals at this point.

Realized I misinterpreted with the original statement was, so I went back and found a more pertinent answer.

The bigger issue is not whether or not they're rejected, it's that only 10% are published in peer-reviewed journals.

Publishing can take years from first submission to acceptance. That statistic doesn't mean what you think it means.
