Wins By a Nose

Two interesting pieces in today's NYT, one about "Bloom County" highlighting Opus's Nose, and the other finally going somewhat deeper into the process of sterilizing/neutralizing (though neither term is used) vaccines. The bottom line, as usual and discussed in these missives before, is that being vaccinated may, likely will, lead to a surge. "We don't need no stinkin mask!!"

Vaccinated people who have a high viral load but don't have symptoms "would actually be, in some ways, even worse spreaders because they may be under a false sense of security," Dr. Maldonado said.

Or a true sense of arrogance.
