Listening to the Skeptic's COVID update reminded me of this; https://emilyoster.substack.com/p/vaccines-and-transmission-redux-redux . Although I'm not at all equipped to assess her calculations, I instinctively feel they don't capture all the nuances of the risk factors. Anyone able to comment? Great pod Skeptics!

2021-02-14 20:39:40 +0000 UTCWas so happy to hear the comments about spas and yoga and their close ties to pseudoscience. I want to just enjoy those experiences without all the woo! An atheist spa or yoga would be fantastic! Why can't we just relax... and that be the goal! 😉
