@JunellieG

@JunellieG There are tricks. First, every paper pretty much has intro, terminology, methods, results, discussion, conclusions.(may be slightly different; depending on your field. Find a favorite paper in your field and model that.) second, write each heading on a separate piece of paper. …

@JunellieG

@JunellieG Third, put the introduction page away for now, take the conclusions page and draft your conclusions. (If you don’t know the conclusion, you’re not ready to write the paper.)

It can help to title the draft “shitty first draft”. That reduces the pressure. …

@JunellieG

@JunellieG Now work BACKWARDS, writing a shitty first draft for each section. It doesn’t need to be complete, mine are often just bullet points at this stage. Now here’s a model for the content: …

@5cottE

@5cottE @deesnider See, that’s the problem: a white guy did write the opinion. But it’s the black guy taking the heat. Part of the problem is a lot of people who were told Thomas wrote an opinion, when what he wrote was a concurrence. It expresses his thought, but it’s Alito’s opinion./1

@5cottE

@5cottE @deesnider What Thomas actually wrote was that he thought the whole “substantive due process” reasoning was wrong and should be reconsidered. But that’s not part of the opinion. Lawyers call it “dicta”, which means that unlike the opinion, it’s not binding./2

@SchnellTim1

@SchnellTim1 @m_bridgm @lisakwildman @ChristinaPushaw Yep. NO VACCINE makes 100% of a population completely immune. It always increases immune response making people less vulnerable. Often a large proportion is nearly completely protected. But breakthrough infections still happen. In many cases those breakthroughs are less severe./1

@SchnellTim1

@SchnellTim1 @m_bridgm @lisakwildman @ChristinaPushaw measles are a good example: one dose of MMR is about 93% effective, which means about 93 of 100 who would have gotten measles will not. Two doses, 97%. Neither number is 100. Of vaccinated people exposed to measles, 3% will get a breakthrough case, but it will be less severe./2

@SchnellTim1

@SchnellTim1 @m_bridgm @lisakwildman @ChristinaPushaw This is a pretty precise match with Covid early on, but we don’t say MMR is not a vaccine, just a therapeutic. Why? Because people staked out scientifically nonsensical political positions. On both ends, as I was saying. One was saying “with vaccine you won’t get it”, the other/3

@Majikula

@Majikula @LisaMarieBoothe You can also work it out with arithmetic. The vaccines are 80 percent or more effective at preventing infection, so compared to an unvaccinated population, that means only 1/5th as many infections. This means 4 of 5 won't transmit the virus. That suffices. But then ...

@Majikula

@Majikula @LisaMarieBoothe breakthrough infections are relatively rare anyway, so among the 1/5th who get the disease anyway, only a smaller percentage get a breakthrough, and without an infection, you can't transmit, So let's assume that 10 vaccinated get an infection anyway. ...

@Majikula

@Majikula @LisaMarieBoothe So assume you pulled the short straw and you're one of the 1/10th of 1/5th who is fully vaccinated but still gets sick. Then your case is likely less severe and shorter duration. Again, with limited data it's hard to say how much shorter, so let's just take a guess ...

@David_desJ

@David_desJ Well, no. I'm working on a detailed article with legal sources, but Congress is allowed to make its own rules and manage its own facilities. So if it wants to have a security operation for the Capitol, that's okay. ...

@David_desJ

@David_desJ It's analogous to Google hiring its own security guards. But having security guards doesn't mean it's permitted to set up a security office in Tampa and make arrests. It's worth remembering that the Constitution enumerates the things the government is allowed to do.

@David_desJ

@David_desJ So my original point is "where in the constitution is the Congress authorized to have its own national police force not under the Executive Branch?" It's not enough to say "where is it forbidden?" It must be _authorized_ in the Constitution.

@ChristineTatum

@ChristineTatum Bat soup was an old wives tale from the start. The Wuhan market was a statistical cluster that not even the first paper — which mentioned the cluster from the market — said was the only source. Another paper in February 2020 described person-person transmission. Almost nothing/1

@ChristineTatum

@ChristineTatum we've been told by the legacy press OR the upstart press OR politicians on any side has been accurate. Many of Fauci's "lies" — like reserving masks for first-responders — were said openly in March and ignored, to become lies when they were said again in June./2

@ChristineTatum

@ChristineTatum Many of the hysterical predictions in March — like 2 million deaths in the US by August — have been forgotten. The lab leak story, which has been a possible hypothesis from the start, were actively suppressed because Trump said it./3
