Done reading. Seems a bit out of date, with the references to "blogs", but it isn't. What it describes is now mainstream media practice.
Excellent read. Helped affirm intuitions that built up in me over the past 3-4 years as well as fill in gaps re: the mechanics. #MustRead

Also helped assert a sound basis to some rules I've found myself adopting online e.g. on here:
If anything is a trigger, I refuse to act on it. The check is always what I feel - if angry, outraged or shocked, the reflex-in-training is to feel the emotion and Do Nothing.

Reaction from me does not come cheap and certainly not easily or so frequently. If someone wants it, they have to work harder/do better.
If something's rapidly getting traction, ignore it till the dust settles. As it is, there's sweet f'all I can do about something already ...+
... occurring. And the last thing i want to do is react first and think later. If the thing really meant something, I'll do better for myself - figuring out what it was all about - when it's cold.

... I have learnt to ignore everything reported online that suffers from these defects. 👇
This illustrates tokenism and half-measures taken to the extreme. And a large part of the problem is the teaching community in these IIsT (and the like).

...between 5-15 minutes. Typically, there seems to be only one registration desk per centre. The injection takes less than 5 minutes. A 30 minute observation wait is mandated.
The numbers of *immediate* AEFIs following injection suggest an infinitesimally minuscule risk. +
But you wouldn't want to have the observation area unsupervised by a trained medical staff. So, it's possible to hold a mid-sized count of people safely at that stage.
Ideally, if I were to hold 10 at a go in the observation area for 30 minutes. I would need to get 10 ...+
Most states now have their latest TPR > 10% (contra WHO ref level of 5% and below). Average now risen to 19%+ on the higher side of the inner 1st-3rd quantile range from 14%-23%
TPR growth negative for CT, DL, JH, MH, MP and UP

There are certain matters on which - for the survival (or a better future) of the collective - everyone (aka those whose survival is not threatened) contributes to or invests in. Education, Public Health, National Security are three well understood cases.
