Bro, yiu will never qualify for an FDA pension admitting mistakes. Have the last 3 years taught you nothing?

Point taken. Unfortunately your pension has also been cancelled based on you gendering me by calling me "Bro". 🤣🤣🤣

I'm one of the few native Californias left here who actually grew up surfing. Everyone is Bro. Even my cat gets called bro when he gets a little wild.

No problem. The numbers have been like that for quite some time now. It was a slip.

A continuing problem, however, is the number of cases for which vaccination status is described as unknown. (Because a precise match is not found in the AIR, we are told.) This number/proportion has varied somewhat between the various states (when they all used to report it), and is a continuing frustration to those of us who would like to know what is really going on.

For example, I am at a loss to understand how a quarter of the people in ICU are described as 'unknown for vaccination status. Surely there is sufficiently intense hospital care and documentation to clarify so much missing data. Should not the hospital concerned know whether or not people in ICU are vaccinated??

You’d think so, but the state government here can’t even get the year model of my car right based on the VIN number between two different systems, insurance and registration, so who knows 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for updating your findings. 👍🏽 Accuracy is definitely a group process, and I appreciate all of us that value accuracy.

You are forgiven. When I start to dose off late at night I make mistakes too

I spotted that but I let you off :-)

But considering "most" defence these days after admitting it doesn't stop transmissions (we'll gloss over it making it worse) is that it reduces severity, there is a good argument there that even that isn't working as advertised.

It’s not the crime but the coverup that gets you in trouble. 😉
