Did you have Moderna before?
I did. Not much after effect except a sore arm……
Did you have Moderna before?
Yes, though the small sub-population was by design (which is dictated by time and money), and not by participants refusing blood draw.
The blood test was an IgG test, which assesses previous exposure to COVID, but not active infection. So neither symptoms nor blood tests are "better," they just test different aspects of infection. However, the data from 340,000 participants is certainly more robust than the small subset.
So as a physician, you put more credence on what a patient reports as symptoms over a blood test?
I get the blood test in this study does not indicate active infection, but just trying to wrap my arms around the inconsistency of trusting the symptoms people claim over 'The Science'.
Feels over verifiable facts?
My Girldfriends uncle is on the vent and will probably die of Covid-19. He was 50, extremely healthy, and fully vaccinated.
Crazy.
Think about how dumb you have to be to think you know more about medical studies than a doctor.
Agreed, but it does perfectly fit the mentality of the current Trumpite GOP. Thanks to the internet and social media everyone thinks they're an expert on just about everything, and traditionally recognized experts - that is, people who actually have training in their field and have spent their careers working in that field - are all "overrated", "elitist", and whatever other epithets they can think of. It's the age of the self-made, self-proclaimed, internet-based expert.

So, you are invited to a 6 person dinner party and you KNOW the “other” couple invited is not vaccinated. You don’t believe it’s your place to “out” the couple but you have no interest in going as a result.
How do you respond to the host/hostess who has given you 3-4 dates to choose from? Oh, and you’ve been with them the previous week at a gathering where you knew everyone was vaccinated.
