The thing he got wrong was kind of significant: everyone thought he had demonstrated “the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation” while actually, the thing he had missed was nuclear fission. Your discussion about Alfred Nobel’s original bequest and how it differs from the norms of present-day Nobel Prize awards brings to mind a bit of science history which may or may not have something to do with why present-day awards seldom get awarded soon after a major discovery.ĭid you know that Enrico Fermi got his Nobel Prize for a mistake? I love his watercolors! Does he plan to sell them? I would love to own one. Despommier’s many notable accomplishments, this one is also noteworthy: Thus, how can parents know if the vaccine or covid is worse? Is there other information that will also come out that clearly shows which is safer? Or maybe in this study will there be data that correlates to severe outcomes? Or…?Īmong Dr. I was wondering will we be able to tell the difference in risk between covid and the pfizer vaccine based on this study? The risk of severe outcomes for children in those age groups is so low, that in a study of only 3000 there may not even be a severe adverse event in either leg. I hesitate to ask, as I don’t want to give fodder for anti-vaxxers, but… I saw that Pfizer had applied for authorization in 5 to 12 year olds based on a RCT of 3000 children.
(We both volunteered to help give out the vaccines.) Naturally my 5 year old isn’t vaccinated yet. I was thinking about the possible connection of super antigens, HLA and Neuropathology that was discussed in episode 815 and am wondering if a similar mechanism could partially explain why the polio virus can cause paralysis in some individuals?Īs well, could you explain reassortment versus recombination? Is reassortment a type of recombination but recombination is not necessarily reassortment?įirst some background, my wife and I are vaccinated.
I don’t know very much about super antigens but maybe will learn more about them as I continue to listen to past TWiV episodes, I am at 288 and still have almost 300 episodes to go before I am caught up. I really enjoyed the interview with Moshe Arditi and Ivet Bahar.
