6:45 – Prof. Vincent had a good question – triple vaccinated get what? This *is* a concern for those 70, 80, and 90-year olds. I believe the CDC defines advanced age as something like a comorbidity or at-risk. What do triple vaccinated 70 year olds get?
What happened to 26:46-28 minutes when you are about to speak critically about cdc new metric? It’s a terrible shame if this is intentionally cut. This is the place we come to think and discuss things critically.
