once the fervor dies down a bit i wonder if this big crowd of online dorks who are disillusioned with the system and just discovered mass action will be more open to leftist ideas

who has an established WSB account and wants to start pushing unions? lol

idk man i said this elsewhere but i think the lesson of this day is "we can gently caress up finance capital with well-targeted street-level capital" and that is not going to lead to Leftism

if the big powers come down and limit this kind of behavior that might radicalize people into left or right populism but it remains to be seen which side of the knife it falls on

Yes absolutely stock was around 360 for more than long enough for new shorts to enter, but the question is how long are they prepared to stay. It seemed pretty clear to me today if they uncapped rh the stock could pop another hundred bucks today. If your a short on Monday and all these people held over the weekend... idk that would be scary for me. I am shocked they've held through close.

they did not account in their models for how dumb redditors are

good news for them because uhhhh with the novavax south african variant trial (tl;dr: having had/survived the "original" coronavirus provides no protection to catching the SA variant, which is also vaccine-resistant and more transmissable) we're not going to back to the movies for awhile~~

low key sex master posted:

I thought I read the SA variant wasn't vaccine resistant

Novavax is the only company to run a trial there. Vaccine had 60% efficacy in the non-HIV population against variant compared to 90% against non-SA variant. pfizer/moderna only tested in lab setting.

60% is still better than nothing but it's like "you might not get the flu" vs "okay you're almost certainly not gonna get measles" as vaccines go

PostNouveau posted:

Huh?

Pfizer vaccine only slightly less effective against key parts of South African variant, study finds

late but: as i said in a post this is a laboratory study run against an engineered mimic of the SA variant (that does not have all mutations) and not the real thing. and the novavax vaccine � only one we've tested in the field � is also still "effective" it's just not 90% it's 60%. plus the fact that the SA variant is completely unaffected by antibodies/immune response generated by prior infection with other forms of coronavirus. and it's 93% of cases being studied in SA right now.

like based on what we know now it's effectively a brand new disease, but appears much more transmissable *and* possibly more deadly. the good news is that we have NPIs (masking, distancing, proning) from "normie" covid-19, we have some treatments that might be effective, and the vaccines *might* still be strong enough to keep people from dying and to slowly cut down on spread if we get them out quick. but this is why all the companies are now scrambling to manufacture booster shots to be delivered to the whole world in 2022

also this week has taught me how just i have no money instincts in a way that years of general wage stagnation has not because my coworker messaged me yesterday and said "hey thanks for enrolling in the novavax trial"

me: "oh yeah sure, i mean, tbh i mostly did it to have a chance at getting the vaccine early, but also happy to help advance science or whatever"

coworker: "no you moron, i mean, when you posted in slack that you'd enrolled last week, i thought 'hmm, petey's cautious and smart, he must have done his research before enrolling, i'm going to go buy a ton of novavax stock', and now that their UK phase 3 is out they're up 70% this week"

like i did indeed do like a solid week of research on the vaccine development before enrolling, read every preliminary study i could find, listened to podcasts of third party scientists discussing their approach, talked to md/phd friends about their design, universally heard that it should be a safe and very effective vaccine, and bet my own personal health on that but no money, not even the $300 they paid me day-of to get the shot

V. Illych L. posted:

so you're saying that vaccine companies are only going to keep growing

as i just posted i am clearly a moron from whom no one should take financial advice. but based on all of the health and vaccine policy networks i've plugged into, yeah, the sense is that any vaccination effort is going to require not just vaccinating the world, but then doing it again 2-3x with booster shots for new escape variants.* plus whatever non-vaccine pharmaceuticals can be used to treat it.

caveat that maybe we'll just get bored and tired and get to a sort of "flu, but worse, but not overwhelming hospitals" level of letting people die and things will stagnate from there

but i'm told that our residential life staff is quietly planning for not "normal" campus operations until 2024.

* if you want something speculative, there's some very interesting research out there that the standard MMR-II vaccine has protective effects against severe covid: https://mbio.asm.org/content/11/6/e02628-20. enough that there are some people saying "okay, well, let's just loving give everyone in the world an MMR-II booster." that's merck, i think, and they're actually down right now because their covid-specific vaccine failed. so i might put some money on them, idk.

BTW this meme stock thing made me consider Elon Musk a genius, like he deserves to be the face of this 21st century postmodern capitalism where tangible stuff doesn't matter while popular impressions and sentiments are everything. This isn't even finance capitalism anymore, finance capitalism was supposed to be about connecting nominally competing companies into monopolies and embedding yourself to leech off of industrial value chains. This stuff doesn't even pretend to be based on anything tangible anymore. Bitcoin wasn't an anomaly, it was a sign of the times to come.
