But the same article has the following quote from the above video, from Bayer's executive Stefan Oelrich:
> “Ultimately the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy. I always like to say, if we had surveyed two years ago in the public, ‘would you be willing to take gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?,’ we would have probably had a 95% refusal rate. I think this pandemic has also opened many people’s eyes to innovation in the way that was maybe not possible before.”
So it seems Bayer (or at least, Stefan Oelrich from Bayer), indeed classifies the mRNA vaccines as gene therapy.
I just tried the quantized Q4_K_M from [1] in my RTX 2070 Super, it ran at 110 tok/s with 1800 tok/s prefill, and found the same solution to your prompt. It generated valid LaTeX for the answer but its reasoning trace uses mostly compact ASCII math notation. Took 3min 22s to answer, spending 22k tokens almost all on thinking.
“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
If I'm reading the charts correctly, the incidence of infection after recovering from Covid is around 13-15 per 100k after 6-8 months, and after recovering from Covid + Vaccination is around 10-14 per 100k after 6-8 months.
So it seems like vaccination does not present a clear benefit for someone that recovered from Covid? (The confidence intervals overlap)
I think the main benefit is that taking vaccine re-sets the timer on your dimnishing immunity from prior infection.
So if you had covid 8 months ago, but took the vaccine last month you have significantly better immunity than if you didn't.
While a person that took vaccine 8 months ago and was also sick even further back (for example 12 months ago), has roughly the same immunity as a person who was sick 8 months ago and didn't vaccinate.
It sounds like youre operating from a premise of unnecessary doses being slightly bad, vs slightly good. Is there a clear benefit to not taking pascals wager?
We know how and why aspirin works, and we've had it for decades. I don't want to live through class actions and apologies for long term vaccine effects.
I'm not interested in vaccines and it's not my job to be. There are scientists who dedicate their lives, and I'm waiting for results. Asking when I'm satisfied is asking a Las Vegas algorithm when its satisfied - it's irrelevant.
This is the result. After 10+ years they deemed it safe and gave it to 60% of the planet.
Youre saying youre waiting for some "results". The scientists say they are satisfied, but you say you cant hear them say they are satisfied. It's not that they arent, its your, in as polite of french as i have, fingers in your ears.
Youve decided they arent satisfied, despite their statements to the contrary.
I do take aspirin. I love it. Amd I'll take one/two/three/four covid shots in 10+ years when they're deemed safe. Right now, though, I'm wondering why so many athletes are getting injured all of a sudden, and why I hear people complaining of shortness of breath and such.

Meanwhile what's his deal? He accuses The Intercept of skullduggery because they dared edit him. Substack is most likely secretly subsidizing him to write there. I see him publish on Conrad "Trump pardoned me after I wrote a nice book about him" Black's NationalPost that the American press is in bed with Biden.
Granted, I am biased: at this point, 2021, populism enrages me like nothing else. Being on the internet feels like I'm trapped in some plonker's smoky dorm room.
I've used this https://gource.io/ for a good overview of group work then the build in analytics. Most of what I do is to download and run the code on my local machine, but I also ask for unit tests which help with the grading. All code is mainly C++ / OpenGL with python sometimes.

There's also a "Fact Check" article from Routers that says it is a "false allegation that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are a form of gene therapy":
