>> OT - just got the Moderna shot. By mid-February will get the second one. Our county took a while to get organized, but now - as the guy giving me the shot put it - it’s a well oiled machine. 15 minutes from the moment we parked until we got the shot. Hope we see that here but right now, hard to come by, at least in our county. My wife got an appointment for Feb 8. I'm going to try to spend 2hr a day to find it. Seeking freedom ;)

I pinged my provider - Health Partners which is a fairly large regional integrated health care provider and insurer - about what is going on with the vaccine. He said they don't have any vaccine, they don't know when they'll get any, we'll keep in touch.

On the mask issue, the date is Jun 20. That is the day on which Fauci flipped from "No reason for well people to wear masks" to "Can't go outside without one." A week or so before, Fauci had indicated there might be a change in policy coming. My immediate response was, "Oh, great, the science must have changed." So, I went looking. The only change I could find was an instantaneous surge in decidedly non-scientific articles telling people they're better off wearing masks, with claims presented as though it were obvious to any informed person that a mask made of two layers of T-Shirt fabric will capture virus particles. I found articles offering ACTUAL science where the author was asked to change or remove his scientific study, and most did so. In some cases, working links from a couple weeks before become HTTP 404 (missing) pages. Disappeared like something Stalin might have done. Today, I equate the science behind masks with that behind climate change. A science of accommodation. Cargo Cult Science at its worst.
