either you've seen the wrong episodes over and over, or you're just not approaching it with any sort of an open mind. even in the opening song you don't like the "staccato melodica" theme song, its just a small snippet of a longer song their musical director composed that the creator decided to snip down and turn into a game of musical statues...its just supposed to be fun!
and there are episodes like Cricket where it is nothing but kids behaving ideally and overcoming real challenges
Everything else in his post is correct though. I saw his video, it’s a constellation he’s just never noticed before. And he’s supposed to be one of the smarter than average citizens out there
The friend who found a bet with 42% implied probability that paid at the equivalent of 10% implied prob should just go back and try again because they’ll become extremely wealthy in a few more minutes time at that casino!
This article makes confident assertions one after another that are pure opinion and guesses masquerading as fact. He has no proof about how the show is formatted now vs then but makes assumptions left and right to justify his opinion.
Luckily, if he hates how Sesame Street has tried adapting to modern tastes and ideas, he can always find the original episodes and show them to his kids instead.
It’s not a binary thing. One virus enters a cell and it makes thousands of copies to spread in the body. Each of those get attacked by the antibodies and T cells pre-generated from the vaccine. No vax or no prior infection and the body is learning while also getting ravaged by the virus.
And as for immunity from infection, your body makes antibodies for the prefusion spike (the free floating form that infects cells), the post fusion spike (after it binds to ACE2), and the nucleocapsid. Since prefusion spikes are what bind to cells for entry, you’d want your immune system focused entirely on attacking that vector. China’s sinovac vaccine generates nucleocapsid antibodies and it’s failing in the face of omicron.
