      1. Biology is amazingly imprecise.

      2. Feed lab rats pesticides, some of them will get cancer.

      Feed lab rats organic kale, non GM smoothies with free range milk from cows that are sang to, some of them get cancer.

      Give folks a CoVid vaccine and some of them have reactions…conversely some folks get real CoVid and have no symptoms. Give folks a CoVid vaccine and some get cancer. Give folks a CoVid vaccine and some of them die from the flu. Some folks get killed in car accidents on the way to get CoVid vaccines.

      I’m sure the vaccine is relatively safe…just like MCAS. The stats are, indeed, strong.

      But to TeeVee’s point, there’s likely some other vaccine data that may or may not mean something…and yeah, the long term safety experiment is underway right now.

        JMO, some sort of acceleration tracking seems like it could be helpful. I’m always impressed with gross weight 747 takeoffs…and regardless of what you say, there’s some assumptions and risks that can sneak in there.

        I always thought a green, yellow or red color around the airspeed indication at 80 kts and V1 would be helpful.

        I apologize that I find situations where there are trade offs interesting, so pandemic responses and airplane operations are both interesting.

        Heck, look at an instrument rating that “frees” pilots to add risks to flying.

          Let's talk about aviation instead. When a new airframe is designed, it is not just some wild idea thrown out there to see if it flies or falls like a stone. It is designed around known science, known airfoils, known aerodynamics, and then tested in scale models, in wind tunnels, in stress tests, so the engineers know that it is going to fly before long before it is rolled out and test pilots are brought in.

          Then the test pilots fly it extensively with all sorts of monitoring devices in every scenario that could be expected when it enters service. Only then it is certified as safe.

          Yet, in rare instances, certain problems still reveal themselves only through the accrued hours of commercial service. This doesn't mean the engineers are "testing it on the public". Some things just aren't foreseeable and may or may not be attributable to design issues. This is the phenomenal. It's just part of reality.

          Of course, the analogy is not a fair one: vaccine development is much more scrutinized and far less subject to corner cutting or half-measures.

            That’s a very bold and pretty much unsupported statement.

            I can think of several examples of how it could be wrong.

            But, your proclamation is, nevertheless, noted.

                right, exactly what boeing did with the MAX. they took an extremely safe airframe (mRNA tech) modified from its previous design (covid virus particles, proteins etc) and let it loose on the world after a few months of studies, all the while telling the regulators that the changes were small enough to avoid retraining etc etc. the FAA (FDA) bought boeing's assertions, and allowed them to release a potentially deadly aircraft on the flying public. in an eerily similar manner, in the 1000's of flights by MAXs there were almost zero (statistically speaking) deadly (adverse) events. yet, 346(?) people lost their lives in the 2 statistically insignificant events.

                not at all a great analogy, but it was yours to begin with.

                btw, i do understand that there is risk in everything. even aspirin which has been given billions of times has potentially fatal effects. and yes, i personally accepted the vaccines with their associated risks.

                  was that rhetorical? i think my non-medically trained friend called it right back in 2020: everyone is gonna get this bug multiple times and nearly everyone will survive and build a type of immunity but not one that will prevent the disease 100%--kinda like the cold.

                  i just tested negative myself after 5 days of being positive.

                    Yes it was rhetorical, to Evan, and represents a genuine lack of precision in biological systems, including whatever Uber-specific slice of biology that he unconditionally worships as correct.

                    I think your friend is correct, along with “the virus is gonna virus”, and the mathematical issue of “big-ass numbers times tiny-ass numbers”.

                    ”Kinda like the [common] cold”…Indeed.

                      No.

                      What Boeing did was panic and create a solution by taking a safe airframe and contorting it into filling a role for which it was not intended. Part of that contortion was conspiratorial and key to that conspiracy was the internalisation of the oversight and certification agency. It all relied upon corruption and zero transparency.

                      mRNA was the A320 NEO.

                        They are quite clearly protecting him. He’s 79 and, so far, doing fine (despite the BA.5 rebound)

                        Congratulations, but watch for the rebound (keep testing for a few days). You could still be contagious.

                        Every time any of gets the virus, it’s another opportunity for it to mutate into something more resistant to the vaccines or treatments. The virus is gonna virus a lot quicker if we don’t do our part to slow it down. It’s that simple.

                          Because people didn't give a shit! More important to go to Walmart than stay home. The saddest thing about it is, history repeats itself and some of the people don't learn from it.

                            There is nothing intrinsically wrong with that, as I am certain the MAX will show with it's post-MCAS 2.0 safety record.
                            It is called repurposing.

                            Now, if instead of doing it the right engineering way, it is done in a criminal way, then there is a lot wrong with that, regardless of whether it is a repurposed old design or a brand new purpose-specific design.

                              There is something wrong with that, regardless of what the MAX will show with its post-death trap safety record.

                              Repurposing must be restricted to things that do not exceed the parameters of the core design under which the thing was certified as safe. Otherwise, it needs to be entirely re-certified as a different thing by a truly independent oversight agency. Had that been the case with the MAX, the MAX wouldn’t exist, and we would be even safer with the new protected FBW 797.

                              mRNA is the 797.
