mRNA vaccines are a miracle which are revolutionizing vaccines. As well as Covid they are making possible the first truly effective malaria vaccine, a disease that kills over 400,000 a year. Instead of having to guess over six months ahead which strains will be prevalent in order to produce a flu vaccine, they will be able to tailor one to the actual prevalent strains because the vaccines can be changed and produced so quickly. Look for consistent 80% effective flu vaccines in future instead of anywhere from 20% to 60% depending on how much they guessed right six months before.

Imperial has failed, there is only one country that still uses it. How do you define a foot then? What is the constant you use to make sure it doesn't change?

They may have smaller market but they wont starve in the dark.

The metre itself hasn't changed, it just uses a different constant.

A vacuum is a vacuum. A vacuum is the absence of a medium.

You cherry pick numbers from developed countries that make up 17% of the worlds population and call it science. As per my last post, over 1/3 of Florida covid hospitalizations are now under 50. There is a lot more to Covid than just death and complete recovery. At this point we don't even know what complete recovery is or whether there is such a thing.

They haven't benefited, many have been driven out of cities by the cost of real estate. City folks would starve in the dark but for rural folks.

Life is Peachy in DeathSantis Land. Florida accounts for nearly one out of every four new infections and hospitalizations in the country, according to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The spike in admissions means more and more COVID-19 patients require hospitalization. As of July 28, Florida hospitals were treating 8,816 infected patients — more than at any point since the first wave of infections in July 2020. Last winter, over 60 percent of hospital admissions were patients aged 60 and over. Now they make up less than 45 percent of new hospital admissions. Instead, it is adults in their 20s to 40s who are making up an increasingly large share of admissions in the fourth wave. Last winter, less than 15 percent of admissions were young adults. Now over one-third of the hospitalized are adults under 50. No longer is this a pandemic affecting mostly Florida seniors or those with pre-existing conditions. Now it is younger, healthier, unvaccinated adults who are falling ill. New Florida infections and hospitalizations are being driven by adults in their 20s to 40s, state data shows. They account for 53 percent of infections and about 34 percent of hospitalizations.

Bummer. That which doesn't adapt becomes extinct.

The speed of light is not subject to change and neither is a vacuum. Have you had to buy a new ruler or tape measure? How is a foot defined? I'll tell ya. Since 1959, one foot is defined as 0.3048 metres.
