Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Depois que a mulher teve direito ao voto, foi para o mercado de trabalho ( claro, teve que pedir licença ao marido), mas foi, conseguiu ocupar espaços antes que só era destinados aos homens, e tem travado uma luta ferrenha pela concretização dos seus direitos ( do lar para o ler), essa mulher vem procurando se desvincular de ideias retrógradas a respeito de si, da sua capacidade de pensar que perdurou há séculos. Essa capa de autoridade masculina sobre suas ideias e comportamento não cabe diante de tantas mudanças que estamos vivendo. Já foi- se o tempo em que a mulher ficava confinada em casa, onde propriedade e vida era do marido. Hoje a mulher pode tudo, e não há nada de errado pensar dessa maneira. Acredito que a mulher precisa ter acesso a muitas outras oportunidades para que de fato, ela consiga viver e expressar o que pensa publicamente…

George Orwell In 2023!

Filosofa's Word

I had fully intended to watch Sarah Sanders’ response to President Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday night, but I was unable to watch more than about the first three or four minutes, by which time I wanted to punch her face through my laptop screen!  My first thought upon listening to her, watching her, was “Orwellian”.  So, I turned her off and went on about other things.  From what little I did see, and from what others have written about her speech, I get the impression that she and I either live in two completely different universes, or that our brains are wired so differently that one of us might just be an alien from another planet!

I think that Paul Krugman, writing for the New York Times, summed it up best of all the views I’ve read thus far …

Long-term effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against infections, hospitalisations, and mortality in adults: findings from a rapid living systematic evidence synthesis and meta-analysis up to December, 2022 – The Lancet Respiratory Medicine

For booster doses, which covered mostly omicron studies, vaccine effectiveness at baseline was 70% (56–80) against infections and 89% (82–93) against hospitalisations, and reduced to 43% (14–62) against infections and 71% (51–83) against hospitalisations at 112 days or later. Not enough studies were available to report on booster vaccine effectiveness against mortality. Interpretation Our analyses indicate that vaccine effectiveness generally decreases over time against SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalisations, and mortality. The baseline vaccine effectiveness levels for the omicron variant were notably lower than for other variants. Therefore, other preventive measures (eg, face-mask wearing and physical distancing) might be necessary to manage the pandemic in the long term.
