#Statistics rant follows - feel free to tune out.
The Vaccine Efficacy scale is one of the silliest scales in the whole #epidemiology. Formally it is just 1 - RR (relative risk), and while the RR is a personal fav of mine when comparing event rates, the 1 - RR is an idiotic Frankestein for the following reasons ....
This is really great work. #Epidemiology

Professionals of Fedi!
What are your suggested ways to spend "Professional Development" funds for someone who has a deadline to spend them? The funds must be used specifically for career growth opportunities.
I'm asking on behalf of someone in the Public Health field. Epidemiology, Data Science, etc are all relevant as well. If you have book recommendations, they'll take those too!

As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/measles-canada-americas-paho-who-elimination-status/

para los bilingües y poliglotas y glosolálogos que me siguen:
#measles = SARAMPIÓN
#sarampión ≠ VARICELA
#varicela = chicken pox
ahora tengo que repasar las diferencias entre la sarampión y la varicela porque no tengo ni puta idea.
a la verdad que no me acuerdo y no creo que haya habido sarampión en Puerto Rico cuando era niña; aunque siempre ha habido varicela. hasta a mi hijo mayor le dio varicela aquí en #nyc pero no al menor.
