Not much in the way of useful research, so just doing an interim post on a few studies.
Our economy is blessed with high inflation and low growth, a recipe for a satisfied electorate. Oh wait, maybe it is supposed to be the other way around.
Another sign of waning benefit of vax and boosters in regard to death is the proportion of LTC deaths and of deaths over age 75.
Even after the crash in health care IPOs, there is still too much capital sloshing around and looking for a place to be wasted. Aledade raised an astounding $125 million to support its business of helping independent physician practices enter into "value-based" purchasing arrangements with payers. This firm has raised over $4oo billion in capital and is valued at billions of dollars, all for providing a commodity service in a declining market--the independent physician. Where has it all gone and how will investors ever see a return on it? The greater fool theory is the big hope in most cases. The fools were the public for a few years, but that is over now until the memory of these debacles fades, which it usually does pretty quickly.

On and on it goes, and so do the research summaries.
Another look at the week-over-week analysis shows uncertainty over direction of epidemic.
The epidemic winds own with a very low rate of actual case detection, but also a very low rate of any serious disease. Let’s let it go.
The latest in the regular series showing the age distribution of all events during the epidemic.
The final age group, everyone over age 65, where boosters show continuing benefit.
On to the middle aged group for our breakthrough event analysis.
On to the 118 to 49 age group, where there appears to be some remaining benefit of vax in preventing hospitalization.
The next age group for the detailed breakthrough analysis is the 12-17 year-olds.
