a great demo of log-scale graphing
The story of BigPharmia and Novaxia, from Oliver Johnson on Twitter, a nice demo of how log-scale graphs can make interesting patterns in the data clearer

We should shift our focus from covid-19 mortality to morbidity, particularly in children
BMJ op-ed from Karl Friston and Anthony Costello:
The UK is an outlier by allowing children to remain unvaccinated at a time when lifting of restrictions will increase covid-19 infection rates. We have heard much about how vaccination is breaking — or weakening — the link between SARS-CoV-2 and the clinical manifestations of covid-19. We consider the nature of this link from the perspective of quantitative modelling — and what it means for risks following exposure to the virus. In brief, it suggests we should shift our focus from mortality to morbidity, particularly in children.
