Wow, those Covid vaccinations are pretty expensive if you're young and healthy and want to stay that way eh?
Did it anyway. Suppose I should be glad I still count as young.
Thanks for the profiteering Pfizer, thanks for nothing NHS.

RFKJr and one of his ACIP picks, Robert Malone,
appear to be getting ready to restrict the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) immunizations
(nirsevimab and clesrovimab)
saying there is a vast cover up of vaccine safety data.
"You talk a lot about how unsafe it is to vaccinate children.
Do you know how unsafe it is to not vaccinate them?"

Sensitivity analysis of an epidemic model with a mass vaccination program of a homogeneous population
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the rapid development of vaccines and the implementation of mass vaccination programs around the world. However, many hesitated to take the vaccine due to concerns about its effectiveness. By looking at an ordinary differential equation (ODE) model of disease spread that incorporates a mass vaccination program, this study aims to determine the sensitivity of the cumulative count of infected individuals ($W$) and the cumulative death count ($D$) to the following mode…

PagedEviction: Structured Block-wise KV Cache Pruning for Efficient Large Language Model Inference
KV caching significantly improves the efficiency of Large Language Model (LLM) inference by storing attention states from previously processed tokens, enabling faster generation of subsequent tokens. However, as sequence length increases, the KV cache quickly becomes a major memory bottleneck. To address this, we propose PagedEviction, a novel fine-grained, structured KV cache pruning strategy that enhances the memory efficiency of vLLM's PagedAttention. Unlike existing approaches that rely on …

Discovery of diffuse gamma-ray emission in the vicinity of G172.8+1.5: An old supernova remnant with different turbulence properties
We report the detection of high-energy $γ$-ray emission in the vicinity of G172.8+1.5, which is debated as a Supernova remnant (SNR) or an ionized hydrogen (H$_{\rm{II}}$) region. Using 16-yr Pass 8 data from Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT), we found the GeV emission can be described by two extended sources with different photon spectra. Among them, the much more extended $γ$-ray source SrcA with a Power-law spectrum is spatially coincident with a giant neutral Hydrogen shell structure…
