so let's imagine what this journalist expected to happen to the shoes really did happen, and mulched up pieces of metal and batteries from the trackers really ended up in playgrounds intended to provide a soft and safe surface to play on.

maybe the journalism is good, but it poses danger to kids getting cut and being exposed to battery chemicals.

also if i ran a playground surface mulching service i would have a metal detectors for safety reasons and not allow these shoes to be mulched, which could be what actually happened.

No passcode is possible. I have it configured that way for a device I have mounted on the wall at home. But apple makes it difficult to do so, as in a lot of extra steps, warnings and reminders, not just initially but every single update too. They've made it inconvenient intentionally, which is good.

the efficacy measured you are quoting is not the efficacy of preventing infection altogether. those figures are the efficacy of preventing only the subcategory of severe infection. you'll have to read the technical clinical trial studies published for that distinction, though as many papers and media omit that distinction.

it's known well in the countries that have nasal vaccines already. one can only speculate about the united states.

i can see benefits to touting 94+% efficacy for the intramuscular vaccines (with the fine print that efficacy is only measuring reduction of severe infection), because it does help prevent hospitalizations and deaths. i think it would be difficult to convince a population to vaccinate while saying it doesn't prevent infection.

probably. the breakthrough rate was through the roof, and pfizer/moderna cancelled their final phase testing to measure breakthrough rate (i don't have a source beyond a friend that was in the trial that got notified of its cancellation).

but now we know why the breakthrough rate for injected vaccinated is so high https://www.nature.com/articles/s41385-022-00517-8

in short, nasal vaccination that actually trains the mucosal immune system has the potential to actually prevent infections, as the mucosal immune system is the first line of defense. the intramuscular shots have no chance to prevent infection.
