Stock market is reacting very positively to this vaccine. The journal paper and health analysts consider immune response to be significant after booster and side effects relatively minor in all participants. Yet here you're quoting a Twitter posts that is brought to the top of the discussion on HN despite being not a primary or secondary, but a tertiary source.

While the paper and analysts are certainly good signs, can we say the same for the stock market? I thought the last little while was proof that it's fairly detached from real world conditions. As of late it seems to be responding to optimism more than anything concrete.

What in Gods name does the Stock market have to do with anything? This is peoples lives we are talking about, not $company share price.

The stock market should be considered because of why?

Because some people have this idea that the stock market is able to perfectly understand risk in all situations to the point that it can be used to make decisions itself.

I’m not sure what to say here other then. A fool and their money will soon be parted. I personally don’t know anyone that holds that opinion as you stated above .

If you honestly believe that, I certainly hope you’re not actively trading the market!

In many cases, that's correct - but not when the issue is emotional and outside the normal investor field of expertise.

Because of your use of the words "some people" and "perfectly" I'm reading your comment as sarcasm.

Because it makes us a lot of money.
