Not one, but that has little to do with whether it's true and everything to do with self-preservation.

With regards to your Average Joe definition, here are some actual definitions, not Wikipedia word salads:

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/average-joe
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/average-joe
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/average+joe
Let me make this easy for you. @ExGingi and I are the only two in a lineup. Pick a random person to pick out the closest to an Average Joe? That was a rhetorical question.
I am done here as I already forgot what the original issue was.  :)

Was trying to figure out how I got pulled into here, and came up with the following question: is a normal Joe the same as the average Joe?

In my dictionary Normal is a four letter word. Highly offended if anyone dare call me that.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I'll help you out: questions about the vaccines are being posed by regular, average people. Mistruths, conspiracies, and quackery are being bought by those same regular, normal, average people. Call them "Average Joes" and "Plain Janes" or Steve and Sarah or whatever you want, the point remains the same.

You missed the point. Just because you or I think they are average Joe's does not make it so.

Ah the famous “no true average Joe” fallacy :)

Pfizer released data from clinical trial for ages 5-11, only 2268 participants (1/3 of which got a placebo). It hasn’t been published or peer reviewed yet, but EUA approval might come as soon as October.

Any of you here going to vaccinate your 5-11 y/o kids as soon as EUA approval is issued? Did Israel say what they plan on doing for children aged 5-11?

Sounds like Israel is going to follow FDA EUA - and push it strong. My understanding of the new rules coming into effect next Sunday is tav yarok is only 6 months from last vaccine or PCR+ test (and positive serological test is meaningless)
Not sure what I plan to do.

One of the most prominent anti-COVID-vax doctors in Brooklyn has reversed his stance and is now actively encouraging patients to take the vaccine.

Chief among his reasons for reversal is that hospitals are refusing monoclonal treatment to the unvaccinated. Previously he believed that monoclonal antibodies carried less risk with similar reward, but the equation has now changed.

Right or wrong, it appears hospitals offering better service to the vaccinated has caused more people to become vaccinated.

...hospitals offering better service to the vaccinated has caused more people to become vaccinated.

Has anyone been able to corroborate this?

BH, some sanity in the process. Would have been a really scary precedent otherwise.

I don't understand the Havah Amina. Why would they approve something that wasn't tested to work, especially when a 2 dose version didn't work. If there was a true emergency, I would kind of understand, but with the risk level to under 5 year olds so low, it would be a real head scratcher and be a real blotch on the FDA's reputation.

It really made me angry. Glad to see saner heads prevailing.

The tides are turning globally on COVID, but domestically the vaccine wars will cause mandates and proof-of-vaccination requirements to linger for as long as the Democrats can prolong them, even as they fade in other countries.
