If they are first to market, the government will buy it and distribute it, but the program did not contribute to its development. It's just patently false. |

Trump said “hopefully within weeks” for the vaccine to be ready. I’m thinking that it will be January

They took all the financial risk. Developed in Germany. We just said if your vaccine is the real deal and we approve it for public use, we want to buy 100 million doses. If it’s the real deal with a 90% effective rate, it will sell like hot cakes globally.

Here's how the vaccine schedule would work:
Day 0: Get your first shot Day 21: Get your second shot Day 28: Where Pfizer has done their interim analysis on protection Day 28 after injection is where you get the claimed (not yet verified) protection level from. It's important to understand that you will not be immune immediately after getting the first injection (and the degree of protection at those snapshots in time is either not known or hasn't been released). As a comparison, the body takes about 14 days to mount a full protective immune response from the flu vaccine. So if I get a shot today and get exposed on Sunday and come down with influenza, it doesn't mean I the shot gave me the flu (it can't). That's where a lot of the misunderstanding of "I got a flu shot and then got the flu" comes from. Also, we need to think about this in terms of scale. Not everyone will get this initially, and immunity will not be instantaneous. Thus, we will still need mitigation strategies for several more months (masks, distancing, handwashing). Be patient. |

Just also be aware that any adverse reactions will be blown the **** up for clicks/attention before direct connections to the vaccine in question can be determined. Might be a good time to mute all of your anti-vax friends/family on social media, although you probably should have done that years ago.

So the JoCo Board of Commissioners decided Covid would kill you after 10:00pm. Then they decided no, it's really 11:00pm. Then they decided no, it's 12:00am. Then they went back to 11:00pm.
They decided to remove the capacity issues from restaurants and bars, I think, as long as they close by 11:00pm. Because it's safer for them to close and people to go party elsewhere without masks and what not than in the bars and restaurants which the county had 0 data to say was the reason things were bad. Then the county Doctor said the initial desire of "50 people" was "not based on science" but it was a number they thought was good. One Nazi commissioner was mad because they didn't suggest 10 people and she wants neighbors ratting out neighbors to the DA. |

While restrictions and lock downs are being imposed on people and businesses across the country...
Mayor of Chicago celebrates with 1,000's in the streets over elections Mayor of D.C. exempts herself from her own quarantine rules Nancy Pelosi schedules lavish Thanksgiving dinner for new Democrats Gov of CA attends indoor birthday party with family Not being political but why again do you think people are a but reluctant to believe things? If the people issuing these orders don't lead by example then WTF should anyone listen to them? |

I have also been told, unofficially of course, my Wife, Son and at least one co-worker have all been added to the Covid positive list. Not because they tested positive because none of them took a test. But because they were "exposed" to me while I had Covid.
Food for thought.... |
