It seems that could be true, but probably nobody knows yet for sure at this point. I had a mild case, with mostly GI problems and serious muscle pain. Respiratory problems appeared only about 3 weeks after initial symptoms. I still have trouble breathing and have immune system problems more than two months after initial symptoms, but I’m happy there weren’t more serious complications.

Do you know if it’s like here, where the protests against COVID-related restrictions are masterminded and bankrolled by rich a-holes? Or is it more “natural” over there, with regular folks just getting fed up and organizing on social media?

“Overall, we’re failing, because the objective is to immunize.”

“How can you have discovered two vaccines, developed them all the way to approval, manufacture, and distribute with 99.9 percent precision 14 million doses to 14,000 sites and it’s labeled as ‘There is no plan’?” he asked.

I don’t think I’m the one who doesn’t understand.

MMR vaccine reduces risk of Covid-19 symptoms says a study conducted by the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Study shows that general immunity can increase with the use of the vaccine, indicating that there is a 54% reduction in the chance of someone infected with coronavirus developing Covid-19 symptoms.

Another milestone.

Across the world, more than one hundred million people have now contracted the virus. And this is going to be an underestimate, due to the number of people who were never tested.

The Bakers were both charged under the territory’s Civil Emergency Measures Act, which carries a maximum fine of C$500 ($392) plus a C$75 surcharge, six months in jail, or both.

How much money can I get betting on whether they receive any jail time, or if they just have to pay $600! Canadian.

“We’re losing sleep over this, even as we speak,” said Garcia, the county’s chief medical officer. “At what point do you either start telling people, ‘I can’t guarantee you a second dose,’ or start coming up with an alternative strategy?”

Doug Ducey to the rescue!

Ducey’s order also would allow the state to take back vaccine doses from entities that are not using them fast enough.

Or whatever the opposite of that is.

Now that I got your attention, I have something to ask. How bad are the reactions people with penicillin allergies had to the Moderna & Phizer vaccines? It’s an issue my father and I are concerned about. I heard the complication rates are like 2.5 cases out of an million. Do you think the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will have a similar issue for folks with that allergy?
