We are getting our 2nd booster this morning.

Encouraging news! Moderna's first bivalent booster vaccine candidate, mRNA-1273.211, demonstrated superior neutralizing titers compared to mRNA-1273 against ALL variants of concern INCLUDING Omicron! Superiority continued six months after administration. Let’s talk about that!🧵

^^It’s comforting to know that the VP is experiencing no symptoms thus far. With the removal of masks, unfortunately I felt like it was only a matter of time, especially since just about everyone in her immediate circle was getting infected.

 

At least he has vowed to get vaccinated now. He is very fortunate to have survived, likely because he was admitted to his area hospital at a time of lower caseloads when staff weren’t so overburdened that they had to ration care. Had he been admitted a week or two later, who knows what the outcome would have been?

I had to get a source and CNN reported on the declaration and spoke to a doctor who disagrees with this assessment.

Basically though, Fauci is saying that this is solely for the United States, not the rest of the world (weird, given how viruses travel, neither do viruses respect borders). 
Also, what’s not being said is that COVID-19 has gone from the pandemic stage to the endemic stage, and since the numbers are climbing, we’ll have to watch to see if the death rates also climb since hospitalizations and death usually lag.

Anyway, here’s the link:

Here we go again.

Governments easily find tens of billions of dollars for weapons but struggle to find a billion or two to manage and contain a global pandemic. Shameful. https://t.co/gU1JXL08ox

What's even more shameful is seeing a billionaire try and buy a social media platform instead of using that money, which they don't need, to manage a pandemic or solve global warming, etc.

Oh, that’s also shameful.
Musk came from and benefited from racist apartheid policies in South Africa and he runs Tesla as his own personal apartheid fiefdom, so I don’t think he can be shamed about his misuse and abuse of his wealth and privilege. It’s basically left to outside forces to stop him, which doesn’t look too promising at the moment.

It's f*cked up. Genuinely is.

Greed and waste comes in all forms, in all industries, sadly.
