Army to announce vaccine that protects against an array of COVID-19 variants

Hope for the best!

Vaccine scientists are honored as Time magazine's 2021 heroes of the year.  They have turned an once-in-a-lifetime pandemic into a preventable disease.  To those lucky enough to live in rich countries with access to vaccines, it has made all the difference.  According to Commonwealth fund study,  vaccination has prevented over 1 million covid deaths, 10 million hospitalizations and 35 million infections in the US.

Over half of black residents in DC are not fully vaccinated and will be banned from eating in restaurants starting on January 15.

Democrats won’t even let them eat in the rear of the restaurant? 

question will b about the fficacy rate        i do hope its high

question will b about the   efficacy rate           i do hope its high

Solid posts Kelly. 

their most important work may have been done in 2020 though

Yes, these vaccine scientists are very well deserved to be honored.

I too hope this is true.

Not sure why you seem to be trying to turn covid health measures which apply to everyone into a racist comment.

I'll always be amazed at how Democrats in less than a year went from "Georgia is implementing Jim Crow by requiring an ID to vote" to "you must show ID and proof of vaccination in order to participate in society"

If that’s how you feel why were you silent when Democrats were calling ‘voter ID’ racist? 

Solid post, Detox. 

I won't stop now and stoop this low! 

With the high transmisible rate for the vaccinated of both delta and even worse, omicron, segregation of vaccinated and the unvaccinated has no scientific basis at all. 

Ironic, the last political party to endorse segregation is the same political party to do it again.

Maybe the unvaccinated will have to wear something similar to the Star of David to identify them. Seen that before in history, haven't we?

As former NIH director Francis Collins and UK leaders noted, booster-induced immunity is also critical for reducing the risk of severe symptoms, even if a breakthrough infection should occur.

Everybody should get a booster shot.   Omicron might or might not ultimately prove to be as mild as a flu but as long as it spreads freely, that means the next variant is right around the corner, and it's impossible to tell now if the next one might be mild too  or very deadly to the unvaxxed

Or to the vaxed for that matter. Viruses evolve and we are seeing living proof.

That wonderful Iceland data chart (so much pertinent, honest info) shows for the first time that incidences of positive tests for the vaccinated are skyrocketing past the unvaccinated positive test rates per 100,000. All categories are rising including those who have received boosters. And children rates are rising too unfortunately.

The good news, so far, is the vaccinated are six times more likely NOT to be hospitalized. Yet these sky rocketing positive tests for the vaccinated are only 1 week old, hospitalizations would be a couple weeks away for this group. Hoping it's mild!

Let me get that link correct;

https://www.covid.is/data

JUST IN - United States reports more than 325,000 new COVID19 cases, the highest single-day increase during the entire pandemic. Biden repeatedly promised Americans to "shut down the virus." It appears that Joe Biden failed. 

yep   good point        same with the annual flu    need a new flu shot every year

Today it's now 465,670 cases in the U.S. 

New York has broken California's single day case record of 61,969 set back on December 16th, 2020.

New York reports 67,226!!!!!!!

Those "covid worse in Trump country" threads don't age too well, do they?

@UNIMAN

 How about stopping with the red/blue states bullshit? Can you do that for the New Year?

I'll do that with you. Whaddya say??
