In a BLACK HOLE!
England is educated based.
I believe science and biological based companies will find a vaccine to benefit the “pale blue dot” we inhabit!

Yep, looks like covid killed off most of the vulnerable people in the first waves.

That is, IMO, far more of a conclusion than this data supports.
Yeah, but in the US, EVERYONE got a check for $1200 - whether they needed it or not! And our government wants to give us another $600! Almost too exciting.*
(*Non-partisan disclaimer: the above is an exaggeration intended for darkly comic effect. In fact, the first US relief bill also included enhanced unemployment benefits and other measures that helped stave off the worst economic effects of the pandemic and our less restrictive policies to prevent its spread. There's still a chance that the legislature will reject the $600 proopsal and compromise on more meaningful aid to get us through what is shaping up to be a truly horrific winter.)
It's very likely. There are still questions over the duration of immunity and whether vaccinated individuals can spread the virus, but there's we couldn't know the answers at this point, and there's every reason for high hopes. The US is also expected to begin vaccinations next week. We just have to hold on a little longer.

Yeah, that $130/mo went a “loooong” way (...not)

We dont have a great track record when it comes to rushing pharmaceuticals .. i certainly wouldnt take it..
There really is no tellings whats the long term effects are, could well be worse than corona...
Possibly affecting future generations...
Ill take my chance with nature instead of man...
We like to think we are smart...
But in reality we are likely as blind as the Egyptians drilling holes in heads to let headaches out...
We still dig shit out the ground to burn for power..
We are a primitive race of arrogant, ignorant morons...
We know nothing in the big picture, yet we think we are god...
Our own arrogance will likely be the end of us..
And good riddens i say...
Hopefully the next highly evolved dominant species wont destroy the only place they have to live, caus of some paper money shit that we made up....
Sorry jus dabbed...
@Kellya86, Dang, dont know that its coming from the same place ?
On an existential level there will always be a level of dumbness that gets proclaimed through arrogance.
Just from our short pm's & reading your posts it's clearly easy to see your a good Guy
Just a conversational question, when you say we are a primitive race to whom or what is a comparison being made ? If its an idea thats fine just curious & killing time before I leave.

Primitive by our own measure...
Example.. we can synthesise petrol from the elements in everyday normal air...
Yet we still drill for oil... because we cant afford to make it from air.. caus we invented money.. how stupid is that..
In relation to science/medicine, we know we are still primitive. We still cant cure a cold or flu.. getting hammered by cancer and we dont know why. We understand sod all about the brain really. Dementia cases on the up. There are still many unexplained biological processes that occur within us.. we cant even understand ourselves, let alone the universe..
I think thats primitive.. in the big picture.. that we cannot yet see...
Media would have us believe we are a futuristic scifi race, but we are still so so far from that...
I jus feel we are risking future generations health and genetics by messing with shit dont yet fully understand...
But i suppose thats how we make progress...

Always in search of the perfect vaporizer
I plan on eventually taking the vaccine ( I think). I’m going to talk with my doctor as well. I took the flu shot in September and 5 days later I came down with Bells Palsey. I think there was a connection, that’s just my opinion. I’ve only had a few flu shots in the past. I’ve read where very few people have gotten Bells Palsey after the Covid shot in the trials. Most of the time folks get over bells Palsey. You have to risk the benefits over the negatives. I figure doctors and science can help me with that. I am waiting and watching though.
I am too young to remember polio. The vaccine was a godsend. I’m not negative on vaccines. My dad was in the military- had to get my share of vaccines as a kid. I do remember getting the polio vaccine drink in a little paper cup.
I really enjoy @Disrupt posts in this thread. Some very useful information and he knows what he’s talking about - unlike myself when it comes to science.

Thanks! (Is there no embarrassed emoji?) Don't trust strangers on the internet! Try to always admit error, at least.
Any conceivably relevant experience is at least fifteen years old. Worked with RNA in grad school. Maybe a little at subsequent lab gig, don't recall.
As it happens, just looked up the ingredients of Pfizer's vaccine.
From USA Today:
'Nothing too surprising there': Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine ingredients are pretty standard, experts say
The people at risk for anaphylaxes would have been excluded from test participants, so it's not surprising that it's being observed at very low rates. Because it's a new technology, something unforeseen can't be entirely ruled out, IMO. Personally, plan to get inoculated ASAP. Even if a significant percentage of people refuse to be inoculated, and the virus persists in the population, the vaccine will be the best defense against being infected yourself.

So, a Canadian feels impelled to dig up a hit piece on a USA President (yes, Trump) from 9 months ago and post it...really?Interesting article from January 2020

Ok, while we are strolling down memory lane, do you remember, at the VERY SAME TIME as this article was published, the red hot outrage and absolute assertions of racism by media and Dem politicians when he closed...mostly...the border to China then Europe? The howling was incredible until later a great many of the VERY SAME voice started howling that he didn't close the borders early enough.
I'm no fan of Trump at all and think that MY country is better off with Biden, well known as both a nice guy and a do nothing idiot.
I do wonder, however, who the media will blame for all of the world's ills once they don't have Trump as a whipping boy.
Personally, I am completely and utterly over the double talk, finger pointing, rampant hypocrisy, and politicization of...well, just about fucking everything...from all sides on this issue and pretty much any other in the political realm in the US.
Now, let me ask....just what useful purpose was served by posting this old hit piece from the left leaning Atlantic....beside signalling virtue and poking some folks in the ribs? Eh?

Never heard of the term hit piece , this article was forwarded to me by a relative and I found it a informative representation of the state of the virus a year ago. Proactive measures at that time may have saved us from some of the damage this pandemic has inflicted on the planet.
