That is unfortunate! Were they hospitalized? Are any of these people on respirators? One made it back to work, thank God, but what about the rest? Guess that is not really newsworthy, I suppose.


Amazing!

Positively, the first injection for Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine happened on 7/27/20. Dr. Fauci said that emerging data from this trial should be available in November or December, and stated that despite the speed of the development, “there is no compromise at all with regard to safety or scientific integrity.” Previously, Moderna said it will be able to deliver “approximately 500 million doses per year, and possibly up to 1 billion doses per year” starting in 2021.

That’s the road out of this mess . Up to 1/3 of the American public will refuse this . But , at that point it becomes the personal choice to protect yourself or spin the biological roulette wheel and take your chances. Many more will die after the vaccine is available sadly until folks start understanding that this virus is no joke in the elderly . Children. , on the other hand really are lowest priority to vaccinate because they have almost no complications despite the hype .
