Covid - 19

[DawgyNWindow]

So, we trust a vaccine before it has gone through the proper channels for approval which have been the standard for how long? But we aren’t supposed to trust data collected on alternate treatments because the information was released before it went through the proper channels for approval?

I think we just time warped into the double standard thread.

He can't see that because MSNBC hasn't given him that talking point yet. They aren't talking about COVID at the border, either....so he is blissfully unaware of that as well.

Unlike you guys, I don’t waste my time following political news outlets.

An emergency authorization isn’t a small hurdle. The alternative was to wait 2 years for approval and then the whole vaccine would not have been in time for the vast majority of people.

It is irresponsible and poor judgment not to get the vaccine. It isn’t a close call when it comes to the risks associated with the vaccine versus not getting it. Those that believe otherwise are consuming way too much radical tight news.

So, how many FDA approved drugs have been pulled from the market at a later date due to harmful side effects or proven to be ineffective?

For vaccines almost never.

How many of the vaccines in the last 20 years were developed and approved in 1 year or less?

Yep, this is the point that is being missed.

We had a president that thought out of the box, a "why not" kind of guy that was willing to work with private companies and remove government obstacles to SOLVE problems....fast. We are back to the clerical bureaucrats running the show.

That is precisely why I bought MRNA stock over a year ago and it is about to be a 9-bagger.

Glad you are making some money off the pandemic.

I hope to make even more money off of cancer. mRNA vaccines as personalized immune-oncology treatments is promising.

Capitalism is all about making money off of solving problems.

I have made a small fortune on "vice stocks" like Altria (MO), a cigarette maker. I figure stupid people are gonna smoke, so hell! I might as well profit from it.

This is one area where I agree with Goosey. My advice to everyone, if you're not already investing in the stock market, come on in, the water is fine!

Actually the work began in 2002 with the SARS mess -

Just a convenient piece of information that doesn't fit the narrative

Just like the push in the early 50's to develop an adequate polio vaccine - was the impetus and $$$ from higher ups was in place one was brought to the public in less than 36 months....

"Bat Woman" issues a warning...

Top Chinese Virologist Known as 'Bat Woman' Warns New COVID Variants Will Keep Emerging (newsweek.com)

Acadian Ambulance, which has been assisting in Orleans Parish for the past 2 weeks, is now saying it has run out of places to take covid patients in the New Orleans metro area.

Last night, St. Tammany Parish hospital had patients sitting on sidewalks outside the emergency room, as there was no room in any of their waiting areas.

Louisiana has only a handful of ICU beds available in the entire state. Arkansas is in the same boat. Fewer than 10 available in the state.

[The Historian]

Since July 26 Louisiana has gone from 1,390 covid patients in hospitals to nearly 3,000 today. I am assuming we'll top 3,000 in the next few days.

The problem is there is no room left in hospitals. There is no such thing as going to 4,000.

At some point this week alternative facilities for covid patients will have to be opened if this doesn't slow way down. The Convention Center in New Orleans, perhaps the River Center in Baton Rouge, the Cajundome in Lafayette.

Another leftists lie that misrepresents the statistics. Yes, record numbers of children with china virus because very few were admitted earlier (in 2020) Key words are "record numbers" that could be from 6 to 12 or 300 to 325 or 5000 to 5001.

Whether it's 50 or 5,000 it really doesn't matter at this point. There hasn't been a pediatric hospital bed available in the entire state of Louisiana since last Wednesday. The same is true for the Houston metropolitan area.
