What difference does that make??? They were still handed over to our current President...and things are still a MESS. HE was the one who said he would eliminate COVID. What was good for President Trump should be good for President Biden, right? Or has your TDS turned your Cognitive Dissonance into a Wrecking Ball???

qote: Covid-19 has now killed as many Americans as the 1918-19 flu pandemic – more than 675,000.

The US population a century ago was just one-third of what it is today, meaning the flu cut a much bigger, more lethal swath through the country. But the Covid-19 crisis is by any measure a colossal tragedy in its own right, especially given the incredible advances in scientific knowledge since then and the failure to take maximum advantage of the vaccines available this time.

“Big pockets of American society – and, worse, their leaders – have thrown this away,” said Dr Howard Markel a medical historian at the University of Michigan.

Winter may bring a new surge, with the University of Washington’s influential model projecting an additional 100,000 or so Americans will die of Covid-19 by 1 January, which would bring the overall US toll to 776,000.

Better hide under your bed, zil. It's coming to getcha

That's not what your boy Biden and his sidekick Harris were saying on the campaign trail (along with your beloved hero EX-Governor Cuomo).

They were all telling me to doubt the safety of the vaccine because Trump was mixing it himself in the basement of the White House.

So I'm going to believe in Biden, Harris and Cuomo and reject your misinformation.

Does Zil actually have his own belief system, or is he a pod person like Mostie pimping out the talking points. I would have thought a doctor would have more self respect.

president Trump guaranteed multi-million doses in sales and lowered some of the restrictions for provisional approval. Anyway, most of the dimwit 'experts' said it would take years ... like the HIV vaccine.

Yes, but if not for TRUMP fast-tracking, we might not them yet.
And fact is, Biden inherited it and dropped the ball.

New Study (currently in preprint) conducted by the University of Ottawa looking at the link between mRNA Covid Vaccination and Myocarditis --

This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [what does this mean?]. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Introduction Several case reports or small series have suggested a possible link between mRNA COVID vaccines and the subsequent development of myocarditis and pericarditis. This study is a prospective collection and review of all cases with a myocarditis/pericarditis diagnosis over a 2-month period at an academic medical center.

Methods Prospective case series from 1st June 2021 until 31st July 2021. Patients were identified by admission and discharge diagnoses which included myocarditis or pericarditis. Inclusion criteria: in receipt of mRNA vaccine within one month prior to presentation; The CMR protocol included cine imaging, native T1 and T2 mapping, late gadolinium enhancement and post contrast T1 mapping. All CMR studies were read in consensus by two experienced readers. Diagnosis was based on clinical presentation, ECG/echo findings and serial troponins and was confirmed in each case by CMR. Incidence was estimated from total doses of mRNA vaccine administered in the Ottawa region for the matching time-period. This data was obtained from the Public Health Agency of Ottawa.

Results 32 patients were identified over the period of interest. Eighteen patients were diagnosed with myocarditis; 12 with myopericarditis; and 2 with pericarditis alone. The median age was 33 years (18-65 years). The sex ratio was 2 females to 29 males. In 5 cases, symptoms developed after only a single dose of mRNA vaccine. In 27 patients, symptoms developed after their second dose of. Median time between vaccine dose and symptoms was 1.5 days (1-26 days). Chest pain was the commonest symptom, but many others were reported. Non-syncopal non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was seen in only a single case. Median LV ejection fraction (EF) was 57% (44-66%). Nine patients had an LVEF below the normal threshold of 55%. Incidence of myopericarditis overall was approximately 10 cases for every 10,000 inoculations.

Summary and Conclusions This is the largest series in the literature to clearly relate the temporal relationship between mRNA COVID vaccination, symptoms and CMR findings. In most patients, symptom onset began within the first few days after vaccination with corresponding abnormalities in biomarkers and on ECG. Cardiac MRI confirmed acute myocardial and pericardial changes with the presence of edema demonstrated with both tissue mapping and late gadolinium enhancement. Symptoms settled quickly with standard therapy and patients were discharged within a few days. No major adverse cardiac events and no significant arrythmias were noted during inpatient stay. Further follow up will be required to ascertain the longer-term outcomes of this patient group.

Cohort as a proportion of all COVID-19 doses of mRNA vaccine administered locally over the same timeframe

There were 15,997 doses of Moderna vaccine, and 16,382 doses of Pfizer vaccine administered over the study period, for a total of 32,379 doses. Note that these numbers represent a mixture of first and second doses. Therefore, if our cohort captured all cases in the Ottawa area, then the incidence of myocarditis would be 0.1% of all vaccine doses (32 cases/32,379 doses x 100), or 10 cases of myocarditis for every 10,000 doses of vaccine.

If the numbers from the study (10 cases of myocarditis for every 10,000 doses of vaccine) were to hold up across large samples:

If 300 million people in the US were to get vaccinated at 2 does each:

At 600 million doses:

The result would be 600,000 cases of myocarditis.

"Pair with trunk 'full of KFC' arrested while trying to enter locked-down Auckland, where restaurants remain shut"

"Upon seeing the officers, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off before eventually pulling over, the statement said. When the car was searched, police found a large quantity of KFC, more than NZ$100,000 ($70,000) in cash, and "empty ounce bags."

Police photos show at least three buckets of chicken, about 10 cups of coleslaw, a large package of fries, and four large bags containing other KFC items.
The two men, ages 23 and 30, were traveling to Auckland from Hamilton, about 75 miles south of the city, police said.

The pair will appear in court for charges of breaching New Zealand's Health Order, police said, adding "further charges are likely."

India Says No to Pfizer and Moderna --

By Neha Arora and Krishna N. Das, Aftab Ahmed | September 21, 20216:12 AM PDT
Reported by REUTERS:
https://www.reuters.com/world/india/...es-2021-09-21/

NEW DELHI, Sept 21 (Reuters) - India's government will not buy COVID-19 shots from Pfizer (PFE.N)/BioNTech (22UAy.DE) and Moderna (MRNA.O), three government sources told Reuters, mainly because domestic output of more affordable and easier-to-store vaccines has jumped.

That essentially means the globally popular vaccines, which their makers have pledged not to sell to private parties during the pandemic, will not be available for now in the world's two most populous countries - China and India.

The Indian government has also declined to meet the U.S. companies' requests for legal protection over any side-effects from the use of their shots, which are currently made only in the United States or Europe, two of the sources said.

No company has received such protection in India.

"Earlier, there was a shortage, there was a need," said one of the sources, referring to India's appeal to the companies in April for vaccines when infections exploded and shots were in short supply.

"Their price will be high. Why should we take on their conditions?"

A second source said: "The government will not buy Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. They are free to have private tie-ups after necessary regulatory clearances. But sovereign indemnity is clearly something we can't give".

Why would they go out of business when I can overpay via Grubhub and have it delivered to my front door?

Covid does it's upside.
I was notified this morning that the hospital is putting a freeze on all elective and screening procedures effective 10/1/21.

So my colonoscopy scheduled for 10/6 is canceled!
