the original plan with the pfise and moderna corona vaccinations were to send 2 shots for the people getting them, give the first shot and then give the second within 3 weeks later as a booster shot. they now are deciding to just give as many people the first shot with the ones that they are holding in reserve. when they were doing the polio vaccine they also kept the booster shot in reserve.

to me it looks like there is a panic to get these shots in peoples arms. someone must know something to do this. the numbers have been looking pretty bad lately and they are going to get worse.

"People with no symptoms transmit more than half of all cases of the novel coronavirus, according to a model developed by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Their findings reinforce the importance of following the agency’s guidelines: Regardless of whether you feel ill, wear a mask, wash your hands, stay socially distant and get a coronavirus test. That advice has been a constant refrain in a pandemic responsible for more than 350,000 deaths in the United States.

Fifty-nine percent of all transmission came from people without symptoms, under the model’s baseline scenario. That includes 35 percent of new cases from people who infect others before they show symptoms and 24 percent that come from people who never develop symptoms at all."

Just so we are clear, that’s a model, a prediction. Not any actual data.

The vaccine needs both shots to work.

They can’t even get eligible people to take this vaccine. The only way they are going to hit the numbers they are hoping for is to strap people down against their will and force it on them. (Not that I’m saying they won’t do it)

they estimate single shot at 50% and with booster than 95%



most states are limiting now who is eligible to take it, there are more people that want the shots than they have shots, just most are down on the list and not eligible yet

Since you're keeping track of this, how many flu deaths have occurred in 2020 vs 2019 and 2018. Honest question. I'll hang and listen to your answer

Medical workers being offered the shots are refusing them. Of course anyone still capable of thinking for themselves might take that too mean the medical staff aren’t very scared of COVID. I mean if it was some sort of man eating killer these people would certainly be the ones to know.

He should be able to list it week by week. The good news is that corona has killed off influenza a and b which the great fauci could never accomplish before.

As well as cancer and heart disease. If we could just get a vaccine for suicide and drug overdoses we’d be set.

i read an article somewhere that hospitalization in Florida has not gone up year to year even though the corona cases are way up. the article came from a media outlet called Blaze. i didn't post it because i know nothing abut Blaze and couldn't confirm what the article said. i know that the corona hospitals in Mass. are full and the governor is looking for other places to treat those that got infected with it. i was wondering if the colder weather up here had something to do with the number of people in the hospitals.

The Blaze was started by Glenn Beck


I heard that the virus is killing one sex much more than another for those under 70 years of age. Almost a 2/1 or 65% deaths of this sex .... I was looking on CDC site, but did not want to download their spreadsheet with 13K+ lines.


One of the reasons hospital beds are full at some places are that some infected hospitalized are there longer than 3 weeks.

One of our employees got covid and on Saturday went to hospital because her asthma was acting up and her potassium was very low. So here we have a positive and still infectious covid patient being given an ER bed at a hospital. That's not unusual. What is unusual is that she shared a room for five hours with a non-covid patient. Hospital knew it and didn't care.

Cuomo's rigid COVID-19 vaccine rollout in New York results in 66% unused and expired doses thrown out

The strict guidelines of who is eligible to receive the COVID-19 shot has caused vaccines to sit in freezers and not be used. In New York City, only 167,949 of 489,325 doses have been administered, which means that 66% are currently unused, according to the report. In New York state, roughly 50% of vaccines have been used thus far.

The coronavirus vaccine was first available in mid-December, and as of Jan. 1, "about 88,140 people had received the first of two doses, the equivalent of about 1 percent of the city's population," the New York Times reported.
