Benefits...

 

Across the country, more faith-based groups are stepping up as vaccine sites, particularly in communities of color, which have been disproportionately hard hit by the novel coronavirus.

Churches have often been a cornerstone in the fight against inequities and a trusted source of information and guidance during troubled times. During the pandemic, vaccinations have become the latest public service in a health and economic crisis that has seen places of worship offer canned food, clothing, housing and other assistance.

Federal and state officials are scrambling to distribute millions of vaccines as the death toll from COVID-19 continues to climb, reaching 600,000. Less than 14% of the U.S. population has received the vaccine, and preliminary data suggests people of color are being vaccinated at lower rates than white Americans.  

So why we Merge a healthcare issue with a religion?

When the CDC say  "Benefits out weigh the Risks" who is to decide regarding the risks? The Ministers, the Politicians or the Doctors?

Bottoms...

 

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Thursday she won't seek a second term, an election-year surprise that marks a sharp turnabout for the city's second Black mayor who months ago was among those President Biden considered as a possible running mate. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution called the decision "stunning."

An emotional Bottoms held a press conference on Friday explaining her decision. She said that she had written two potential letters to the people of Atlanta — one announcing that she would remain in the mayoral race, and one announcing that she would not run for reelection. Bottoms released the open letter announcing her decision to withdraw on Thursday evening.

Dropping like... CNN main hero's, with repeated appearances are in a peculiar situation. Started with Gov. Cuomo's legendary performance in the Epidemics that killed more than any other occasion with him and his team covering up the Nursing homes death, to fall from grace and here is another person who decided I am out of here. CNN's hero's are dropping out From top to Bottoms.

RISK...

 

The announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration comes after the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices,  recommended for the continued use of the J&J vaccine, saying         

 " The benefits of the shot outweighed the risk."  Approved by 10 to 4 scientists.

Members of the advisory panel didn’t recommend U.S. regulators restrict the use of the J&J vaccine based on age or gender, but they did propose that the Food and Drug Administration consider adding a warning label for women under the age of 50.

In a statement late Friday, the FDA and CDC said they were confident that the vaccine is safe and effective in preventing Covid-19, adding the risk of the blood clots is “very low.”

It is very low until it is YOU.

How can 40 % of the scientists reject the vaccines and the politicians promote it constantly? 

Please let your doctor decide if J&J's Benefit out weigh the Risk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or may be women can use Pfizer or Moderna.    Just a thought.

Myocarditis...

 

Israel’s Health Ministry said it is examining a small number of cases of heart inflammation in people who had received Pfizer’s (PFE.N) COVID-19 vaccine, though it has not yet drawn any conclusions.
Israel's pandemic response coordinator, Nachman Ash, said that a preliminary study showed "tens of incidents" of myocarditis occurring among young people below the age of thirty. More than 5 million vaccinated people but how many of the same age?

Ash said it was unclear whether this was unusually high and whether it was connected to the vaccine.

The US Defense Department is tracking 14 cases of heart inflammation, or myocarditis, in military health patients who developed the condition after receiving either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

The company said it "is aware of the Israeli observations of myocarditis that occurred predominantly in a population of young men who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine".

Theft...

 

The U.S.’s stunning endorsement of a proposal to waive Covid-19 vaccine patents has won plaudits for President Biden and roiled the global pharmaceutical industry. But, at least in the short term, it’s likely to be more of a symbolic milestone than a turning point in the pandemic.

For months, proponents of the proposal have argued that the need to waive intellectual property protections was urgent given the growth of Covid cases in low- and middle-income countries, which have been largely left without the huge shipments of vaccine already purchased by wealthy countries. But patents alone don’t magically produce vaccines. 

This of course is a stupid move. The Pharmaceutical companies invest billions in research to get new drugs for the health of the world. Then the USA would just steel their patent for the benefits of not sure who.

This move is what China has been doing and we complaint about it and the world complained about it.

This is the time to enrich Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, and J& J for the next round that we would not have a solution to it, the New Mutation.  Just a thought.

Evict...

 

A federal judge vacated a nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place by federal health officials to help cash-strapped renters remain in their homes during the pandemic.

The ruling was a win for a coalition of property owners and realtors, who brought one of several challenges against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) eviction moratorium, which was first enacted under former President Trump and later extended through June.

In a 20-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled that the agency exceeded its authority with the temporary ban.  

"The question for the Court is a narrow one: Does the Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction?
Just a thought.
