Buzz...

June Tatelman had recently received her second dose of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine. Maybe soon she could play with her grandchildren etc...

She ran into her family physician -- who killed her buzz very quickly.

To treat inflamed blood vessels in her lungs, Tatelman, 73, takes a drug that suppresses her immune system. Medical studies suggest the vaccine might not work well for some.

He asked her to get a blood test to see if the vaccine had worked -- if she had antibodies against the virus.

She did the test and had no detectable antibodies against Covid-19.

There's very little data to help answer these questions. Tens of millions of other Americans are also taking immunosuppressive drugs that might weaken the effect of the Covid-19 vaccine, and they find themselves in uncharted territory, 

Garros...

 

Russian tennis player Yana Sizikova has been arrested in Paris by French police as part of a match fixing investigation, according to Le Parisien. Sizikova, a 26-year-old doubles specialist, was taken into custody on Thursday night in relation to an investigation dating back to October for “sports corruption” and “organized gang fraud”.

The arrest, however, relates to last year’s Roland Garros when bookmakers issued alerts for abnormal betting patterns during Sizikova’s first-round women’s doubles match alongside Madison Brengle of the United States, which they lost 7-6(8) 6-4 to Romanians Andreea Mitu and Patricia Maria Tig.

During that encounter, hundreds of thousands of euros were reportedly wagered on a break of serve at 2-2 in set two. Sizikova was culpable for three of the points conceded, including two double faults, as she lost her serve to love.

Sizikova is currently ranked 101st and she has earned a total of $206,617 (£146,310) prize money over her 11-year career. This happened before with other tennis players.      Just a thought.

Basement...

 

The administration are suppose to solve the people's problem not create them and let it linger around.

Gas prices that doubled and its shortage is caused by the executive orders President Biden enacted "First Day In My Administration" The rest isn't less chaotic either.

The Government took over vaccinated people and what a chaos for those old people who are impacted the most. Now if you get vaccinated get a Beer? 

Then the Media wants to make heroes of those who just was their.  

What we need is an administration to build on the successes we had it in the past. We need basement deals, solving problems that this administration created. 

Just a thought.

Respect...

 

US Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg on Sunday backed the mask mandates still in effect on airplanes and public transit as a "matter of respect," in the wake of recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that suggest that fully vaccinated travelers can forgo face coverings in many public spaces.

During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," host Martha Raddatz pressed Buttigieg about the continued need for mask regulations on public transit, despite many fully vaccinated Americans dining out and returning to their fitness routines at gyms without face coverings.

"Well, some of the differences have to do with the physical space, some of them have to do with it being a workplace where in some of these transit and travel situations, people don't have a choice," he said. "It's a matter of safety, but it's also a matter of respect."

Raddatz also asked Buttigieg about the increase in violent disturbances and verbal assaults on airplanes, which have prompted some airlines to temporarily halt their alcoholic beverage offerings.

We listen to the Science.... That agree with me. Just a thought.

Mother, Child...

 

Researchers in Spain uncovered data that suggests a potential link between prenatal exposure to the common pain-relieving drug acetaminophen and increased risk for higher instances of autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, according to the results of a study published Friday.

The study, published European Journal of Epidemiology, based its findings on an analysis of 73,881 mother-child pairs in Europe. 

Children who were prenatally exposed to paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, were found to be 19% more likely to have developed Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and 21% more likely to have developed AD.

Considering all evidences on acetaminophen use and neurodevelopment, we agree with previous recommendations indicating that while acetaminophen should not be suppressed in pregnant women or children, it should be used only when necessary," the researchers added.

Sainthood...

 

The Democratic demands for Andrew Cuomo to resign have become a stampede, which is all the more reason for New York’s Governor to resist. Even unpopular politicians deserve due process, especially when former idolaters turn as quickly as progressives have on Mr. Cuomo.

We have no brief for the Governor, whose record on Covid-19 has been one of the country’s worst. His excessive and arbitrary lockdowns have done enormous harm to thousands of businesses and millions of people. His administration’s guidance that nursing homes had to accept Covid patients from hospitals led to many needless deaths. Then his administration lied about it.

Yet everyone has known all this for months, even as the press nominated Mr. Cuomo for Covid sainthood. The Washington Post retired the adorer’s cup: “Can Andrew Cuomo become FDR?” He won an Emmy for his media briefings, of all things, and a lucrative book contract for self-serving musings on the pandemic and leadership.

The new media consensus is that Mr. Cuomo is a bully who runs a “toxic” workplace and harasses women. 

A bully? You don’t say. Mr. Cuomo has been Governor for 10 years. He has bullied reporters in plain sight from the beginning, and threatened politicians who dared to criticize him, yet in the local press only the New York Post has taken him on.

Just a thought.

 6 this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17‘ In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.…

Walking...

 Many couples may feel trapped in a their relationship. But think about it, you may not be as trapped as you think. Several factors must be considered before walking away.

Economics. a person feels economically dependent on the partner for fear s/he couldn’t land a job that pays a living wage. Fact is, pre-pandemic, the unemployment rate was the lowest in 50 years and now as COVID restrictions are lifting, unemployment is rapidly declining. 

Hurting the kids. If you and your partner often fight or merely are cold to each other, it may be better for the kids for you to be apart. Not only will your kids not suffer the stress and see the poor role-modeling of an unhappy couple, each of you singly may do a better job of parenting.

Embarrassment. It may be more embarrassing to have family and friends see you choosing to stay stuck in a bad relationship than for you to separate. They may be impressed if, rather than being apologetic, you explain that you both want to seek a better life.

Ugly divorce. Yes, divorce can by ugly, protracted, and expensive. But that sometimes can be avoided by each of you promising to be statesmanlike and instead of lawyering up, engaging a highly skilled mediator that both of you agree to use.

Any way, don't rush to walk away. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.    Just a thought.
