475...

 



There have been a higher-than-expected number of cases of heart inflammation in 16- to 24-year-olds after receiving their second dose of Pfizer's or Moderna's Covid-19 vaccines.

There have been 275 reported cases in that age group as of May 31, according to a CDC presentation that was prepared for a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel meeting. Scientists expected between 10 and 102 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis — where the heart muscle or the lining surrounding it are inflamed, according to the CDC.

Also, there have been a total of 475 reported cases of myocarditis or pericarditis in people age 30 and younger, according to the CDC. 

Most patients who were hospitalized, or 81% of them, had full recovery from their symptoms, the agency said. As of May 31, 15 people remain hospitalized, with three in intensive care.

The majority of cases appear to occur in men and the median time to the onset of symptoms is two to three days, according to the CDC.

What is missing here is how many were vaccinated who are under the age of 30 years old?

Just a thought.

Watch...

 


Who is leading who? Who has the louder voice? Who is right and who is wrong.

Here is a song for all.

Civil War


Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

Hack...

 

The question here is do we spy on Russia as they do to us?
Do we spy on China as they do to us?  

The right relationship with Russia begins with the President and the Congress. Bad mouthing the Russians doesn't get us anywhere.

 Just a thought.

Beer

 



The White House is ramping up efforts to ensure that U.S. adults get vaccinated against Covid-19, announcing extended pharmacy hours for shots and free child care for recipients, expanded community outreach efforts and even free beer.

The push is part of a broader effort by the administration to encourage and make it easier for unvaccinated Americans to get Covid-19 shots — and meet President Joe Biden's goal of giving at least one shot to 70 percent of U.S. adults by July 4.

I think Biden wants to go further...  It is about his performance and not about the young people who was not impacted at all. 

It is a diversion from the south border chaos. The Gasoline high prices and shortage, etc.     Just a thought.

Herd...

 



Ever since the vaccine rollout started, the US has obsessed over herd immunity, or the idea that when enough people become immune to Covid-19, whether through infection or vaccination, the risk to those without immunity becomes negligible.    

 Estimates for achieving this nebulous goal vary widely, but states are clearly on different trajectories, and disparities in vaccination rates are sometimes even more stark at the local level.

While the US is doing well on the whole, ultimately what matters is how many people have had Covid-19 and how many are fully vaccinated in each community. 

As such, it is long past time to retire the idea of a national herd immunity and instead focus on local case levels, hospitalization, death and vaccine coverage.  Just a thought.

Shell

 

Thanks to our Government for making the prices of gas as high as possible [affordable] for the poor people. Remember they only are taxing the rich, but making it difficult for the rest. Just a thought

Caring...

 

When your muscles are in motion, they activate anti-aging genes that keep immune cells energized so they can pounce on invading viruses or bacteria. 

And moving for 30 minutes daily lessens the risk of illness by up to 57 percent, Australian scientists say. 

Even small movements, like wiggling your toes or pacing while on the phone, count toward that total!

Fresh cherries and berries, enjoying a cup  with each meal cuts your risk of feeling stiff by 50 percent. What’s more, it quashes muscle and joint pain in 10 days if you’re sore right now.  
 That’s the word from Yale researchers, who say the carotenoids that give these gems their rich hues activate healing, anti-aging genes inside muscle and joint cells.

Just taking a few minutes each day to say prayers for or send well-wishes to friends and loved ones can add 12 healthy years to your life, University of Kentucky researchers report. 

Positive, Caring thoughts activate a gene (the OXTR gene) that slows aging of tissues and organs, plus strengthens your immune system’s ability to quickly trounce cancer cells..

Yuk...
