Vaccine update – https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/15/covid-pfizer-vaccine-israel-study-finds-94percent-drop-in-symptomatic-cases.html
“Israel’s largest healthcare provider on Sunday reported a 94% drop in symptomatic Covid-19 infections among 600,000 people who received two doses of Pfizer’s vaccine in the country’s biggest study to date.
Health maintenance organization (HMO) Clalit, which covers more than half of all Israelis, said the same group was also 92% less likely to develop severe illness from the virus.”
“the data indicates the Pfizer vaccine, which was developed in partnership with Germany’s BioNTech, is even more effective two weeks or more after the second shot.”
I have always said there was something materially wrong with NY – their numbers were just too out there for there not to be a systematic issue – https://www.dailyposter.com/p/cuomo-gate-a-nixonian-scandal-is
“The biggest political scandal in America right now is playing out in New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in a lot of trouble — and rightly so. The Democratic governor did not merely wildly mismanage his state’s response to the COVID emergency, while netting himself a lucrative book deal and an Emmy. He did something worse.
In the middle of a public health emergency, he used his office to help one of his largest political donors shield itself from legal consequences as 15,000 nursing home residents died from COVID — and then he and his administration underreported that death toll, helping the same donor.”
“Amid New York’s exploding COVID death toll in April 2020, Cuomo’s budget included a provision shielding hospital and nursing home executives from legal consequences if their corporate decisions killed people during the pandemic.”
“To date, 27 states have now shielded nursing homes from lawsuits.”
“Cuomo’s office was vastly underreporting the number of COVID nursing home deaths, according to a report by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is considered a Cuomo ally. That report found that Cuomo administration data had undercounted nursing home deaths by 50 percent.”
“Cuomo’s top aide, Melissa DeRosa, admitted that Cuomo’s administration not only withheld information about nursing home deaths, but did so in order to preemptively avoid political and legal consequences.”
Still low numbers for US under 2k
CA back on top for confirmation and deaths
Shocking LA is not leading confirmation – Miami-Dade is. LA still leads death
Not much dispersion of confirmation in the middle of country – likely everyone hunkered down due to the freeze
Vaccination for the US rising. 7 day moving average of administered vaccine.
