Vaccine a tale of two stories on the patent waiver – Pfizer claims no – https://www.timesofisrael.com/pfizer-head-bourla-says-hes-not-at-all-in-favor-of-us-vaccine-patent-waiver/ Moderna go for it – https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-vaccine-waiver-moderna-ceo-says-didnt-lose-sleep-2021-5

To me this is a lot more interesting – a breakthrough from a healthy active pro sports athlete completes his vaccination back in MARCH and gets sick (timeline not clear SI reporting sucks – according to twitter notes a week after) and felt significant symptoms – too bad the article doesn’t point out which vaccine twitter notes J&J majority of team but still who knows – also notes still testing positive! – https://www.si.com/nba/2021/05/07/warriors-damion-lee-tests-positive-covid-19-fully-vaccinated

“Lee told reporters he experienced a variety of symptoms, including headache, chills, sneezing, congestion, soreness and body aches, adding that it felt, "like I was hit by a car, hit by two cars at once…every step I took, it hurt."

Lee also described experiencing brain fog, difficulty breathing and a loss of appetite. He said he had difficulty sustaining a conversation, and like, "there was a weight on [his] chest for a couple days."

Vaccine breakthrough stats from Oregon – https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2021/05/oregon-reports-611-vaccinated-people-infected-with-covid-19-8-died.html

“Public health officials announced Thursday that a total of 611 people in Oregon have tested positive for COVID-19 even though at least two weeks had passed since they’d finished their full courses of vaccinations.

Eight of those people died, with each age 70 or older.

Officials with the Oregon Health Authority said these cases represent a “very small” percentage — about .047% — of the 1.3 million Oregonians who’ve completed the one- or two-dose courses of the Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer or Moderna regimens.”

Well its coming for kids – great for the kids compromised – but what to do with the healthy kids? Risk/reward – https://greekreporter.com/2021/05/08/pfizer-vaccine-100-effective-in-study-of-12-15-year-old-children/

“The Pfizer vaccine, the first one produced and approved for use in the fight against the coronavirus, has shown remarkable efficacy in trials with 12-15 year old teenagers, with 100% effectiveness noted thus far.”

“The company recently released the preliminary results of its study of 2,260 United States volunteers age 12 through 15, showing there were zero cases of Covid-19 contracted among fully vaccinated children. The result was compared against the outcome of a control group receiving a placebo shot, in which 18 subjects developed the virus.”

SOOOO aggravating/disappointing it took this long to acknowledge the obvious. Its time to focus on ventilation – guidelines CO2 sensors <1000 ppm! Why so late? IF known at beginning and had CO2 sensors and guidelines I am very certain the spread would have not been as bad. People were spreading it from get togethers as they didn’t know CO2 levels could be used to calculate ventilation levesl in their home. IF they did they would have opened windows or stopped gathering in those locations. Airborne Coronavirus Is a Threat, the C.D.C. Acknowledges – The New York Times (nytimes.com)

“Federal health officials on Friday updated public guidance about how the coronavirus spreads, emphasizing that transmission occurs by inhaling very fine respiratory droplets and aerosolized particles, as well as through contact with sprayed droplets or touching contaminated hands to one’s mouth, nose or eyes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now states explicitly — in large, bold lettering — that airborne virus can be inhaled even when one is more than six feet away from an infected individual. The new language, posted online, is a change from the agency’s previous position that most infections were acquired through “close contact, not airborne transmission.”

IF one was to develop a transfer agent a cold virus (corona virus) would be an ideal mechanism. Perhaps out of good the thought of transferring immunity from cold flu etc…but as any good sci-fi movie shows intention does not lead to results. Conspiracy theory will likely continue around Covid 19 – everything you need is there – A US funded viral lab – the location of break out near there – and now “leak” documents https://www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/leaked-chinese-document-reveals-a-sinister-plan-to-unleash-coronaviruses/news-story/53674e8108ad5a655e07e990daa85465

“A document written by Chinese scientists and Chinese public health officials in 2015 discussed the weaponisation of SARS coronavirus, reveals the Weekend Australian.

Titled The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons, the paper predicted that World War Three would be fought with biological weapons.

Released five years before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it describes SARS coronaviruses as a “new era of genetic weapons” that can be “artificially manipulated into an emerging human disease virus, then weaponised and unleashed in a way never seen before”.

“The document is discussed in a new book What really happened in Wuhan by The Australian investigations writer Sharri Markson which will be published by HarperCollins in September.”

Perhaps America is healing but there is no point in being reckless. Miami also is consistently the highest confirmation county in the US – https://www.dmarge.com/2021/05/miami-dance-party-michael-bibi.html
