The reason the Food and Drug Administration has only approved the vaccines for emergency use is because the long term effects of the vaccines are not known. NONE have been around for at least a year. So by allowing them to be administered only under emergency orders removes liability from both the government and the manufacturers of the vaccines. Meaning that if something seriously was to develop from the vaccines, the liability of the government and the manufacturers will be limited. The fact is the vaccine is no silver bullet and ALL the safety protocols must be followed to ensure safety of workers and guests. A person who has been exposed to the Covid-19 virus developed immunity to it and the new strains that may develop. At least over a period of time. The experts are not certain how long the vaccines will remain effective and now say a booster shot may be necessary some six months after a person has been fully vaccinated to protect against new strains.

Both the makers of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have indicated that booster shots (dose #3) will be needed by already vaccinated persons as early as October this year. This third shot will be necessary to make the vaccines effective against new strains of the virus. Johnson and Johnson and AstraGenica have not yet indicated a need for another shot. J and J has just returned to production as the FDA and the CDC decided the benefits far outweigh the problem (blood clots). The US plans to use J and J to vaccinate the homeless who may not be able to be located for a second dose of the other vaccines and also for people in rural or hard to reach areas.

Didn’t the government make a $2Million advance payment on vaccines? Is it something to do with the vaccines that are being held in Ohio and Minnesota because the FDA has yet to give approval for their use in the US? Is some of this country’s vaccines caught up in this batch?

The UK has already indicated that Americans who are fully vaccinated can travel to that country with Covid tests. But then there’s the presumption that Corona will be around for a very long time. What if this is the third and final wave?

Not a moment too soon. Hopefully it is a climate protected building. Does that mean hurricane resistant?

Obviously YOU didn’t READ the comment, obviously!

‘Once individuals are fully vaccinated,” he said, “individuals can participate in a closed environment, once all within that closed environment are fully vaccinated. The mask would not be necessary and they can participate within that environment.’

This is the second idiot that is telling people that once they are fully vaccinated, they will not need a mask to be in a room with other people who are fully vaccinated. For the record, please note (1) Persons who are fully vaccinated can still have the virus. (2) Persons who are fully vaccinated can still transmit the virus. (3). They can also transmit the virus to someone who is fully vaccinated. (4). Persons who are fully vaccinated can also contract the virus. (5) persons who are fully vaccinated can also contract the virus from another person who is fully vaccinated. So the wearing of masks, social distancing, hand washing and sanitizer are still necessary until the virus disappears or a cure is found. And if this is the final wave, this corona can be mostly gone by June. Many countries including THe United States, India, Brazil are starting to see declines in the numbers of new cases again along with fewer hospitalizations.

Joe Biden agrees to allow additional (legal) migrants from the Caribbean and Africa to enter the United States and become permanent residents and also agrees to grant extensions to temporary migrants (Mexicans) during the crop seasons. A definite chip at Trump’s great, big wall.
