for at least 6 months
Posted By: Ribicon, 7/28/2021 9:50:20 PM
Washington—The effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine wanes slightly over time but it remains strongly protective for at least six months after the second dose, according to company data released Wednesday. The findings are one piece of evidence that U.S. health authorities will consider in deciding if and when booster doses might be needed. Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech have said they plan to seek authorization for boosters. The new data comes from the 44,000-person study that initiated the widespread use of the vaccine, showing its highly effective in the first few months after immunization. Now the companies have tracked those study participants for six months

Mbeubeuss is one of the biggest rubbish tips in Africa and Senegal’s largest open cemetery for murdered children. In the past three years, the bodies of 32 infants have been recovered from the site by the waste-pickers who work there. Looking at the high rate of infanticide in Senegal, it seems the main reasons for it are shame about pregnancy outside marriage and a loss of traditional support for young women. Religious conservatism, economic hardship and a lack of access to contraception and sex education in Senegal are leaving many women I talk to feeling isolated. In the past, girls could turn to la Badiane
Lots of kids want to be railroad engineers. Who wouldn't want to wear a cool hat, toot the whistle and clickety-clack down the tracks? C.J. Pappas enjoyed playing with model trains so much that he became a conductor and engineer with the Union Pacific Railroad. But when he's not working on the railroad, the 34-year-old Crystal resident sometimes takes a busman's holiday to operate what might be the coolest toy train of all: an antique railroad motorcar.(Snip)The motorized steel-wheeled vehicles, sometimes called speeders, are roughly the size of a golf cart and were used by railroads for much of the 20th century
The Montana man who confronted Tucker Carlson in a fishing store in Livingston over vaccine misinformation says he has no regrets about calling the Fox News host ‘the worst human being known to man,’ in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com. A DailyMail.com team tracked Dan Bailey, 38, and his wife Kascie, 36, on Saturday to the remote Middle Fork Salmon River which sits in the middle of the 2.5m acre Frank-Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho where the couple returned from a long-planned wilderness vacation. Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Dan Bailey, 38, said he had been oblivious to the furor caused by the video

Provo, Utah–As Mindy Greene spent another day in the COVID intensive care unit, listening to the whirring machines that now breathed for her 42-year-old husband, Russ, she opened her phone and tapped out a message.
"We did not get the vaccine," she wrote on Facebook. "I read all kinds of things about the vaccine and it scared me. So I made the decision and prayed about it and got the impression that we would be ok." They were not.
Her husband, the father to their four children, was now hovering between life and death, tentacles of tubes spilling from his body.
New Orleans—Five people were wounded by gunfire in a French Quarter shooting Sunday morning, according to NOPD officials. Police have detained one person in connection with the shooting. EarthCam's Bourbon Street live feed captured the sound of several gunshots that prompted weekend French Quarter crowds to flee the area. Minutes after the shooting, members of the New Orleans Police Department arrived at the scene. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson both made it to the scene of the Bourbon Street shooting; both left without giving a statement to members of local media outlets who were there.
The shooting happened near Bourbon and Orleans Streets
Where was Bill? Mayor de Blasio was a no-show at the NYPD’s early-morning Saturday news conference about the shooting of a police lieutenant in the Bronx, and City Hall did not offer an explanation for his absence. “That’s typical of him,” grumbled one police source of Hizzoner. “He never has cared about police officers. So it’s not surprising he’s showing his true colors with only a few months left.” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea briefed the media outside Jacobi Medical Center around 4 a.m. Saturday on the status of the wounded lieutenant, who was shot late Friday night in the Bronx while wrestling with accused gunman and documented
Shaun King has built his image on being a champion of the poor and disenfranchised, but the controversial civil rights activist lives like a one-percenter in a sprawling lakefront home, records show. King, 41, moved earlier this year from a luxury two-bedroom apartment in downtown Brooklyn, to the five-bedroom, 3,000 square foot North Brunswick, NJ, property, with “a lakefront backyard” and gourmet kitchen, according to public records.(Snip)King has been dogged for years by allegations of shady dealings in his charitable efforts in movements he has founded—including a lack of transparency in money he has raised for several criminal justice initiatives
Two women were shot at a waterpark in Tennessee Saturday night.
According to Soaky Mountain Waterpark, an altercation broke out in the facility's parking lot just after 8pm and escalated into a shooting.
The victims were taken to area hospitals, however their conditions remain unknown. Three people were detained in connection to the incident, including the alleged shooter. As the investigation remains in its preliminary stages, officials said they could not provide any more information about the shooting at this time. Police hope to share more details with public with on Sunday.(Snip)Soaky Mountain Waterpark is located in the popular vacation town of Sevierville, not far from
Indianapolis—The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating after five people were shot—including a 4-year-old girl—in a shooting that occurred outside a funeral home Saturday afternoon.(Snip)Police say a funeral service was occurring at the funeral home when shots were fired in the parking lot outside. When officers arrived on scene, they found three victims including a 16-year-old girl, a man, and the 4-year-old girl. The 4-year-old was transported to the hospital in critical condition. The condition of the other two victims was stabilized.
Shortly afterward, police responded to a nearby hospital
A white Texas cop was filmed laying on a vomiting black girl saying 'I can't breathe' after she reportedly ran in front of cars on a busy road in a bid to kill herself. The girl, named as Nekia Trigg, 18, was filmed prone on the ground in Forney, Texas, on Tuesday. Trigg's mom Antanique Ray, could be heard pleading with the officer to let her get up while she tries to calm her daughter down as she labored through each breath. Ray was later arrested for disorderly behavior, but has since bonded back out of prison.(Snip)Her family denies reports Trigg was attempting to kill herself, despite multiple
A famed conservative columnist who lives at the epicenter of the United States' latest Delta COVID cluster said of the virus 'Let it rip' after seeing how mild his vaccinated friends' symptoms were. Writer Andrew Sullivan says the COVID-19 outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, that infected around 900 people and triggered CDC's mask U-turn was sparked by wild July 4 indoor parties following Pride Week. This outbreak was behind the CDC's sudden backpedal on mask recommendations for vaccinated Americans to wear masks in indoor places in COVID hot spots. But now Sullivan says first-hand experience of his friends' illnesses showed that the Indian Delta variant
TikTok star Anthony Barajas has died in hospital, five days after he was shot in the head while on a first date at a California movie theater.
The Corona Police Department confirmed the 19-year-old succumbed to his injuries on Saturday morning, saying in a statement that they 'extend their condolences to his family and friends'. Barajas was at a late-night screening of The Forever Purge with Rylee Goodrich, 18, at The Regal Edwards Theatre in Corona on Monday when they were both gunned down. Goodrich, who was also struck in the head, died at the scene. Barajas was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

The lifestyles of around three average Americans will create enough planet-heating emissions to kill one person, and the emissions from a single coal-fired power plant are likely to result in more than 900 deaths, according to the first analysis to calculate the mortal cost of carbon emissions.

People who do not comply with Covid-19 pandemic restrictions are mostly male, more extroverted and more likely to put their own self-interests above those of others, suggests a new study of behaviours internationally. University of Sydney researchers assessed behaviours and attitudes towards Covid regulations in 1,575 people in Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US between April and May last year, during the first wave of the pandemic. Their study, published in the journal Plos One, found that about 10% of people reported being non-compliant with restrictions. These ind

Vice President Kamala Harris has another big trip ahead – but it won’t be a return visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. Instead, Harris next month will travel across the Pacific, to Vietnam and Singapore, amid U.S. tensions with China.Her goal is to “strengthen relationships and expand economic support,” chief spokeswoman Symone Sanders said in a statement. Harris will be the first sitting vice president to visit Vietnam. The trip is also an effort to rally support against China’s growing economic ascendency, according to Reuters.
Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the coronavirus pandemic. That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California. “Our number one seller is bacon, eggs and hash browns,” said Kim, who for 15 years has run SAMS American Eatery on the city’s busy Market Street. “It could be devastating for us.” At the beginning of next year, California
Perhaps CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has no sense of irony. We recently passed the 500th day to slow the spread, which, as we all know, started with 15 days to slow the spread in March of 2020. Now, Walensky is saying that if we all put on a face diaper and get the jab, we can defeat the Delta variant in a few weeks: “We can halt the chain of transmission,” Walensky told “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday. “We can do something if we unify together, if we get people vaccinated who are not yet vaccinated, if we mask in the interim, we can

Her husband, the father to their four children, was now hovering between life and death, tentacles of tubes spilling from his body.
A father of five, already hooked up to a bed in a Las Vegas hospital, texted his fiancée and expressed his regret over not getting the COVID-19 shot.
“I should have gotten the damn vaccine,” Michael Freedy wrote. On Thursday, the 39-year-old, known by friends as “Big Mike” died of complications from coronavirus. He contracted the disease during a vacation in San Diego with his fiancée, Jessica du Preez, and their five children—ages 17, 10, 7, 6 and 17 months. Shortly after they returned from the trip earlier this month, Freedy developed a painful skin rash.
You’d be forgiven for forgetting they existed, but the fugitive Texas Democrats, who fled their state to stop the passage of a mundane voting integrity bill, are still hanging out in Washington, DC. Where exactly, I’m not sure, but I like to imagine them sleeping on cots and eating ramen noodles every night while they mutter obscenities about Gov. Greg Abbott to each other. That’s when they aren’t spreading COVID to everyone, of course.
There was a sighting a few days ago in which some of them appeared with Al Sharpton at the MLK memorial. You know, because nothing stirs support in Texas like latching onto a notorious, big-city race grifter

It's no secret that Vice President Kamala Harris has been doing a terrible job. And it's not just us saying so. The revelations have come over the past few months that working for her amounts to "an abusive environment." Top travel aides announced they were leaving right around the time Harris went to El Paso for her border trip. After reports of disastrous poll results, The Hill and The New York Post spoke to Democratic strategists, and they weren't playing around.A Morning Consult-POLITICO poll from last week revealed that the vice president did not have good favorability ratings,
This sort of behavior is straight out of the dayroom of a mental hospital. (snip) First the President on the United States received a note from staffers informing him that he had something on his chin. For some reason, he stared at the back of the note while the rest of the world read the words, “Sir, there is something on your chin.” [tweet] But then, something happened that puts the currently serving POTUS in the category of library paste-eating mental defectives

Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Jay Thomas on “The Jay Thomas Show” on Tuesday and took questions from local callers.
During their conversation Senator Cramer was asked by a caller about Ashli Babbitt and her killer Lt. Mike Byrd. Senator Cramer refused to identify the killer but said he was grateful for the officer’s action.
Senator Cramer then lied and said Ashli Babbitt was warned by police before she was shot in an ambush.
This is a bald-faced lie. The officer hid in the shadows, did not utter a word, and then shot Ashli Babbitt in the neck as she climbed through a window. She was unarmed and was not a threat.

Waning efficacy, concordant with the company's eager projection that a continuing series of regular injections would provide an ongoing revenue stream worth billions of dollars a year, especially if the government mandates the thing? By cracky, this must be some of that Russian disinformation they warned us about.
