vaccine the preferred option
Posted By: Ribicon, 1/23/2022 11:16:41 AM
Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Saturday that an annual COVID-19 vaccine would be preferable to more frequent booster shots in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.(Snip)In an interview with Israel's N12 News, Bourla was asked whether he sees booster shots being administered every four to five months on a regular basis. 'This will not be a good scenario. What I'm hoping (is) that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year,' Bourla said. 'Once a year—it is easier to convince people to do it. It is easier for people to remember. 'So from a public health perspective, it is an ideal

Homeland Security recorded more than 2 million encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border last year, shattering previous records, as the Biden administration relaxed the country’s immigration policies. The department released final December numbers on Monday and announced a snap visit by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the border later this week to try to take stock of the situation.
He’ll likely hear the grim details from agents themselves: The numbers have never looked worse for border illegal activity.
Seizures of dangerous drugs like fentanyl are soaring, and migrants are surging in even during what used to be quiet months, and they’re coming from much further afield than ever before.
Omicron could have jumped into humans from mice, scientists say.
The mysterious origin of the heavily-mutated Covid variant that triggered global panic only a month ago continues to puzzle experts.
But Chinese scientists now say they may have unearthed evidence linking the mutant strain to mice—in its DNA. Analysis showed the variant carries mutations that make it better at infecting the animal group—which previous research has shown can catch Covid from humans.(Snip)But most scientists agree that Omicron likely emerged after a prolonged infection in an immunocompromised person, such as an HIV patient. In the study, researchers compared the DNA of Omicron to the original Wuhan virus
A Missouri university is hosting an online forum that will explore whether the term 'professionalism' is racist—and according to the event's synopsis, it is. The February 1 presentation at Washington University's St. Louis campus centers around a term defined by Merriam-Webster as 'the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.'
An explainer for the upcoming virtual event reads: 'The term “professionalism” has at times been used to silence and marginalize people of color, when attributes of appearance, language or interactions that have nothing to do with job knowledge or constructive collegial relationships are labeled as “unprofessional”. 'In this context, so-called professionalism
The Black Lives Matter chapter of Washington, DC, has called for the public not to automatically hail cops shot on the job as “heroes” before all facets of a situation are considered. In a series of tweets late Sunday, Black Lives Matter DC said the public should not “jump to conclusions” after a Metropolitan Police officer was wounded by a barricaded suspect late Sunday in the city’s Petworth section. “Let’s wait till we have all the information (isn’t that what y’all tell us),” the chapter tweeted late Sunday.(Snip) “No one asks what the cop did wrong.” The group said “reaction” and news coverage of the shooting was tilted toward
A man in traditional Jewish garb was randomly slugged in Brooklyn over the weekend, authorities said. The 21-year-old victim—who was wearing Hasidic garments—was walking at Troy Avenue and Carroll Street in Crown Heights around 1:20 a.m. Saturday when the suspect approached him from across the street and socked him in the nose, cops said. The assailant didn’t say a word during the assault, police said.(Snip)The suspect—shown on video walking on the sidewalk past a yellow school bus for Beis Chaya Mushka, a girls’ high school located at that intersection—fled, police said. The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the assault.
Major cities across the US have observed carjackings spike by up to 510 per cent in a 'disturbing' trend some are attributing to lax punishment and a shift in driving habits. In line with an overall rise in violent crime across the nation, cities such as Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and New Orleans are experiencing a jump in violent vehicle takeovers as critics slam criminal reform systems.
Others say changes that have come about during the pandemic—including curbside pickup and an increased demand for delivery service—are contributing to the jump. In Chicago, 1,849 carjackings were reported last year—a 510 per cent increase from the 303 vehicular hijackings
San Juan, Puerto Rico—Unknown people toppled a statue of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in the pre-dawn hours of Monday ahead of a visit of King Felipe VI to the U.S. Caribbean territory of Puerto Rico. Col. José Juan García, police commissioner for San Juan, told The Associated Press that officers patrolling the cobblestone streets of the capital’s historic district heard a loud bang at 4:30 a.m. and found the broken statue.(Snip)The statue was made of melted steel from British cannons and featured the Spanish explorer facing south with his left hand on his hip and right finger pointed toward the first settlement he founded.
A long-time Nike employee was fired after refusing to supply his COVID-19 vaccination records to a third-party verification service used by the sportswear giant. Dex Briggs, 53, claims he was terminated from his marketing manager position at Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon earlier this month after a 26-year run with the company—despite being fully-vaccinated against the virus.(Snip)It sees vaccination records uploaded to software created by unidentified third-party firm. That firm then has permission to share the information with others in an effort to confirm the vaccination, which Briggs—who has previously fallen victim to identity theft—found too great

Chicago—They sought the American dream but were dealt the all-too-common hand of American violence instead. That’s how the family of Melissa Ortega describes the shooting death of the 8-year-old in Little Village Saturday. She and her mother had emigrated from Mexico in August.(Snip)“This is an 8-year-old Latina who could’ve been someone,” said activist Keith Thornton. “She came from Mexico to have a better life.”City leaders are demanding change after Melissa was shot and killed while walking with her mom in Little Village Sunday. She was struck by a bullet police say was intended for someone else.

Eric Clapton has claimed that anyone who has taken the Covid vaccine is a victim of 'mass formation hypnosis'. The singer, 76, previously claimed he suffered alarming side effects after his AstraZeneca jabs and released ant-lockdown single Stand And Deliver with Van Morrison in 2020.(Snip)He said: 'Whatever the memo was, it hadn't reached me. Then I started to realise there was really a memo, and a guy, Mattias Desmet [professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University in Belgium], talked about it. 'And it's great. The theory of mass formation hypnosis. And I could see it then. Once I kind of started to look for it, I saw it
Americans in Ukraine will be on their own if Russia invades so the U.S. government is advising them to take the earliest commercial flight possible out of the country. On Sunday, State Department officials said they didn’t know if Russian President Vladimir Putin has made the decision to send tanks across the border but insisted such a move could come “at any time.” “The U.S. government will not be in a position to evacuate American citizens in such a contingency,” a senior State Department official told reporters in a briefing. “Russian military action anywhere in Ukraine will severely impact the U.S. embassy’s ability to provide consular assistance.”
Jerry Taylor loved golf and so it was no surprise that one bright sunny afternoon in March 2002, he could be found practising his chip shots at his local course in Tucson, Arizona. Unfortunately for the mild-mannered 60-year-old frozen food salesman, lurking in the desert surrounding the practice range was a man squinting through the sights of a high-powered rifle.(Snip)For more than three weeks in October 2002, warped Gulf war veteran John Muhammad and his teenage accomplice Lee Malvo cowed the American capital and its suburbs as they indiscriminately shot 13 residents with their Bushmaster rifle from the boot of their car.

President Joe Biden could deploy up to 50,000 US troops as well as aircraft and warships to eastern Europe to counter a Russian military build-up that has sparked fears Vladimir Putin is about to invade Ukraine.The plan would see between 1,000 and 5,000 soldiers sent to NATO nations such as Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia, which border Russian territory.Troop numbers could then be increased up to 50,000 if the security situation deteriorates, backed up by fresh deployments of ships and aircraft. Pentagon officials presented the plan to Biden during a summit at Camp David
Who, really, is in charge at the White House? It sure doesn’t look to be President Joe Biden. The latest evidence came last week when Chief of Staff Ron Klain delivered a behind-the-scenes message to Democratic allies and staff, just hours after Biden’s disastrous news conference: The prez had failed to mention that his next Build Back Better bill would fund child and elder care, but Klain insisted it would. As Axios reported, “Klain’s private comments are yet another indication the White House has a core set of priorities it plans to fight for” . . . even if the president doesn’t know about it fully yet. CORRECTION*
President Biden was caught on a hot mic Monday appearing to call Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b****" in response to a question asked at the start of a White House event on lowering the prices on consumer goods. As the meeting at the White House wrapped up, a reporter asked the president for an update on a call held earlier in the day on the situation in Ukraine. Biden seemed impatient that the question had veered off the topic of the meeting. “The only reason I don’t like doing this is that you never

The Burlington Northern – Sante Fe (BNSF) railroad is preparing to go on strike. This will involve 17,000 workers across the nation and will disrupt supply chain channels even further.
FOX News in Minot – Bismark, North Dakota reports:
A new work policy at BNSF Railway that starts Feb. 1 has prompted more than 17,000 employees to decide to go on strike over what they call “the worst attendance policy ever.”
The SMART Transportation Union released the following statement: “This unprecedented BNSF policy repudiates direct and clear contract language and, in application, will attempt to force our members to report for duty without regard for their medical condition
A self-proclaimed mask “Karen” went berserk in a Walmart when she spotted a couple who was shopping without their faces covered.
After making initial contact and being largely ignored, the unhinged, overweight woman stalked the unmasked pair around the store as they shopped, while attempting to get others to join in on her meltdown.
“These people are not wearing masks, isn’t that rude?!” she exclaimed desperately while clapping and yelling about Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and of course Steven Colbert.
Thankfully she was unsuccessful in finding any others. In fact, one woman, who was also wearing her mask, interjected and called the masked crusader out for being rude herself.
President Joe Biden apologized after calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b****" on a hot microphone during a meeting about inflation. (snip) Biden later called Doocy to apologize for the remark, according to CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins. Doocy later told Fox News host Sean Hannity that Biden called to tell him, "It's nothing personal, pal." The remarks were also included in the White House's official transcript of the meeting. The White House did not respond to an inquiry about whether or not Biden knew the microphone was still on when he made the comment.
When White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stepped into the briefing room for the first time last year, it was seen as a return to a functional relationship between the administration and the press corps. Gone were the days of briefings simply never happening, of insulting journalists and exposing them to Covid-19.
You never know what the day’s going to look like when you wake up. Typically, I have meetings and calls from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The first is with my team. We talk about the news of the day. We have some laughs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has finally acknowledged a point that COVID dissenters have been making since at least the creation of the first coronavirus vaccine: Natural immunity counts.
A study published by the Biden CDC on Monday found that “persons with vaccine- and infection-derived immunity,” the latter of which is the agency’s term for natural immunity, “had much lower rates of hospitalization compared with those in unvaccinated persons” during the study period.
Conducted in New York and California between May and November of 2021, the study also found that natural immunity offered even “greater” protection “after the highly transmissible Delta variant became predominant,
Nearly 64,000 U.S. troops are at the ready in Europe to deploy to the continent's eastern flank if President Biden makes such a call to counter growing Russian aggression at the border with Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin has deployed 100,000 Russian forces to the Ukraine border and continues to stoke fears he will invade, the U.S. may have to ready its troops and its cache of arms situated throughout Europe, including 40 warships, 175 aircraft and 90 tanks. Military officials presented the commander-in-chief with a plan to deploy up to 50,000 troops if the security situation deteriorates and Russia launches an invasion
An anonymous University of Pennsylvania swimmer has slammed transgender teammate Lia Thomas as she continued to dominate in the pool in a meet against Harvard this weekend, saying that she was 'not even close to being competitive' when competing as a man.
The swimmer, who chose to remain anonymous, spoke to the Washington Examiner about the advantages Thomas, 22, has gained through her transition, especially after the USA Swimming team announced it will allow 'non-elite' athletes to compete in a way that is 'consistent with their gender identity.'
On Thursday, USA Swimming said that it will release a new policy 'shortly' on whether elite trans athletes,
A House candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump handily defeated Rep. Liz Cheney in a Republican Party straw poll in Wyoming, according to a report.
Harriet Hageman, whom Trump endorsed in September to challenge Cheney in the Republican primary, won the straw poll conducted by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee with 59 votes, the Casper Star-Tribune reported on Saturday. Cheney came in a distant second with six votes. The incumbent drew Trump’s ire when she voted — along with nine other Republicans — to impeach the former president on Jan. 13
Comments:
The Science shows that the shots wear off after 3 or 4 months, and even then offer very limited protection, if any. And market research shows that people will refuse 3 or 4 shots each year. So annual shots, maybe still mandated and ideally at 3 or 4 times the current price, will be the preferred option from a revenue perspective for Albert Bourla.
