Coronavirus

I never had chicky pox

I think that's all the more reason to get the Shingles shot, or maybe the good old fashioned Chicken Pox vaccine. Your PCP will know what's more appropriate. Getting Chicken Pox as an adult is way worse than as a child...

Wow

My guess is that a week from now the US will have 5 to 6 million infections of everything from the virus, to RSV, to good old common flu. Its the severity of the infections that matters.

Wow

Jeesh didnt they get their shots and arent masking up

or did they get inferior vaccinations and used the same inferior alleged KN95 masks that they shipped us ?

Maybe hell we still getting it here so who knows

did they get inferior vaccinations

They are inferior, but they felt the lockdowns let gave them leeway in not vaccinating everyone with a more effective vaccine.

Guess they got tired of the more jabs too?

Not at all, they gambled on a attenuated virus vaccine and it was a bust, especially when dealing with variants. They actually tried to hack Moderna and Pfizer data systems to make their own mRNA vaccine, but that was thwarted.

The inability to make an effective vaccine probably forced them to their program of extensive lockdowns and testing. Eventually those policies crapped on their economy, and the riots started, so they did a 180, and opened things up. Now they're on the cusp of a major outbreak which they'll shield from the rest of the world, as they've decided to not report daily new infection numbers, to save face. They're now in damage control mode, trying to cover there posteriors. They've fumbled the ball on multiple fronts, the vaccine, the Zero Tolerance Lockdown, and now the inevitable failure of opening things up.

Problem is that with a runaway, rampant infection of large numbers that we can anticipated, we'll probably be seeing some new variants originating there...

Why wouldnt we just give them our "vax" errr shots for life system Ya know save the world and stuff

That is a very good question...

For what it's worth, figuring out what mRNA sequences to use is something a 1st year Graduate Student can easily do. The challenge, and very expensive steps, of figuring out how to formulate the vaccine is where the challenges lie.

This exercise of figuring out the "Magic Secret Ingredients" to ensure uptake of the the mRNA into cells that will be able to produce large amounts of the viral protein fragments to stimulate the immune system, and to keep all the components of a vaccine stable, is where the syringe meets the skin...

That is a very good question...

Seems like it wold be the smart thing to do........ But it wont happen I wonder why

It might have $something to do with the $tock price and the keeping the $hareholder$ happy...

You can't lose site of the fact that the "Special Sauce" for a vast array of mRNA vaccines, now and future, will remain pretty constant. So if they were to divulge the info for the COVID vaccines, they've told everyone how to make any mRNA vaccine.

I won't comment on the morality of the decision...

Always about the money not whats best for the people go figure

But…

Better yet…

But…

Another reason we should give ours out to those that done have it Ya know save the world type shit

Better yet…

Yup give the China the good stuff so we can stop the madness already

Yeah, like the chicoms have given us so much. A thousand student spies at Stony Brook, several hundred thousand elsewhere. Tens of thousand US casualties in Korea. Appliances that break a few months after warranty. Toys saturated with chemicals. Daily threats against our military. Thousands of spies in our defense contractors. And then there is SARS and the present virus. They have given us so much.

Yes but our shots can save the world
