No argument, the Trump Admin did a good job resourcing the Pharma companies, whose scientists did a good job of developing the specific vaccines needed, and thank goodness for the MRNA platform and the scientists who have been working on that, with federal support for many years. It has enormous promise in other areas as well.
Biden's been better, but not perfect. And the Harris and Biden comments during the campaigns about the vaccines were very unhelpful. Mistakes. And because they were mistakes made from a self-serving political view, rather than honest actual mistakes, I think they deserve condemnation. Agree.....so go ahead....CONDEMN them ! Just can't bring yourself to do it tho........odd
Do you think you can even begin to break down the USA population as to whom got which vaccination.........and IS your opinion on the "old" vaxx tech that J and J employed.....as in, do you trust their numbers and so on ?
Does pfizer have an advertizing budget? (asking for a friend )
.....get you booster yet?
Go ahead, rant away...it's just flailing around, but ok.
No, I'm not yet eligible for the booster, but will do so as soon as I am. I'm past the 6 months for Moderna, but a year away from being 65 and I don't have the medical risk factors...I could "qualify" by saying I'm often in healthcare or educational settings, and that's a bit of a stretch. But I'm planning to do it before going to Florida where both virus prevalence is higher and I'll be interacting with many more people whose vulnerability is higher than my own.
J&J has, what, a 65% effectiveness, whereas the MRNA platform vaccines have 90%? and J&J has a sustained benefit for just a couple of months, whereas the MRNA lasts at least twice as long before reduction? Makes a real big difference, which is why they've recommended using the MRNA shots as boosters to J&J after a couple of months.
The MRNA tech is really quite amazing, the result of decades of genetic work.
It has really, really important potential in other diseases as well.
If you don't know what you're flailing on about, you really shouldn't rant.
