12 months out we are still discovering that this virus has different effects on different individuals, regions, race but still prevalent....fortunately countries with younger people have less toxicity

Just read something mind boggling..80 billion animals are killed for food yearly, who provide only 18%calories yet take up 80% of the earth’s farmland!

99%livestock in the US and 74% worldwide come from factory farms.. making them genetically identical enabling viruses to jump between animals without any genetic variants that might stop it!!

The power of science.. The US Food and Drug Administration is on track to approve Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine sometime Friday, or possibly over the weekend, after releasing research on Wednesday that concluded the shot was effective. It all happened in a little over a year.

Here’s how it came together: Jan. 2020: Johnson & Johnson receives the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. July 2020: Johnson & Johnson develops its single-shot Covid-19 vaccine candidate and begins early stage clinical trials.

The company submits its vaccine to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use authorization. Feb. 24, 2021: The FDA releases a 62-page review of the vaccine, which finds it safe and effective.

Here is a snapshot of the largest producers of vaccines. Much more supply is in the pipeline but all countries will need to share. It is essential to vaccinate the most vulnerable in the world *now* for the benefit of everyone. The pandemic is not over until it is over everywhere

Wadi g into the vaccine nationalism debate. I always find it very amusing how rich countries (US and Europe) lecture poorer countries in their commitment to humanity while turning a blind eye to what they are doing... cmon people this is not over till most of the world gets it!

And there are politicians like R Lalzirliana, the power minister of #Mizoram, who was seen mopping the floor of the Covid ward where he is recovering after testing positive. #Aizawl #Northeast

My theory is that we will probably find out that the second dose may not be needed at all or needs to be delayed for 6 months or more.. first step towards that hypothesis

We absolutely must open schools. The damage of them staying closed is now worse then schools opening. Lots of lessons to take from other countries that have done this successfully.
