Update…..
The FDA advisory board has approved the Moderna vaccine as expected …. Making it the second Coyote-19 vaccine in America…
The agency has gone along with advisory board giving the final ok for emergency use of the Moderna vaccine…
The Moderna vaccine is just as effective as the Pfizer vaccine inits second day of being used around the country…
The Moderna vaccine also is not as storage temperature sensitive as the Pfizer one, when must be kept extremely cold…
Newly released data confirmed on Tuesday that Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine is highly protective, setting the stage for its emergency authorization this week by federal regulators and the start of its distribution across the country.
The Food and Drug Administration intends to authorize use of the vaccine on Friday, people familiar with the agency’s plans said. The decision would give millions of Americans access to a second coronavirus vaccine beginning as early as Monday.
The review by the F.D.A. confirms Moderna’s earlier assessment that its vaccine had an efficacy rate of 94.1 percent in a trial of 30,000 people. Side effects, including fever, headache and fatigue, were unpleasant but not dangerous, the agency found.
The success of Moderna’s vaccine has become all the more crucial to fighting the pandemic as other vaccine efforts have faltered. The hopeful news arrives at a time of record-breaking numbers of coronavirus cases that are overwhelming hospitals and of an ever-increasing death toll, which reached a bleak milestone of 300,000 on Monday….
Possible Republican presidential candidate in 2024 and present FoxNews commentator Tucker Carlson has been attacking the Covid vaccine .
Last night he attacked the people behind it as suffering from “ moral rottenness.”
Some of the people “ behind” Operation Warp Speed?”Donald Trump, Mike Pence (who rolled up his sleeve for a shot on television yesterday) Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Aznar, in other words , the Trump Administration.
Does this make any sense?Of course not.However, let’s remember who we are dealing here with…..Republicans.
Carlson ,who is one of their favorite purveyors of lies, conspiracy theories, and racial antagonism , is now ,in effect, attacking Trump.You know the President they are trying to help steal the Election for.Yet he suffers from “moral rottenness?”
Well ,not for the reason he assigns , but for all sorts of other reasons,I agree with Carlson!
Trump is “morally rotten!”
One might say Carlson and Trump continue the practice of ‘eating their own’?
It is hard to take Carlson seriously after his recent lawsuit defense that people shouldn’t take literally what he says.
But as Jack indicated, Carlson meets the needs of his base of support – and that is why he is so popular with Republicans.
Carlson should joint his buddy Trump on the Entertainment Channel…
