You know, proving a negative is a fool's errand.WHO's 'not credible' coronavirus report angers scientists and politicians alike
A new report from the World Health Organization that seeks to uncover the origins of the coronavirus pandemic has been met with skepticism from Washington, all but ensuring that the question of how the pathogen emerged would remain a nagging issue for President Biden.news.yahoo.com
Ditto for my wife & I. Are you in the bay area? Perhaps we were at the same community center .Got my first Pfizer today... My local community center seems to have a received a new batch of Pfizer & Moderna and recently accepted appointments to randomly give you one or the other.
Is this going to affect April availability or is this the reason for low March availability ?Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine is delayed by a U.S. factory mix-up.
"Workers at a Baltimore plant manufacturing two coronavirus vaccines accidentally conflated the vaccines’ ingredients several weeks ago, ruining about 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine and forcing regulators to delay authorization of the plant’s production lines."
The error does not affect any Johnson & Johnson doses that are currently being delivered and used nationwide, including the shipments that states are counting on next week. All those doses were produced in the Netherlands, where operations have been fully approved by federal regulators.
Further shipments of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine — expected to total 24 million doses in the next month — were supposed to come from the giant plant in Baltimore. Those deliveries are now in question while the quality control issues are sorted out, according to people familiar with the matter.
Likely the same, yes... Long line back into the park...Ditto for my wife & I. Are you in the bay area? Perhaps we were at the same community center .

More reason to mask up, socially distance, and for God's sake, get vaccinated!New Helix Covid sequencing update today. It looks like Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida are now around 70% B.1.1.7 with other states continuing to show increases. Texas near 60%. California now shows 40% or higher (mostly sequenced from the San Diego area apparently).
Interestingly DeSantis seems to be encouraging everyone to get vaccinated (even though he says he will try to make vaccine-passports illegal in some way).When you have a goobenor like DeSantis with respect to COVID, the State Motto is "Uninformed and Proud of It!"
So far, for me, one day after 1st Pfizer, the only thing I am noticing is a slightly sore arm."The kinds of things we're seeing are arm soreness, body aches, sometimes fatigue, sometimes even low-grade fever," said Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccinologist and dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine.
After he got his second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, "I had shaking chills for a couple of hours," Hotez said.
...Other side effects can include pain, redness or swelling at the injection site and possibly headache or nausea, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
It's true that some people have reported stronger side effects after their second doses, according to both Pfizer and Moderna.
But again, that's another sign the vaccines are doing what they're supposed to.
Don't freak out if you get these side effects from a Covid-19 vaccine. They can actually be a good sign | CNN
With millions more Americans getting vaccinated every day, some have complained about symptoms they weren't expecting. Don't panic, doctors say. Here's what might happen, and why you shouldn't use side effects as an excuse to skip vaccination.www.cnn.com

..."Please wait until you're fully vaccinated before you're traveling, before you're engaging in high-risk activities," said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen....
..."We need to hold out just a bit longer and give vaccines a chance to really get the upper hand in this," Fauci said...
Yes, I was rather curious to know if I would have side effects from first dose since I had been previously closely exposed to 2 family members who had active COVID, but I never showed symptoms and had 2 negative antibody tests. It sure seems like I somehow managed not to catch it even though I was very exposed.Decent, but not fool-proof indicator that you didn't have COVID-19 previously (more accurate in the young than the old).
