    The Pfizer vaccine was created in partnership with a West German company called BioNTech.

      I don't tell forks to do anything. They don't listen anyway.

        You're on record saying you'd rather wait for a vaccine that isn't made my an American company. I thought you cared about the folks more than that. Just think about the lives you could ruin if you spread the virus.

            How would you know what I care about? Maybe I'm a closet rightie and would rather endanger others than have my "freedom" taken away by the man.

                It still might come from their US research and development (R&D) center in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

                  Of course forks help you to feed yourself. They are like any tool, they need a human to operate it.

                    Dec 16 2020, 3,400 US citizens died so far today as a result of COVID-19 infections ... the most ever. 300 more people died today than 911.

                      Let's check in to see how Canada is doing with Covid.

                        Canada is not doing very well. New infections have been increasing fairly rapidly. There is a ski resort close to where I live that is in the midst of an outbreak partly because workers there didn't follow the health unit guidelines.

                                UK poised for 'Tier 4' lockdown as new coronavirus strain linked to surge in cases emerges

                                UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday imposed a new round of restrictions for London and much of southern England after officials said they have identified a new Covide-19strain that can spread more quickly and is believed to be linked to a rise in infections across those areas.

                                "I know how much emotion people invest in this time of year, and how important it is, for instance, for grandparents to see their grandchildren, for families to be together," Johnson said. "But we have said throughout this pandemic that we must and will be guided by the science."

                                Mike Ryan, chief of the World Health Organization’s emergency program, said Monday that the WHO was aware of a genetic variant of COVID-19 reported in about 1,000 individuals in England.

                                "Authorities in the U.K. are looking at its significance. We have seen many variants -- this virus evolves and changes over time," he said.

                                England’s chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, told Reuters on Saturday that it was too early to tell whether the new strain caused a higher mortality rate or impacted vaccines.

                                "We have alerted the World Health Organization and are continuing to analyze the available data to improve our understanding," he said.

                                ... not great! COVID-19 can mutate!
