Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

And if Johnson&Johnson had their vaccine ready 3 months earlier the Dempanic would already be over. Face the truth for once. Biden has done nothing but follow the plan that President Trump laid out.

... except for the fact that it was not ready three months ago. The ex President has no cohesive plans for vaccine distribution and vaccination.

It was President Biden who appointed the well respected Dr. David Keslar as the USA's COVID-19 drug czar. He is the person responsible for creating and implementing the many innovations that are rapidly accelerating the distribution and delivery of multiple effective vaccines throughout the USA.

President Biden appointed Dr Rochelle Walensky to head the CDC. She replaced the ineffective Dr. Robert Redfield who was constantly hampered by the ex President's political agenda from doing his job based upon science and facts.

Credit has to be given to ex President Trump for creating "Operation Warp Speed" but he left the day to day operation of the same to his political appointees who proved to be a failure at almost every turn.

New York, IBM begin testing Covid-19 digital health pass



IBM and New York State over the weekend began a pilot program to test their forthcoming Covid-19 "digital health pass." Dubbed the "Excelsior Pass," the blockchain-based application is designed to give New York residents a secure way to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test result or certification of vaccination.

The Digital Health Pass uses blockchain to preserve privacy and allow individuals to store, manage and share their health status from mobile devices. Users will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones. Each pass will have a secure QR code, which venues will scan using the companion app.

For states, the app will effectively serve as a way to maintain public safety in spaces where people congregate -- such as airports, sports stadiums and amusement parks -- while the pandemic persists. Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a plan to reopen major stadiums and arenas, which requires all staff and spectators to receive a negative COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours of an event.
"The Excelsior Pass will play a critical role in getting information to venues and sites in a secure and streamlined way, allowing us to fast-track the reopening of these businesses and getting us one step closer to reaching a new normal," Cuomo said in a statement.

In Mississippi, Black residents are desperate to get vaccinated. But they face access barriers.
Mississippi has one of the worst racial gaps in vaccination rates in the country, even as Black residents are hit hardest by the pandemic.

And this under President Joe Biden's watch. Are you finally realizing that he just might be a racist?

This is the beginning of a very slippery slope, we are expected to be vaccinated and carry around an app that proves it. If you have a look at the screenshots there is an expiry date for the vaccine in one year's time obviously this is a demo but might be in indication of what is to come in this new normal.

The world seems to be blindly walking into a surveillance state, and willing to be injected with whatever.

... certainly after people are safe from the deadly consequences of COVID-19, there will be plenty of time to discuss the ethics and privacy concerns of these tools designed to protect public safety. Property, transportation, entertainment and venue operators have the right to protect themselves from liability.

Not hard to image criminal concerns against getting vaccinated. Tracking.

Johnson & Johnson says vaccines for children under 18 could be available by September
From CNN’s Amanda Sealy

Johnson & Johnson is likely to have a Covid-19 vaccine available for children under the age of 18 by September, says CEO Alex Gorsky.

“I think it's likely to occur right in that timeline. The good news is, is that the FDA is already working with companies to establish the clear regulatory guidelines, so that the appropriate data can be collected,” Gorsky told David Ignatius during a Washington Post Live event on Wednesday

Gorksy said one benefit of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is that this particular type of vaccine has been used in lower age groups before.

“The AdVac 26 was used extensively among broad age groups, young and old in Africa when we were developing this for other conditions such as Ebola and HIV. So it gives us reasons to be optimistic regarding the safety profile in that in that patient population, but we still have to do the clinical work," he said.
Last week, Johnson & Johnson first announced their plans to study the vaccine in adolescents. Gorsky says it will begin testing in people ages 12 to 18, and it will go down from there.

"We will conduct several immunogenicity and safety studies in children from 17 years of age down to neonates,” Dr. Macaya Douoguih, head of clinical development & medical affairs with J&J’s vaccine arm Janssen, told a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee last week.

“We are also anticipating a study in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters toward the end of March, early April," Douoguih said. "We also plan to begin a study in immunocompromised individuals in the third quarter of this year."

Both Pfizer and Moderna are currently trialing their mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines in children.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Here's a little question & answer with Justin Trudeau:





Asked whether he was concerned about the impact that the American economy likely fully reopening ahead of Canada’s might have, Trudeau noted the different pandemic experiences both countries have had and cautioned against comparing.


“It's possible that those timelines be moved forward, and we're certainly going to work closely with the provinces in order to try and get to that, to get vaccinations to Canadians as quickly as possible so that we can loosen and reopen as quickly as possible,” he said.


Should the U.S. have all the doses needed in that country by the end of May, it opens up questions as to whether larger numbers could be sent to Canada earlier. It’s something Trudeau said he’s spoken with Biden about generally, but there’s no concrete commitment that Canada would be in line to receive any potential surplus from the U.S.

This is why many Canadians don't like the USA. We're like the big brother that beat them up their entire life. And they have the little brother complex. They want to beat big brother but they haven't grown up enough to do it. In this case....they'll always play 2nd fiddle.
