https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/u...quire-staff-take-covid-19-vaccine-due-general University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center Won't Require Staff To Take COVID-19 Vaccine Due To 'General Uncertainty' The reason are several-fold, according to UPMC medical director of infection prevention and epidemiology, Dr. Graham Snyder. For starters, general uncertainty over the vaccine. And while the $21 billion nonprofit organization (which employs 89,000 people) has a mandatory flu vaccination policy, it's "based on decades of experience with the influenza vaccine," according to Snyder. But there’s no comparable data for a COVID-19 vaccine, or on whether a mandate is the best way to get large numbers of people to become vaccinated, Snyder said on Tuesday. The first COVID-19 vaccine, from Pfizer, is expected to soon receive emergency approval. A second vaccine, from Moderna, is also expected to soon receive emergency approval. Distribution of at least one vaccine is expected to begin this month. Snyder said UPMC is “very excited about the preliminary information we have about how safe the vaccine is and how it will work.” Still, he said UPMC will conduct its own review of the vaccines before injecting any of its employees. -PennLive
Fauci already covering the bases. One hundred percent certainty this vaccine is going to kill someone, and adversely effect others. Yes, the deaths will be anomalies, but will feed the hesitancy to get vaccinated.

So here is the play. Fauci warning there will be some bad reactions to the vaccine. It's a given someone croaks as a result. How many, how quickly is the question. Who are they giving it too first? Nursing home patients. Sounds good until you think about it. We have a rush to market, widely untested, experimental vaccine and we're going to use the oldest and sickest of the population to test it on. What can possibly go wrong? Bottom line, if we start seeing more than just a very few really adverse reactions among this group of elderly Guinea pigs, the wheels come off and right quick. Pharmaceuticals and general market tank like a deep sea dive.
We'll see. Worth a little gamble trade to take the otherside. This vaccine doesn't work as advertised the market crashes fast and deep.
What we are hearing is just allergic reactions and the warning is anyone with history of allergic reactions to shots such as flu or other similar vaccines should not get the vaccine. Allergic reactions under supervision is not life threatening so the actual side effects will just be feeling shitty for a some period of time. People in nursing homes are under constant medical watch and care so they can be vaccinated more safely than other populations who might go home and then not report anything.
It’s interesting watching the boomer generation voice concerns over the vaccine. These are people who call gen z snowflakes because boomers grew up in houses made with and worked with lead, asbestos and polluted water and air. They constantly laud how they drank out hoses, didn’t wear seat belts, used leaded gasoline etc.
Let's see how the vaccine rollout is going in Russia... 42 Days without Alcohol!!! Dear mother of god comrade. This won't go over well. Short Vodka now! Russians Getting COVID-19 Vaccine Instructed Not to Drink Alcohol No Shots After Shots!!! https://www.tmz.com/2020/12/09/russia-sputnik-covid-vaccine-no-drinking-alcohol/ Russia's vodka industry is taking a major hit -- leaders over there are telling citizens to lay off the sauce when they get the coronavirus vaccine. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova says Russians who receive the Sputnik V vaccine -- which is administered in 2 phases 21 days apart -- must abstain from alcohol for 42 days ... because it's an immunosuppressant. That's not all -- Russians planning to get the vaccine are also supposed to give up drinking 2 weeks before their first injection. So, that's about 2 months of sobriety for people living in the nation known to be one of the world's leading alcohol consumers. Anna Popova, head of Russia’s consumer watchdog agency, says beer and liquor are a strain on the body, adding ... "If we want to stay healthy and have a strong immune response, don’t drink alcohol." Smoking cigarettes is also being discouraged. So far, Russian officials estimate 100,000 have received the Sputnik V vaccine. We know what you're thinking, and there's no word of a similar instruction for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
My issue as always is that the Ruskies are so secretive and sloppy in their research that you can never find out what the hell is going on. But then mixed in with their sloppy resarch there tends to be real findings but you don't get enough information to make sense of it. If they just laid everything out, the scientific community and public could pick it apart and see what the issue is rather than just taking shots at the Russian buffoons. Alcohol is in fact an immunosuppressant and it has already been reported elsewhere that it could or does lower the response to covid, pneumonia, etc in practice or theory. Maybe the Russians have reconfirmed this and others need to know. Or maybe they are just picking up on and reinforcing a caution based on other studies. Don't know. In open societies you can figure it out much faster.
