I too expect the same but that it will then become just a seasonal Covid-19 vaccination shot just like getting a flu shot every 1 - 2 years although a large % of the population ignore their seasonal flu shots. wrbtrader
Nearly all the COVID vaccine manufacturers have stated they expect the current vaccinations to only be good for 2 or 3 years. Many medical experts have stated they expect the next COVID vaccines that will come out in a couple years as a booster will offer lifetime protection. We will see how it goes. At the same time vaccine manufacturers are speeding up the COVID vaccine development cycle to under 100 days to stay ahead of new variants.
Sitting here watching the nightly propaganda via NBC, they’re talking about the delays and cancellations on vaccine appointments, showing long lines........ then they interview one person standing in line, a 20ish looking female complaining about standing in line all day. Since when are they offering vaccines to anyone other than frontline workers, nursing home and those over 65?
As just outlined seconds ago on NBC News — 22 states are currently vaccinating teachers as well. Many teachers and essential workers are younger.
They didn’t identify this woman as a teacher or anyone in phase 1. If that’s the case fine but it came across as she was just waiting in line in hopes of getting a jab. Blame the Editors.
I blame viewers who can't add up 2+2 and jump to biased conclusions because "nightly propaganda via NBC"
They’re great at pointing out every perceived right wing, conservative flaw and detail in people they are trying to publicly admonish. You’d think they would give the same attention for others that push their narrative. And propaganda is exactly what they report.
Covid-19: C.D.C. Order Requires Masks for Travel in U.S. Last Updated Jan. 31, 2021, 12:25 a.m. ETJan. 31, 2021 Jan. 31, 2021 Countries are tightening borders to evade virus variants. A hospital refrigerator malfunction in Seattle led to a frenzied overnight inoculation drive... The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an order requiring travelers in the United States to wear masks as part of a new initiative aimed at stemming outbreaks of the coronavirus. According to the 11-page order issued on Friday, travelers entering and transiting throughout the country will be required to wear face coverings in all transportation hubs, which the C.D.C. defines as including any “airport, bus terminal, marina, seaport or other port, subway station, terminal, train station, U.S. port of entry or any other location that provides transportation.” The language of the order largely puts the onus on transit operators to enforce the rule. “Conveyance operators must use best efforts to ensure that any person on the conveyance wears a mask when boarding, disembarking and for the duration of travel,” the document said. The new mandate, which comes as the country surpassed 26 million cases, is part of a string of executive orders and directives that President Biden signed on Thursday that aimed to ramp up the new administration’s ambitious goals of containing the latest surge and accelerating vaccine distribution. A similar order was proposed during the Trump administration, but the White House Coronavirus Task Force, led by Vice President Mike Pence, blocked the effort. “Requiring masks on our transportation systems will protect Americans and provide confidence that we can once again travel safely even during this pandemic,” read the order, signed by Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the C.D.C.’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine. “Therefore, requiring masks will help us control this pandemic and aid in re-opening America’s economy.” A footnote in the order states that the C.D.C. reserves the right to enforce the order “through criminal penalties.” But a spokesman for the agency said that the order relied heavily on voluntary action to enforce the mandate. “C.D.C. strongly encourages and anticipates widespread voluntary compliance as well as support from other federal agencies in enforcing this order, to the extent permitted by law,” he said. “C.D.C. will be assisted with implementation by other federal partners, including D.H.S. and D.O.T.,” referring to the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation. The establishment of a national mask mandate for travelers was hailed by public health officials as a necessary step to fix the patchwork of local regulations that at times have let travelers move freely without facial coverings, in spite of ample data showing that mask wearing is key to preventing the spread of the virus. “You needed this kind of coordinated response for quite some time,” said Dr. Melissa J. Perry, a professor of environmental and occupational health at George Washington University. “So, uniform, across the board, everyone, everywhere, being required to wear masks will get us more soon to the end of the pandemic.” https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/01/30/world/covid-19-coronavirus wrbtrader
