April 1, 20215 yr Pfizer CEO saying an application filling for FDA approval for 12-15 yr olds is imminent, months earlier than expected. Well tolerated and excellent efficacy results in this age group which bodes well for the next group, 8-11 yr olds hopefully before the end of the year. Get F'ed covid!

April 1, 20215 yr New info over here today. Our plan for all people over 18 getting their first shot is now moved to Aug 15th. This is all due to AZ supply issues, problems in Production facility in Belgium, and US not allowing AZ vaccine export even though there are no plans to use it. So unlucky my family can get vaccinated until the middle of the summer at earliest. btw - Neighbor family has tested positive for the 2nd time. The 1st bout was at least six months back.

April 1, 20215 yr good to know that after 6 mos they're seeing neither a lack of efficacy nor long-term side effects. I'm no anti-vaxxer, and I will be getting it as soon as I am able. but I also think it's reasonable for some to be cautious and skeptical, assuming that's not driven by politics or a broader anti-vax view. I know a few thoughtful and intelligent people who are very pro-vaccination in the general sense, but do harbor some apprehension about vaccines that have not been subject to long term studies.

My wife is skeptical for those reasons but got vaccinated anyway. In the end its still safer to get the shot than to risk getting covid. I can understand why a pregnant woman might not see it that way.

I can understand why a pregnant woman might not see it that way. I know my SIL who works in a hospital says even some nurses and workers are still apprehensive. Especially the younger ones that don't have kids. Just don't know if there are long-term side effects in that department. Not anti-vax people just younger people who are unsure about the long-term. As for me...I put an end to the baby dept not long after the mrs fired out #2, so I have no reservations there. Unless this thing undoes vasectomies. It doesn't do that does it?
April 1, 20215 yr Oh and another co-worker got the vid. That's 3 in the last month after a year of nobody getting it. Bucks needs to get their crap together so I can get my shot.

I can understand why a pregnant woman might not see it that way. I don't disagree, but I can respect someone who is in general pro-vaccine but is a bit more cautious about the COVID vaccines. I'll still be getting it, and I think most absolutely should. 18 minutes ago, rambo said: I know my SIL who works in a hospital says even some nurses and workers are still apprehensive.

You're going to have to keep checking on him. At least for the next several days. I do hope he does well.

April 1, 20215 yr Weekly Sweden update: It looks like we are absolutely in the start of a 3rd wave. It looks like it will be the weakest of the three. #1 was the big one here. #2 was close but didn't quite hit the #1 levels. #3 is about three weeks in and is spurred by the winter sports break for school where for a couple weeks it is like family spring break except in winter. Skiing, cross country skiing, etc. with lots of social after ski, dinners, cabin socializing, etc. Some people go to a cabin where they socialize with a couple other families from other parts of the country that they meet a couple times a year. So the regional lockdown was breeched allowing the virus to spread outside of the normal circle. Restrictions extended thru all of April. Restaurants/bars must close at 8:30pm. All stores, etc. must control capacity based on sqft. Some of the bigger places have a person outside just counting people going in vs. those going out. There are occasionally some lines and people do distance based on lines painted in the floor. The struggle to secure vaccine supplies is the problem. There is a robust distribution network and plenty of tech automation to handle all the admin. There is also plenty of money. The failure lies in the ability to secure the supply chain of the vaccine itself.
