There’s also links more. It’s better to just read it on WPT website.
But it sounds like the new elect-president is doing good finding some wise groups.
Pfizer’s vaccine candidate cleared a major regulatory hurdle this morning. The Food and Drug Administration confirmed its safety and efficacy. It also found evidence that the vaccine, which is given in two doses three weeks apart, began to protect people after the first jab.
But Pfizer has told the Trump administration that it cannot provide substantial additional doses of its vaccine until late June or July, putting the nation’s aggressive vaccination schedule in jeopardy. Last summer, Pfizer officials urged Operation Warp Speed to purchase more doses, but it opted for 100 million, or enough to vaccinate 50 million people. Other countries listed here rushed in to buy the rest of the supply.
The first Pfizer vaccine injections were given in Britain this morning to elderly people and nursing home workers. Among those at the front of the line were a man named William Shakespeare (lots of puns there) and a 91-year-old who said he got the shot so he could hug his granddaughters at Christmas. This is how Britain won the West’s race for a coronavirus vaccine.
Scientists at AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford published their vaccine data in a scientific journal on Tuesday that confirmed earlier claims that it is 70 percent effective overall. Still, it left some questions unanswered. For instance, it remains unproven how well the AstraZeneca vaccine works in those over 55 years of age, a high-risk group of people most likely to experience severe covid-19.
Decades of mistreatment and distrust are preventing physicians from breaking through to the Black community on the importance of coronavirus vaccinations. Black people are nearly three times more likely than White people to die of covid-19, yet fewer than half of Black Americans say they would get a vaccine. Confidence-building efforts have ramped up, but with mixed results.
Other important news
The U.S. Senate’s stimulus negotiations are stuck on whether companies can be sued for virus outbreaks. The White House is pushing the GOP to include $600 stimulus checks.
More than two dozen cities are ramping up efforts to send monthly assistance checks to some residents after a $15 million donation from Twitter’s chief executive.
The number of unaccompanied migrant children testing positive for the coronavirus has jumped more than 35 percent in recent weeks.
Florida police raided the house of a fired data scientist who accused the state of manipulating covid-19 statistics.
President-elect Biden’s choice to run the CDC is a respected specialist who is unafraid to speak her mind.
