The only way to end this Pandemic is if the majority of the people around the World get vaccinated.

It's amazing that several vaccines have already been developed in record time and thus far they all show very good results as far as creating some level of immunity against Covid19 without causing any major side effects and supposedly even if those who have been vaccinated come down with the disease it won't be at the more severe levels that require hospitalization.

There are many companies that are working on the vaccine although the top contenders currently are Moderna, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca:

I personally would be first in line to get the vaccine as I am in the older category with some history of heart problems and although I believe that everyone should be free to make their own choices, but this will only be effective in stopping the Pandemic if the majority of the people (like over 80% or so) get vaccinated.

Please do your own research about the vaccines and indicate your choice in the poll (visible to all) and post any justification for your decision as to whether you are going to get the vaccine or not below.

China and WHO made mistakes in containing Covid outbreak, says panel



" An independent panel has said that Chinese officials could have applied public health measures more forcefully in January 2020 to curb the initial Covid-19 outbreak, and criticised the World Health Organization (WHO) for not declaring an international emergency until 30 January. "

Covid Response Was a Global Series of Failures, W.H.O.-Established Panel Says


" An interim report is both a bleak recounting of deadly missteps and an early blueprint for repairs: “We have failed in our collective capacity.” "

The one year anniversary of Covid is here,

But It's still not too late to get this Pandemic under control if everyone gets on board in doing the right thing,

Put profits aside as the first priority,

Get the Vaccine to the people who want it promptly and immediately,

Encourage everyone to cooperate in abiding by the safety guidelines and protocols for the Pandemic specially when it comes to wearing masks, physical distancing, washing hands, proper sanitizing, staying home when symptoms are present, not attending crowded gatherings indoors, avoiding unnecessary travel, and not to do any hugging, kissing, handshakes, or bumping shoulders even when wearing a mask,

Expand testing and tracking and make them easier, quicker, and more accurate,

Support further research in containing new mutations of the virus, and share all data regarding any and all successes or adverse effects,

Support those who are experiencing hardship, (it's not that hard to find out who they are),

And hopefully we can bring this Pandemic to an end within the next six months,

Otherwise expect to see 75 to 100 million fatalities around the World in the next 10 years.

IMO

SARS-CoV-2 needs cholesterol to invade cells and form mega cells

" To cause COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 virus must force its way into people's cells—and it needs an accomplice. Cholesterol, the waxy compound better known for clogging arteries, helps the virus open cells up and slip inside, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Clifford Brangwynne's lab reports. "

Israel recommends coronavirus vaccine for pregnant women, marking a shift as some countries reassess risk


" When some countries began rolling out coronavirus vaccines late last year, each put forward its own criteria for which populations to prioritize — a list that, for the most part, excluded or cautioned against the inclusion of women who were breastfeeding, pregnant or expected soon to be pregnant.

This precaution resulted from an absence of information rather than any directly negative data. Pregnant women were excluded from the first round of human trials, as is common for such studies.

But in some places, including Israel and Britain, the guidance has shifted as scientists learned more about the vaccines and fears mounted over highly transmissible variants of the virus. "

Don't take pain relievers before your COVID-19 vaccine, experts say, warning it could make the shot less effective

  • " Experts advise against taking over-the-counter painkillers before the coronavirus vaccine, as they may interfere with an optimal response.
  • After the vaccine, avoid taking pain meds to cope with side effects unless you've discussed it with your doctor.
  • Keep your immune system strong before and after your vaccine by limiting alcohol, getting enough sleep, and drinking plenty of water. "

Single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine 66 percent effective against moderate and severe illness
