I really wish this would stop being reported. It is 15 people out of almost 7 MILLION. There is no credible connection to the vaccine and it is statistically less than zero. The odds of dying from taking Tylenol are exponentially higher.
Although, as I saw pointed out, the deaths preceded the advice to avoid heparin, and there have been none since. We do actually need these things reported. And as we've learned there are some doctors, nurses and PAs who believe their social media feed over the CDC. We also need people to use information reporting responsibly, but that's another thing.

If only we could develop and distribute vaccines overnight. Although, the Pfizer one kinda was... But I was more thinking about the steps we took in the earlier parts of the pandemic before we had vaccination in our tool box. For next time, while we are waiting on the more permanent solution.
Gotcha. I was thinking short-sided. Agree that this is a good lesson for going forward.
Any building or business seeking rehab permits or a new certificate of occupancy should be held to a new, higher, standard.

I say cram all the unvaccinated people into 2 sections and give the vaccinated people the rest of the stadium to spread out maskless. And require proof of vaccination to use the bathroom. Now THAT'S an incentive to get the shot.
Reminds me of the old smoking sections in restaurants.. cram the smokers in one area while other sitting 10 feet away were in the non smoking section. The good old days.😃

I remember walking through a smoking car on Amtrak back in the 80s. My eyes and lungs were burning, and even with this brief exposure, my clothes stunk.

I'm sure walking through the un-vaccinated section would be equally as pleasurable.

I remember one pub like that, only they put up plexiglass between the sections. There was a door, and while you could see the other side, the glass went all the way to the ceiling. I mean, you could mostly see the other side, through the haze....

When is pandemic not a pandemic?

Tuned into the CDC J&J meeting for a bit. Sounds like a majority are leaning strongly to either reaffirming the current 18+ recommendation, or 18+ with notation women <50 may be at an increased risk of TTS but can choose to receive an alternative vaccine.
Make sense. A decision like that is way above my pay grade and education, but the relative risk seems low if a woman wanted to receive a more convenient vaccine and take the (very, very) low risk. I also wouldn't have been particularly bothered by some type of age/gender selection bias, but the logistics of dose shipment and allocation probably get crazy ridiculous if we were to follow that rabbit hole too far.

What I think nobody really expected would have been a complete pull of the vaccine.


While these folks are convening, can we have them discuss 12-15 year olds and Pfizer authorization? Only kind of kidding.

Maybe Disney can relax the social distancing now, based on the following study. I've always thought indoor social distancing is a waste of time, being that the air just sits there and gets recycled.

MIT researchers say you’re no safer from Covid indoors at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies​


Looks like masks still get the thumbs up from them though. Sucks for folks wanting both out of the picture last year.

OK... for more perspective....
Our county and 4 other counties that surround ours add up to about 223,000 population. There have been a total of 235 cases over the last 14 days. That is an average of about 16.8 cases per day for a population of about 223,000. I'm just trying to give us all some hope.

That is hopeful! I just found that one post a little... dramatic (but again that's rather pot kettle black of me).

Yes please, the sooner the 12-15 group is approved the better. We've already has the 16-19 age group reach 16.5% first dose. In 22 days of eligibility here that's a decent rate. The only Pfizer site here has appointments booked until may 12th, Moderna I could book tomorrow so demand is there. Once they do authorize, maybe states will look at limiting the Pfizer to 12-17 for new appointments. They'd be able to knock out the age group and steer 18+ towards the Moderna or hopefully J&J.
