How a vaccine is developed, a step-by-step guide

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Thirty-five percent of people in the U.S. don’t plan on getting the coronavirus vaccine once it’s available, according to a recent poll. Health officials are concerned if not enough people are willing to get it, the U.S. won’t achieve the ultimate goal of herd immunity and...

Under state law, only people with a medical exemption could refuse the mandate.

The Virginia General Assembly is considering a bill during an ongoing special session that would allow people with religious opposition to opt-out of the requirement. The bill needs to clear a committee in the House of Delegates before the full chamber could vote on it.

Coronavirus vaccine: Short cuts and allegations of dirty tricks in race to be first

Russia, China, the US and UK see a vaccine as a projection of their scientific prowess.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com
“I have never seen the political stakes for a medical product being so intense,” says Lawrence Gostin, professor of global health law at Georgetown University in the US. “The reason the Covid-19 vaccine has taken on such political symbolism is that the superpowers have seen the vaccine as projecting their scientific prowess, actually validating their political system as superior.”

CNA Staff, Aug 24, 2020 / 03:10 pm MT (CNA).- The Archbishop of Sydney, Australia, has called on the country’s government to fund an ethical coronavirus vaccine not derived from the cells of aborted children.

Archbishop Anthony Fisher, OP, joined the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney Dr Glenn Davies and the Primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, Archbishop Makarios, in signing a letter to the Australian government on August 20.

They expressed their concerns that a vaccine to be distributed by the government for the new coronavirus “will raise serious issues of conscience for a proportion of our population,” while noting that it “may be sufficiently remote from the abortion that occasioned the derivation of the cell-line.”

In a Monday column for The Catholic Weekly titled “Let’s not create an ethical dilemma,” Archbishop Fisher called on the Australian government to fund the distribution of an ethical vaccine for the new coronavirus.

“I’m a strong advocate of vaccinations – and not just for COVID-19 – as long as they are safe and ethically obtained,” the archbishop wrote. “There are ethically untainted alternatives: let’s pursue those.”

South Dakota began their annual 10-day motorcycle rally on Friday which is expected to draw 250k tourists from around the country. No masks or social distancing requirements, so we’ll have to wait a couple weeks to see how that worked out. But we already know there was no spike of infections from their July 3 celebration at least. She’s letting the people free to act responsibly.

Well, Minnesota Department of Health has just reported as of today in Minnesota alone, there have been 44 cases of covid-19 traceable to the Sturgis motorcycle rally, with 2 requiring hospitalization and one of those is in the ICU. Also contact tracing has confirmed additional community spread traceable to those 44 attendees from Minnesota. So, I guess the SD plan did not work out all that well after all. Thank’s a lot, Kristi Noem.

If you really assert what you are saying show me where you have criticized Newsom for NOT following Governor Noem’s leadership. (Of course you cannot show me that.)

A LOT of California is quite rural and very sparsely populated in many areas.

Instead Newsom uses a draconian cookie-cutter approach.

Los Angeles the same as rural California.

Your words tell me you affirm what you are saying.
Your actions tell me you don’t affirm what you are saying here.

If you read my post just before yours you will see that even in South Dakota when a large group gathers in close quarters without any covid precautions, covid spreads. And not only to South Dakota, but here in Minnesota when they come back from Sturgis.

But nobody is saying don’t take any precautions.

I am fine with you deciding to take precautions or me.

But I have a big issue with politicians doing this across the board with no or very little science (but a lot of politics) to back them up.

We both know mask mandates the way they are employed are foolish any cloth, masks while driving ALONE, mask worn on your chin, etc.)

Like AJ Sears rhetorically pointed out when he quipped that he wears a condom when he is ALONE in the car to prevent STDs. . . .

Masks benefit nobody here. It is non-sense.
And everybody knows it’s nonsense.

But you are inventing “me” (not “me” personally) putting “you” (not “you” personally) at risk.

I think you should explain how “me” driving around without a mask on, puts “you” at risk of anything infectious.

I also want to know how people wearing masks on their chins is any more beneficial than no masks

Or leftist politicians excuse-making for leftist rioters. How does that save humanity?

No, I showed how poor decisions made by the attendees at the Sturgis rally has put me here in Minneapolis at greater risk by increasing the number of covid cases here. I am directly affected. It is not invented. It is a fact.

Not you driving around, but you (not really you) attending a huge motorcycle rally where few precautions of any kind were taken and then bringing that disease back home to my neighborhood. It is the same reasoning by which Trump banned travel from China - to avoid the poor decisions made by the Chinese from affecting us here in the US. But we in Minnesota cannot ban travel from South Dakota. Nor should we have to, if South Dakota took this pandemic seriously.

Then WHY NOT criticise Newsom’s mandates that state I must?

And me getting groceries put you “at risk” too.

Sturgis put you “at risk” last year for influenza virus too.

Where were your posts then?
if South Dakota took this pandemic seriously.

A few posts ago you were telling me that the reason they in South Dakota are doing well is their low population.

Now you are attempting to get me to think South Dakota isn’t taking this seriously.

Which is it Leaf?

I saw something online (hopefully fake) about masks being mandatory while visiting a cemetery.
 
Well, she didn’t force anyone to come to the event. Sturgis was anticipating a lower attendance this year due to the virus, but nearly half a million showed up anyway.

Mass testing has been ongoing since the rally. The past few days revealed hundreds of new cases around SD. Only 88 cases so far have been tied to the rally. 61 new cases are of kids age 10 to 19.

Minnehaha county is where their largest majority of cases are clustered, and that is right at the border with Minnesota.

Most people will shrug off the virus and be fine. Hospitalizations are the concern, and have increased to around 80 today. But sadly there were also 3 new deaths.

CNN guest Dr. Rob Davidson says that social distancing isn’t as big of a concern at the March on Washington as it was last night at President Trump’s speech because “this is a public health crisis they are marching against. Systemic racism has taken so many lives in this country”

I just love this laser focus on cases emanating from Sturgis as opposed to the near complete absence of reporting on cases emanating from the protests.

Speaking of CA, I grew up there and while everyone thinks of the coastal cities, there are significant parts of the state that are quite rural and a fair number of parts of the state that are just as remote as almost any other place in the other 47 continental states.

I notice that Governor Newsom finally listened to the criticism and has gone back to a county by county model. However, Newsom’s regulations are still far too strict given that the the 7 day average of confirmed cases has declined by 42% in the last two weeks.
