It’s something starting just this week locally. I think that it’s about available supply. Some are hypothesizing that a cocktail will offer better protection against variants. They have no data on this. I think that they are simply supporting the governments position of blending.
So, it's all just a bunch of guessing?

Second day in boot camp, 1967, we're standing in front of a major who says, (verbatim) "You will never be the same. We will remove your personality, and replace it with something we can use."



Or you can work for a large corporation. :unsure:
Well, but the corporation might have look askance at kids walking around with a pistol on their hip every day. We got to mess with stuff that went boom. :hyper:

Cream doesn't always rise to the top. For many, a career death means lasting physical and emotional damage.

What I observe at corporate are employees armed with multiple agendas. It's the unstated ones that take some seeing to see.

You got the science on one side and the government on the other. Scientists say ying, government says yang. In the end, the government decides. They make these decisions to try to get everyone protected enough to keep them from dying.

Many countries are delaying the second injection by 3-4 months. The initial logic was that everyone can receive one shot and have some level of protection. This delay is against the manufacturers guidelines. They recommended this in the US but haven’t implemented it for political reasons.

They are behind in their vaccination goals. As of last Wednesday, 137 million Americans were eligible based on age. The number will increase when kids are allowed to receive the treatment. As of this week, under 40% have been vaccinate with at least one injection. Getting the others is proving difficult for many reasons. Only 25.7% have been fully vaccinated. There’s a long road ahead. Originally they wanted everyone covered by this summer. That ain’t going to happen.

A number of side effects have presented themselves with the J&J vaccine. The CDC has just recommended a pause in distribution till things can be sorted out. The side effects include a sudden and severe headache, backache, new neurological symptoms, severe abdominal pain, shortness of breath, leg swelling, tiny red spots on the skin and new or easy bruising. In rare cases there are blood clots. If you don’t have any of the symptoms with this product, you are fine. The problem is, people have some of those symptoms without the vaccine. Same holds true for covid symptoms.

Policies change on a daily basis.
