Biden Announces First Moronic Act

al first.

Did you even read the article? The last paragraph states:

-------------(quote)-------------- Scott Gottlieb, a former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner under

President Trump, has been calling for making this change in strategy to accelerate vaccinations for weeks.

?This is a prudent move that will help expand Covid vaccine acces s to more high risk patients at a time when the epidemic is worsening, and the vaccine can be an important backstop,? he tweeted Friday in r esponse to Biden?s announcement.

Oh.....but Trump knows more than anybody....about everything......

A good number of patriotic Americans are really fed up:

That may be the case (and I was never in any doubt to whom you were referring) - but it's still completely wrong. Surely you are not the kind of person to write something you know to be wrong, just to follow a crowd of people who don't know better? (Maybe you didn't know it was wrong - in which case, contrary to long-standing s.e.d. tradition, you've learned something!)

Yes, the government should release all the vaccine, and base on how fast th ey are actually vaccinated. So, slow states and health care providers shou ld not get any more vaccines. It doesn't make sense to release more just t o store them more in local facilities.

I don't miss anything. But apparently you do.

Do you even know anything about Gottlieb? For one thing he's a fake MD, he doesn't have any knowledge or experience in a single area of research or pr actice that would lend any credibility to his *opinion*. He's a career fina ncial investor posing as policy analyst to advance his business interests. You're a simple minded fool to quote that pharma/ health insurance industry shill. Maybe you can understand why he's a Trump political appointee. People like you are better off sticking to reading Soldering Iron Today mag azine, anything else just confuses you.

Gottlieb wasn't talking about that. He was talking about delaying/skipping the second dose out to 12 weeks to never from the prescribed 3 weeks for Pf izer. He's not an immunologist and doesn't know what he's talking about. W hat more proof of his corruption and idiocy than he's the opinion and consu ltant of choice for nearly all the mass media. Wake up.

Dr. Gottlieb is also on the board for Pfizer since he left the FDA in

2019 - would that not make his comments relevant and in line with Pfizer's recommendations?

I don't think highly of most of Trumps appointees, but Dr. Gottlieb at least sounds competent. Must have been an aberration on Trump's part to actually get someone who knew something about the role he was being called to play.

I also don't know how I feel about his going to Pfizer from the FDA, Ms Warren called it a poor ethical decision on his part.

Perhaps it was. I don't know enough to comment on that.

He still seems competent on this subject.

There appears to be some flexibility on the 21 day recommended 2nd dose.

Dr. Nabha said that there is more flexibility for those who get the second vaccine later than requested.

"If you're missing it by a few weeks," she said. "It's highly unlikely to be a significant issue. But if we're talking about several months, you might need to be re-vaccinated."

Overall, our experts agree that the best course of action is to get the second dose when requested.

"You want to stick to that second date as closely as possible," said Dr.

Nabha.

I believe that Dr. Gottlieb's point is, better to have one dose than none .

As supplies become available then the 2nd shot can likely be given soon enough to still be efficacious.

We don't really know how long is the vaccine protection. We might need to re-vaccinate every 6 months anyway. So, single shot for everybody every 6 months.

It doesn't seem that unreasonable.

Like so many things, it involves a risk-benefit analysis. The risk associated with doing it is that the next dose will not be available when required, because of some manufacturing problem.

The risk associated with not doing it is that it will slow the rate of vaccination.

Gottlieb doesn't practice medicine so stop calling him a doctor. I think th e reason he had to step down from the FDA was because he had to recuse hims elf from so much decision making due to financial entanglements, it became a farce to even have him in the job.

It's clear he's pushing the single-/delayed- dosing of the vaccine because it will actually mean more vaccine sales for Pfizer. The vaccination is no doubt less effective, and it is known the immunity won't last as long. And Pfizer can name its own price as populations panic with very high rates of infection and serious illness. The first dose can be a really weak response , something like 0.1% the antibody titers from a booster.

Biden's plan is moronic.

e it will actually mean more vaccine sales for Pfizer.

How? Pfizer is going to be able to sell all the vaccine it can produce for a least a year, and probably a lot longer, until the entire world has been vaccinated. Since Covid-19 does mutate, vaccine-evasive strains will probab ly appear soon enough to let them keep on selling a new version of the vacc ine for quite while longer.

They have plenty of data on people who recovered from the first SARS to sup port this hypothesis. Some of the survivors still maintain an effective imm une response six years on.
