Kids’ Swine Flu Shots Recalled; Not Strong Enough
Excerpts from the AP’s Mike Stobbe: The recall is for about 800,000 pre-filled syringes intended for young children, ages 6 months to nearly 3 years. The shots, made by Sanofi Pasteur, were distributed across the country last month and most have already been used, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors were…
How can this be? All residents and staff vaccinated for Covid, then all test positive and 7 die, after zero prior cases
Can it be true? I have put out requests for more information. I have never heard of a situation where EVERYONE in a large group catches an illness. Some people always avoid it. Could something in the vaccine be leading to positive tests? Most tests look for other parts of the virus, not the spike…
Ebola therapeutics from China, Canada, Germany, US: promising but without human testing for Ebola, though the last article suggests already-licensed drugs may be useful
Virus Res. 2014 Jun 12;189C:254-261. doi: 10.1016/j.virusres.2014.06.001. A highly immunogenic fragment derived from Zaire Ebola virus glycoprotein elicits effective neutralizing antibody. Wang Y1, Liu Z1, Dai Q2.

Internal audit slams DHS for canceling technology to fight bio-threats/ WaPo

Oklahoma Guard goes rogue, rejects COVID vaccine mandate after sudden change of command, Governor calls mandate “irresponsible”
A nice shot across the bow. With such a peculiar Presidency (demented, but issuing grandiose orders, and flaunting the rule of law, while being incapable of reaching across the aisle) it will be interesting to see how else Republican states may respond. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2021/11/12/oklahoma-guard-goes-rogue-rejects-covid-vaccine-mandate-after-sudden-change-of-command/ I was told that 26 states have joined actions against federal mandates,…
We Are Ignoring the US’ $440 Million Surge Capacity for Ebola vaccine production
Ebola is killing 60-70% of those affected, even with treatment. Manufacturers say it will take quite a while to produce sufficient supplies of a vaccine, and that bulk manufacturing will only begin after one of several vaccine candidates is chosen. This makes no sense. The US government spent $440 million to help 3 companies develop…
