US FDA authorizes Covid-19 vaccines for youngest children
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorized two Covid-19 vaccines for children aged 5 and under, opening the door for vaccinating millions of the youngest American children.
The agency authorized Pfizer-BioNTech’s (PFE.N), vaccine for children aged 6 months to 4 years, and Moderna Inc’s (MRNA.O) shot for those 6 months to 17 years. The Pfizer vaccine is already authorized for use…

Moderna is testing a bivalent booster that targets the ancestral SARS - CoV - 2 and the Omicron variant .
Preliminary data show that a booster with this vaccine elicits higher levels of neutralizing antibodies against Omicron and other variants of concern as compared to the existing vaccine .
More data are needed to know how long protection lasts ( we currently have 1 month of data post booster ) .
Some have concerns that SARS - CoV - 2 is mutating faster than vaccines can be modified , but these data are promising . It is possible we will have a modified annual vaccine to address emerging variants .
Moderna plans to submit the interim analysis and data to regulators for review in the coming weeks . THE UNBIASED SCIENCE PODCAST 3
It is interesting how much math comes into even the most basic of like. Making things. Making almost anything. And often not numbers necessarily but proportions and geometry. I think all the time about how castles were built with geometry at the heart of it. And I use the same kind of proportional math to make socks fit. And none of my pieces are ever knit with a prime number of stitches--because you use factors to make neat colorwork and ribbing and different stitches. Idk ! I remember constantly thinking 'how the hell is THIS gonna come in useful ?' But it always does. Math is at the heart of everything, and knowing how to apply it is a tool of critical importance to Thinking Up A Shape And Making It.
Two Idaho lawmakers have introduced a bill to charge those who administer mRNA vaccines with a misdemeanor.
Sen. Tammy Nichols, R-Middleton, and Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, sponsored HB 154. It was introduced in the House Health & Welfare Committee on Feb. 15 by Nichols. According to the bill text, "A person may not provide or administer a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid technology for use in an individual or any other mammal in this state."
That person would then be charged with a misdemeanor.
Nichols said during her presentation to the committee, "We have issues this was fast tracked."
Nichols said there is no liability, informed consent or data on mRNA vaccines. She later clarified she was referring to the two COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna.
"I think there is a lot of information that comes out with concerns to blood clots and heart issues," Nichols said.
Rep. Ilana Rubel, D-Boise, questioned Nichols' statement that the vaccines were fast-tracked. She said her understanding was that the vaccines were approved and survived the testing, later approved by the FDA.
Nichols said she is finding it "may not have been done like we thought it should've been done."
"There are other shots we could utilize that don't have mRNA in it," Nichols said.
MRNA is a molecule that assists in making proteins. The COVID-19 vaccines, which are known as mRNA vaccines, help your body make proteins that mimic the COVID virus to help bodies fight off the infection, according to John Hopkins Medicine. MRNA was discovered in the early 1960's, John Hopkins states. Some were used to fight the Ebola virus. Researchers are also currently working to use mRNA to prevent other respiratory viruses.
The bill requires a future vote in the committee to pass onto the House floor for debate.
An Edmonton constable who spoke at a "Freedom Convoy" rally, thanked protesters and posted a video suggesting vaccine mandates were "unlawful" and "unsafe" was sanctioned ten months of pay before being permitted to return to the job.
Edmonton Police Service Const. Elena Golysheva "acknowledged the inappropriateness of her actions" during a disciplinary hearing in June, according to documents CTV News Edmonton obtained through the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
I will continue amplifying voices like this re: the latest public health crisis, monkeypox, because the media isn’t. I’m not about to watch the LGBTQ community be victimized by our system’s incompetence or be villainized by the Right if this spreads further and we’re then blamed as we were for HIV/AIDS.
