Getting Vaccinated For COVID. We’re Not Safe Until Everyone Is:
So the world has been gripped by the Coronavirus pandemic for almost a year now.
And through that time, we’ve mostly learned to follow the right health-safety practices that protect other people according to the CDC.
By some kind of miracle, we got 2 COVID vaccines in just over 8 months, and 2 more on-deck shortly thereafter.
Even better, people are starting to get vaccinated in increasing numbers and case-counts are falling for the moment.
But even with people getting their shots, another spectre may be popping-up…

Remdesivir For COVID-19, A Strange Case Illustrates Potential Fix:
So one of the biggest problems with the Coronavirus pandemic is the lack of work done ahead of time.
As Dr. Michael Osterholm warned us earlier in the year, a vaccine could have been started 16+ years ago during the SARS outbreak.
Governments continued to ignore the threat even when the next big version of COVID came along in MERS.
Well a strange case just gave us a huge data point for one of the few treatments we have that’s a left-over from a previous virus problem…

New Coronavirus Waves. Two Vaccines Means We’re Saved, Right?:
Now that we have two coronavirus vaccines, and possibly a third if AstraZeneca can get their data straight,
You’d think that the worst is now behind us, and that we can all relax.

Or even people who have mild symptoms they don’t recognize and then turn into non-ironic “Karen”-style reviews of scented-candles!

Pfizer’s Coronavirus Vaccine. A New Hope, With Some Caveats:
So we got our miracle! A Coronavirus vaccine!
What this constitutes in medicine really is kind of amazing.
Even the incredible work done on Ebola was based on elements that had been in the pipeline for years, so this work is like bottled-lightning!
There would have been absolutely nobody in March of this year who guessed a working vaccine by year’s end would be possible or even likely.
