Vaccines Work

Recent Stuff from Peter Zeihan @PeterZeihan on 2/11/21
There are three types of vaccines: sterilizing
immunity, infection prevention, and symptom reducing. We know
the new Covid vaccines reduce symptoms for certain, but if they
can prevent infection that would be brilliant.

4. Trump CV Pandemic Response.
The Trump administration has weakened crucial worker protections Occupational Safety and Health Administration-OSHA refused to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard to protect workers during the pandemic. OSHA failed to enforce the Occupational Safety and Health Act despite nearly 10,000 CV-19 complaints. Only issued a handful of citations for failure to protect workers. Centers for Disease Control-CDC guidelines allowed essential workers to continue working with asymptomatic provided employer implements additional precautions.Department of Labor (DOL) excluded millions of workers from paid CV leave provisions including 9 million health care workers and 4.4 million first responders, before revising the rule after a federal judge invalidated parts of the original rule in August. Further, at first Trump vehemently opposed the extension of the $600 increase of unemployment insurance benefits and additional aid to state and local governments.

1/7: Trump’s fight with China continues to haunt us as the administration refuses to join the Covid-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility . Trump said he did not want to be constrained by “corrupt World Health Organization and China”. Yet China may be the best bet... China has a more balanced portfolio of potential COVID-19 vaccines as well as an actual track record for vaccine development. By ignoring global collaboration, we are quite literally PUTTING ALL OF OUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET3/7: China or any other country should beat America to the finish line in vaccine development, membership in WHO would likely put us on the fast-track to sharing in those benefits. And now ender's President Trump’s withdraw from the WHO. Editor: US has all the money so we may be able to pay our way into getting the vaccine in a reasonable time.
4/7: An American ‘WHO EXIT’ will have major implications for healthcare and public
health efforts globally and domestically. Top WHO priorities such as polio
eradication and Universal Health Coverage will suffer globally at the loss of
American funding

5/7: Even if you aren’t worried about global health... “WHOEXIT”
will further reduce America’s power in the global community.
It will fracture mutually beneficial relationships with numerous countries
across the globe, influencing economic and global security. 6/7: Whether or not President Trump is elected for a second term, the administration has sent a strong signal to the global health community that America’s official position, for now, is non-cooperation. 7/7: WHO is the only body capable of leading and coordinating the global response to COVID-19. As infection rates and mortality continue to rise in the US and many other countries have flattened the curve, this is the worst possible time for the US to shun its global allies

Notes from recent @gummibear737
rant At first nobody was against a virus shutdown.
Scared people had little information. CNN, Hardball and other mass media outlets abandonedrational thought and meaningful dialogue among opposing scientists. Politicians and media profits determine acceptable science. I have had three EUREKA moments during the pandemic: I calculated age-based Infection Fatality Rate and realized all would not die and those < 60 could work.
I believed that Dr. Levitt's burnout theory was
I accepted that the "Asian/Oceana Immunity" correct models" centered on Pre-Existing T-Cell "effective
immunity" were best.

Pandemics Prevention Has Improved
See What You Should Know About CVF-19
Most States Have Slowed the Pandemic
Cases Down, Hospitalizations Down, Deaths Will Follow
Hotspot States, Even With Increased New Deaths, Still Have Fewer Deaths
See
Minimalist Michael Levitt @MLevitt_NP2013
US COVID19 will be done in 4 weeks with a total reported death below 170,000.How will we know it is over?
Like for Europe, when all cause
excess deaths are at normal levels for
week is a basic prediction.
Editor 9/25/20: Recent Increases Has
proved this very optimistic prediction wrong. When anyone one says follow the science they mean follow "our" science.

Fewer Cases Turn into Fatalities
Opening Schools Requires Much Coordination 1) Level of #covid19 in community? 2) Child's & family risk? 3) Safety protocols in place? 4) Is there virtual option? 5) Specific needs for family? |

Coronavirus News You May Have |
Trump illogical rants need to be discussed.
Trump: Testing just indicates more cases.
Media Interpretation" Testing causes sickness.
Reality: Sickness is what it is. Testing is of some interest
but number one interest is rates of change for hospitalizations,
ventilation patents and fatilities.
New confirmed\cases really can not be compared. US vs. Europe
