Pfeizer has asked for full FDA approval. That would make it easier for schools etc to require vaccination
I would like to see vaccinations required in most workplaces. This virus needs to be eradicated for good, if at all possible.
Yes, full FDA approval makes a big difference legally in terms of what can be required. It’s hard to mandate a vaccine with only emergency use authorization. Different story with regular approval.
The Swan Boats have returned to the Public Garden. Masks and social distancing required on board. 🙂
I wouldn’t want to take a trip today or tomorrow though. Brrrrrr!
My mom took my children every year. We read make way for the ducklings just before. I still see her sitting beside them on the boats 🙂
Oh Joshua. I know my mom went in the early 1900s as a child which is why she always wanted to go with my children. This is so special. Thank you very much for sharing
Yes, Thanks Joshua. I love photos of “old” Boston. 🙂
Indian doctor from New Jersey dies of Covid-19. See tweet below. He was fully vaccinated (Pfizer). Sad story and also a reminder that vaccines are not 100% preventive of death. The data we have on vaccine efficacy only pertain to the variants included in the trials, not some of the newer variants. I believe Pfizer and other vaccines will have some efficacy against newer variants. But, I think that efficacy is reduced, and perhaps by a lot. The variant circulating in India – B.1.617 – has a lot of unknowns attached to it. I believe it’s not only more transmissible (that’s obvious), but more lethal, impacts younger population as well as older, and may have vaccine-evading properties. Similar story applies to P.1, but for P.1 we have more data suggesting vaccines work to a large degree. https://twitter.com/DrJudyStone/status/1390767825799815174
C-19 for 5-8 is ready.

I love this image from the very early 1900s (may even be late 1800s) of a swan boat. I made a small poster of it and it’s in the hallway leading to my apartment. https://swanboats.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/02_1000.jpg
