Mon, September 6, 2021, (Reuters) – Europe’s medicines regulator said on Monday it was evaluating data on a booster dose for the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, to be given six months after the second dose in people aged 16 years and older. The European Medicines Agency said it would carry out a speedy evaluation of the data, with an outcome expected “within the next few weeks”. It also added that it was also assessing data on the use of an additional dose of mRNA vaccines in people with weak immune systems. Nick Note: What the hell are they waiting for. The world over two things are heppening. The poiticians are cowtowing to the travel, leisure and restaurnt lobbies and opening things up. AND the hosipitals are filling up again. 25% OF THE PATIENTS HAVE HAD TWO VACCINES. I am not aware of anyone hosiptialized that has had their third vaccine….

Pfizer on track for U.S. vaccine boosters, Moderna lagging, Fauci says
WASHINGTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) – Top U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that officials were likely to soon get the regulatory go-ahead to administer COVID-19 vaccine booster shots made by Pfizer (PFE.N), although Moderna (MRNA.O) booster could take a little longer. Asked on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” about President Joe Biden’s goal to give booster shots starting Sept. 20, Fauci said that “in some respects” that remained the plan. But he said that while Pfizer-BioNTech has submitted the necessary data on booster shots to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Moderna has yet to complete the process. Fauci said he hopes to give both vaccines when boosters doses roll out, but if Moderna does not complete the process before Sept. 20, then Moderna boosters will be given later. Moderna and the FDA did not immediately return emails seeking comment. In a statement released Wednesday, Moderna said it had “initiated its submission” of booster data to the FDA. How – or even whether – to administer boosters has emerged as a thorny issue as COVID-19 continues to kill unvaccinated people around the world. Last month the Biden administration announced it would start offering boosters to Americans by Sept. 20, usurping the process by which the FDA and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention usually decide on such issues, current and former FDA scientists and CDC advisory panel members have told Reuters. Scientists are still debating how much additional immunity boosters provide and whether all Americans should get another shot, rather than just those at high risk of severe illness. Speaking Sunday, Fauci emphasized that both boosters were assumed to be safe, but that the FDA and other officials would study the data to make sure. “When you’re dealing with allowing the American public to receive an intervention, you want to make sure you’re absolutely certain,” he said. Nick Note: its settled bossiness your antibodies drop drastically after 5 to 6 months after the vaccine. EVERYONE we tested had minimal antibodies and required another shot. Antivaccers celebrations aside and nanobots talking to star-ships this is not uncommon. Vaccines require boosters shots. Its conclusive, the vaccines work. Why are we in this discussion?
Back-to-school may lift U.S. retail shares after recent lull
NEW YORK, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Strong late-summer back-to-school sales could provide U.S. retailers some needed momentum after many sector shares lagged the broader market in recent months. The S&P 500 retailing index, which includes Amazon.com Inc, is up just about 2% for the quarter so far, compared with a 6% gain in the S&P 500. Some retailers, including Macy’s Inc and Walmart Inc , cited upbeat back-to-school data recently as they increased annual U.S. sales forecasts, but further sales data and the U.S. August retail report are expected later this month. With the help of advance child tax credits and stimulus checks related to the pandemic, some consumers have had extra cash to load up on backpacks and other supplies.
Most U.S. schools are returning this year to in-class instruction after months of remote learning. New York City’s public schools reopen Sept. 13, and many New York metro area schools begin in the days after the Labor Day weekend, when parents typically continue to pick up school supplies.
Retail shares along with some other value-related sectors tied to the economy have underperformed growth sectors in recent months, said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Hermes, in New York. The S&P value index is up about 2% for the quarter, while the growth index is up more than 8%. But that trend is likely to change, and retail is among the groups that will “catch a second wind here and run through the end of the year … into the beginning of next year,” he said. Holiday sales and back-to-school sales have a strong correlation, he noted. Investors have been optimistic about back-to-school sales given the comparisons with last year, said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. “I don’t think there’s any question that back-to-school is going to be far stronger than last year,” he said. “That’s been somewhat factored into expectations,” he said, noting that retail stocks are still higher than six months ago. Also, supply chain issues could be a drag for some retailers, said Eric Kuby, chief investment officer of North Star Investment Management Corp in Chicago. “Our operating assumption is that it doesn’t get worse. … They are working hard on the supply chain to get products on the shelf,” he said. Shares of some bigger retailers have outperformed, so investors may need to look for bargains, Kuby said. “We haven’t sold any (retail shares) … but our favorite pick in the retail area is Target, and that’s a great stock but it’s not inexpensive,” he said. Target Corp shares are up about 39% for the year to date, compared with about a 14% gain in the S&P 500 retailing index over that same period. Shares of products-related companies might have more room to run, Kuby said, such as ACCO Brands Corp, which his firm owns. “Investors’ attention will pivot more to holiday sales,” he said. “That’s where focus is going to be.” Nick Note: The cynical view is they are opening up the schools without vaccines because of the money, It is my belief. They have opened up sporting events, concerts, flying and hotels even though infections. are at new records. Why? because of the bucks. Some crazy shit!
Report: More Than 20% of U.S. Weekly COVID-19 Cases Were in Children
With back to school in full swing, more children are getting sick with COVID-19, according to a report. The report from The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association found that children accounted for 22% of new coronavirus cases in the week ending Aug. 26. “After declining in early summer, child cases have increased exponentially, with over a five-fold increase the past month, rising from about 38,000 cases the week ending July 22nd to nearly 204,000 the past week,” the report said.
The two weeks ending Aug. 26 saw a 9% increase in the cumulated coronavirus cases in children, which totals nearly 4.8 million. “However, there is an urgent need to collect more data on longer-term impacts of the pandemic on children, including ways the virus may harm the long-term physical health of infected children, as well as its emotional and mental health effects,” the report said.
Many children are returning back to in-person learning without a COVID-19 vaccine available to them.
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week said that from late June to mid-August, cases in people under the age of 17 increased nearly tenfold. She called on those who are eligible to get the shot to do so to protect unvaccinated children. “Communities with high vaccination coverage are seeing lower pediatric cases and hospitalizations,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a press briefing on Thursday. She urged schools to follow CDC guidance and require students, teachers, staff and visitors to wear masks inside. But several states have resisted the CDC’s guidance, and the Biden administration has opened investigations into five Republican-led states – Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah – over whether their mask mandate bans discriminate against students with with disabilities. The Education Department did not include Texas, Florida and other states that also have mask mandate bans in the investigation because their bans are not being enforced due to court orders or other state actions. Nick Note: A society that can not protect its children is doomed….And the parents will let their unvaccinated children go to a school in a plague…… what is this shit????
UK minister: no decision yet on COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children
Oscar De La Hoya hospitalized with Covid, withdraws from Belfort fight
Hall of Fame boxer Oscar De La Hoya has been hospitalized with breakthrough Covid-19, he announced Friday on social media. I mean, what are the chances of me getting Covid? I’ve been taking care of myself and this really, really kicked my a–,” the fighter said in a video from his hospital bed. De La Hoya, 48-year-old, was scheduled to fight Vitor Belfort on Set. 11 in Los Angeles after 13 years away from the ring. The boxer said due to his diagnosis, he had to withdraw. “Preparing for this comeback has been everything to me over the last months, and I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support,” he said in a statement accompanying the video. “I am currently in the hospital getting treatment and am confident I will be back in the ring before the year is up. God bless everyone and stay safe.” De La Hoya’s match with Belfort was going to be the main event of a Triller Fight Club. Co-founder Ryan Kavanaugh told ESPN that Evander Holyfield has agreed to step in and fight Belfort. De La Hoya, also known as “The Golden Boy,” has won 10 world titles in six different weight classes, according to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 2014. He was one of the most popular boxers in the history of the sport, generating hundreds of millions of dollars from his pay-per-view matches, biography.com reported. His last professional fight was a loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2008. The fighter retired the following year. Nick Note: I would think something big is going on here. A fully vaccinated athlete gets the plague and hospitalized. Like i have been telling you if your vaccine is 5 months old its like you are not vaccinated. Look at the video, that is a very sick man. Do not believe the bullshit if you have been vaccinated and get the covid it will be a cake walk. Vaccinated people are getting infected, hospitalized and are getting dead. Vaccinate as in 3rd booster shot, isolate, medicate, mask up, vitamin up and test everyone that comes near your airspace… we still have test kits for now……
Millions of Americans Travel Over the Labor Day Weekend, Despite Covid Outbreaks
Millions of Americans decided to travel over the long Labor Day weekend, despite outbreaks of Covid-19 nationwide. Airports saw passenger numbers jump Thursday and Friday, government data shows, even though Hurricane Ida and its remnants canceled flights across the Northeast and the South, including hundreds in New Orleans. Tens of millions are hitting the roads, too—undeterred by having to pay significantly more at the pump. The average price of a gallon, according to GasBuddy, is $3.19, up a dollar from last year and about 65 cents from 2019—the last Labor Day before the pandemic. Travelers passing through airport checkpoints Thursday and Friday added up to 4 million—1.9 million Thursday and 2.1 million Friday, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The numbers for both dates more than doubled from last year but still didn’t match 2019 totals. The 2019 figures for Sept. 2 and 3—Thursday and Friday—were 2.1 million and 2.2 million, respectively. The TSA emphasized safety precautions against Covid, particularly the fast-spreading, highly contagious Delta variant that is surging in several states in the Southeast. “As the summer draws to an end, we are experiencing continued concern over the COVID-19’s Delta variant and its impact on healthy and secure travel,” TSA spokesman R. Carter Langston told Barron’s in an email Saturday. “We encourage all TSA employees and those who work and pass through the nation’s transportation system to consider being vaccinated and to follow CDC guidance regarding face masks.” Roughly 43 million Americans are putting the rubber to the road—a 1% dip from last year and a 10% drop from 2019, according to Arrivalist. The location data company cited the Delta variant as the reason fewer Americans are willing to travel over the long weekend. Early in the week, the chief of the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had a clear message for Americans who haven’t vaccinated against Covid: Stay home. “First and foremost, if you are unvaccinated, we would recommend not traveling,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told reporters at a White House briefing Tuesday. Walensky said the fully vaccinated—wearing masks—could travel but should consider weigh the risk of the Delta variant “as they think about traveling.” The current seven-day average number of new Covid cases in the U.S. is 153,246, up from the previous seven-day average of 146,087, CDC data shows. The total number of cases reported: 39,488,866 More than half of Americans—52,7%— are fully vaccinated, and 62% have received at least one dose of a vaccine, according to the CDC. Both those numbers are up about 1% from last week. Nick Note: Really?
Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19
https://youtu.be/0GAIA8Ml328
Dr.Pierre Kory (Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance, Prevention & Treatment Protocols for COVID-19) in an attempt to explain the Drug IVERMECTIN. They provide facts and present both side of the argument for alternative & Complementary treatments for Covid-19 along with vaccines. In this interview they discuss and uncover the facts about Ivermectin’s efficacy as drug, the big pharma, its lobbying power at international institutional levels, & social media censorship etc.
Conclusions:
Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified. Nick Note: This medicine has been trashed like nothing in recent memory. Reports in the mass reported on fools who have taken the animal version of this medicine. I have taken this Nobel Prize winning drug FOR YEARS in the tropics. And I am taking it today .As prescribed by my doctor….. I also wear ULPA nano filter masks, isolate, Have gotten 3 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. And i test every swinging dick and bouncing titties at the gate. See the study below published in American Journal of Therapeutics.
