Some people are claiming it is not a vaccine, but instead a "gene therapy". I'll wait till a real vaccine comes along, like AZ or sputnic.
Get a poop test to see which infections you have, if any. Different diseases need different medicines. Testing should be done 3 times on different days but in the culture of cheap that rarely...
Looks like Sleepy Joe declared peace on Yemen much faster than Trump declared peace on Syria.
Maybe Joe wants to start his own wars?
Election fraud is short term problem. By 2024 election the dems will have 5 million more voters and they won't have to cheat. Democracy may prove to be the best and longest lasting form of...
Some good news here, too. This afternoon the little woman was in the kitchen and heard horrible screaming from the neighbor lady. She went to investigate and it seems the woman's son fell thru the...
Speaking of solar, we have a solar clothes dryer. Works most of the time, up to Nica standards? Hard part is the high tech- Nicaraguan clothes pins. Too weak, too complicated, short life span...

When you look at all the jail time already served by so many people you can't help to wonder if the govmint just doesn't have anything to do.
And they want to put a people-smuggler on the 20 dollar...
Sounds reasonable. If I want to make a family/MH visit to the US I will need 4 tests minimum for the round trip.
Just saw there is a Brit study to see if it is possible to mix the first and second shot between brands. That should take a couple years to sort out. Interesting that the rusky shot is 2 slightly...
Many governments won't buy-in to a card until there is some sort of proof of the efficacy of the vaccines. Given different vaccines being given all over the world that would be tough to document....

Your govmint has champagne tastes in hotels! And what if after 3 days you are not cleared? Do you have "FEMA" camps to put them in?

They don't want to rub it in just yet.
CDC seems to be in the CDC business now. Covid test to get in the US, plus another when you arrive, plus 7 day self-quarantine. Nobody asks why they didn't do this last January with all the flights...
True, true...
I predict with a little coaxing the Supreme Court will soon allow one to marry his dog or cat-- and be praised for it!
Even if 31 states oppose it.
Being "black" es mas rentable. The Indian Ambassador will just have to suck an egg or something.
You gets the award for the most communication with the fewest words!
I wonder if the Chinese Ambassador is attending?
