Can Vaccines Be Mixed? Oxford To Test Efficacy Of Combos
With multiple covid vaccines available, British researchers will study the changes to efficacy of giving one Pfizer dose and one AstraZeneca dose. Current UK and U.S. guidelines say not to interchange the shots.
AP: Britain To Test Mixing And Matching Of COVID-19 VaccinesBritish scientists are starting a study Thursday to find out if it’s OK to mix and match COVID-19 vaccines. The vaccines being rolled out now require two doses, and people are supposed to get two shots of the same kind, weeks apart. Guidelines in Britain and the U.S. say the vaccines aren’t interchangeable, but can be mixed if the same kind isn’t available for the second dose or if it’s not known what was given for the first shot.

The Guardian: Covid: Oxford Trial To Test Efficacy Of Mix Of Vaccines For IndividualsWith the steady supply of vaccines always in question, the researchers said the information they collect would be useful not only for the UK but for the whole world. There is also the possibility that giving an individual two different vaccines in a row might give greater protection against the more infectious Covid variants that have emerged in the UK, South Africa and Brazil. (Boseley, 2/4)
Reuters: Britain Trial To Test Combining Pfizer And AstraZeneca Vaccines In Two-Shot Regimen Over 800 participants [are] expected to take part, the researchers said. That makes it much smaller than the clinical trials that have been used to determine efficacy of the vaccines individually. The trial will not assess the overall efficacy of the shot combinations, but researchers will measure antibody and T-cell responses, as well as monitor for any unexpected side effects. (2/3)
Bloomberg: Astra, Pfizer Covid Vaccines To Be Combined In Oxford TrialMixing vaccines to create an enhanced immune response is common for inoculations targeting diseases such as hepatitis A and B. Combining shots can boost the immune response because the second shot won’t be limited by any immunity the body has built up to the platform delivering the first vaccine. Both the Astra and Pfizer shots target the spike protein that the virus uses to enter cells. The British drugmaker’s vaccine is carried by a weakened chimpanzee adenovirus, while the U.S. company’s shot uses genetic material called messenger RNA. (Ring, 2/4)

The Super Bowl surge is coming and the Spring Break surge is coming and the UK variant which is now going wild in foul filthy Florida is going to make it much worse. If you read this Uncle Billy, die you filthy MAGAt!
You can blame Trump or thank Trump for the fact that that most of the COVID-19 deaths have been his scumbag reporters but even if we had a competent and moral president the results would have been about the same. Anyone who would support Trump is a filthy scumbag and deserve to die. We will see well over 500,000 deaths by mid February. and most of the will be MAGAts.
COVID-19 will become endemic by August 2021 and there will be hot spots in Republican districts. This virus will do a slow burn. It will kill off many more MAGAts in the next few years and that will Make America Great Again.
Even bleeding heart liberals are fed up with the MAGAts and are glad those fuckers are dying.
"I’ve spent a solid month insisting with myself that I was not going to be the kind of person who would wish mortal illness and death on people for being pig-headed, gullible, biddable and brutally stupid. I’ve reached the point where I no longer care what they do to themselves. The problem is: communities don’t divide neatly between idiots and victims who know better but have no choice — people who have to go to work and put themselves at daily risk because the alternative is to starve. If we could corral the stupid people in pens — or release them on a savannah somewhere to run wild and indulge their ‘freedom’ fetish, so that they did not endanger people with better sense — I’d be perfectly ok with the ‘let them rot’ sentiment, at this point. But they are a health menace to other people."
The MAGAts were warned again and again and a again and they chose to ignore those warning as they pretended to believe Trump's lies. Most of them knew the risk but they decided to roll the dice. Play as stupid game and win a stupid prize.
We are at war. MAGAts will continue their terrorist attacks for years to come. Dead MAGAts can't attack humans. I hope to see the day when some of the MAGAt figure out who the real enemy is and instead of storming the US Capitol they storm corporate boardrooms. That probably will never happen because MAGAts are too busy hating actual humans and the are easily led by trash like Sean Hannity.
The last generation to witness Republicans who were not total scumbags were the baby boomers and even then, Republicans were scumbags. For every Dwight Eisenhower you had a couple of Richard Nixons or Spiro Agnews, Back then Republicans were at worst thieves and liar but today's Republicans are pedophiles, traitors and insurrectionists. And I'm not only talking about trash like Josh Hawley, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Madison Cawthorn, I'm talking about every scumbag who would vote for a Republican.
The Republican base is most of the reason for why there are so few moral Republican in Washington. Truth is the enemy of the GOP base.
Lindsey Graham sure acts like a sexually blackmailed Israeli agent.
To understand this we need to unpack the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Ghislaine (whose name means “filth” in Arabic) Maxwell, daughter of Mossad superspy Robert Maxwell, was Epstein’s Mossad handler…or one of them. Ehud Barak was another. Epstein’s job was to pimp young girls to powerful people and get compromising photos and videos, which Israel uses to control the United States. Despite Epstein’s “suicide” there are still plenty of Epstein-types out there, many pushing underage males as well as females.
Lindsey Graham is a fanatical pro-Israel neocon and a reputed homosexual. And the fact that he is sexually blackmailed is an open secret in Washington. MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle once said it on national television. And Jon Cooper, chairman of the Democratic Coalition super PAC, accused Graham of letting himself be blackmailed for “some pretty serious kink.”
After Trump was elected, Israel seems to have ordered never-Trumper Graham to reverse himself and befriend Trump. Like Jared Kushner, Graham appears to have been appointed as one of Trump’s Israel-friendly handlers.
Given Trump’s popularity with evangelicals, it may seem odd that his favorite golf buddy is a flaming, barely-closeted homosexual senator from South Carolina. Trump has implied that unlike Obama he doesn’t feel comfortable around Muslims. But he obviously feels very comfortable with arch-homosexual and likely blackmailed pedophile Lindsey Graham. Maybe that’s because Trump himself is more than familiar with that world. Trump got his start as Roy Cohn’s boy toy, and is still very close to a certain 9/11-perp pervert named Rudy Giuliani.
Is Trump’s image as an irrepressible pussy-groper a facade hiding his membership in the gay criminal underworld explored in Oliver Stone’s film JFK?
And is the current impeachment push designed to either pressure Trump to reverse course and wage war on Iran…or replace Trump in 2020 with a more pliable neocon-Zionist puppet like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio?

Impeachment movement aims to force Trump to pursue Israeli agenda: Analyst
Pro-Israel conservatives like Republican Senator Lindsey Graham “are covertly sparking the impeachment movement” against President Donald Trump to force him to pursue Israel’s agenda, says a political analyst.
Kevin Barrett, an author, journalist and radio host with a Ph.D. in Islamic and Arabic Studies, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Sunday.
“Why is Lindsey Graham defending Donald Trump against impeachment? To understand this, we have to look at the background,” Barrett said.
“Lindsey Graham is a fanatical pro-Israel new conservative,” whose “job is to push the Israeli agenda in the US government,” he added.
“Israel ordered Lindsey Graham to befriend Trump as soon as Trump was elected and since then Lindsey Graham has been one of Trump’s Israeli handlers along with Jared Kushner,” Trump’s son-in-law and advisor.
“He (Graham) and Kushner, as part of this hardcore new conservative pro-Israeli team that is trying to steer Trump, is angry at Trump and Israel is angry at Trump for backing off on Iran.”
“Interestingly, this impeachment thing comes up, it may not just be the “liberal democrats” who are pushing the impeachment movement against Trump, it may also be pro-Israel or Israeli agent new conservatives like Lindsey Graham who in fact are also covertly sparking the impeachment movement in order to try to pressure Trump into pursuing Israel’s agenda.”
On September 24, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry into the president.
Pelosi made the announcement after meetings with Democratic congressional leaders and working out plans to move toward impeachment proceedings against Trump over his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
During the phone call, Trump allegedly sought Ukraine’s help to smear the former vice president and current front-runner for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Joe Biden.
“The actions of the Trump presidency revealed the dishonorable fact of the president’s betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections,” Pelosi said in a televised address.
“Therefore, today I’m announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry,” Pelosi added. “The president must be held accountable; no one is above the law.”
Trump reportedly urged Zelensky about eight times during the phone call to work with his lawyer Rudy Giuliani to investigate government corruption involving Biden and his son, Hunter.
For some reason #Leningrad Lindsey Graham did a complete about face on Trump. At one time Lindsey told the truth about Trump and called his a religious bigot, a racist and a zenophobe and now he can't get Trump's dick far enough down his throat so he can lick his balls. With the help of Putin,Trump is probably blackmailing Lindsey with the help of Lindsey. They probably have videos of Lindsey molesting boys. Trump had the clout to and Mafia ties to knock off Epstein but compared to a criminal like Trump, #LeningradLindsey is a lightweight.
Here is a message to Lindsey regarding the Senate trial of Donald Trump.
I know the MAGAts better than you do and I know the MAGAts better than the experts. Back when all the experts were saying Trump didn't stand a chance of winning the primary. I knew they were wrong. Why? Because I know MAGAts. I also know what the long term outcome will be if the results of the Senate trial will be on the future of the GOP. No matter what happens the GOP will be fucked. How do I know this? I know MAGAts. Just think for a minute. Mike Pence was a bigger Trump lackey than you are and had the MAGAts gotten his hands on him the would have killed him. Why would they have done that? MAGAts are MAGAts are MAGAts. You don't have a clue what's going to happen if Trump is convicted in the Senate trial or acquitted. I do. Why? Because I know MAGAts.
The GOP will be fucked either way and permanently splintered. If the FCC institutes truth in advertising for political ads the GOP will be extra extra fucked. How do I know this? I know MAGAts and the GOP.
The worse part is what's going to happen legally and politically to Republicans who don't convict the criminal former President. (They are fucked either way.) How do I know this? I studied the law regarding this and I know MAGAts and I know Republicans.
You are a special case Lindsey. You are trying to play both ends against the middle. Some people are speculating that Trump may be blackmailing you in a Hastert kinda way and that is why you did a 180. Trump sucks at keeping secrets and if it is true Trump will sell that information simply for the money. That's the least of your worries.
There are certain nuances in the law regarding what will be going on in the Senate trial that you and other lawyers probably can't fully comprehend or simply don't know about.
As corny as it sounds Lindsey, honesty will work out best for you in the long run. Yes Lindsey, the truth may set you free as long as you go to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US.
Whatever you Trump loyalists do is fine with me. If he's convicted and sentenced for his crimes quickly the country will heal more quickly... out of site out of mind. If you loyalists are stupd and do the wrong thing and the criminal is allowed to walk, the healing will be slower but more thorough. Your obtuse and depraved base will splinter. Even know the sane moral Kasich type conservatives are leaving the GOP. That's maybe 5% of the GOP base.
The thing for you to consider is how fucked do you want to be. You are probably fucked politically but you had a good run and you got rich so why lose it all on legal bills? I think you'd be smart to step down, denounce the GOP in general and the ultra kooks and deplorables specifically and become an ex-pat. You'll have your wealth, and sanity.
Donald Trump is “blackmailing” South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, a political author claims. Don Winslow, a best selling author of historical nonfiction and mystery novels, wrote on Twitter that sources in the Department of Justice confirmed to him that Trump is blackmailing Graham. It is a claim that Winslow has made in the past, taking note of Graham’s abrupt turn from one of the most vocal critics of Trump on the right to one of his most vehement backers.

Having been a Graham watcher for some years, I don’t think he’s being blackmailed. People seem to think that Trump has threatened to out him as a gay man, but here in SC it’s been an open secret for years. Graham denies being gay, he would deny it if Trump said it, and that would be that. I don’t think it would hurt him in South Carolina.

Now lets talk about the Super Bowl super spreader parties.
I like football more than the next guy but unlike the average football fan, I'm a student of the game. Football is serious stuff for me. The pomp and circumstance surrounding the game is not why I'm a fan of the game but even if I were a super fan I would follow the advice of Dr Fauci and be responsible. The good news is most non Trumpers will be responsible and most Trumpers will be irresponsible.
Millions of MAGAts will be spending hours at Super Bowl parties spreading the coronavirus to each other and spreading it to others of their kind. Unlike a single Trump super spreader there will be millions of Super Bowl super spreaders. The COVID-19 death toll will start showing by the end of February and the first of March. With the many new COVID-19 variants the third COVID-19 surge could be the biggest one yet in spite of the roll out of vaccines.
As of February 3rd 2021 9:oo PM EST US COVID-19 death toll is 462,230. With the vast majority of the deaths being MAGAts a Super Bowl Super Spreader could easily push the death toll past 750,000 by May.
