The entire world should stick to the mRNA vaccines. It seems injecting even a small dead portion of the Covid-19 virus can mess you up. But still 1 out of 7 million people is extremely rare. The odds are probably the same for ibuprofen or Tylenol. Stage 3 trials used 50,000 people, so the sample size has increased and that is probably why they weren't able to find a 1 in 2 million side effect.

Lots of things are not FDA approved. I'm drinking my Bang energy drink this morning which is not and then preworkout isn't either. Preworkout messed me up back in January, I'll never take again.

You'd love the last kingdom, I actually prefer it to Vikings.

If you liked GOT. Vikings and The Last Kingdom were incredible shows. Highly recommend.

Buffalo is at +9.1 for April temps.

Not exactly

Whose to say they didn't' get Covid very closely after getting vaccinated in which case the vaccine would not be effective yet? You're not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the 2nd shot.

I said vaccinated not fully vaccinated. 1 dose offers 80% protection.

I guess that term can be subjective. The J & J vaccine is the worst of the 3 used in terms of efficacy in the US. However, its 100% effective against hospitalization and death. In my opinion, that is what really matters. "provided 100 percent efficacy against hospitalizations and deaths" https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2021/03/420071/how-effective-johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine-heres-what-you-should-know

At this rate, the first dose shots: End of April - 154.6m May - 211m 16+ population numbers (based on 266.3m population) End of April - 58.1% May - 79.7% 50% on 4/19 60% on 5/3 69.420% on 5/17

Incorrect. The vaccines protect 100% against severe illness. The vaccine was 100% effective against severe disease as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-confirm-high-efficacy-and-no-serious#:~:text=The vaccine was 100% effective,and Drug Administration (FDA).

65+ at 80% vaccine rate is the most important number to me as that segment was the hardest hit.

I disagree. I will be at a Bills game this fall with a packed stadium.

At our current vaccination rate 80% of 16+ will be vaccinated by end of May. Along with prior infections, that is herd immunity.

Taylor Hall traded for a 2nd while Foligno gets a 1st. The Sabres cannot do anything right.

BUF is +9.1 for April. Looks like another month well above normal.

Good point.

Rain totals: Looks like 1-2" across most of WNY https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF

A lot of people are getting them. As long as 60-70% of people get them along with prior infections we will reach herd immunity.

I wonder if a lot of business move overseas with the increasing tax hike coming. From 21-28%?
