Pfizer COVID Bivalent Vaccine

I followed up regarding the recent COVID Bivalent vaccine with a nurse practitioner familiar with the vaccine. I was right it is not an mRNA vaccine.

The nurse practitioner stated the vaccine is NOT a booster. It is a completely different type of vaccine based on the variants involved. The nurse practitioner did not go into details about the technology involved except to say it is not an accurate statement to say it is a live attenuated vaccine.

My question is, why does the vaccine act like an attenuated live vaccine?

Oddly. The nurse practitioner could not answer that question nor deny people became symptomatic after the vaccine. Sorry folks but Pfizer never told the facts regarding their new bivalent technology and the potential side effects including having symptoms very similar to the virus itself. That, in my opinion is gross negligence of the public trust. 

Nor might I add there is an anti-vaccine medication or treatment if symptoms of the virus develop.

Israel will not carry out a nuclear strike.

The entire idea is bizarre and Prime Minister Netanyahu already relieved the junior minister of his responsibilities. 

Gaza is a concern because of the appalling use of civilians as human shields by terrorists in the region. I understand completely how Israel is measuring its strategy in Gaza. Israel is not interested in killing Palestinians. But, how does Israel secure its people if there is a ceasefire and the terrorists reorganize and carry out another attack or more attacks similar to the one that killed 1400 innocent civilians including children and infants?

The attacks by Hamas that killed 1400 people were assassinations. Infants were murdered by gunmen.

It seems to me all those in the world that want a ceasefire do not have solutions for the safety of Israeli citizens. Israel has openly proven there are massive networks of tunnels in Gaza that facilitate terrorist movements through Gaza. These tunnels are not the imagination of a maniacal war monger. The tunnel system is real and pose a real danger to the people of Israel. 

Members of the IDF are dying in combat. Families are burying their fallen soldiers. The war is real and not one sided.

My question is where was everyone when Hamas built those tunnels? Where was everyone when Hamas placed Palestinians in the line of fire by incorporating offensive and defensive strategies within civilian buildings and populations? Using civilians as human shields is not a new reality. These are known tactics. Why was it tolerated at all in the name of peace when none of those strategies represent any movement toward peace?

There is nothing more that civilized people want besides peace with good governance. But, when it comes to dismantling the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza no one seems to have an answer except for Israel’s Defense Force. No one has come up with plans that will work. 

So.

For those crying out for a ceasefire, where are the reassurances there will be no more influx of terrorists and munitions only to allow Israeli citizens deadly danger in their lives yet again. Why is that okay? Why is it okay to demand a ceasefire when there is potential danger once again to the people of Israel? Why is that okay?

If there were nuclear weapons in Israel their use would be catastrophic to Israel as well as the region. The entire idea is bizarre.

The country had a great day on election Tuesday.

Democrats won big on abortion rights Tuesday. Here’s what the results say for the US going into 2024 (click here)

It was magnificent to watch the USA take back it's sanity. I congratulate every voter that put aside political ideology long enough to make rational decisions about life going forward. 

Fantastic!

November 7, 2023

Columbus - Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment (click here) on Tuesday that ensures access to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, the latest victory for abortion rights supporters since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year....

I never thought I would see the day when women's health would be returned to the standard of the woman's movement of the 1960s. Ohio did it. The best decision I have witnessed in regard to women's health for a long, long time.

I was watching Norah O'Donnell before the Ohio vote was tabulated and it was devastating to listen to the reporting whereby physicians didn't feel safe practicing in extremist states and left their practices due to oppressive laws that completely compromised women. The abortion rights law is far more than simply the right for a woman to have an abortion, it is about the safe uninterrupted medical practice of women's health doctors.

The doctors fleeing the extremist states were not even abortion doctors, there were obstetricians who gave women pre-natal care. These obstetricians were practicing with their hands tied should there be an emergency and a women's life was in danger. They were unable to make life and death decisions because oppressive abortion laws.

The extremist states have gone too far. Yesterday America spoke and said loud and clear every woman is important and her health should be guaranteed to her.

It is a lot to think about in some ways. A woman in a state where abortion is basically banned can become pregnant with a normal pregnancy and then something goes wrong. Physicians are in such a legal quagmire that even a normal pregnancy with a change of events became a deadly path for both mother and baby. The entire circumstances surrounding abortion rights is not only oppressive from the standpoint of quality of life for women, but, are life and death decisions for women as to get pregnant or not get pregnant realizing they could die if something went wrong.

The oppressive laws regarding women's health are simply wrong. It is completely wrong to have a mother die when she could have been saved by an abortion. What does the family left behind do when a mother and wife dies due to laws that mandated her death?

In the 1960's when "the pill" became a choice for women that wanted to have control over their reproductive decisions physicians and women had privacy about such decisions. Birth control and abortion were private issues between a woman or girl and their physician. Ohio bravely returned those privacy rights. It is nice to believe in Americans again in that they are actually taking back their rights rather than walk a path of wrong-headed political ideology.

The country had a great night. It is time to make abortion legal at the federal level and we need to continue to focus on it into the elections of next year. Virginia voters absolutely destroyed the extremist agenda of their Governor and I applaud all of them.

I am relieved today in a way I haven't felt about my country in a long time.
