Ya know, there might be a use for the anti vaccers, believers in bullshit and the vaccine resistant after all. We will need lab rats to test new treatments and they should provide a good source, since everybody else will be immune through vaccination. It will take a couple of years for clinical trials and approval though, so a nice stable supply of lab rats will be required for this and other potential covid treatments. If they don't like proven and safe vaccines, imagine how they are gonna feel about taking experimental drugs, at least the vaccines have had all the clinical trials completed!

Covid: NIH scientists say they may have found a promising new oral antiviral drug (cnbc.com)

NIH scientists say they may have found a promising new oral antiviral drug for Covid

KEY POINTS
  • Scientists may have found a promising new oral treatment for Covid-19, the National Institutes of Health said Thursday, citing a new study.
  • The drug, called TEMPOL, can reduce Covid-19 infections by impairing an enzyme the virus needs to make copies of itself once it’s inside human cells, the NIH said.
  • “We urgently need additional effective, accessible treatments for COVID-19,” said Dr. Diana W. Bianchi, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Scientists may have found a promising new treatment for Covid-19 after an experimental oral antiviral drug demonstrated the ability to prevent the coronavirus from replicating, the National Institutes of Health said Thursday, citing a new study.

The drug, called TEMPOL, can reduce Covid-19 infections by impairing an enzyme the virus needs to make copies of itself once it’s inside human cells, which could potentially limit the severity of the disease, researchers at the NIH said. The drug was tested in an experiment of cell cultures with live viruses.

“We urgently need additional effective, accessible treatments for COVID-19,” Dr. Diana W. Bianchi, director of the NIH’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, wrote in a statement. “An oral drug that prevents SARS-CoV-2 from replicating would be an important tool for reducing the severity of the disease.”

Except that new info is coming out..

CDC Urges Teenagers To Get Vaccinated Amid Rise In Hospitalizations

The CDC is urging parents to get their teenagers vaccinated, citing an increase in hospitalizations in March and April. Researchers note there have been no deaths, and say the increase could be related to new variants plus a larger number of teens interacting.

With all these new incentives, lotteries, etc.. I'm thinking that if I hold out long enough they'll give me a million bucks, but I gonna be sure to strike while that iron's hot because I'm pretty sure that if I don't, they'll be holding me down and force-jab me once I wait too long.

Good idea Peej. Hold out until you get top dollar and can get one of these for free:


The heritage model looks nice. It suits you.

Oh yes, that model is quite nice. Only thing is I'd rather be cremated. I have a fear of being buried alive, and I think I'd rather be burned to death instead, if there was a mistake. I kind of like the idea of having my body laid out on the rocks and having the buzzards eat my dead flesh.

I knew you’d like that one. Classy.

during the 1800s that really was a problem, so they used to bury you with a bell attached to the inside of your coffin so if you were still alive, you could ring the bell and they could dig you back up.

US Coronavirus: Covid-19 cases fall to new lows in the US. But unvaccinated children are a 'vulnerable host' for the virus, expert says - CNN

Covid-19 cases fall to new lows in the US. But unvaccinated children are a 'vulnerable host' for the virus, expert says

(CNN)Americans are finally getting a breath of fresh air, as this summer is beginning to look like a time for not only soaking in the sun but also celebrating reopenings from the pandemic.

But as the adult population gets inoculated, experts continue to draw attention to children who are not yet vaccinated.
Dr. Richina Bicette, associate medical director at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, told CNN that children are accounting for nearly 25% of total Covid-19 cases in the US.

"As adults get vaccinated and become more protected and immune to this virus, the virus is still in the community looking for a vulnerable host and pediatric patients fit that description," Bicette explained.

And severe infections are not limited to older Americans. A study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examined more than 200 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who were likely hospitalized primarily for Covid-19 in the first three months of 2021.

The report revealed that while there were no deaths, nearly a third were admitted to intensive care units and roughly 5% required invasive mechanical ventilation.

Children 12 and older can receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and outreach efforts have already started in the race to protect teens who are eligible.

"I wanted to come get my vaccine because it's going to benefit me, because of the summertime and also because I have to go to school," said 14-year-old Aaliyah Jennings, who told CNN she received her first vaccine dose on Friday in New York.
On June 10, vaccine advisers will meet with the US Federal Drug Administration to discuss allowing Covid-19 vaccines for children 11 and under.

Nearly 63% of adults in the US have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine as of Saturday morning, CDC data shows.

We aren't there yet, but we're getting closer
Despite that less than half of the total US population is fully vaccinated -- at about 42% -- there's been progress in how people feel about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on their lives.

Two-thirds, or 66%, of adults in America say their lives are at least somewhat back to normalcy, according to a new Gallup survey.

"Almost all demographic subgroups of the population show large shifts since last fall in reports that their lives are back to normal," the survey says.

The US averaged about 14,300 new cases per day over the last week, down from nearly 71,300 daily in mid-April, according to Johns Hopkins University data. During the country's peak of infections last winter, the daily average of new cases eclipsed 250,000.

States are noticing the progress. Mass vaccination sites in Massachusetts will begin closing this month, Gov. Charlie Baker said in a news release, touting that 79% of adult residents have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

New Jersey passed a bill this week to end the public health emergency initiated by the Covid-19 pandemic, as limits on group gatherings across the state are lifted.

Meanwhile, Hawaii has moved to loosen some of its restrictions as it reaches a vaccine milestone. Gov. David Ige said Friday that he's ending all restrictions for inter-county travel on June 15, touting that 52% of his state's population is fully vaccinated.
"The easing of travel restrictions is a direct result of our robust vaccination rate, and a community that sacrificed and did what it had to do over the past year and a half to stop the spread of Covid-19," Ige said.

Companies push for return to normalcy
President Joe Biden's goal of vaccinating 70% of adults with at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine by July 4 has proven difficult, to say the least, and incentives ranging from scholarships to lotteries are being offered by states to drive demand for vaccines.

Now, enter free beer.
This week, Anheuser-Busch teamed up with the White House in promising a round of free beers to those 21 and older if the country reaches its goal.

These cheap ass incentives are pathetic . How about mass media coverage displaying the names of anti-vaxxers that have died from Covid in the last 2 months . The list could be An Energetic reality check and motivate more idiots to get the shot. Nothing more stupid than an antivaxxing selfish bastard.
Maybe the media should start talking about what happened to Eric Clapton first. It's amazing how the media can be so quiet about a living guitar legend losing his ability to play as a result of the jab.
