23rd Day of January – Fatcowco – 1957 – Birth of the Frisbee

1957 – Birth of the Frisbee

Walter Fredrick “Fred” Morrison (January 23, 1920 in Richfield, Utah – February 9, 2010) was an American inventor and entrepreneur, who invented the Frisbee.

Morrison stated that the original idea for a flying disc toy came to him in 1937, while throwing a popcorn can lid with his girlfriend, Lucile Eleanor “Lu” Nay (1920–1987), whom he later married on April 3, 1939 in Los Angeles, California.

The popcorn can lid soon dented which led to the discovery that cake pans flew better and were more common.

Pfizer suspends Costa Rica vaccine shipments for 3 weeks –

However, Costa Rican health authorities will continue vaccinating at-risk populations with the supply of doses that has already been delivered by the U.S. pharmaceutical.

“All those who received their first dose are assured the second inoculation without any setback,” the Presidency said in a statement.

Weekly deliveries will resume in mid-February, according to a communication from Pfizer to the Costa Rican government, and are expected to include quantities ensuring Costa Rica receives “100% of the doses agreed to for the first quarter of the year.”

Pfizer says it is temporarily reducing vaccine production in order to make changes that will increase global supply for the rest of 2021.
