Mixing COVID-19 vaccines for boosters safe, effective, study finds – UPI.com

Mixing COVID-19 vaccines for booster doses is safe and effective, according to the results of a National Institutes of Health-led study released Wednesday.

This means receiving a booster dose of a vaccine that’s different from the shot type given initially provides enough immunity to protect against the virus and that any serious side effects remain rare, the researchers said.

However, the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines generate a stronger immune system response than Johnson & Johnson, even after two doses of the latter, the data showed.

People who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine had higher antibody levels after receiving a booster shot made by Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech compared with those given a booster from Johnson & Johnson, according to the researchers.

Princess D

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

Princess D was a young lady who suffered such a pitiful reality All she wanted was fidelity Which was hers to begin with, rightfully But all of it ended in such tragedy! Princess D was very unhappy! All her life she waited eagerly While most thought she'd be elated To be the Queen of hearts A title laid by the people, from the start Princess D was such a beauty The most photographed woman of her time With charming grace that aged like fine wine From eating disorders she suffered In her lavish opulent chambers Princess D was a VVIP But what good can money bring If there's still no peace within? She even had the title and the crown Which she herself returned, without a frown She had the title attached to her name That came with so much fame and when questioned by that one She replied, "But…

Warrior Life Podcast

LANDBACK Friends

Pam Palmater tweeted this episode of Warrior Life Podcast today. She says this podcast is a response to the call for Wet’suwet’en solidarity. Doing her part to help amplify Wet’suwet’en voices about violent RCMP actions happening right now and how we can help.

She was not able to conduct a face-to-face interview with Gidimt’en spokesperson, Molly Wickham – Sledo. So, she sent a series of questions to Sledo, who recorded her answers to them. The result is a powerful picture of what happened to the Wet’suwet’en in the past, and why it is so important to continue. “I want people to know we have a responsibility to be here doing this work.”

In Episode 111 of Warrior Life Podcast, we hear from Molly Wickham – Sleydo – a Gidimt’en clan member and spokesperson protecting Wet’suwet’en Nation lands and waters from destruction by Coastal Gaslink pipeline. She and other clan members…

O Dia dos Povos Indígenas é um feriado celebrado nos países colonizados para homenagear os povos indígenas e comemorar suas histórias e culturas – enquanto governos e empresas continuam a pilhar, saquear e roubar territórios indígenas!

Barbara Crane Navarro

Nos Estados Unidos, o Dia dos Povos Indígenas evoluiu como uma alternativa ao «dia da invasão» – o Dia de Colombo – que celebrava a chegada de Cristóvão Colombo ao Novo Mundo em 12 de outubro de 1492 e o início da colonização da América do Norte.

Os nativos americanos protestaram contra a ideia de homenagear um homem que permitiu seu genocídio e assimilação forçada.

Em toda a América do Norte hoje, as lutas indígenas contra as minas e oleodutos que deveriam passar por locais sagrados ou fontes de água em suas comunidades ainda estão em andamento. Eles conclamam o governo a «honrar os tratados!» e reconhecer que «Água é vida!»

Entre eles, o Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) põe em perigo o abastecimento de água da reserva Standing Rock Sioux no rio Missouri.

A Linha 3 é um projeto de expansão do oleoduto para transportar um milhão de barris de…
