Biden Officials Now Expect Vulnerable Americans to Need Booster Shots – The New York Times

Biden administration health officials increasingly think that vulnerable populations will need booster shots even as research continues into how long the coronavirus vaccines remain effective.

Senior officials now say they expect that people who are 65 and older or who have compromised immune systems will most likely need a third shot from Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna, two vaccines based on the same technology that have been used to inoculate the vast majority of Americans thus far. That is a sharp shift from just a few weeks ago, when the administration said it thought there was not enough evidence to back boosters yet.

On Thursday, a key official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the agency is exploring options to give patients with compromised immune systems third doses even before regulators broaden the emergency use authorization for coronavirus vaccines, a step that could come soon for the Pfizer vaccine.

Dr. Amanda Cohn, the chief medical officer of the C.D.C.’s immunizations division, told an advisory committee to the agency that officials were “actively looking into ways” to provide certain people access to booster shots “earlier than any potential change in regulatory decisions.”

Până să apară John Giorno, poezia rămăsese cu vreo cincizeci de ani în urma celorlalte arte devenite, între timp, multimedia.

Poet și personaj memorabil al curentului underground newyorkez, partenerul scriitorului William S.Borroughs vreme de patruzeci de ani, amant și muză al lui Andy Warhol care a filmat cu el șase lung-metraje, până să-l descopere pe Joe Dallesandro, considerat cel mai chipeș bărbat al tuturor timpurilor, personajul nostru e un supraviețuitor al stilului de viață din anii 60-70. Artistul plastician Ugo Rondinone i-a organizat și scenografiat prima retrospectivă din lume la Paris, Palais de Tokio.

Încă din adolescență, și-a dorit să fie poet și nimic altceva, iar visul i s-a împlinit aproape de la sine, pentru că n-a fost niciodată nevoit să lucreze, datorită părinților care l-au susținut.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Filosofa's Word

Was there ever a day when my head wasn’t about to explode from all the injustice and lunacy that we live with on a continual basis?  Was there ever a day when people just treated others right, when our government wasn’t being ripped apart by radicals?  Sigh.  I do remember a day when things were better than today in many ways, but let’s face it … there has never been a time that people were completely kind and compassionate toward all, never been a time when there weren’t arguments within the government – and among people – about how things ought to be done.  So, I suppose it’s what keeps me going, gives me the will to fight injustice and ignorance yet another day.

Never Satisified

Lolsys Library

After seeing the racism debacle that was after England lost to Italy. I realised something, mainly because of one tweet. I’m not going to post it, because it’s annoying as hell.

Pretty much, it was a white guy saying that “taking a knee” makes people feel uncomfortable, maybe if we could come up with a sign that everyone could agree with?

Fuck Off, lol

Mainly you are NEVER going to come up with anything that would make the opposition feel “comfortable”.

The point of any protest, is it to make people uncomfortable.

Taking a knee may be one of the most peaceful way I have ever been alive to witness.

If YOU feel uncomfortable watching someone take a knee, you SERIOUSLY, need to ask yourself why.

Do people just not understand what a protest is?

Asome en mí

Asome en mí para que navegue entre mis murmullos y mis silencios, en mis sentimientos y en mis pensamientos. en mis cavilaciones y en mis suspiros, cuando es de día y es de noche. Asome en mí, insisto, con la idea de emprender el viaje juntos, inseparables, y bajar a las orillas, en un paraíso y en otro, y sumergirnos, a veces, en las profundidades del amor y de la vida. Asome en mí, por favor, porque la necesito a mi lado, junto al timón de mi existencia y al itinerario de mi destino. Asome en mí, y perdone mi obstinación, para que impregne mis letras con su perfume y, así, al escribir en cada página, me sea posible entregarle un poema con mucho de usted y tanto de mí. Asome en mí e intérnese en mis rutas, en…

11th Airborne Division – June 1944 – Lt. Gen. G.C. Kenney

Pacific Paratrooper

Crashed Zero, Lae, New Guinea

Smitty always made mention of how hard the soldiers before him had to struggle. He noticed that no matter how hard people or nature tried to disguise their surroundings, the scars of war were everywhere. In New Guinea, my father had a clear view of the battle remnants of General Robert Eichelberger’s Australian and American troops from when they fought on a similar terrain and in battles as fiercely intense as Guadalcanal – on each island the territories had to be taken inch by inch. (Many veterans know of what I speak.)

Japanese equipment

Lt. Gen. George C. Kenney, Chief of Allied Air Forces, in the southwest Pacific sent his complaints to the War Dept. and Gen. “Hap” Arnold, head of the U.S. Army Air Forces to explain just that in 1942:

“… The Japanese is still being underrated. There is no question of our…
