Biden Administration Plans to Offer Updated Booster Shots in September – The New York Times

The Biden administration now expects to begin a Covid-19 booster campaign with retooled vaccines in September because Pfizer and Moderna have promised that they can deliver doses by then, according to people familiar with the deliberations.

With updated formulations apparently close at hand, federal officials have decided against expanding eligibility for second boosters of the existing vaccines this summer. The new versions are expected to perform better against the now-dominant Omicron subvariant BA.5, although the data available so far is still preliminary.

A MOUTHFUL OF IT….

NANMYKEL.COM

Speaking at a conference for young conservatives, former Vice President Mike Pence called for a total ban on abortion nationwide, after the U.S. Supreme Court turned abortion into a state issue.

“We save the babies, we’ll save America,”  [We’ll save the foetuses until they require funds, if the planet still exists?]

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is facing backlash after bullying and body-shaming a teenager from Houston. His remarks toward the activist came after she responded to other controversial remarks the Republican congressman made about abortion rights activists at a Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday.

“Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions?” the congressman asked the audience during the event. “Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.”

Two things people most need from us are unbiased understanding and sincere care. All this way more than suggestions and guidance.

Understanding and Care

Two things people most need from us are unbiased understanding and sincere care. All this way more than suggestions and guidance.

One thing that I quickly learned when I started coaching and teaching is that of course people needed guidance from me, but they needed something else, more urgently.

Você é a única pessoa responsável pelo seu próprio mérito.

Ainda que se fale em meritocracia, ou que se discuta tanto a respeito dos muitos abismos que temos em termos de mundo, de modo de vida, onde uns tem mais privilégios, e grande parte da população brasileira corra atrás daquilo que é considerado como “mínimo” que é o acesso à cuidados, bens, etc. É importante ressaltar que todas essas causas, abrem caminhos para que o indivíduo se torne em termos de condições, um ser pequeno, pequeno diante de concorrência massacrante. Mas também é preciso acreditar por exemplo, que não é porque o sujeito é pobre que ele não seja capaz de lutar por um futuro melhor. Pode. Muito daquilo que nos paralisa vem dessa forma pequena que de pensarmos. Às vezes, por você ser pobre e desejar alcançar algo grandioso, muitos fazem você desistir.
