Speaking of vaccines
Just noticed the front page of USA Today: know who else thought it could be done? @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/K7IGbHMTZS

Remember when they were telling us it couldn’t be done, that it would be years before a vaccine was ready? Now there are multiple vaccines approved for use
Vaccination cards will be issued to everyone getting Covid-19 vaccine, health officials say
The Department of Defense released the first images of a Covid-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits Wednesday.
Vaccination cards will be used as the “simplest” way to keep track of Covid-19 shots, said Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, which is supporting frontline workers who will administer Covid-19 vaccinations.
“Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due,” Moore said. “Let’s do the simple, easy thing first. Everyone’s going to get that.”
Vaccination clinics will also be reporting to their state immunization registries what vaccine was given, so that, for example, an entity could run a query if it didn’t know where a patient got a first dose.
Moore said many places are planning to ask patients to voluntarily provide a cell phone number, so they can get a text message telling them when and where their next dose is scheduled to be administered.
Every dose administered will be reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Claire Hannan, executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers.
On one hand, this makes complete sense. Having health authorities know this information is necessary for many reasons, such as if the particular version worked for you, did you get COVID even with the vaccine, are you double dipping, and to let you know when the next dose should be taken. Your doctor/medical facility does this, right? The bad part is that the Government is now tracking you even more, which will keep lots of people from getting. We can all trust government with this information, though, right? Further, will companies start requiring you to show this? The company you work for, the supermarket you shop at, etc?
Yes, your company can require it as a term of employment. Want to fly? Show you card. Want to this and that? Show your card.
US reports 3,100 COVID-19 deaths in one day, surpassing previous record by 20 percent
The U.S. saw its highest single-day coronavirus death toll to date on Wednesday with 3,157.
The number was 20 percent higher than the previous single-day high of 2,603 on April 15, and brings the total U.S. death toll to 273,799, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The record high came the same day new hospitalizations exceeded 100,000 for the first time ever and newly reported infections hit 200,000 for only the second time, according to the COVID Tracking Project. Of those hospitalized, 19,396 were intensive care patients, another new high.
The thing is, we’re seeing these types of numbers throughout Europe, as well, along with huge spikes in Canada, Mexico, Russia, even Nepal (which is strange). There are very few countries reporting no new cases. One has to wonder why it is hitting so hard in the 1st World, especially with all the mask mandates.
Elsewhere, both Barack Obama and George W. Bush say they will take the vaccine when available, which should appeal to the Trump haters in the Democratic Party who would refuse to take something developed under Trump and the Never Trumpers on the Right who are equally unhinged.
