If you look at success as "not dying" then I'd say the "Trump vaccines" are a success but Biden won't say that so many of Trump's followers won't take the shots despite Trump himself taking the jabs. Crazy world... It would be interesting to see how many who don't get the Trump Vaccines also don't get flu shots. Maybe they are the same and would rather face being very sick for a few weeks and possibly dying rather than some side effects that are not nearly as deadly. I was in that camp with flu shot until I got old enough the flu poses higher risk... Then my insurance company thought enough of the protection to pay for it so it was even easier. reuters.com January 24, 2022 1:12 AM PST Fourth COVID vaccine shot raises resistance to serious illness for over-60s: Israel Reuters JERUSALEM, Jan 23 (Reuters) - A fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine given to people over 60 in Israel made them three times more resistant to serious illness than thrice-vaccinated people in the same age group, Israel's Health Ministry said on Sunday. The ministry also said the fourth dose, or second booster, made people over 60 twice as resistant to infection than those in the age group who received three shots of the vaccine. A preliminary study published by Israel's Sheba medical centre last Monday found that the fourth shot increases antibodies to even higher levels than the third but "probably" not to the point that it could completely fend off the highly transmissible Omicron variant. Israel began offering a fourth dose of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine to people over 60 earlier this month as Omicron swept the country. The ministry said on Sunday the study it conducted with several major Israeli universities and the Sheba centre compared 400,000 people over 60 who received the second booster with 600,000 people in the age group who were given a third shot more than four months ago. As elsewhere, Israel has seen COVID-19 cases spiral due to Omicron. But it has logged no deaths from the variant. Reporting by Jeffrey Heller; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne and Frances Kerry

I saw Joe out bragging on my hike today... Down Town Los Altos Chevron... I think a full tank of gas for my BMW X3 at $118 is more than I'll pay to have the oil changed and get my annual service... Ummm I wonder what synthetic oil goes for these days.... I'll need a second mortgage to fill up the windsurfing van! (38 gallons x $5.899 = $224.16!) Maybe we'll have to hire an armed guard to patrol our streets with all the cars with gasoline inside parked outside! I read someone enterprising printed up these stickers, sells them on Amazon and people are putting them on gas pumps! LOLOL #IDidThat Stickers only $5.99! amzn.to
