I've read that the Polio vaccine initially caused issues. There were problems with some of the initial production. More details can be found in this link. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1383764/ It did lead to improved safety protocols. It was a while ago and since then I'm not aware of other issues with vaccine's but that's not saying there haven't been any. There have been issues with drugs that were developed (ie. Thalidomide) but everything that was learned from issues is often incorporated into subsequent development and protocols. I trust my government's recommendations on what is safe and will get the vaccine as soon as possible once they give the go-ahead. They have already confirmed it will be free for all Canadians when available. One advantage of where we currently are is that there are several companies working on producing a vaccine. What worries me is that effort needs to be on the effectiveness as opposed to the potential profit.

You are so right. The body eventually acclimatizes to the alcohol level and can sort of function under the influence. Jim, for the person you quoted above, was there a blood alcohol level test done? I had a friend in the Canadian military and thank goodness for members, there was more than one treatment program available. It was common to have members in treatment and was never a stigma.

The intro with "Maria" gives major goosebumps! I did not realize how different the intro to "Jeremiah" was at the beginning of the '85 season.

The news story I provided links to your article link and adds: That conclusion appeared to be based on an errant reading of a CDC study published in the Sept. 11 issue of its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a compendium of the latest research. The study in question reviewed data from 154 people who had tested positive for the coronavirus and had been treated at 11 medical centers around the country." Also in the news article I posted is the following: "The CDC further speculated that while mask wearing has led to “sufficient protection” within subjects’ social networks, those subjects likely contracted the coronavirus in a bar or restaurant, where people take off masks to eat and drink."
