Is a fourth COVID-19 vaccine shot coming?

Yes, experts say.

No, experts say.

“As more data become available about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, including the use of a booster dose, we will
continue to evaluate the rapidly changing science and keep the public informed,” Hunt added. “Any determination that additional booster
doses are needed will be based on data available to the agency.”

But other experts say a fourth shot may not be needed for months – or
years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yes"....No"
"months - or years."

"Is This What Endemic Disease Looks Like?
By Eleanor Lutz and Amy Schoenfeld Walker
April 7, 2022

For months, some American and European leaders have foretold that the coronavirus pandemic would soon become endemic. Covid-19 would resolve
into a disease that we learn to live with. According to several
governors, it nearly has.

But we are still in the acute phase of the pandemic, and what endemic
Covid might look like remains a mystery. Endemic diseases can take many
forms, and we do not know yet where this two-year-old disease will fall
among them.

At its most basic, an endemic disease is one with a constant,
predictable or expected presence. It’s a disease that persists. Beyond
that, there is no fixed definition.

Endemic diseases infect millions of people around the world each year,
and some endemic diseases kill hundreds of thousands. Some we can treat
and vaccinate against. Yet they can also cause unexpected outbreaks and significant suffering.

Interviews with two dozen scientists, public health experts and medical historians suggest the rush to recast Covid as endemic may be missing
the point.

“There’s been a political reframing of the idea of endemic as something that is harmless or normal,” said Lukas Engelmann, a historian of
medicine and epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh. But
epidemiologists use endemic to mean something we should watch carefully,
he said, because an endemic disease can become epidemic again.

Endemic diseases can be mild or deadly"

This reminds me of other, related, and unsurprising news.

"Birx: Fauci, other colleagues on Trump team had resignation pact

BY RACHEL SCULLY - 04/26/22 7:37 AM ET"

"Deborah Birx, who served as coronavirus response coordinator for former President Trump, said in a new interview that she and other members of
his COVID-19 response team had a resignation pact if one person was
removed from the group.

“I actually wasn’t worried about myself being fired because I was dual-hatted, and I would go back to the State Department and my PEPFAR
job full-time,” Birx told ABC News, noting her role as the coordinator
of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the government’s
program to combat HIV and AIDS.

“I was very worried about Bob and Steve — because you can hear in the hallways how people were talking about them,” she added, referring to
former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert
Redfield and former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn.

“And so, I went to the vice president multiple times to call Bob and
Steve because I was worried about them feeling like they were at that
risk. And I was very clear to the chief of staff that if anything
happened to Bob or Steve, we would all leave.”

When asked whether any removals were imminent, Birx said there were
times when Hahn “particularly was under a lot of pressure” over vaccine development, and she made sure to remind him she “had his back, no
matter what.”

“All of us knew what it was like to be there and in the trenches,” she added. “Although, they got to go home after the task force and back to
their agencies. I was still in the White House.

“But they had enough understanding about what was happening in the White House to understand that all of us were at risk at one time or another.”" [snip]

I've been tellin' y'all this Covid science is like a religion, and I
allege that I think that it's also probably hyped up with OTC
political and professional expediency supplements - possibly
disguised as Fruits and Veggies and osmotic My Pillows. I can hardly
wait until Mary Poppins and the Disinformation Governance Board gets
spun up and gets to the bottom of all this science dis and
misinformation.

P/D/U - 47/123/7
Some days and moments - when all the atmospheric and geophysics
metrics triangulate and align efficaciously - are better than others.
Starlink is my religion, and Musk is my preacher.
However comma in all transparency, let me be literally clear at the
end of the day going forward - if a Church of Fiberopticsism were
available to me, I'd convert in a heartbeat and leave Starlink
foundering in LEO. (i would have said foundering in heaven but i
think heaven is somewhat further up than leo)(for those of you who
believe in heaven)

It's a scientific fact, and verified by most religions, that
JohnGeorge consumed all the Stupid pills. And, he wants to know why
you think heaven is higher than a law enforcement officer.

If there is a heaven, I think it's way way way up there. Higher than
anything in all of history. 'Course, it could also be literally right
around the corner in another dimension or alternate universe. And
nothing says it couldn't be inside that box with the cat in it.
Context is everything. Sometimes. Depends on your personal immutable
metrics. Unless they happen to be transitory in the passage of time.

Compared to my DSL, it is. Take comfort in that.

A failure to deliver

Shortly after taking office, President Biden called on the government
to do better. “We have to prove democracy still works,” he told
Congress. “That our government still works — and we can deliver for
our people.”

Most Americans seem to believe Biden has not done so: 42 percent of
Americans approve of his job performance, while 53 percent disapprove, according to FiveThirtyEight’s average of polls.

In today’s newsletter, I want to use Covid as a case study for how
Biden failed to persuade Americans that the government delivered and
instead cemented perceptions that it cannot.

Polling suggests that Covid — not the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan — jump-started Biden’s political problems. His approval
rating began to drop in July, weeks before the withdrawal.

That timing coincides with the rise of the Delta variant and reports
that vaccine protection against infection was not holding up. Both
came after Biden suggested for months that an “Independence Day” from Covid was near, setting up Americans for disappointment as it became
clear that his administration would not fulfill arguably its biggest
promise.
The Covid example

At first, the Biden administration’s pandemic response helped
highlight how government can solve a big problem. Millions of
Americans were receiving shots a day — a campaign that Biden compared
to wartime mobilization.

But then things went awry, culminating in the disappointment many
Americans now feel toward Biden’s handling of Covid.

Biden’s administration gave mixed messages on boosters and masks that
at times appeared to contradict data and experts. As we have covered
before, U.S. officials often have not trusted the public with the
truth about Covid and precautions.

New York Times

Congress also lagged behind, with pandemic funding caught in
intraparty squabbles and partisan fights — the kind of gridlock that
has often prevented lawmakers from getting things done in recent years.

“American government is fairly slow and very incremental,” said Julia Azari, a political scientist at Marquette University. “That makes it
very difficult to be responsive.”

Perhaps Biden’s biggest mistake was, as Azari put it, “overpromising.” He spent early last summer suggesting that vaccines would soon make
Covid a concern of the past — a view some experts shared at the time, too.

Biden could not control what followed, as the virus persisted. But he
could have set more realistic expectations for how a notoriously
unpredictable pandemic would unfold.

Another problem preceded Biden’s presidency: the political
polarization of the pandemic. It made vaccines a red-versus-blue
issue, with many Republicans refusing to get shots. Yet the vaccines
remain the single best weapon against Covid.

Given the high polarization, Biden’s options against Covid are now
limited. His support for vaccines can even turn Republicans against
the shots, one study found.

“There is more that could be done, but the impact would probably only
be at the margins, rather than transformative,” said Jen Kates of the
Kaiser Family Foundation.

Even if Biden cannot do much, the public will likely hold him
responsible for future Covid surges; voters expect presidents to solve difficult issues. “People blame the administration for problems that
are largely outside its control,” said Brendan Nyhan, a political
scientist at Dartmouth College.
Lost trust

Biden framed his call to deliver as a test for American democracy. He
drew comparisons to the 1930s — “another era when our democracy was tested,” then by the threat of fascism. He pointed to new threats:
Donald Trump challenging the legitimacy of U.S. elections and China’s president, Xi Jinping, betting that “democracy cannot keep up with him.”

There is a historical factor, too. Since the Vietnam War and
Watergate, Americans’ trust in their government has fallen. If Biden
had succeeded, he could have helped reverse this trend.

But Covid, and the government’s response to it, did the opposite.
Trust in the C.D.C. fell throughout the pandemic: from 69 percent in
April 2020 to 44 percent in January, according to NBC News.

Distrust in government can turn into a vicious cycle. The government
needs the public’s trust to get things done — like, say, a mass vaccination campaign. Without that support, government efforts will be
less successful. And as the government is less successful, the public
will lose more faith in it.

Given the polarization surrounding Covid and the government’s mixed
record, skepticism seems a more likely outcome than the renaissance of
trust that Biden called for. --------------------------------------------------------------------- https://messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/template/oakv2?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20220506&instance_id=60594&nl=the-morning&productCode=NN&regi_id=70663888&segment_id=91445&te=1&uri=nyt%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter%2Fff7db93f-231b-57db-af88-f796bd6caa0b&

I went on a grocery/booze/beer shopping road trip today. The only
place I had to wear a mask was in the commissary - which was odd,
because just across the street was the much smaller booze/beer store,
which didn't even suggest a mask, much less require one.
