    FDA investigating allergic reactions to Pfizer vaccine reported in multiple states

    https://thehill.com/policy/healthca...ctions-to-pfizer-vaccine-reported-in-multiple



    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating allergic reactions to the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine that were reported in multiple states after it began to be administered this week.

    Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, told reporters late Friday that the reactions had been reported in more than one state besides Alaska and that the FDA is probing five reactions.

    “We are working hand in hand with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and we’ve actually been working closely with our United Kingdom colleagues, who of course reported the allergic reaction. I think we’ll be looking at all the data we can from each of these reactions to sort out exactly what happened, and we’ll also be looking to try to understand which component of the vaccine might be helping to produce them,” Marks said.

    Unfortunately there are too many " mafias" out there now...the Democtatic party being the oldest and most powerful at the moment. Makes me wax nostalgic for the Italian mafia again.

    Saw a fun video on FB, don't know if it was legit or not but a large crowd (1000's) chanting "you can shove your vaccine up your ass" in the UK I thought it was clever.

    Wait, based on the career path and security of the industry I work in, I should be penalized because my business is deemed essential? KMA just because you opened a restaurant I should pay higher taxes to bail you out. Hard no taxes are high enough as it is.

    MN bars and restaurants started their outdoor service this weekend. I did not partake, however, when the temps start dropping below zero and we see cold related injuries the state will probably reel that one back in.

    Also, what are 'excess profits'? There is no such thing.

    As a shareholder, I expect to receive a portion of profits in earnings/dividends from corporations in exchange for my equity investment.

    This sure feels a lot like wealth redistribution.

    Uncle Sam can always count on Peter to help rob Paul.
    But if Uncle Sam robs from both; maybe Peter and Paul team up and say Eff You, Sam!

    'Excess profits' could be determined by a comparison of sales revenues and subsequent contribution to GDP from 2020 to years prior. It could be pretty accurately figured.

    It's not proposed as a solution; it's a catalyst to change policy back to where it was (no lockdowns.)
    Of course it's not going to happen. Both GOP and DNC, INC are against it. It's pure political posturing from Tulsi. She may even believe in it but she knows it's not going anywhere. Just appealing to the populists.

    I'd suggest it's simply a tax.. on prosperity or capitalism...

    I agree on her attempt at pandering.
