Assuming you're affiliated with the Armed Forces of the Philippines ... and you're required to follow orders "to the letter" ... considering that as of this writing 03 Jan. 2021 ... no Covid 19 vaccine has been authorized for use ... do you have the option of requesting that you take the shot AFTER it's been cleared by the FDA?

I will pick the brand that will be given free by the Japanese government. It will be free here to all Filipino OWFs. When the pandemic started the Japanese gave EVERYONE 100,000 Yen. Regardless if they were Japanese or Filipinos (or any nationality). The only requirement was you had to be registered with the city.

I'm not good at taking photos.. but here is my tattoo.. it's on my left leg.

Interesting topic. I'm not officially part of the govt but I'm a tambay of congress (my name says it all) I can't confirm or deny any info... My boss instructed me to come to Batasan for _______, no other details were given.

I always prefer Lazada but today I decided to go with Shopee. I needed a daily watch that I could wear and I have my eye on this high rating store. So the question is saan ako mas comfortable? Lazada.. I agree mas maganda layout nila sa app compare Shopee na mas magulo nga. Ginawa pa nila na parang social media na pwede mong i-follow friends mo at malaman ano ang binibili nila. (Am I wrong? that's what I observe earlier.) Edit: I have to add this. What is important is just be smart on buying things online kahit anong app gamitin nyo. ?

I use shopee because compared to lazada, most of the same items (from the same sellers) are posted with cheaper prices. For example, a toy dinosaur costs 399 on shopee, but when compared to lazada, it costs 499. And this is from the same seller. I also, always get a free shipping voucher as well as discounts for using shopee pay. Disputing refunds was also easy since I use shopee pay. It is good to note though that when it comes to MDF furniture, it looks like lazada has cheaper prices. Shopee customer service sucks though. So if you encounter something that is not usual in their system, you'll just get frustrated. Lazada customer service (as far as I remember) has always been easy to deal with

Can lawyers site laws regarding “use of unauthorized” drug? I think the issue is sale of unauthorized drug. Using it is not a crime. If I use gasoline to disinfect bruises on myself in an accident, I’m not breaking the law am I?

As software and apps are upgraded, old hardware has a harder time keeping up. My old phone could hardly cope with the the things I needed to do. So I bought a new one that would suit me needs better

I saw the original Pet Sematary (1989) on VHS when I was 7 years old. At the time, it was the scariest thing I've ever watched and the novel on which it was based upon is (still) the creepiest thing I ever read. I watched the entire film from start to finish without pausing (and I was alone, bec my mother didn't allow me to watch scary shit like that) but it got under my skin so much that I never looked at our pet cat the same way ever again. Now, more than two decades later, it's still one of those movies that scares the bejesus out of me. Oh how I miss the good times.

Novavax, a late-stage US biotechnology company, focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases. This Maryland company is smaller compared to other vaccine manufacturers. They received a $1.6 billion grant from the US government’s Operation Warp Speed to produce 100 million doses by 2021. How their vaccines work: According to an article published in the Science Magazine, a peer-reviewed academic journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Novavax first inserts baculovirus into moth cells. The baculovirus, a pathogen that attacks insects, will make moth cells produce a protein called spike – which is present in coronavirus. The spikes are then harvested by scientists and mixed with a “synthetic soap like particle” where the spikes can latch on. A compound called saponin, also derived from plants and trees, is also added to boost the immune response. The NVX‑CoV2373 vaccine aims to produce anti spike antibodies that can block SARS-CoV-2 infection. Status development: As of November 30, Novavax said in a statement that it has completed the enrollment of its 15,000-patient UK Phase 3 trial. The company added that has fully enrolled the Phase 2b trial in South Africa. “Novavax expects its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in the United States and Mexico to begin in the coming weeks. More than 100 trial sites have been selected with some alternate sites in place, should they be needed,” the company added. Roll-out: Since the vaccine is still in its early trial stages, there is still no expected release date.

The Gamelaya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology is a Russian medical-research institute founded in 1891. According to Gamelaya, it “runs one of the unique “virus libraries” in the world and has its own vaccine production facility.” Aside from their research for the COVID-19 vaccine, they are also working to develop a vaccine against Ebola and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). How their vaccine works: Sputnik V is a two-part adenovirus-based vector vaccine. It uses a vector (an engineered virus that lacks the gene to reproduce) to send a message in cells to produce spike proteins. “The gene from adenovirus, which causes the infection, is removed while a gene with the code of a protein from another virus spike is inserted,” the institute explained. “This inserted element is safe for the body but still helps the immune system to react and produce antibodies, which protect us from the infection,” it added. Sputnik V is stored in a regular refrigerator temperature (in dry form). Status development: Gamaleya on November 24 announced that it has finished the second interim analysis of clinical trial data for Sputnik V. “The Sputnik V vaccine’s efficacy is confirmed at 91.4% based on data analysis of the final control point of clinical trials. The Sputnik V vaccine efficacy against severe cases of coronavirus is 100%,” Gamaleya reported. In October, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) submitted applications to the World Health Organization for an Emergency Use Listing and prequalification of Sputnik V. According to a report on Monday, Russia is almost done completing its clinical trials for its COVID-19 vaccine for domestic animals and mink. Issues and concerns: Some scientists have recently expressed concerns towards Sputnik V due to a “lack of safety data.” However, Russia denounced the criticisms.

US-based multinational pharmaceutical corporation, Pfizer, is also known as one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. On the other hand, BioNTech SE is a German biotechnology company that focuses on individualized immunotherapies. How their vaccine works: Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine is similar to Moderna’s mRNA-1273 in the sense that it uses mRNA to eliminate the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine requires storage with a temperature of -70 degrees Celsius. Status development: Pfizer and BioNTech concluded the Phase 3 study for their vaccine on November 18. Meanwhile, the USFDA on December 12 granted an emergency use authorization for the vaccine, and on December 14 started its use in New York City. The United Kingdom, the first country in the world to conduct mass inoculation against COVID-19 starting December 8, likewise used the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech. On Monday, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long announced the approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for his country’s mass vaccination program that will likely begin by end-December. Later, Jordan announced it had approved emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine. Pfizer’s vaccine showed a 95 percent efficacy rate during its study. Issues and concerns: U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on December 10 issued an anaphylaxis warning on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine after reports of three cases of adverse reactions. According to MHRA, there were two reports of anaphylaxis and one possible allergic reaction after administering the vaccines. “Any person with a history of anaphylaxis to a vaccine, medicine or food should not receive the Pfizer BioNTech vaccine,” MHRA Chief Executive June Raine said in a statement. “Most people will not get anaphylaxis and the benefits in protecting people against COVID-19 outweigh the risks… You can be completely confident that this vaccine has met the MHRA’s robust standards of safety, quality and effectiveness,” Raine assured. Roll-out: Pfizer-BioNTech began its first shipment of the vaccines to several states in America on December 13.

Moderna is a Massachusetts-based biotechnology company that focuses on drug discovery and development. It also makes vaccines based on mRNA. How their vaccine works: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website said the vaccine, also known as “mRNA-1273,” basically uses mRNA, a genetic molecule that carries the instructions for making proteins in our body. This vaccine requires two shots that will be given 28 days apart. The mRNA in the vaccine will instruct cells to make a harmless spike protein – which can also be seen on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, the new strain of coronavirus that causes respiratory disease COVID-19, said the CDC website. According to the CDC, the protruding spikes and spike fragments in the cell will then be recognized by the immune system and cause an immune response that produces antibodies. These antibodies stop the coronavirus from attacking other cells by attaching to the virus’s spikes. The antibodies can also mark the virus so other cells can detect and destroy it. Moderna’s vaccine needs to be stored at -20C. Status development: Moderna announced last month that it has finished the first interim analysis of the Phase 3 study for mRNA-1273. According to the company, the study showed that its vaccine has an efficacy rate of 94.5 percent. Issues and concerns: Based on a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Moderna’s vaccine can protect for at least three months. But according to a report by the New York Times, since the vaccine is new, researchers still have no idea how long the vaccine’s protection will last. The report added that the number of antibodies and T-cells might reduce months after the vaccination. However, memory B-cells and memory-T cells might retain the information about the coronavirus even after years or decades. Roll-out: Moderna applied for emergency use authorization to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) on November 30. USFDA is set to decide on its application on December 17. If approved, Moderna can start releasing its vaccines in the US before the end of the month.
