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?2 points

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.2 points

Red Bull This is my quick food. I don't need anything else. Just a can of this will get me going for 6 hours. Now if you're old like me you will feel a slight palpitation so watch it. Don't over do it, maybe try half a can first. ?2 points

I will post first.. as I have been subject to a slew of insults my whole life Aunt: alam mo dapat magpapayat ka, mag make up ka, magpaganda ka. Di ka mapropromote nyan. Me (in my head): I'm allergic to makeup and at most I can only wear lipstick. I was perfectly ok with my body until people started insulting me for it. And lastly, I thought promotions and career growth are based on merits, not looks. _____________ At work: Former co-lead (whenever I'm not around): idiota. Walang alam. Stupido. I stayed silent and then resigned a few weeks after. _____________ Mtc member: malusog ka pala. Papaya ka, tingnan mo hahabulin ka ng lalaki. I was already suffering from depression and low self-esteem at this time. I avoided confrontation and just stopped messaging.1 point

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.1 point

AstraZeneca is a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the development and commercialization of prescription medicine. Their medicines are targeted for the treatment of cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, inflammation, autoimmune, oncology, infection, and neuroscience diseases. AstraZeneca collaborated with the University of Oxford to create a COVID-19 vaccine. How their vaccine works: Like Russia’s Sputnik V, AstraZeneca’s vaccines use a genetically altered virus called adenovirus. This virus, which is not harmful to recipients, will carry spike protein (like the “crowns” in coronavirus). Injecting this, in theory, will help the immune system to recognize and attack coronavirus. AstraZeneca’s vaccine requires a regular fridge temperature for storage. Status development: AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford announced on December 8 that it finished the Phase 3 interim analysis for the vaccine. The researchers noted that the efficacy rate for two doses – with the first dose at half strength – reached 90 percent. While a combination of two full-strength doses only resulted in 62 percent efficacy. Issues and concerns: Scientists questioned the vaccine efficacy rate after the reported error in dosage. In a report published by the New York Times on November 25, experts inquired how the combination of half dosage for the first shot and full dosage for the second shot resulted in a 90 percent efficacy rate.1 point

COVAX Facility, also known as the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Acces Facility, is a global mechanism designed to guarantee rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines worldwide. It is co-led by Gavi, an international organization created to improve access to new and underused vaccines, along with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the World Health Organization. The Philippines joined COVAX Facility in July. How does COVAX Facility work? “The COVAX Facility will make investments across a broad portfolio of promising vaccine candidates (including those being supported by CEPI) to make sure at-risk investment in manufacturing happens now,” Gavi explained. Since it follows a pooling process, COVAX can ensure rapid access to vaccines. Status about COVID-19 vaccine: According to the Philippines’ vaccine czar Galvez, about 80 percent of the vaccines in the global market were already taken by rich countries. The COVAX Facility, on the other hand, was able to acquire 2 percent. This means that the country is “fighting” to secure the other 18 percent of the vaccine supply.1 point

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 13.1 point

Sinovac is a Beijing-based biopharmaceutical company founded in 2001. Their focus is on the research, development, and manufacture of vaccines against infectious diseases such as H1N1 influenza and COVID-19. How their vaccine works: Unlike Moderna, which uses RNA in its vaccines, Sinovac’s CoronaVac relies on inactivated pathogens that are grown and killed in laboratories. Similar to the inactivated vaccines used for polio, this vaccine uses the killed viruses to produce antigens which signal the immune system to attack the virus causing COVID-19. CoronaVac can be stored in a standard refrigerator at 2-8 degrees Celsius. Status development: In October, Sinovac submitted its application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Philippines to conduct Phase 3 clinical trials for CoronaVac in the country. COVID-19 policy chief implementer and vaccine czar Carlito Galvez, Jr. earlier said that the vaccine may be the first to be rolled out in the country, probably by the first quarter of 2021. Sinovac has yet to report the efficacy rate of CoronaVac. Issues and concerns: Sinovac has been recently reported to be involved in a bribery scandal. However, the company cleared out its CEO, Yin Weidong, of the accusations. Roll-out: According to Galvez, they are already finalizing negotiations with Sinovac. He said the pharmaceutical firm vowed to supply vaccines in the country by April 2021. However, Galvez negotiated to get it by March.1 point
