Sorry guys, this is all I've got for now. The stock is up 30% today, apparently on this news.

Sounds like it's a done deal as far as the contracting goes.

I have a few questions:

Who/how many are going to voluntarily get vaccinations?

What is actually in the "vaccinations?"

Will you and your family have a choice on whether you get vaccinated?

Will we get "chipped" or will we just have a government provided card to verify that we have been properly vaccinated?

I’d be worried about “Retractable.” Does the needle retract? Then get used again without any disinfection?

Or does the name imply that their stock price bump is retractable?

What a weird name.

Nope! Wonder if this will have the tracker chip included. So much for HIPPA privacy huh?

It’s largely about avoiding needle sticks.

Was it Illinois that boasted just last week that they’d purchased millions of syringes for a future vaccination campaign? We seem to be rushing headlong into a creepy dystopian future.

No. Only one time use. Retracts and is discarded to prevent injury by a contaminated needle.

Here’s a little more info from Yahoo Finance on Retractable Technologies (nothing pertinent for now, IMHO) - https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/RVP?p=RVP

I took a pass on the Swine Flu vaccine and I’m still alive today.

Too many others are not.

money quote:
The most damning charge against the vaccination program was that the shots were correlated with an increase in the number of patients diagnosed with an obscure neurological disease known as Guillain–Barré syndrome

might want to look this over as well
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4599698/
From the piece -
The “Cutter Incident” in 1955 involved a flaw in the Salk polio vaccine manufacturing process at Cutter Laboratories that led to production of substantial amounts of what was thought to be inactivated vaccine that contained live poliovirus. The result has been called “…one of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in US history

Hey, I can save them some money - don’t bother buying one for me, I won’t be getting any jacked-up vaccination slammed out in a hurry.

You need to loosen your tinfoil hat on a regular basis.

What???

Benzinga is a financial info site. The company (RVP) is a $120M cap stock, avg trad volume per day is 378,745, but today is trading at 9.5 million shares and is up 26%. By my calculation, that's 25 times normal volume.

This is the only news I'm seeing on this stock.

Tin foil? I'm just stating financial info.

I would think that Benzinga would be subject to the scrutiny of the Securities and Exchange Commission for stock manipulation if the info were untrue. Ya think?

They can delete one from that order.

No way am I getting this vaccine.

I am not anti-vax, but this one is one I will NOT take.

There are "retractable" needles out there...right now. Although I think that's a misnomer...

It's just a safety device...Usually a sheath manually slid down over the needle.An NO they are not used again.

Your “few questions” are not ‘financial information’ but take you deep into the ‘anti-vaccer’ tin foil land.
Once you start

I beg to disagree. I have advocated strongly for getting flu shots for years. However a guy I know suffered tremendously for months this past Fall from Guillain–Barré syndrome after getting a flu shot.

There has just been too much over the top news on the pandemic that wasn't and how we all need Bill Gates' vaccine to save us, or else.

Just say "No!" to the globablist pro-vaccine gang.
