No story for the evening update yet, just the headline..but I did find an interesting Agence France Presse wire article that says that the contract according to USA Today (now on Durdge) has an 'option' clause for an extra order of 250 million.

This is in addition to the first order for every man woman and child in the United States.

[Alas]

As for me, I'll definitely get in line, though.

As will most people I'm sure. But as for me, well, I never was very big on lines.

Just think, I'll be one less person you'll have to wait behind.

I hope they test this vaccine. I can imagine the result if the vaccine itself was tainted.

[Alas]

Why are we buying 500 million doses when there are only 285 million people in the US? I hope we are not planning to subsidize vaccines to the rest of the world.

Why, how anti one world you are, how could we, as a country live with ourselves if we didn't give the rest of the world our shots too?

Ps, they can use mine for anyone in the word thaey want to, as long as they don't try to use it on me.

"3) Some evil force is taking advantage of the sheeple with the goal of depopulation, and the vaccine itself is the culprit. Yikes."

I think I'll hold a up a little while and trust that my vacination I received as a child will still do me SOME good. There was a thread a week or so ago about nanochips being implanted with our information when they do the vaccinations this time.

Pretty scary - No Mark of the Beast for me!

I believe the objection to one of the companies in the running for making the vaccine, which I share, is that they developed their vaccine from fetal tissue from an aborted baby.

I know they can make a vaccine without such research/use. I was vaccinated when young in the 1960's and I am sure that the vaccine had no such "taint" to it. On principle I could not take such a vaccine that was so tainted. I hope the contract goes to the comapny not using such measures.

Anyhow, that is what I understand and I am researching it more now.

Regards.

I would have many of the same objections if the vaccine were obtained from such a source. I do not believe that the vaccine currently on hand or being purchased is from such a source as the production of such a vaccine from such a source would not be proven yet. I do not know the exact method for the production of the additional vaccine doses. I wish I did.

Smallpox vaccinations started in the 1700's and it is certain that human fetal cells were not available for reasearch at that point. I think but am not sure calf skin was used to grow the vaccine in the early part of the twentieth century.
