Sat, 2020-12-19 19:38 — mike kraft

Allergic reactions reported in two health workers who received a dose of Pfizer’s vaccine in Alaska this week have reignited concerns that people with a history of extreme immune flare-ups might not be good candidates for the newly cleared shots.

Trump Claims Credit for Vaccines. Some of His Backers Don’t Want to Take Them.

Sat, 2020-12-19 10:14 — mike kraft

But Ms. Graves, a legal transcriptionist in Starkville, Miss., said she would not be taking a coronavirus vaccine — and the sight of Vice President Mike Pence rolling up his sleeve to get vaccinated on live television on Friday, she added, would not change her mind.
