The FDA has given full approval for the Pfizer vaccine. 

Yesterday - so when I posted that Covid vaccines were issued due to an Emergency Use Authorization I was correct.

Pfizer was until 23 Aug - not before.

The term 'skin of your teeth' comes to mind

"The Food and Drug Administration has formally approved Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. The widely anticipated decision replaces the emergency use authorization granted by the agency last December."

Now just hope the rest of the vaccines released under EUA get full approval.

As TA said above - hook up a charged battery to the dead one. Once - in his case - the dead one reached 7V, the charger can take over.

Some will start to charge at lower voltages, some at higher.

Clinical trials

Phase 1 - several months

Phase 2 - several months to 2 years

Phase 3 - 1 to 4 years

FDA approval

Phase 4 - This phase is often called “Post-Approval Research and Monitoring.” After a new treatment is approved by the FDA, the pharmaceutical or device company may want to continue monitoring patients to learn more about the treatment’s longer-term effects, while comparing it against other already-approved options. It may take time for long-term side effects to appear, making this an important phase.

It's Frustrating that the US FDA spends billions subsidizing the big pharma industries yet does little to fund such clinical trials of perhaps useful herbal & traditional medications.

They also actively block people to source the required drugs from other sources.

When I was on Hep C cure, I took 2 pills a day. for 90 days.

One pill cost $1000 USD each. Can't remember the price of the other.

Full course of treatment, pills manufactured in India - generic - $2000 USD

If you wanted the Indian, you were forced to break the law in importing them.

Regeneran is only available under emergency FDA approval, and the long term effects are not well understood by medical researchers. 
 

in other words, irony is lost on you.

Like Covid vaccines then

It may not be an issue now but was not good if your rear window had defroster coils like my 1985 Subaru - they came off with the film.  

Heat gun would loosen the film without removing the defroster

  I have hated it from the start, but do not see any way of removing tints. 

Find the corner of the film, at the top. Peel back. Once you have a piece peeled off, a shot of glass cleaner between the film and the glass will help.

Pull slowly and gently.

Viola - gone.

Australia

 

Not perfect, there is influence by the powerful, rich, and the media, but pretty good. Free and fair elections. You seem to be aiming for absolutes so you become disappointed.

Same with people.

Most I think have some natural moderation process to keep us between too good and too bad. There are exceptions, and some of those are the high profile leaders who get the headlines, while your neighbours, friends, and family and most people on this site are fairly goodish  people. 

 

Things such as drugs, money,  and power can intoxicate and throw us off track towards taking actions that hurt, or hinder others, but the sign that people are not too bad are the societal controls in place to either help us or punish us when we go to far. In countries like Australia. 

You can do your thing each day. That's a sign people aren't too bad where you are. 

You actually believe that the elections are Free and Fair ?

Politicians get elected by the campaigns they run, the platform they espouse.

These campaigns are paid for by special interest groups and individuals with contributions aimed at furthering their personal goals and increasing their personal fortunes.

Aiming for nothing - but I do not use Rose colored glasses either

You moderate for the Mainstream Media ? Fox, CNN, BBC, Reuters, ...

You are free to believe what you choose.

Let others do the same.

And think, and act, and hold opinions. And state them, without fear of reprisal by jack booted thugs called - at various times - the Police, the Gov't, Religion, etc etc etc

Facebook in Myanmar let free speech reign. Not for ethical reasons but because they didn't want the cost of moderation. Chatter started about the Rohingya and that they were responsible for this and that. As usual there is a tiny bit of truth but then constant lies and exaggerations led to a full blown massacre, and those that could, had to flee to the neighboring country. That's despite them having a history in the country for 100's of years. It is widely accepted that facebook added to it by letting lies, fear, and hate spread so much faster and get out of control than it would otherwise. That's an example where I think free speech has to be moderated and it can apply to certain similar situations.

What if Jim Jones could have got on Facebook and told people around the world to drink the Kool aid. 

For covid there are possibilities, ideas, half truths, exaggerations and out right lies.  Yes it is hard to define which is which but not impossible - most things should be left alone but outright lies by powerful and influential people should at least have a warning sign. 

These are just examples where some moderation may be appropriate if lives are at stake. 

And who makes the decision to "Moderate" ?

The Gov't ? The Media ?

When Einstein gave lectures at U.S. universities, the recurring question that students asked him most was:

- Do you believe in God?

And he always answered:

- I believe in the God of Spinoza.

Baruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes.

(Spinoza) : God would say:

Stop praying.

What I want you to do is go out into the world and enjoy your life. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I've made for you.

Stop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. That's where I live and there I express my love for you.

Stop blaming me for your miserable life; I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. So don't blame me for everything they made you believe.

Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. If you can't read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son's eyes... you will find me in no book!

Stop asking me "will you tell me how to do my job?" Stop being so scared of me. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry, or bothered. I am pure love.

Stop asking for forgiveness, there's nothing to forgive. If I made you... I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies... free will. How can I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How can I punish you for being the way you are, if I'm the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that?

Respect your peers and don't do what you don't want for yourself. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life, that alertness is your guide.

My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, nor a prelude to paradise. This life is the only thing here and now and it is all you need.

I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record.

You are absolutely free to create in your life. Heaven or hell.

I can't tell you if there's anything after this life but I can give you a tip. Live as if there is not. As if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist.

So, if there's nothing after, then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. And if there is, rest assured that I won't ask if you behaved right or wrong, I'll ask. Did you like it? Did you have fun? What did you enjoy the most? What did you learn?...

Stop believing in me; believing is assuming, guessing, imagining. I don't want you to believe in me, I want you to believe in you. I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea.

Stop praising me, what kind of egomaniac God do you think I am?

I'm bored being praised. I'm tired of being thanked. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. Express your joy! That's the way to praise me.

Stop complicating things and repeating as a parakeet what you've been taught about me.

What do you need more miracles for? So many explanations?

The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.

- Spinoza

Starting with the premise of things being all due to power, corruption, and lies is a leap of faith that human nature is bad and that nothing is as it seems - a type of paranoia.

I would not say ALL things ...

But ask yourself - how many good people have you met - full of compassion, honest, kind, caring ...

And how many Ash Whole S have you met ...

In my case the latter far far outweighs the former.

This is not a scientific truth, this is what I have seen in my life.

Am I wrong ?  If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it is probably a duck

Free speech is not free publication.  I am not obliged to repeat your views, and nor is TV or Facebook.

Stopping the publication is a Ban on Free Speech.

I may not agree with you, but I will stand up for your right to say it.

This goes for any subject - and I mean ANY
