💉 As part of the special project #LastBestShot, we’ve dispelled five of the most common myths about COVID-19 vaccines and their origins. Here’s the facts: bostonglobe.com/2021/08/17/met…
MYTH: The COVID-19 vaccines were developed too fast to be safe.
FACTS: The mRNA technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines had been in development for nearly two decades. In testing the vaccines for safety and efficacy, no corners were cut.

The infamous Boston Biogen conference shares several striking similarities with the July 4th celebrations in Provincetown.
But it appears Provincetown has not become a Biogen 2.0, even though it had the makings of an even bigger super-spreader event. bos.gl/Ewbqo64
