Feds indicted a Florida man for fraudulently marketing & selling “Miracle Mineral Solution,” a toxic industrial bleach, as a cure for #COVID19.
Meanwhile, exactly 1 year earlier—another Florida voter kinda peddled the same thing on TV—but wasn’t indicted. Yet.
2) “Trump took to the WH briefing room and encouraged his top health officials to study the injection of bleach into the human body as a means of fighting Covid. It was a watershed moment, soon to become iconic in the annals of presidential briefings.” politico.com/news/2021/04/2…

Triple huge news—Pfizer expects to apply for vaccine EUA for kids 2-11 with FDA in September. It also plans to apply this month (May) for full approval of the vaccine for ages 16-85. And it will have trial data in pregnant women by early August. #COVID19 nytimes.com/2021/05/04/hea…
2) By early next week, the F.D.A. is expected to issue an emergency use authorization allowing the vaccine to be used in children 12 to 15 years old, a major step ahead in the U.S. fight against #COVID19.

Airborne aerosols in a Liverpool 🇬🇧 nightclub— I’m sure if the smoke cannon was an actual virus plume, nobody would get infected right?
Crowded indoor nightclubs anyone if you’re not vaccinated? #COVID19
2) Yes, I’m aware the UK is conducting a research study in Liverpool. My concern is that we know the #sarscov2 Coronavirus has a tendency to either superspread or not due to the K dispersion factor — the transmission R is highly variable. One study enough? bbc.com/news/newsbeat-…
3) “in real life, some people infect many others and others don’t spread the disease at all. In fact, the latter is the norm. “The consistent pattern is that the most common number is zero. Most people do not transmit.” sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/w…
