JUST IN—FDA decided that ~60 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson #COVID19 vaccine produced at Emergent (Baltimore factory) must be discarded because of possible contamination. But 10 million doses can be used with a disclosure warning. 🧵

2) FDA cannot guarantee that Emergent BioSciences, the company that operates the plant, followed good manufacturing practices. The agency has not yet decided whether Emergent can reopen the factory, which has been closed for two months because of regulatory concerns

3) For weeks the F.D.A. has been trying to figure out what to do about at least 170 million doses of vaccine that were left in limbo after the discovery of a major production mishap involving two vaccines manufactured at the site.

Vaccinations not required? Two #COVID19 cases on a Mediterranean cruise ship. CDC is also not requiring cruise 🛳 to sail with vaccinated passengers. Some cruises will, but Florida prohibits vaccine requirements & will fine cruise companies for asking 🔥

2) The first cruise from U.S. with paying passengers scheduled to sail in June. Celebrity Cruises ship will require everyone age >=16 to be fully vaccinated—which conflicts with a Florida law that says businesses can’t ask for proof of vaccination status. washingtonpost.com/travel/2021/05…

3) MSC Cruises recently got approval from the CDC to conduct a test cruise on that vessel. The company said it will “welcome both vaccinated and non-vaccinated guests,” with those who are not vaccinated subject to additional testing and restrictions. mscpressarea.com/en_US/press-re…

PAY ATTENTION—the #DeltaVariant is the biggest worry & becoming more dominant worldwide. Why?

📍More contagious

📍More severe (⬆️hospitalization risk)

📍Lower vaccine efficacy/neutralization—1 dose just not enough.

2) It’s critical to recognize that the #DeltaVariant is rising underneath the decrease of the #AlphaVariant #B117. Many have been complacent about this. But Delta is doubling every week now in 🇬🇧!

3) India 🇮🇳 doctors have been sharing concerns that #DeltaVariant is more severe / affecting more kids. Singapore 🇸🇬 MOH is also warning it is affecting children a lot.

2) “Kate learned last month from a team of doctors at Boston Children’s Hospital that she is suffering from the post-Covid syndrome better known as long Covid. An antibody test ordered by her pediatrician confirmed she had been infected with Covid-19.

3) “It’s really difficult,” she said. “As a gymnast, I’ve always pushed through different types of pain and injury. I try to push myself, but with this whole experience, it’s just been too hard.”
