Get ready for the post-Thanksgiving Day weekend surge!

Anyone find it odd that the CEO of Pfizer sells 62% of his shares the same day he announces a possible vaccine?

Edit. It was after the 8% stock jump

Pfizer's CEO cashed out $5.6 million of stock after trumpeting its COVID-19 vaccine. That's 30% of his total compensation last year

Albert Bourla earned a total of $18.2 million in salary, bonuses, and long-term stock awards in 2019.

Him selling more than half his stock was obviously big news because that’s a big chunk
Outsiders can only speculate but the only ones who know more are the insiders ... and even they sometimes cannot fully predict how the stock will perform ( many variables) ...the stock price didn’t move that much (8%) with the announcement because the market as usual was already expecting it and the SP reflected that months ago..... having said that he did get to dump it while it made small gains . Maybe he was expecting a bigger jump and when it didn’t materialize he figured it will only go flat for a long time to come or who knows , stock market/manipulation is nothing new in this rigged game but it doesn’t always happen in a way you think it’s going to happen

One things for sure is that if someone already owned this particular stock or was thinking of buying in they now must have some serious doubts of what would be the right move

Also, the Pfizer vaccine has nothing to do with Trumpy or any government agency like the moderna vaccine. It doesn’t have anything to do with trumpy. Has everything to do with Pfizer. All Trumpys done with the Pfizer vaccine is called the ceo asking him to crank it out by Election Day.

Not true TNB, Pfizer is part of Operation Warp Speed..even the spokesperson came out and corrected the misconception after someone else from Pfizer told the press they weren’t. They were guaranteed $1.95B if they developed a safe and effective vaccine on the back end. This gave them the incentive to get into the game and invest hundreds of millions of their own money on R&D.

The most important things to watch are : the positivity %, the increase in hospitalisations that can overwhelm health care systems.
In USA, all of these are increasing in many states.

A buddy of mine in New York City texted me tonight and told me his luck had run out and he tested positive this morning. He said his symptoms are low grade fever, fatigue, headaches and nausea but his sense of taste and smell are not impacted so far. His wife tested negative, but she must be going bananas because they live together. He said his breathing is OK so far but the doctor told him to get his ass to hospital if he deteriorates. He is at home resting.

This is getting totally out of control! I wonder who is going to be next?

 

[Fradi]

EB,

I hope your buddy recovers fast and his symptoms remain mild.
My buddies mom went in for a routine operation and contracted Covid in the hospital.
The operation was a success but she died from the virus. She was 82 and relatively healthy for her age.
It is now getting to the point when we are all starting to have people or relatives of people we know get seriously sick or die from this shit.

NY, especially NYC has been surging with new Covid cases. But it's not as bad as you would think. As of yesterday it's at 2.2%. It just sucks being part of that 2.2%. The upstate and western region is seeing surges above 5%. The rest of the country is doing much worse than that. Wearing masks, social distancing, washing hands, etc. is really all we have against Covid and it doesn't seem to be working. Lockdowns are coming. I had a minor elective surgery purposely done in September in anticipation of a surge. I read the book "The Great Influenza" about the 1917 pandemic and was convinced that the summer was the calm before the storm. What sucks about my procedure is that there was a slight complication and I need to go under the blade again for literally 10 minutes. So I'm even nervous as shit about that. But as long as the positivity rate stays around 2% it should be fine. If anybody has an elective surgery that they are putting off, your probably better off waiting until the spring if you can.

Stay strong lads, we’ll get through this one. All the best to all’s families.

 

[sene5hos]

I sympathize with you, and I understand you because my mother died in a CHSLD, she only stayed 5 weeks before dying (thank you my God, she didn't suffer very long).
What was sad is that I was the only one in my family who could see her before she left us.

So when I hear people say it's just the flu, and they don't want to follow instructions, it makes me aggressive.

 

[IamNY]

I haven't really heard anyone saying it's just the flu. Flu like symptoms, yes, but that's about it. We have plenty of therapeutics now and a better understanding of Covid which is probably why the death rate is still relatively low. Let's hope the next couple of weeks keep the death toll down or else the hospitals will be overrun like they were in April.

Moderna vaccine 94.5% effective. More good news:

Moderna's coronavirus vaccine is 94.5% effective, according to company data | CNN

The Moderna vaccine is 94.5% effective against coronavirus, according to early data released Monday by the company, making it the second vaccine in the United States to have a stunningly high success rate.

[Sol Tee Nutz]

^^^^^^ And the Moderna does not require the ultra cold storage of Pfizer.

 

[IamNY]

^^^^Yes! The smart people on television were saying that the Moderna vaccine is easier to get to the general public and that the Pfizer vaccine will probably be used in Hospitals and medical offices that are better prepared to keep it cold.

So Cuomo is going to sue President Trump over the possible vaccine distribution because the inner city poor will not have the same access to the new vaccine as the average American. Why? Well because private enterprise is going to release the vaccine. This means you go to Walgreens or CVS to get your shot and the poor do not have access. Why? Because they burned their Walgreens during the last BLM/ANTIFA rally. Great! Fuck em. Let them walk to the nearest pharmacy they forgot to raze to the ground.

I feel bad for people that didn’t partake in the riots and looting but they should take their anger to the voting booths and expel all local officials that represent them.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Oh but they did luv, they so did...

Anywhoo

He experienced a severe reaction to Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate. He’s still a believer

A participant in the clinical trial of Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine who experienced a severe reaction describes it for the first time — and explains why he remains an advocate.

My brother’s friend died earlier this month from COVID in Portland, OR. He was 63, 100% healthy, an avid tennis player and mounting bike rider. Diagnosis: bad luck

I haven't really heard anyone saying it's just the flu.

I guess you don`t listen to your beloved orange one. Its on tape . He calls covid19 just another flu that will soon go away...that was about a month ago. You may also want to re-read some of the early comments on this thread when it was called just another bad cold by some posters who should have known better.

BTW anyone can get it and what is scary is that they don`t know how they got it. A wealthy doctor whom I know is in hospital with a serious case of cv19 and is being treated with the same medical cocktail that trump got.

So, one person, that you’ve heard on tape? That’s quite the list. As far as early comments on this thread, none of us knew how bad this was going to be. So I’ll pass on re-reading earlier comments. That would be foolish. We have two vaccines almost ready to go to the public because of Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed”. If you don’t want to take it, that’s fine to. More for us.

Odd that during the covid spike the flu cases dropped, one fuck of a lot.

Found this clip today....

At this point in last year's flu season, Canada had already recorded 711 positive cases of influenza.

So far this year, there have been just 17.

"Influenza is way behind the eight ball here," said Dr. Gerald Evans, chair of infectious disease in the department of medicine at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.
