The state did not announce the new policy in any traditional fashion, such as issuing a press release or an official statement via its social media accounts.
Instead, Florida Department of Health spokesperson Jeremy Redfern made the announcement at 4:31 p.m. Friday using his personal Twitter account. The tweet included a popular meme featuring World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Vince McMahon reacting to the news.
The Florida Department of Health then retweeted Redfernâs announcement at 7:49 p.m., adding a cat meme and noting that itâs âno longer season 1 of the pandemic.â
In hindsight it was a huge oversight of the founders of this country to not include âIf states get up to shenanigans, they get demoted back to territory status and have to sit there in probation till they can get their shit togetherâ. I never imagined this thread and the meme thread would actually cross over at any point.
I wonder if the 5-11 vaccine having such low effectiveness at preventing infection (as opposed to serious illness, which it does do) is part of the holdup. Apparently the kidsâ vaccine provides almost 0 protection against mildly symptomatic infection⌠which explains LOT about January in my FB feedâŚ
Moderna is supposedly submitting their data âimminentlyâ, or at least thatâs what they said in an investor meeting last week. The CDC has started a marketing campaign highlighting the high hospitalization rate among under 5s during omicron which some people thinks means theyâre gearing up for a vaccine release that prevents hospitalization but not illness. So, basically all rumor right now.
Yes but Moderna split out 2-5 year olds so Iâm pretty sure thatâs all their submitting. Good in one sense because if Pfizer had done that we might have a vaccine for the littles by now. Bad for parents waiting on the younger set. Weâre in the Moderna trial and havenât gotten a second dose yet so Iâm pretty confident theyâre not submitting data for the youngest age group.
This is an investor meeting, so not like an official press release or anything, but this is the latest unofficial word. Maybe they are running extra kids to CYA in case the FDA asks for more data again?
Oh no! Hoping itâs mild for you. My mum and her partner caught it last week and she said it was a bad cold for her despite having asthma/ some lung issues so fingers crossed itâs even easier for you.
