Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

It doesn’t just magically get made.

Sure it does, in fact the sun has magically sent 33.3 kWh (so far) to the grid from my backyard today, the house magically got 5.7 kWh.

I would not be surprised if it is similar to the approved covid vaccine. Sure, it was approved over six months ago. And not a single person has gotten the approved version yet.

I don't understand this. If they were "fully approved" (as opposed to "emergency approved") 6 months ago, what did everyone who got a shot (initial, second, booster) in the last 6 months get? And ... since there is no difference between the original and current vaccines other than the type of approval, doesn't that mean that everyone who got a Covid vaccine got the approved version?

It is chemically the same. It is legally different. If a person gets what is labeled as emergency approved then the manufacturer is not libel for any harm it might cause. If a person gets what is labeled fully approved then the manufacturer can be held liable for harm it caused. At the very least, they would have to try to defend themselves in court... court costs, research costs, PR costs. And wild card of whether they would win even if they were innocent. (Juries have a tendency to rule for hurting people against big companies even when they don't believe the big company caused the hurting).

With it fully approved but not actually giving out the approved version, they get to keep their cake while eating it too.

But certianly not substainable energy, from a novelty solar panel that took more energy to produce than it will ever produce. Made in China with rare metals mined in Russia and heavily subsudised by US taxpayers.
No, the electricity has to be converted from coal, nat. gas, or nuclear. Much 'dirtier' than gasoline. But when idealogy is more important than science...

If it is chemically the same it IS the approved version. You are saying they have a massive stockpile of "pre-approved" vaccine and haven't made any more since official approval?

Or hydro which is the largest part of the power from my utility.

Wow!!! Awesome.

Although, at this point, I'm pretty cynical about most things covid related. I would not be surprised if it is similar to the approved covid vaccine. Sure, it was approved over six months ago. And not a single person has gotten the approved version yet.

I hope people realize it isn't the Ivermectin that disables the virus. The Ivermectin gets the zinc into the cells where it (the zinc), can disable the virus. Or, possibly the zinc is what the cell needs to disable the virus.

Oh. The FDA website hasn't changed what it says about Ivermectin. And it isn't on the list of drugs approved in the last two weeks. It might be earlier?

How weird. I was shocked when I read it. Maybe it is fake news.

I guess it is for a ivermectin lotion to treat head lice.

Wonder if we could use something like this on chickens.

Chemically the same can still have different legal standing. Licensing and labeling are big deals in selling food; I'm sure it is at least as much so for meds also.

No. I think they continued making it under the emergency license. And, to be fair, I haven't looked to see if things have changed recently (a few months)... it was meant as a way of saying there is a difference between "available" as in legally/theoretically possible and "available" in actually coming home with some.

Who can afford to buy solar panels? Certainly not enough to power a vehicle.

I know an Amish guy that put a solar panel on top of his carriage to keep his 12 volt battery charged. That's what he used for his carriage lights and it worked really well.
