What’s Up With the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine?
It looks like the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19’s drug trial data contained some errors — particularly errors in administration of the vaccine itself and then documentation of the results. Not gonna lie, AstraZeneca’s clinical results for the new vaccine trials they have initiated should be given a searching review. Apparently, they have not always been fully forthcoming
Yelp Reviews of Anti-Covid-19 Vaccination Doctors
The New York Times thinks online patient reviews of doctors spouting dangerous anti-vaccination swill is the first place to express your concern, not the state licensing authority. I have always seen the value in such sites, but what have we become that we no longer think state medical boards care about science?
What’s Up With Unmarked Driverless Cars?
Sneaking out for a New Year’s Day walk around Land’s End, I pulled up next to a Waymo (formerly Google Car) driverless car near Civic Center. Yes, there was a safety driver in the car but I could see he did not have his hands on the steering wheel at the stop and did not
It’s Everyone for Themselves in a COVID-19 World

I follow the science, in this casual way, as well as the environmental action (or inaction) taken in response to the deleterious effects of decades of exposure to these tiny lung-damaging industrial particles. And, I also
CVS is Hiring for Vaccine Project!
Of course, it was never true that the mighty vaccination staffs of CVS and Walgreens, independent pharmacies, supermarket pharmacies, etc. combined would be able to vaccinate all takers. So, now CVS has to seriously bulk up to meet its contractual obligations. Walgreens can’t be far behind.
In America, the Fault Always Lies With Individuals
In America, the fault always seems to lie with individuals. We can’t seem to help ourselves.
Is the COVID-19 Vaccine Available Yet?
I discussed the reports of Americans arriving at CVS and Walgreens for a COVID-19 vaccination. I asked my students to send me a picture of any sign warning no COVID-19 vaccine is yet available if they came across one. It took the first student to locate one only three days to send the picture on.
