"It was not this vice alone that grew, but to all to which human nature is generally liable: especially the vice which today also overthrows the place that appertains to all good in the island, that is to say, hatred of truth together with those who defend it, love of falsehood together with its fabricators, undertaking evil for good, respect for wickedness rather than for kindness."

The Trump administration and its toadies?

Last night, one of my (many) patients with COVID told me she had a large Thanksgiving dinner with family—22 people. The day after, one family member tested positive. Since then (according to my patient) *ALL* 22 people have developed symptoms, some severe.

Pfizer’s Vaccine Offers Strong Protection After First Dose "an A+ report card” for a vaccine-

WASHINGTON — The coronavirus vaccine made by Pfizer and BioNTech provides strong protection against Covid-19 within about 10 days of the first dose, according to documents published on Tuesday by the Food and Drug Administration before a meeting of its vaccine advisory group.

The finding is one of several significant new results featured in the briefing materials, which include more than 100 pages of data analyses from the agency and from Pfizer. Last month, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their two-dose vaccine had an efficacy rate of 95 percent after two doses administered three weeks apart. The new analyses show that the protection starts kicking in far earlier.

What’s more, the vaccine worked well regardless of a volunteer’s race, weight or age. While the trial did not find any serious adverse events caused by the vaccine, many participants did experience aches, fevers and other side effects.

on how there's plenty of blame to go around, that it's not just Trump:

#EmergencyAlert trending on Twitter, apparently because everyone in California just got one:

If you had told me a year ago that this would be an emergency alert on my phone - to stay inside because the virus is spreading rapidly - I can’t even begin to imagine what would go through my head. pic.twitter.com/0pFcJ9HYWr

Some believe the arrival of three promising coronavirus vaccines will hasten the end of the pandemic, write Achal Prabhala, @arjun_jayadev and @DeanBaker13. "But this is not the beginning of the end; it is only the beginning of an endless wait." https://t.co/zPWu3m4Lgc
