well he started out his career on The Bucks' "plantation" and they be this years' champions as well as famously pro-vax, so there's that:

I seem to vaguely recall some real major shit going down when I still lived in Milwaukee about Kareem saying publicly what he wanted to get out of that rinky dink hick town- which he soon did, and I think he will never be forgiven for that.

Meantime, I heard that the citizens of Milwaukee, which love pro sports uber alles, apparently went over the moon delerious about their Bucks winning, all of them all colors, creeds and politics were pluribus unum in happy celebration and pride.

So I suspect they all got 99% vaxxed by now, because their Bucks told them to!

Somewhere in heaven, Marv Fishman, one of The Bucks main founders, including helping to draft the once-known-as-Lew, who I knew and was absolutely the nicest liberal friendly little Jewish guy you'd ever want to meet, is smiling down. (Comes to mind: now he should have been in politics, he'd know to do "social justice" right, winning people over rather than alienating them.)

p.s. You have to git that Aaron Rodgers is a Green Bay cheesehead thing. And that people who live within the city limits of Milwaukee are definitely NOT cheeseheads, would not ever wear a cheesehead, even though as they are patriotic Wisconsinites who will root for the Packers and can tailgate beer and brats for the Packers and yell watching the games on teevee with the best of them. But they are prouder of The Bucks, because those are Milwaukee's own....

The U.K. approves Merck’s

The U.K. approves Merck’s molnupiravir, making it the first pill to be endorsed for treating Covid.

@ NYTimes.com, Covid news live, today

Britain on Thursday became the first country to authorize the use of an antiviral pill for Covid-19, an easy-to-use treatment that could help tame the pandemic.

The drug, known as molnupiravir and sold by the pharmaceutical company Merck, was shown in a key clinical trial to reduce by half the risk of hospitalization and death in high-risk Covid patients who were treated early in their infections. Dispensed from a pharmacy and taken at home, the drug is expected to reach many more people than treatments like monoclonal antibodies, which are typically administered intravenously at a hospital or clinic.

Britain, which has already ordered enough supplies of the pill for 480,000 people, is one of growing list of wealthy countries that have raced to lock up supplies of the drug.

Merck said last week it has reached deals to sell the pills to the governments of the United States, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, Serbia and Singapore.

The drug is expected to become available in the United States as soon as December, after a panel of experts meets at the end of this month to make a recommendation to the Food and Drug Administration about whether it should be authorized for high-risk Covid patients. The United States has ordered enough supply of the drug for 1.7 million patients, at a cost of about $700 per person.

Britain’s regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, recommended giving the drug to people as soon as possible after a positive coronavirus test and within five days of the onset of symptoms. The full course of treatment is 40 pills over five days.

The regulator authorized the drug for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people who have at least one trait — such as being over 60 years old or having obesity — that would put them at high risk for becoming severely ill from the virus.[....]

Tyson workers reach a 96 percent vaccination rate, with 60,500 shots coming after a mandate.

A retail trade group calls the Biden vaccine mandate ‘burdensome.’

excerpt:

Several large employers — including Walmart, the nation’s largest private employer; Amazon, the second-largest; and Target — declined to comment. Gap, the owner of Banana Republic and Old Navy, said that it had nothing new to share and pointed to a September statement about incentives it was offering to encourage vaccinations among staff, including weekly drawings to win $1,000.

A representative for Macy’s said on Thursday that its staff was strongly encouraged to get vaccinated and that it was “studying the most recent government mandate and will implement it as required.”

Tho she's probably anti-mandate, she has a good summary of the new ones, because she has looked up the rules:

JUST IN - Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate begins January 4, with hefty fines for noncompliance.

Large employers with 100+ workers must mandate vaccinations and/or weekly testing and masks for those who refuse the vaccine.
