Here is something to shove in your antique. Interesting the exhaust is in the valley, must suck air in from where the exhaust manifold normally goes, or else it is just a mock up for the photo shoot. Hard to run the exhaust pipe from that location. :xyxthumbs

Australia's covid response, gets a bit of credit on the World stage.

From the article:
US billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates has applauded Australia’s pandemic strategy.
Speaking at the inaugural Munich Security Council, Mr Gates said Australia’s ability to quickly implement restrictions allowed the island nation to suppress Covid cases early on.

“If every country does what Australia did, then you wouldn’t be calling [the next outbreak] a pandemic,” he said.

Pfizer Covid vaccine was just 12% effective against omicron in kids 5 to 11, study finds​


  • New York state officials found the effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine against Covid infection plummeted from 68% to 12% for children aged 5 to 11 during the omicron surge.
  • The dramatic drop in vaccine effectiveness was likely due to the lower dosage the youngsters received, according to study team members.
  • The data comes as New York City plans to end its school mask mandate by March 7.

Pfizer and BioNTech’s two-dose Covid vaccine provided very little protection for children aged 5 to 11 during the wave of omicron infection in New York, according to a study published Monday.​
​
The New York State Department of Health found that the effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine against Covid infection plummeted from 68% to 12% for kids in that age group during the omicron surge from Dec. 13 through Jan 24. Protection against hospitalization dropped from 100% to 48% during the same period.​
​
The study has not yet undergone peer review, the academic gold standard. Due to the public health urgency of the pandemic, scientists have been publishing the results of their studies before such review.​
​
The team of public health officials who conducted the study said the dramatic drop in vaccine effectiveness among children 5 to 11 years old was likely due to the lower dosage they received. Kids in this age group are given two 10-microgram shots, while children aged 12 to 17 receive 30-microgram shots.​
