The second promising coronavirus vaccine from Moderna has tested 94 percent effective at preventing symptomatic illness and appears to prevent the spread of the virus as well. It looks like all systems are go for FDA "emergency use" approval by the end of the week.
The high efficacy of the Moderna vaccine was noted after two doses given 28 days apart. This is about the same level of effectiveness as the Pfizer vaccine.

A student journalist at Frostburg State University in Maryland has written some stories which are critical of the school's COVID-19 policies. Then something bizarre happened. She reattached a note to a staff member's door after finding it on the floor and was subsequently told she was being investigated for harassment.

I tried hard to word a decent headline but the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) makes it impossible. The teachers will not return to the classroom with the students in January. So the cash-strapped city will hire supervisors to be in classes and at the school with the students. This is because the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) refuses to get back to work.

As I read today about how the first truckloads of the Pfizer Wuhan coronavirus vaccine were rolled out this morning for delivery and distribution to frontline healthcare workers and nursing homes, my thoughts turned to the media's/left's eight-months-long effort to undercut President Trump's claims on various treatments for the virus as well as his touting of an accelerated vaccine timeline.

Business owners throughout New York are suffering and struggling to pay bills and feed their families, largely due to the COVID policies of Governor Andrew Cuomo. Just this week, he reinstated the ban on indoor dining. None of this is going to prevent Cuomo from celebrating, however. This week, he is holding a virtual reception as a campaign fundraiser with Hollywood celebrities, a key constituency of the Democrat party.

Few aspects of the holidays can be more stressful than travel. For some families, the challenges are compounded because they are dealing with tired, hungry, and fussy babies and toddlers. When government mask mandates are imposed, with questionable effectiveness in reducing the spread of the virus, it can result in a real "nightmare before Christmas."
