The company has vaccines for 10 viruses that are in, or about to be in, human trials. These include three types of Covid-19 boosters that are in mid-stage trials, a seasonal flu shot that began its first human study in July, and HIV shots that are slated to begin studies later this year. Shots to combats cytomegalovirus, a ubiquitous bug that spreads through bodily fluids and is a common cause of birth defects; it’s set to begin a Phase III trial this year in women of childbearing age. 

In the long term, Moderna is aiming to develop an annual super-shot that could suppress numerous respiratory ailments, including Covid, the flu, and others. “Our goal is to give you several mRNAs in a single shot at your local CVS or GP every August or September,” Bancel says.

 Rightshttps://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2021/07/14/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-before-meeting-with-disabilities-advocates-to-discuss-voting-rights/

Something has happened. The damn is breaking and the mainstream media is getting the message. “Yes. The active measures by republicans to disenfranchise Americans across the country disproportionately affects black and brown voters, But it also drastically disproportionately affects the 38 million voting age disabled folks living in America right now”. What Republicans are taking away may be options to most, but to the disabled, these things are accommodations, agreed to by the government, and once granted can not be just taken away. We count on a variety of accommodations because we are a diverse demographic. If you make this an African American thing, people will brush it off as an African American problem. If you can imagine the intersectionality voter suppression affects, you’ll begin to build a coalition, There are 49 million disabled. 45 million Black Americans. Almost one third of the country. Hi Al Sharpton. My name is Jason. I’d like to be friends.
