COVID-19

Are you talking about Sanofi producing one of the approved vaccines under license? (Was that ever a thing?) Or an actual Sanofi vaccine? No. I am talking about: 1) me taking a Pfizer COVID booster, 2) county officials manually entering that info into county database 3) the database generating a QR-...

Just in case somebody can help: I'm about to go to Dubai, and that country requires QR-coded proof of vaccination if one does not want to get tested.

Quick update on QR code vaccination proof documents: Walgreens apparently has a "known problem" with connecting your COVID vaccination info in your account to the actual QR certificate.

As I’ve said before… I’ll vote for a brain dead Fetterman over that snake oil salesman. Even if Oz wins, it’s nuts how the GOP shot themselves in the foot in so many races. All they had to do was not elect a psycho in the primary and they take the house, senate, and so much more. How exactly did th...
