Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
@FD1000-
You are correct- additional information has been released subsequent to that statement by Pfizer. From CNN:
Pfizer's senior vice president and head of vaccine research and development, Kathrin Jansen, publicly distanced the company from t…
Seriously though, that pic sure captures the essence of the rabid right wing. AND I DON'T MEAN CONSERVATIVES: I mean the rabid right wing. Does that fellow look the least bit "conservative"? Anyone in his vicinity should be thinking about a rabies s…
"The usual, unbalanced emotional lib responses."
@FD1000- You mean like refusing to acknowledge losing a presidential election? Reality becomes "fake" if it doesn't cooperate with right-wing wishes. Nothing new there.
@FD1000: Evidently you missed this part:
"the vice-president, Mike Pence, tried to claim their administration’s Operation Warp Speed programme had helped the vaccine’s development."
Pfizer denied the suggestion:
“We were never part of the Warp Spee…

Odd. You'd think that Putin would be happy about the election of a brother socialist/communist, right?
Maybe we should check with Gary and @FD1000 to sort this out.
More on this from The Guardian:
Hopes are soaring that a Covid vaccine is within reach, following news that an interim analysis has shown Pfizer/BioNTech’s candidate was 90% effective in protecting people from transmission of the virus in global tri…
The Washington Times: "Reliable Reporting. The Right Opinion"
A total joke of a "newspaper", but for sure they are good with "The Right Opinion". As might be expected, they proudly carry garbage from "the Media Research Center"
Indeed. Just anothe…
I'm not at all sure that I'd like Mr. Louis DeJoy or his ilk to be in charge of honestly counting votes, or for that matter, honestly doing much of anything.
The sorting and counting machinery of the USPS is nothing like that used by ballot countin…
The "new OT" has been a slow takeoff, but it seems to be picking up speed. Just a matter of adjusting to a new situation. Personally, I appreciate the removal of potentially contentious posting from the view of those who don't appreciate it. This is…
I found myself thinking the same thing. Sitting inside, watching the TV and looking around at the walls, realizing that he's gone, even though he can't bring himself to say that out loud.
Obviously there's no housing shortage. Anyone needing a house should just move to Detroit and buy one for 5 or 10k. Of course there's the remaining issue of employment in the area, but hell, nothing's perfect.
More to follow in the weeks ahead, for sure.
If Trump follows through on his threat to fire Dr. Fauci, Biden should simply tell the good doctor to have a good vacation before he resumes his work. I can just imagine the frenzied throng of highly reg…
@Hank- Not familiar with "assonance". My first guess was that it might be a descriptor for current presidential utterances, but after consulting the dictionary I see that isn't quite right. :)
@hank- Well, while I concur that MFO is, for the very greater part, reality based “nuts and bolts” communication, we do occasionally have our moments. Also, like you, I don't post anywhere else.
I'm uncertain as to whether your above comments are a…
With respect to "Sharpiegate", my ballot marking experience was virtually identical here is SF to WABC in Arizona. As he says, we also use Sharpies in the actual physical voting booths. Nothing at all new there. We didn't mail ours though- on Tuesda…
It's really nice to have new folks like bilperk take over the vetting of right-wing bullshit disinformation here. Some of us old-timers are just plain worn out from carrying that burden for so many years.
COUNT THE DAMNED VOTES!!!
Thanks, @bilper…
