Covid is already deadlier this year than all of 2020. So why do many in U.S. think the problem’s over? In the global scramble for Covid-19 vaccines, high-income countries, predictably, have sought to secure stocks for their own populations first. Sam Meredith CNBC

EU drug regulator encouraged by early data on mixing coronavirus vaccines

Thu, 2021-06-24 15:55 — mike kraft

EU drug regulator positive on early data on mixing coronavirus vaccines Due to how the approved vaccines all stimulate an immune response through the spike protein, the EMA believes there is good reason to believe that mixing vaccines is both safe and effective. POLITICO
