Watching the news, it sounds like Pfister will ship from Kalamazoo very shortly.

I hear the refrigeration industry has geared up.

Anybody here in, or near that field of work (truck, air, etc) with direct or indirect knowledge of the logistics?

I don't know anything about the logistics, but my brother works for the Trane heating/refrigeration company and they have apparently come out with some innovations related to transport. He is not part of the team but it was apparently a big breakthrough and will likely make them a boatload of cash in the process.

By the way, it *appears* that the vaccinated will be protected, but may still infect others.

Should we get a user manual published soon, before folks develop unrealistic expectations?

That ship sailed a long time ago And not just in relation to this particular issue.

Update: as of 7 am EST, drug packaging being assembled, tucks loading at drugmaker's facility

There are a lot of conspiracy theories about the vaccine and pandemic. Some are supposedly from doctors. What are your thoughts?

Political BS. Please keep it out of here.

Did you say Pfister with a Kalamazoo?

Let's take odds on when a shipment gets stolen ala Adam Jones Custom debacle.

I bought a kalamazoo amp from a pawn shop and after cleaning it up I thought I should get some type of virus vaccine. I felt like a dust archaeologist.

It’s funny they are making such a big deal about it suddenly shipping now. They were actually starting to ship before approval on some airline flights. It required a special order from the FAA because the shipping coolers exceeded the normally allowed amount of dry ice.

BTW, the I think it was The NY Times that had an online calculator to estimate where you are in line. With enough doses for 50 million people currently secured, I have 268 million people ahead of me in line. I should be able to get the vaccine in late 2021 to mid 2022. A timeframe that will likely make the vaccine useless.

I'm sure it will be useful for some immediately, but there's also concerns that it may not give you more than a few months of immunity anyway, or at lease this particular one. Overall, its certainly another tool to help though - especially for the most vulnerable. It also appears that even those who develop a natural immunity don't keep it forever - so it's not like just one round of doses will be needed.
