Riz appears to've stepped away for awhile.

In the interest of moving things along - If I may take the liberty ...

It Does appear that at least Some Covid vaxes were developed from previous SARS / MERS vaxes in an effort to speed the development / delivery process ...

Covid Vax Q & A - Development, Efficacy, Safety, Testing, Risks vs Benefits ...

Keep It CIVIL -
This is a Discussion ... Check The Soap Boxes At The Door.

Folks raise the Legit(!) point that the usual testing protocols have been foreshortened / condensed & (at least in the U.S.) folks are provided an Info Sheet explaining this & a Consent Form to sign.

Search: Covid Vaccine Consent Form to download a copy of the form.

In a mood lightening Humorous vein - From Comments on the OP Presentation ...
"Rats are waiting to take the vaccine, until the human trials are over." ...

BTW -
The Comments on the Presentation are wide-ranging & Worth Consideration -
IMO.

It's my Understanding that the Moderna & especially Pfizer vaxes May be based more on mRNA & May be efficacious against more Covid variants than other vaxes.

Some of the Info is specific to the Philippines. Other parts (e.g. reported relative efficacy of various vaccines) appears to be more Broadly useful.

| UPDATE | 9/22/21 - Low-Dose Aspirin Could Avert Worst COVID Symptoms

RE: A look at housing migrants

All Valid Points, Fonda ...

That Said ...
The conditions those folks are Fleeing that they undertake such a journey on the Slimmest of Hope must be Horrible beyond Imagining.

According to one Report -
U.S. Congressional personnel on a Fact Finding boat trip passed drowned body(s?) in the Rio Grande ...

And the U.S. bears SOME(!) responsibility for conditions the migrants are Fleeing ...

Docs sometimes quiz me 'bout my sugar/salt intake -
My response - I don't own a sugar bowl Or a salt shaker & I drink Water, not Pop

IF they ever figure Blazing Hot Cayenne & Garlic are health hazards - I'm a Goner

RE: Kayaking in the ocean.

Can't say one way or the other For Sure if the OP pic is Legit or Faked. ...

From what I've Seen flying over beaches ... I'd say it's at least Plausible.

More Interesting activity occurred a few dunes Back from the crowded Beach.

RE: Kayaking in the ocean.

Another take on Eskimo hunting ...
Folks Vastly underestimate the effectiveness of the .243 Win. rifle & .357 Mag Revolver.

Or - More Accurately - Folks are Convinced those cartridges are less adequate ...
By companies selling .338 Win. Mag rifles & .44 Magnum revolvers.

And crossing the Gulf Stream in small boats is denounced as suicidal -
By builders of 40' - 50' vessels.

And some folks simply don't Buy the Sales Pitches!

Forget Florida to the Bahamas!
This is the Smallest vessel type to make the passage from California to Hawaii ...

And - the story goes - the California to Hawaii solo mariner used a .22 pistol to dispatch a shark deemed too close to the boat for comfort.

The same vessel was then sold to a missionary who used it for Years (Decades?) to visit his congregations on various islands ...

Would I(!) have ever attempted such a voyage ...
But I'd prob'ly have done That rather than use such a boat to get a Real Close look at a Polar Bear.

RE: Kayaking in the ocean.

I'm here to tell y'all -
Folks swim a Helluva lot closer with sharks than they Ever realize.

Flying over water along beaches & looking straight Down Into the water, one can Clearly see sharks Much closer to blissfully ignorant swimmers than the people would guess in their Wildest imaginings.
