Interesting story on the Covid vaccine developers from Rice University

[Burnadell]

Their football team sucks , but Owl weenies can compete with the best scientists out there!

This is a story of two college roommates in 1971, one from a small town in Kansas and the other from Spring Branch in Houston who become medical doctors with different career paths, then many years later wound up in research for two different competing Pharma companies and coincidentally become the lead scientists to develop the Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines. Fate?

My grandfather is in the hospital with complications from his second vaccine. Life threatening.

That is cool Randy - Rice is a great school and turns out some incredible minds. I can only think of one graduate from Rice that aint the sharpest tool in the shed.

Eradicator. Sorry for your grandfather’s health. I hope he is able to recover. Like any vaccine there are risks. These two MRNA vaccines have unknown risks and unknown side effects. They should put it out as a “right to try” medication in my opinion.

It is amazing the medical science since this virus started. Hopefully technology will come to help combat future viruses

My 93 yr old grandmother has received both shots she had mild discomfort in her arm thats it. I know several people who have had it with 0 issues, some will have bad reactions but the vast majority will be fine.

My mom had a very bad reaction to the second vaccine. Headaches, nausea, diarrhea. It was a rough 36 hrs for her afterwards. No reaction at all to first shot.
