Santa Clara County put a pause on administering the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine due to allergic reactions under investigation by state regulators.
More than 330,000 doses of Moderna’s 41L20A inoculation were distributed throughout California, including 21,800 to Santa Clara County.
“To the county’s knowledge, no doses from this lot of vaccine have been administered to anyone in Santa Clara County,” officials said in a news release Monday.
According to the California Department of Public Health, a “higher-than-usual” number of potential allergic reactions were reported with the Moderna vaccine. “Fewer than 10 individuals” reportedly required medical attention within a day of receiving the shot, state public health officials said.
The reactions are the subject of separate probes by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, Moderna and California’s public health division.
The state’s advice to pump the brakes on the vaccine comes out of “an abundance of caution,” according to the county’s news release.
Vaccine providers are required by law to report adverse vaccination reactions to the federal government. Santa Clara County officials say they haven’t heard of any problems with the vaccine locally, however.
“While no vaccine or medical procedure is without risk,” the state’s announcement noted, “the risk of a serious adverse reaction is very small.”
County officials say they alerted providers that received the Moderna doses. Namely, the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Stanford. Health Care and El Camino Health.
Your headline says, “California Calls for Pause”, but your story says, “Santa Clara County put a pause.” So which is it?
It mustn’t be Santa Clara County, because your earlier story today quoted Sara Cody in a prepared statement, “This news underscores the need for everyone to follow all prevention measures and get vaccinated as soon as they are offered the vaccine.”
The state called on counties to put the vaccine on pause. Our county heeded that advice.
Is this why Kamala didn’t get a 2nd dose?

> EVERYONE attacks me when I keep on reminding them:
STEVEN:
No one is attacking you. People are just trying to educate you.
But you’re resisting.
> You do know only 31,000,000 doses of vaccine have been distributed and less than half have been used that means that since it is a two dose plan only 6,000,000 out of 330,000,000 have been given the EXPERIMENT. that is only 2% of the U.S.
STEVEN:
Council Member Matt Mahan has called on all off us to fight misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.
1. 330,000,000 people do NOT need vaccinations.
2. Many people are naturally immune.
3. Many people have already had COVID-19 and have gained immunity.
4. The “herd immunity threshold” for COVID-19 is far below 100 percent.
Because of herd immunity, the more people in a population who have immunity for whatever reason, the less risk there is that a non-immune person will be infected.
Therefore, the chances of getting a COVID-19 infection get smaller every day.
At some point, the health authorities need to dial back the fear level from 9+ to maybe 8 or 7.
Or 2.
IF it was Matt Mahan who gave these 4 points:
1. 330,000,000 people do NOT need vaccinations.
2. Many people are naturally immune.
3. Many people have already had COVID-19 and have gained immunity.
4. The “herd immunity threshold” for COVID-19 is far below 100 percent.
then I agree with him 100%. I talk with many nurses and healthcare people. They may not know the percentages, but they do know what they see on a daily basis.
> I am not saying you have to agree with me, you have the rights to your beliefs.
Would you tell Facebook and Twitter that.
> I didn’t say that you have the right to spread misinformation. As I said you have the rights to your beliefs.
Would you say that Jack Dorsey, or Facebook, FOX NEWS, or CNN has the “right” to determine what is or isn’t “misinformation”?
How is Jack Dorsey so much smarter than you?
> I didn’t say that you have the right to spread misinformation. As I said you have the rights to your beliefs.
Do I have the right to SAY what my beliefs are?
Or, do I just have to keep them to myself?

> What PROOF do you have to say the following:
Go look it up.
If you want me to do it for you, my hourly research rates are VERY steep.
$10,000 minimum.
> That is just an vain attempt to disregard any other research from reputable resources.
You keep presuming your sources are “reputable”.
“Reputable” is in your mind.
Your sources are just sources that YOU listen to, mainly because they’re “LOUD” and in your face.
Is the New York Times “reputable”? Is the “1619 Project” reputable? Is Walter Duranty “reputable”.

Is CNN “reputable”? How about MSNBC, or NPR?

> “Do I have the right to SAY what my beliefs are?
> Or, do I just have to keep them to myself?”
The answer is a lot more complicated.
“Complicated” is not the same as “Yes”
So, I DON’T have the right to say what my beliefs are?
What about “public accommodation laws” and “equal protection laws”?
If someone provides an “open forum” — say, the public square — can I SAY what my beliefs are?
Why should people like you have the right to prevent me from SAYING publicly what my beliefs are?
