I think it could be done but considering a chunk of Pfizer’s vaccine supply for the US is being made in Belgium, the “turnabout is fair play, bitches” potential is pretty high. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/11/29/pfizer-covid-vaccine-faa-belgium-air-shipment/6445339002/

I figured as much, although I know there ton of Pfizer and Parma stuff is in the PA so I didn’t know how much might be in the US. Maybe it’s one of the others that is more US based. Well the article also mentions the Michigan one too. That said what’s to stop the US from just making their own and saying, we’ll pay you a royalty later...not to suggest that would be a good idea either.

Without knowing their exact process to make the vaccine I imagine it would be a pointless exercise. Like, you can throw out a list of ingredients, but the processes to produce the end result I'm sure are very secret.

not caring here posted:Without knowing their exact process to make the vaccine I imagine it would be a pointless exercise. Well in theory they have them by virtue of the FDA application. That stuff isn’t public and it’s protected, but it’s in the NDA (New Drug Application). At least from some of the pharma legal doc work I’ve done in the past.

Well I'll be hosed. Then, well, if you don't give a poo poo about getting sued and potentially scaring off every other drug manufacturer in the future, then yes I guess you could stand up your own manufacturing and do whatever you want. Kind of like when the military went looking for new uniforms at one stage, literally stole one company's pattern (I think it was Crye), and then presented it to every other uniform manufacturer to make for cheaper and to not pay royalties, but no one wanted to go down that road.

Riot Carol Danvers posted:Yeah that was Crye's Multicam which was ripped off into OCP. Other way around on that. The U.S. Army contracted Crye to develop the OCP (at the time called Scorpion) pattern in conjunction with its own camouflage designers. The Army always owned the rights to produce and license it, as they had funded the initiative. Years later, Crye made some marginal changes and patented it as Multicam, then turned around and charged an arm and a leg for the Army to license it. The Army eventually decided to go back to its nearly identical original pattern as a cost-saving measure. e;fb

The commissary in Vicenza had a big faded banner of Chuck Yeager wearing a flight suit and it's been a long time but kind of waving at some steaks maybe? And the text said "AAFES has...the right stuff!" and anyway RIP.

A reminder that chuck yeager flew a rocket powered bullet dropped from a B29 past the speed of sound while dealing with broken ribs because he got hammered the night before and fell off his horse. You finally bought that big farm in the sky Chuck. Rest in glory.

When I was a little kid I drew the X-1 and sent it to Chuck Yeager via my USAAF vet grandfather who was his neighbor. He was thrilled and sent me an autographed picture of him next to the X-1. That's my story.

Been curious about the progress of the Flint water crisis - looks like it's almost over! https://twitter.com/DavidEggert00/status/1336320665574539273?s=19 The article has more information, but the feds gave Flint money, Flint did the work, and it looks like there's finally an end in sight.

I saw an autographed model of Glamorous Glennis in an antique store on 21 August 2017, the day of the Great American Eclipse. I didn’t buy it, but I did take the opportunity to look up his signature online. He signed a lot of things and had a quite variable signature. I’m sure he’s a nightmare for authenticators, and I like to think that he revelled in that.

Grandma made it through a hospital visit and is back in a rehab place post covid. loving Dr No-Mask is one of the on call physicians there. I'm sure he has to wear one there, and it makes her happy to see someone she knows, but gently caress that guy.

I honestly am surprised that I haven’t heard about more Democratic operatives coming down with the virus. They may not be gunning for the Darwin Award like Republicans, but they’re not exactly all taking it seriously. It just goes to show that there’s still a world of difference between low standards and no standards.

RFC2324 posted:I feel like, due to the wording about "Party loyalty" that this could be a huge thing against both parties and the bullshit tribal politics of today. I think his point is Trump has largely been using threats, up to and including riling up his base with masked death/jail threats. in this case: a DIRECT death threat. That's not something the Dems have been doing.
