politicalite--2020-11-09--BREAKING: Markets SOAR as 90% Effective Covid Vaccine Unveiled by Pfizer

BRITAIN was poised to be free from COVID-19 restrictions as early as December after pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced that it had developed a Coronavirus vaccine that is 90 % effective in preventing Covid-19 .
The UK has secured 40 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine – the first agreement the firms signed with any government .
Yes .
These are interim findings and studies will continue but analysis shows that the Pfizer vaccine can prevent more than 90 % of people from getting Covid-19 .
The vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apply to the US regulator the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month .
The analysis was carried out after 94 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were found among those taking part in the trial .
What type of vaccine is this ?
The jab is known as a messenger RNA ( mRNA ) vaccine .
Conventional vaccines are produced using weakened forms of the virus , but mRNAs use only the virus ’ s genetic code .
An mRNA vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enters cells and tells them to create antigens .
These antigens are recognised by the immune system and prepare it to fight coronavirus .
What are the advantages of this type of vaccine ?
No actual virus is needed to create an mRNA vaccine .
This means the rate at which the vaccine can be produced is dramatically accelerated .
As a result , mRNA vaccines have been hailed as potentially offering a rapid solution to new outbreaks of infectious diseases .
They can also be modified reasonably quickly if , for example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to change .
mRNA vaccines are also cheaper to produce than traditional vaccines .
But both will play an important role in tackling Covid-19 .
All vaccines undergo rigorous testing and have oversight from experienced regulators .

BRITAIN was poised to be free from COVID-19 restrictions as early as December after pharmaceutical giant Pfizer announced that it had developed a Coronavirus vaccine that is 90% effective in preventing Covid-19.
The UK has secured 40 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine – the first agreement the firms signed with any government.
Is this big news?
Yes. These are interim findings and studies will continue but analysis shows that the Pfizer vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19.
The vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.
Pfizer plans to apply to the US regulator the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month.
The analysis was carried out after 94 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were found among those taking part in the trial.
What type of vaccine is this?
The jab is known as a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine.
Conventional vaccines are produced using weakened forms of the virus, but mRNAs use only the virus’s genetic code.
An mRNA vaccine is injected into the body where it enters cells and tells them to create antigens.
These antigens are recognised by the immune system and prepare it to fight coronavirus.
What are the advantages of this type of vaccine?
No actual virus is needed to create an mRNA vaccine. This means the rate at which the vaccine can be produced is dramatically accelerated.
As a result, mRNA vaccines have been hailed as potentially offering a rapid solution to new outbreaks of infectious diseases.
They can also be modified reasonably quickly if, for example, a virus develops mutations and begins to change.
mRNA vaccines are also cheaper to produce than traditional vaccines. But both will play an important role in tackling Covid-19.
Are they safe?
All vaccines undergo rigorous testing and have oversight from experienced regulators.
Some believe mRNA vaccines are safer for the patient as they do not rely on any element of the virus being injected into the body.
mRNA vaccines have been tried and tested in the lab and on animals but the coronavirus vaccine will be the first one licensed for use in humans.
The human trials of mRNA vaccines – involving tens of thousands of people – have been going on since early 2020 to show whether it is safe and effective.
Pfizer will continue to collect safety and long-term outcomes data from participants for two years.
Who will be vaccinated first?
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has examined data on who suffers the worst outcomes from coronavirus and who is at highest risk of death.
Its interim guidance says the order of priority should be:
– Older adults in a care home and care home workers
– All those aged 80 and over and health and social care workers, though they may move up the list
– Anyone 75 and over
– People aged 70 and over
– All those aged 65 and over
– High-risk adults under 65
– Moderate-risk adults under 65
– All those aged 60 and over
– All those 55 and over
– All those aged 50 and over
– The rest of the population, with priority yet to be determined.

The advisory board of the nonpartisan Center for Presidential Transition also urged the Trump administration to “immediately begin the post-election transition process and the Biden team to take full advantage of the resources available under the Presidential Transition Act.”
Biden, who has claimed a win as the 46th president on Saturday, is taking steps to build a government despite questions about whether Trump will offer the traditional assistance.

“Some married women vote in one state, under their current name, while someone—a political predator—casts a vote in that same state or a state which the woman previously lived under a previous or maiden name.”
“This same technique may affect adopted persons, the divorced, people who changed their names and/or transgendered persons.”
A Twitter user named Lauren discovered that her mother was a victim of the alleged vote fraud.

politicalite--2020-11-10--OH JOE! Brexit Under Fire as OBAMA Tipped for UK Ambassador Role

FORMER President and known anti-Brexit man Barack Obama is tipped to be the ambassador to the UK under Joe Biden if Donald Trump ’ s election fraud lawsuits fail to prevent a Biden White House , it is claimed .
Biden is set to appoint ex-Prez Obama that could see Brexit Talks collide with the US after the Democrat-backed Remain in 2016 and told Brits they would be at the “ back of the queue ” for a trade deal with the United States if we voted to leave the European Union .
He warned Brits about Brexit in 2016 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PM David Cameron : “ They are voicing an opinion about what the United States is going to do , I figured you might want to hear from the president of the United States what I think the United States is going to do.
” “ And on that matter , for example , I think it ’ s fair to say that maybe some point down the line there might be a UK-US trade agreement , but it ’ s not going to happen any time soon because our focus is in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ European Union , to get a trade agreement done ” .
He added : “ The UK is going to be in the back of the queue.
” A source told the Sunday Times : “ There have been informal discussions.
” “ I have heard there is a possibility that Obama could be asked as a thank you.
” Mr Obama is no fan of the UK , when he entered the White House in 2008 he removed a bust of Wartime hero Sir Winston Churchill .
.
Boris Johnson explained why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Some said it was a snub to Britain .
Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president ’ s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.
” Mr Johnson was slammed for the comments in 2016 when he mentioned Obama ’ s “ part-Kenyan ancestry ” .
Senator Chris Coons , who is tipped to become Mr Biden ’ s secretary of state has said Boris ’ comments were “ not well received ” and suggested they should be “ reconsidered ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Andrew Marr Show : “ The special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom has endured over decades and I expect there will be opportunities promptly for there to be some visits and conversations and some reconsideration of whatever comments may have been made about the moment of Brexit .

Biden is set to appoint ex-Prez Obama that could see Brexit Talks collide with the US after the Democrat-backed Remain in 2016 and told Brits they would be at the “back of the queue” for a trade deal with the United States if we voted to leave the European Union.
He warned Brits about Brexit in 2016 in a speech in London with former PM David Cameron: “They are voicing an opinion about what the United States is going to do, I figured you might want to hear from the president of the United States what I think the United States is going to do.”
“And on that matter, for example, I think it’s fair to say that maybe some point down the line there might be a UK-US trade agreement, but it’s not going to happen any time soon because our focus is in negotiating with a big bloc, the European Union, to get a trade agreement done”.
He added: “The UK is going to be in the back of the queue.”
A source told the Sunday Times: “There have been informal discussions.”
“I have heard there is a possibility that Obama could be asked as a thank you.”
Mr Obama is no fan of the UK, when he entered the White House in 2008 he removed a bust of Wartime hero Sir Winston Churchill. .
Boris Johnson explained why Obama chucked out the bust: “Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.”
Mr Johnson was slammed for the comments in 2016 when he mentioned Obama’s “part-Kenyan ancestry”.
Senator Chris Coons, who is tipped to become Mr Biden’s secretary of state has said Boris’ comments were “not well received” and suggested they should be “reconsidered”.
Mr Coons told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: “The special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom has endured over decades and I expect there will be opportunities promptly for there to be some visits and conversations and some reconsideration of whatever comments may have been made about the moment of Brexit.”

politicalite--2020-11-10--FRAUD PROBE: William Barr tells DOJ to Examine Election Fraud Claims

PROSECUTORS across the U.S. to pursue “ substantial allegations ” of voting irregularities , if they exist , before the 2020 presidential election is certified .
William Barr ’ s action comes days after Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump and raises the prospect that Trump will use the Justice Department to try to challenge the outcome .
It gives prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election is certified .
Trump has not conceded the election and is instead claiming that there has been a widespread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vote tally in Biden ’ s favor .
Biden holds a sizable lead in multiple battleground states and there has been no indication of enough improperly counted or illegally cast votes that would shift the outcome .
In fact , election officials from both political parties have publicly stated the election went well , though there have been minor issues that are typical in elections , including voting machines breaking and ballots that were miscast and lost .
In a memo to U.S. attorneys , obtained by The Associated Press , Barr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that , if true , could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.
” He said any allegations that would “ clearly not impact the outcome of a federal election ” should be delayed until after those elections are certified and prosecutors should likely open so-called preliminary inquiries , which would allow investigators and prosecutors to see if there is evidence that would allow them to take further investigative measures .
“ While it is imperative that credible allegations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manner , it is equally imperative that Department personnel exercise appropriate caution and maintain the Department´s absolute commitment to fairness , neutrality and non-partisanship , ” Barr wrote .
States have until Dec. 8 to resolve election disputes , including recounts and court contests over the results .
Members of the Electoral College meet Dec. 14 to finalize the outcome .
On Monday night , the Justice Department´s top prosecutor for election crimes , Richard Pilger , said he would step down from that post in response to the attorney general´s memo , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ colleagues and obtained by the Associated Press .
He is still expected to remain as an attorney within the Justice Department´s criminal division .
Barr , a loyal ally of President Donald Trump , helped broadcast Trump´s claims of voter fraud before the election , attacking mail-in voting as prone to undue influence and coercion , despite multiple studies debunking the notion of pervasive voter fraud in general and in the vote-by-mail process .
Generally , Justice Department policy is “ not to conduct overt investigations , including interviews with individual voters , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allegedly affected by the fraud is certified.
” but Barr argues in the memo that concerns such acts could inadvertently impact an election are minimized once voting has concluded and that , in some cases , investigations could not be delayed until the election is certified .
A Justice Department official said Barr had not been asked by Trump , anyone else at the White House or any lawmakers to issue the memo .
The official could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity .
Barr @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office on Capitol Hill on Monday afternoon and refused to answer questions from reporters when he left .
Earlier Monday , McConnell threw his support behind Trump after a period of post-election silence .
Biden campaign attorney Bob Bauer said in a statement that it is “ deeply unfortunate that Attorney General Barr chose to issue a memorandum that will only fuel the ` specious , speculative , fanciful or far-fetched claims´ he professes to guard against.
” “ Those are the very kind of claims that the president and his lawyers are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawsuits are laughed out of one court after another , ” Bauer said .
“ But , in the end , American democracy is stronger than any clumsy and cynical partisan political scheme .

It gives prosecutors the ability to go around longstanding Justice Department policy that normally would prohibit such overt actions before the election is certified.
Trump has not conceded the election and is instead claiming that there has been a widespread, multi-state conspiracy by Democrats to skew the vote tally in Biden’s favor.
Biden holds a sizable lead in multiple battleground states and there has been no indication of enough improperly counted or illegally cast votes that would shift the outcome. In fact, election officials from both political parties have publicly stated the election went well, though there have been minor issues that are typical in elections, including voting machines breaking and ballots that were miscast and lost.
