XCR1250 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 LOS ANGELES (AP) — A taping of Bill Maher's weekly HBO show was canceled after the host tested positive for COVID-19. Maher, who is fully vaccinated, is “asymptomatic and feels fine," according to a statement Thursday from HBO. “No other staff or crew members have tested positive at this time,” the channel said. The taping of Friday's episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher” will be rescheduled, HBO said. Guests were to include astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and podcast host Dan Carlin. Maher was tested as part of the Los Angeles production's weekly protocol for staff, the channel said, adding that “every precaution” is taken in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines regarding the coronavirus. The comedian and political gadfly moved back to in-studio shows with a limited audience late last summer, after taping episodes at his home in the early months of the pandemic. TV and filmmaking gradually resumed after last year's pandemic-forced shutdown, but despite strict safety rules there have been other production holds caused by a cast or crew member's positive virus test.

XCR1250 Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Covid-19 booster shot will likely be needed within a year of vaccination, Fauci says By Virginia Langmaid and Amir Vera, CNN Updated 7:48 PM ET, Wed May 19, 2021 Dr. Anthony Fauci gives an opening statement at a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing to discuss the ongoing federal response to Covid-19 on May 11, 2021, in Washington, DC. (CNN)While the world may be opening up because of the increase in Covid-19 vaccinations, top medical experts say there may be another round of shots needed within about a year. A booster Covid-19 vaccine for people who have already been vaccinated may be needed as soon as eight to 12 months after their second shot, according to Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "We know that the vaccine durability of the efficacy lasts at least six months, and likely considerably more, but I think we will almost certainly require a booster sometime within a year or so after getting the primary," Fauci said. Roughly 47.9% of the US population has received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data as of early Wednesday. About 37.8% of the population is fully vaccinated. How long will coronavirus vaccines protect people? As of Wednesday, there were more than 33 million cases of Covid-19 in the United States and more than 587,000 deaths. Pfizer has not yet finished its trials on a booster vaccine, Bourla said. "I believe in one, two months we will have enough data to speak about it with much higher scientific certainty," he said. A March report from Pfizer indicated the vaccine may be more akin to vaccines against the measles than flu vaccines. Vaccination against measles protects against infection for life in 96% of people. The first dose of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine in the United States was administered December 14, 2020 -- five months ago. "If they got their second shot eight months ago, they may need a third one," Bourla said, adding that booster shots could be coming between September and October of this year. He said Pfizer will have to see what the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves and their recommendation on how best to protect the American people. Moderna has already been working on a booster shot -- a half dose of its vaccine -- to fight Covid-19 variants like B.1.351, first seen in South Africa, and P.1, first discovered in Brazil. As vaccinations continue to increase, medical experts believe coronavirus may end up being like influenza, which requires a new vaccine every year both because the circulating strains mutate quickly and because immunity from the vaccine wears off quickly.
