But much like any other learning process, in this one repetition is key. When hit with the second injection, the immune system recognizes the onslaught, and starts to take it even more seriously. The body’s encore act, uncomfortable though it might be, is evidence that the immune system is solidifying its defenses against the virus.
“By the second vaccine, it’s already amped up and ready to go,” Jasmine Marcelin, an infectious-disease physician at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, told me. Fortunately, side effects resolve quickly, whereas COVID-19 can bring on debilitating, months-long symptoms and has killed more than 2 million people.

Each Saturday morning I eagerly check Hulu to see if one of my favorite shows, 20/20, has a new episode.
This past Saturday the topic was especially interesting to me.
Scott Falater, who had never been in trouble with the law, by all accounts was a solid family man, loved his wife and two kids, worked hard, was a presence in his community and church, was convicted of murdering his wife.

The COVID-19 pandemic is straining health systems across the country, especially intensive care units. New research from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Medicine shows that people treated in the ICU for COVID-19 are twice as likely to die when the ICU capacity is strained by the number of COVID-19 patients. These results demonstrate that patients with COVID-19 are more likely to die if they are admitted to an ICU during times with peak COVID-19 caseload, said Dawn Bravata, M.D., first author of the study. We know that strain on hospital capacity has been associated with increased mortality under normal circumstances. This study provides evidenc
