TV/Movies / Did Dustin Quit Gold Rush: White Water? by Johnsmith02: 5:10pm On Dec 04, 2023
Season six of Gold Rush: White Water was less than successful, but Dustin Hurt has not announced official plans to leave the show yet.


It has been a trying year for Gold Rush: White Water fans so far. And even though the long-awaited second part of season six has now finally aired its finale, the outcome of the season was not exactly what anyone had expected.

A season like that definitely places some added pressure on the operation’s leader.

So close, yet so far
Spoiler alert: by the end of season six, Dustin Hurt and his McKinley Creek crew had basically wasted an entire season, only to be almost crushed by a huge boulder and to walk away with mounting debts instead of pockets full of gold.

Nairaland / General / US Authorises Moderna As Second Covid-19 Vaccine by Johnsmith02: 12:15pm On Dec 19, 2020
The United States on Friday authorised Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use, as the country grapples with a brutal winter surge that is killing over 2 500 people a day.

The US is the first nation to authorise the two-dose regimen, now the second vaccine to be deployed in a Western country after one developed by Pfizer and BioNTech.


"With the availability of two vaccines now for the prevention of Covid-19, the FDA has taken another crucial step in the fight against this global pandemic," Food and Drug Administration (FDA) chief Stephen Hahn said.

President Donald Trump - who has frequently taken credit for the fast pace of vaccine development - tweeted: "Congratulations, the Moderna vaccine is now available!"

Joe Biden, who defeated Trump in November's presidential elections and is due to take office in January, hailed the news as "another milestone" in the fight against the virus.

But he also warned of "the immense challenges ahead, including scaling up manufacturing, distribution, and the monumental task of vaccinating hundreds of millions of Americans."

Meharry Medical College President James Hildreth, who was part of a panel of experts convened by the FDA to discuss approval matters, said Thursday it was a "remarkable achievement" to have developed and authorized the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines within a year.

The Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine was approved by Britain on 2 December, followed by several other countries including the US last week. Less-vetted inoculations have also been rolled out in China and Russia.

US gives green light to second COVID-19 shot

The U.S. is adding a second COVID-19 vaccine to its arsenal, boosting efforts to beat back the pandemic. The FDA authorized emergency use of the vaccine developed by Moderna Inc. and the National Institutes of Health.

The United States alone has seen more than 310 000 people die from coronavirus infections and is currently witnessing a brutal winter surge, with nearly 115,000 people hospitalized, according to the Covid Tracking Project.

Millions of doses will begin shipping out as early as this weekend from cold-storage sites outside Memphis and Louisville, overseen by logistics firm McKesson.

From there they will be delivered to sites around the country via partnerships with FedEx and UPS.

Cutting-edge technology 

Moderna has several other drugs under development, but has never seen any authorized until this week.

The decade-old Massachusetts-based biotech company received $2.5 billion in federal funding for its efforts and co-developed the vaccine with scientists at the National Institutes of Health.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are based on cutting-edge mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) technology, and both have been shown to protect about 95 percent of people against Covid-19 compared to a placebo.

Clinical trials involving tens of thousands of people each have also found no serious safety issues.

The most commonly reported side effects were, according to the FDA, "tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, swollen lymph nodes in the same arm as the injection, nausea and vomiting, and fever."

But there have now been a handful of people around the world who developed significant allergic reactions after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and the FDA has said it will remain vigilant.

Both vaccines come with warnings for people who have histories of allergic reactions to their ingredients.

FDA scientist Peter Marks told reporters that the total number of cases of allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine across the United States was now around five.

He said investigations were underway, and suggested the culprit might be an ingredient called polyethylene glycol, which is in both vaccines.

The FDA will also be on the lookout to see whether both vaccines may in extremely rare cases be linked to Bell's palsy, a temporary facial paralysis condition, a handful of cases of which emerged during clinical trials.

Placebo dilemma 

Both vaccines work by giving human cells the instructions to make a surface protein of the coronavirus, which simulates an infection and trains the immune system for when it encounters the real virus.

They each differ in the formulation of the fatty particles used to deliver the mRNA, allowing Moderna's vaccine to be kept in long term storage at -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit), unlike Pfizer's, which must be stored at -90 degrees Celsius.

Moderna carried out a clinical trial of more than 30 000 people, roughly half of whom were given the product and the other half a placebo, with neither recipients nor their health care providers knowing who was in each group.

It has proposed to "unblind" the whole study and offer placebo recipients the vaccine.

But some experts have raised concerns about that plan, saying scientists will be deprived of valuable data and warning that some people will end up getting the vaccine ahead of others in their priority group.
