Keith Olbermann slammed for saying Texas shouldn't get COVID vaccine
[NYPOST] Left-wing political pundit Keith Olbermann is drawing heat again, this time after he said that Texas shouldn’t get the COVID-19 vaccine.In response to a tweet from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
... governor of Texas. Abbott is a Republican. His 2014 Dem opponent, state senatrix Wendy Davis, thought the absolute, most pressing, most important issue facing the state was abortion. Abbott beat the pantyhose off her. His 2018 opponent, Lupe Valdez didn't dwell too heavily on abortion, but she lost too...
, who announced the end of the state’s mask mandate, Olbermann tweeted: "Why are we wasting vaccinations on Texas if Texas has decided to join the side of the virus?"

The tweet sparked a pile-on across the Twittersphere, with people from both sides of the aisle chastising the former ESPN and MSNBC talking head.

"Ah yes millions should be left to suffer and die because their Governor (who they are already trying to oust) is a festering pile of feces...or...or hear me out...we could support the communities he plans to sacrifice," tweeted writer Mikki Kendall.

"I just think it’s wrong to make gross generalizations about the lives and potential deaths of an entire population. It is mean-spirited and unhelpful on every front," wrote a Dallas Morning News news hound, Evan Grant.

Brandon Friedman, a former B.O. regime official, kept it short, writing, "Delete this, Keith," while Daily Beast editor-at-large Molly Jong-Fast tweeted: "People deserve to stay safe and healthy no matter who they voted for."

#6 Pfizer tags 3 U.S. manufacturing sites for possible COVID-19 vaccine launch May 7, 2020
Global coronavirus vaccine makers have been rolling out details about their manufacturing and launch plans—even ahead of any clinical data. Now, Pfizer says it will draw on three sites in the U.S., plus one in Belgium, for the early stages of a launch, provided its BioNTech-partnered shot wins a green light.

Pfizer plans to draw on sites in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and Andover, Massachusetts, as well as St. Louis for the early stages of its mRNA vaccine ramp-up. The company is in human testing with four candidates alongside partner BioNTech, which will supply doses for clinical testing.

The company plans raw material manufacturing in St. Louis and drug substance manufacturing in Andover. The Kalamazoo site is slated to handle formulation and filling.
