FDA makes it very difficult to identify the temporary members who voted at its recent VRBPAC meeting on 5-11 year old COVID vaccines. I want to make it easier for others to correctly identify their conflicts of interest

Below are the permanent members of the committee--but most were not at the meeting, which was stuffed with 11 temporary members whose votes were assured, plus 7 or 8 of the permanent members.

I have put a line through those who did not attend, and added the temporary members who replaced them at the bottom of the page.

Happy couples: How to keep your relationship healthy
Keep your romantic partnership in good working order by talking openly, keeping it interesting and seeking help if needed.

Nov 04, 2021 · Divorce rate rises amid ‘massive pressure’ from COVID-19 lockdowns.

COVID-19 crisis has increased Americans already record high divorce rates higher across America

US Divorce Rates Soar During COVID-19 Crisis
Up A Third

COVID-19 lockdown ended there in March. In the U.S., sales of online self-help divorce agreements rose by 34% this spring compared to last year, and family lawyers surveyed a 25% to 35% increase in requests to start divorce proceedings

Divorce rates up 30% due to COVID-19 pandemic

Divorce Filings Have Skyrocketed’: Lawyer On Impact Of COVID-19 On Marriages

The last data and statistics I’ve seen said there’s been a 30% increase in divorce filings post-quarantine and that definitely sounds about right,” said Thomas. “We have been bombarded. We meaning divorce practitioners. This was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. The courts are backlogged and unless you have some urgent, emergency situation, you should expect to wait to get your case back on the docket. All the cases from March-June that were cancelled have to be rescheduled. You should expect to wait, which is why I encourage people to settle the legal issues they have. If you do get to court, it’s so weird doing these trials by Zoom on child custody and alimony.”

The California divorce rate is now at a staggering 75 percent. Three out of four marriages in the Golden State end in divorce

Divorces Marriages
161,905 194,108 83.41% California Divorce Rate

Average Divorce Rate: 75.54%**

Bowling Green State University named this phenomenon the “gray divorce revolution.” Their study found the divorce rate for the U.S. population over 50 doubled in those two decades and more than doubled for those over 65. Since half of the married population is 50 and over, these researchers projected that, as the U.S. population ages, by 2030, the number of persons aged 50 and older who divorce will grow by one-third.

85% of the couples that commit to cohabitation will either break-up or divorce by the end of 10 years.
