Bread makes ducks sick, prevents them from learning to forage, and can even deform their wings so they can’t fly. Here are some healthier alternatives, if you must feed the ducks. The British Canal ...What we do and don’t know about the highly effective Covid-19 vaccines
Participants in Moderna and Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine trials told CNBC in September that they were experiencing high fever, body aches, bad headaches, daylong exhaustion and other symptoms after receiving the shots. While the symptoms were uncomfortable, and at times intense, the participants said they often went away after a day, sometimes sooner, and that it was better than getting Covid-19.
One North Carolina woman in the Moderna study who is in her 50s said she didn’t experience a fever but suffered a bad migraine that left her drained for a day and unable to focus. She said she woke up the next day feeling better after taking Excedrin but added that Moderna may need to tell people to take a day off after a second dose.
“If this proves to work, people are going to have to toughen up,” she said. “The first dose is no big deal. And then the second dose will definitely put you down for the day for sure. ... You will need to take a day off after the second dose.”
During the meeting on Monday, Patsy Stinchfield, a Children’s Minnesota nurse practitioner, said officials and drugmakers could try talking about the side effects in a more positive way. She said they could use language such as “response” instead of “adverse reaction.”
“These are immune responses,” said Stinchfield, a past voting member of the committee. “And so if you feel something after vaccination, you should expect to feel that. When you do, it’s normal to have some arm soreness or fatigue, some body aches and maybe even a fever. It sounds like in some of these trials, maybe even having to stay home from work.”
“You hear some people in the trials that are disappointed that they didn’t have any of those things, feeling they must have gotten a placebo,” she added.
The committee meeting comes three days after Pfizer and its partner BioNTech applied for an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration for their coronavirus vaccine.
The FDA process is expected to take a few weeks, and an advisory committee meeting to review the vaccine has been scheduled for early December. Some Americans could get their first dose of the vaccine in about a month.
ACIP is expected to call an emergency meeting to make specific recommendations on distribution once the FDA authorizes a vaccine.

A wildlife photographer and his fiancé were looking for poppy flowers in the Arizona desert and stumbled upon an amazing surprise – two bees snuggled up together inside a flower!
On their drive home to Phoenix, they stopped to photograph something similar to poppies called orange Globe Mallow hidden inside a patch of larger pink flowers.
“Nicole was shooting this orange Globe Mallow plant … and she heard the bees buzzing about,” photographer Joe Neely told Bored Panda.
“Then she noticed that some of the flowers had bees in them, but they were not moving.”
The couple studied the phenomena for a while and watched as more bees arrived on the scene, entering the flowers one by one, as if it were nap time.
“Soon, all the vacant flowers were occupied, and this one bee was left out. She crawled over to this open flower and got inside with the other one. I was watching as she stumbled around almost drunk-like and then got settled in.”
Later Neely learned that the bees are named after the flowers they sleep in, eat from and help create through pollination – Globe Mallow bees!
“I never knew that bees slept in flowers but as it turns out this type of bees sleep in orange flowers called Globe Mallows,” he said.
