His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

We adventured new horizons on bikes, imitated major leaguers in the schoolyard. Life was simple. We happily sang along to Don McLean’s “American Pie,” oblivious to the foreshadowing of things to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By our teenage years, Eric and I drifted in opposite directions. As adults, I only saw him at times of crisis, like when he lost his leg in a tragic car accident, or when I visited him at county jails and hard-to-reach penitentiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11869891\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11869891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/YoungBrothersAtHome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/YoungBrothersAtHome.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/YoungBrothersAtHome-160x119.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric and Hank Warner were born just two years apart.

This week, \u003ca href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-california-report-magazine/id1314750545?mt=2\">The California Report Magazine\u003c/a> is launching a series to remember some of them. Our first tribute is to Eric Warner, who died of COVID-19 in San Quentin State Prison at age 57. He was born and raised in San Francisco, the son of Filipino immigrants. He was a barber, a boxer and a beloved brother. Eric’s older brother Hank brings us this tribute.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">H\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>aving an only brother incarcerated for life leaves a hole in your heart. You long for sibling companionship. And guard your secret for fear of shame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up, we collected pollywogs after big rains. We adventured new horizons on bikes, imitated major leaguers in the schoolyard. Life was simple. We happily sang along to Don McLean’s “American Pie,” oblivious to the foreshadowing of things to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By our teenage years, Eric and I drifted in opposite directions. As adults, I only saw him at times of crisis, like when he lost his leg in a tragic car accident, or when I visited him at county jails and hard-to-reach penitentiaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11869891\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11869891\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/YoungBrothersAtHome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/YoungBrothersAtHome.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/04/YoungBrothersAtHome-160x119.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric and Hank Warner were born just two years apart.

He made it out of prison, only to end up in a hospital close to where we grew up. He had been in the ICU for over a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facetime was the only way we could visit. Eric’s face, dominated by an air mask, filled my iPad screen. The whooshing sound of the breathing machine drowned out his voice. He gasped for life with every breath.

If you have questions, here’s what you need to know about exactly why this happened:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: How Small Are the Risks With the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: More than 6.8 million people in the U.S. have received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine, so these are very, very small risks statistically. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that all six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination. Among the six women, one case was fatal and one patient is in critical condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was not “recalled,” “banned” or “canceled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1972824/covid-19-vaccine-your-questions-answered\">The relative risk is really, really low for these severe blood clots\u003c/a>,” said Dr. Catherine Blish, infectious disease specialist at Stanford Medicine. “So we’ve had the six cases out of almost seven million vaccines delivered, which is about one in a million. And while this has been hugely controversial, the birth control pills are associated with about one in 1,000 to [one in 100] rate of blood clots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: If the Johnson & Johnson Risks Are So Small, Why Did the CDC and FDA Recommend the Pause?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: The CDC and the FDA said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1973731/johnson-johnson-vaccine-and-blood-clots-what-you-need-to-know\">the pause would allow them to investigate these reactions more\u003c/a>. They also said it would help health care providers be ready to spot this rare blood clotting event and treat it appropriately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To repeat: More than 6.8 million people in the U.S. have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The blood clots that prompted the pause showed up in six women. But because of the rare nature of these types of clots, health officials emphasize that they should not be treated the way other clots often are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, Dr. Peter Marks, the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the FDA, said doctors should avoid using heparin, a standard blood-thinning treatment, because in these clots it “can cause tremendous harm, or the outcome can be fatal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for specialized treatment is one reason the CDC and the FDA saw an urgent need to get the word out about this rare combination of side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medical experts say this kind of pause happens a lot and is “totally normal” and reasonable in order to investigate these extremely rare cases. Regulators don’t know whether the six cases are related to the vaccine, and they need to do a deep dive into the individual patients to determine what’s going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: I Got the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine. Do I Need to Look Out for Problems?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: If you got your Johnson & Johnson vaccine shot less than three weeks ago, you should look out for severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek treatment with your health provider, an urgent care clinic or a hospital emergency room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember, the number of people affected is very, very small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you got your shot more than three weeks ago, and you have experienced none of these symptoms, you likely do not need to worry about your J&J vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: How Does the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Affect the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: A joint statement by the Bay Area’s county health officers on April 24 recommends that the region’s health providers should resume administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine “to prevent community spread and severe illness and death from COVID-19.” This means you’ll see the J&J vaccine being offered at appointments around the Bay Area once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting Your Vaccine Through a Health System Like Kaiser Permanente\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11859992\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11859992\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-800x464.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-1020x591.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-1536x890.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Registered nurse Emily Enos loads the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine into a syringe ahead of distribution to seniors above the age of 65 who are experiencing homelessness at the Los Angeles Mission, in the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles on Feb. 10, 2021, as the fight against the coronavirus pandemic continues. \u003ccite>(Photo by Frederic J.

Advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the benefits of the single-dose COVID-19 shot outweigh a rare risk of blood clots. This means use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is allowed again in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out of an “abundance of caution” the Food and Drug Administration originally recommended a pause on the use of the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine in the U.S. on April 13 after a very rare type of blood clot showed up in six women within about two weeks of receiving the vaccination. This news came just as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11855623/where-can-i-get-a-covid-19-vaccine-in-the-bay-area-your-questions-answered\">California was about to open up COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all people ages 16 and older\u003c/a>. If you have questions, here’s what you need to know about exactly why this happened:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: How Small Are the Risks With the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: More than 6.8 million people in the U.S. have received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine, so these are very, very small risks statistically. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that all six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination. Among the six women, one case was fatal and one patient is in critical condition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Johnson & Johnson vaccine was not “recalled,” “banned” or “canceled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1972824/covid-19-vaccine-your-questions-answered\">The relative risk is really, really low for these severe blood clots\u003c/a>,” said Dr. Catherine Blish, infectious disease specialist at Stanford Medicine. “So we’ve had the six cases out of almost seven million vaccines delivered, which is about one in a million. And while this has been hugely controversial, the birth control pills are associated with about one in 1,000 to [one in 100] rate of blood clots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: If the Johnson & Johnson Risks Are So Small, Why Did the CDC and FDA Recommend the Pause?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: The CDC and the FDA said \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1973731/johnson-johnson-vaccine-and-blood-clots-what-you-need-to-know\">the pause would allow them to investigate these reactions more\u003c/a>. They also said it would help health care providers be ready to spot this rare blood clotting event and treat it appropriately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To repeat: More than 6.8 million people in the U.S. have received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The blood clots that prompted the pause showed up in six women. But because of the rare nature of these types of clots, health officials emphasize that they should not be treated the way other clots often are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, Dr. Peter Marks, the director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at the FDA, said doctors should avoid using heparin, a standard blood-thinning treatment, because in these clots it “can cause tremendous harm, or the outcome can be fatal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for specialized treatment is one reason the CDC and the FDA saw an urgent need to get the word out about this rare combination of side effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medical experts say this kind of pause happens a lot and is “totally normal” and reasonable in order to investigate these extremely rare cases. Regulators don’t know whether the six cases are related to the vaccine, and they need to do a deep dive into the individual patients to determine what’s going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: I Got the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine. Do I Need to Look Out for Problems?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: If you got your Johnson & Johnson vaccine shot less than three weeks ago, you should look out for severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek treatment with your health provider, an urgent care clinic or a hospital emergency room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember, the number of people affected is very, very small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you got your shot more than three weeks ago, and you have experienced none of these symptoms, you likely do not need to worry about your J&J vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q: How Does the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Affect the Bay Area?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A: A joint statement by the Bay Area’s county health officers on April 24 recommends that the region’s health providers should resume administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine “to prevent community spread and severe illness and death from COVID-19.” This means you’ll see the J&J vaccine being offered at appointments around the Bay Area once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Getting Your Vaccine Through a Health System Like Kaiser Permanente\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11859992\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11859992\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-800x464.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-1020x591.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/02/RS47197_GettyImages-1231086748-qut-1536x890.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Registered nurse Emily Enos loads the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine into a syringe ahead of distribution to seniors above the age of 65 who are experiencing homelessness at the Los Angeles Mission, in the Skid Row area of Downtown Los Angeles on Feb. 10, 2021, as the fight against the coronavirus pandemic continues. \u003ccite>(Photo by Frederic J.

Gavin Newsom announced that California’s economy will ‘reopen’ by June 15, as long as there’s enough vaccine supply for everyone 16 and older and COVID-19 hospitalizations across the state remain low. This doesn’t mean all precautions — like the state’s mask mandate — will get scrapped. But it is a big step towards businesses and public spaces operating like they were before the pandemic.
