They started on the 4th of January. By the end of February over 20 million had one dose and 796,000 had both doses. Total doses don't tell the story because the first to be vaccinated were the elderly and most vulnerable. That's why hospitalizations and deaths would be way down.

Na, I think it should be the other way around.

We also sell arms to KSA.

The UK's high vaccination rate is because of the AstraZeneca vaccine because they are manufacturing it themselves. Daily hospitalizations have gone from over 4000 to about 1000 since the middle of January. Total hospitalizations have been cut in half.

There is on the AstraZeneca as well. It is similar to the others on the British variant but not good against the South African. Of course its SA efficacy is academic if one of the other strains gets you first

It's the most inexpensive vaccine out there and it is open source. Not much money is being made from it. It has crushed hospitalizations in the UK. They are a quarter of what they were a month and a half ago.

New Zealand and Australia did a lot of things right. Arguably more than any other western countries. They are also island countries in the South Pacific. They don't share a 5000km land border with the biggest Covid disaster country on the planet.

I should hope so. Some of them should have been in jail some time ago, like the guy who repeatedly used his condo as a night club.

Nike is an American company, not Chinese. Adidas is a German company, not Chinese. Perhaps your outrage should be directed at them.

Serology is a science. RNA sequencing done last spring showed the majority of BC cases originated from Europe/Eastern Canada like strains, half as many from Washington St. like strains and only a very small number from China and Iran.

That goes for all of them. It's the world we live in.

Why pick on LeBron? Thousands of athletes and celebrities, white and black have contracts with those companies. Trump's companies do business and have bank accounts there.

I'm not keen on the alternative.

So why did they approve it?

Wuhan, Wuhan. Serology studies in BC showed last May that most of its first cases came from Europe, Eastern Canada and the US, not China.

It isn't approved for people over 65 simply because few people over 65 were included in the trials. Some countries are using it and some are not. Experience with it in Scotland and France are showing very high immunity rates in people over 65. UK vaccination rates are so high because they are producing and using a lot of the AstraZeneca vaccine. The US government has decided not to allow any export of vaccines to anyone until all Americans have been vaccinated. It doesn't matter what kind of contracts we negotiated. We are just damn lucky the EU didn't do the same.

I don't know what to say about where you live but restaurants where I live they have been using plexiglass dividers since before last fall. Scientists give the advice, politicians either take it or they don't. Most public health experts in this country have been on the same page but the same cannot be said of all provinces or the attitudes of their citizens.

This has killed over two million world wide in the past year, including a half million Americans. Doctors and scientists lying for some nefarious reasons that you can't name. LOL

In this case the science is epidemiologists, public health professionals, specialists in the problem at hand and the medical professionals who take their cues from them. Not anti vax, anti mask homeopaths from Denman Island like Steven Malthouse. If you are close to people outdoors, masks are probably a good idea. Went to a restaurant last night. You have to wear a mask to and from your table and then you can take it off. Tables were all decently spaced and separated by six foot plexiglass dividers. They aren't all clueless policies, they are policies that try to give businesses a chance to operate safely in a pandemic without going broke.

Brand new virus. Why did people expect 100% knowledge on day one? Some scepticism of political motives is not unhealthy, rejecting science is.

They are finding it has good efficacy now that it is actually in mass usage but it will take awhile for real world evidence to modify more narrow trial data.

That is even dumber than usual.

Not a leftist liberal, just a conservative who believes in science and facts. You won't provide links from credible sources because you can't.

You won't be able to read it through the tin foil.

Well provide some that aren't conspiracy nonsense.
