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.

The BC plan was outlined a few weeks ago. Today there was the big announcement giving details.

Yet you can't provide links or sources for any of them.

You should get some help with those voices you are hearing. Do you actually research them or just swallow everything you want to believe?

Why do you think they won't. BC just announced this today and they were very clear that it all depends on how much of each vaccine we get and when. No one's plan can be cast in stone

BC has already decided. Now that LTC homes and their workers are done it will be done on an age basis starting on March 8 with those over eighty and other highly vulnerable first, then working down in five year increments. The AZ vaccine will initially be offered to first responders, teachers etc out of their age bracket if they want to be done right away or they can wait until they are eligible for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. The AZ vaccine trials showed it 62% effective against symptoms. Real world use has shown it to be over 90% effective in preventing hospitalizations and 100% effective against deaths. Most of the people vaccinated in the UK have had the AZ vaccine.

Yup. About the same population as BC which has had almost 1400 deaths. You might as well say the cause of every death is death.

Just seven days. The majority certainly agree. Ardern just got the first majority in a country with a proportional system.

That's what they have been doing in the past. They react fast to cases, then they get back to normal. 30,000 people were watching rugby matches not long ago.
