Covid-19: Vax Americana

Reported COVID variant cases in Florida doubled in two weeks - Orlando Sentinel

Color me surprised: never saw this coming...

 

They call Alberta the Canadian Texas but I think Quebec is the Canadian Texas in that its huge, always threatening to secede and noone can understand a damn word they're saying.

 

Like I said, I can't speak for Calgary, but in my experience, it doesn't have to be elected governments, it can be neighborhoods as well. The town I grew up in was like this. Conservative in general, but had an enclave of progressive thought (It was referred to as the People's Republic). And a few of the people I knew taught at schools like this.

To use an old term, they're limousine liberals. And that's usually the types of people who send their kids to these schools. As russ said, they're of the white savior variety. They'll have a sign supporting Black Lives Matter in their yard. They probably eat organic and are wary of toxins and thus tend to believe the anti-vaccine mindset. So when I see vaccine shedding, I know it's coming from the more progressive side of the antivax world.

 

the discussion was about herd immunity, which doesn't exist anywhere yet, so my thinking it was a look-ahead discussion wasn't that big of stretch, is it?

 

right on.

not a coincidence that Alberta's Covid numbers per capita are the worst in the country.

 

Agree 100%. They don't want it, give their supply to states were people are willing to vaccinate.

The White House on Tuesday told states vaccine supply they leave unordered will become available to other states — the most significant shift in domestic vaccine distribution since President Biden took office, and part of an effort to account for flagging demand in parts of the country,” the Washington Post reports.

 

Yeah, forgot the cricket one. However I doubt the others, as the number of people watching the Euro Song Contest is over 200 million per show, at least with the 2 semi finals and the final it's already over 500 million.

 

Demand has dropped considerably and lots of vaccine centers in FL have stopped asking for state ID or proof of residence to get the vax. This means people are flying in from overseas again to get vaccinated. Like half my family has already flown in to Miami. Honestly I can't muster any outrage. If some dumbasses won't get this life-saving miracle of science, so be it.

 

This is ok but they should be required to take an unvaccinated Floridian home with them.

 

Have you got a link for that. I did a google search and the wiki doesn't seem to mention it being in pill form...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBV152

 

the confusion many be related to the pill Pfizer is working on that treats Covid ? it's the only Covid-related pill I've heard of ....

 

If someone could make the vaccine in a pill form, that would be a game-changer because, in the situation the world is in atm, speed is the most important thing.

That was why I thought they should have just continued with the J&J shot, which was a single-jab one, while they looked at the data. Because it doubles the initial speed of the roll-out.

I get the argument that was about 'reassuring the public'... yeah, I get that... but I think it did the precise opposite as I said.

Anyway, we discussed that, didn't we.

We're almost down into single figures of daily deaths. Hopefully should happen in the next week or so. After the monumental blunders of the first part of this it's a welcome change to see some good news.

 

I invoke my First Amendment right to go off at a tangent.

His about a microchip? Has anyone spoken to Bill Gates?

 

****ing Americans!!!!

 

Yes, his divorce lawyer.

 

Anyone got Melinda's phone number?

 

I'm telling.

 

This might be the/a soluition.
In the Leiden Science Park (where also the J&J vaccin was developed) researchers have for the first time proven vaccination by microneedle patches does work and the bonus is you need a fraction of the vaccin for those patches.

It's a further development of research from Georgia Institute of Technology.
