all I am hearing is money , money , money. Where is the money going to come from? Who is going to pay for all of this? Are you going to spend , spend, spend and then tax, tax, tax?

*We’re speaking to them directly. We haven’t reached out to them directly. Interestingly enough, they’ve reached out to us and we’re doing our due diligence as a nation and the Prime Minister is actually leading the charge on that*

So nothing was done when the whole world was securing their vaccines, we waited for the salesmen to come knocking on our door. I rather think the salesmen are leading the charge, not the PM. They want to sell as much as they can before any nasty longer term side effects show themselves, or worse, before they have to give up the patent.

This ain't brain surgery. We need the Moderna vaccine. NOT a Russian or Chinese vaccine.

The UK got 800,000 doses, enough to vaccinate 400,000 Britons

Canada is set to receive up to 249,000 doses of this vaccine, or enough to vaccinate 124,500 people

The Bahamas is FAR FAR behind from getting anything

I actually think that our backwardsness may be a benefit in this instance. Let other nations be the guinea-pig for this hastily developed concoction.

"I think the Chinese have about two vaccines out, the Russians have about two and a number of other countries such as Israel and other nations in Europe are developing vaccines as well, and whichever that WHO agrees to, that’s the one that we’re going to be using.”"

So in other words, all of our doctors in the Bahamas are just ignorant fools who know nothing about vaccines or medicine and we need to take order from the WHO ? Everyone can read between the lines here and know exactly what is going to happen. The Chinese will offer their vaccine to us at a very cheap rate, and our Govt will jump at the chance. China has long wanted our country for themselves, and that is much easier to obtain if there is nobody to object.

"But that’s just the larger freezer and we’re going to need the smaller ones to transport it to all the various islands and we’re attending once we get the vaccine to be able to deploy it to all the islands at the same time quickly"

Really? Why is it necessary for ALL islands to be vaccinated at the same time? I'm sure there wouldn't be any kick-back on those freezer purchases, right?

Unless I personally acquire and inject one or more the particular vaccines into Minnis, however many times may be necessary, the last thing I'm going to do is take him at his word that he has taken any of these vaccines, especially any made in Communist China that may well be put under a brand name to add an air of trust.

I'aint no damn fool like Minnis thinks most of us are. I've done my careful research on most of these vaccines coming down the pike and there isn't a one of them I would dare risk taking. And many of the world's leading physicians who are on the frontline of fighting COVID-19 have made it known they feel the same way. They would rather take their chances getting the Communist Chinese Virus and surviving it.

Many fools are going to learn the hard way that, unlike vaccines developed for measels, chicken pox, flu, etc. that work on the basis of exposing the body to a very small unharmful quantity of the virus to trigger the immune system into producing anti-bodies, these all too quickly developed COVID-19 vaccines work on the basis of changing your gene structure
(RNA) to spur the production of anti-bodies for the virus. That's genetic re-engineering by any definition, and I for one don't trust financially greedy and power intoxicated partnerships between big pharma, hign tech giants and governments to play around with the basic building block material of my life, my very existence.

Sorry, but unless I'm misunderstanding your last paragraph there is zero, zilch, nada genetic modification of the human body or human cells going on.
There are 2 different types of COVID vaccines currently being developed, The Pfizer & Moderna vaccines are mRNA type vaccines, and the Astra-Zeneca & russian ones are Viral Vector vaccines.

mRNA vaccines are relatively new. The way they work is somewhat hard to explain, but essentially the vaccine is a genetically modified harmless piece of the virus (mRNA sequence). This mRNA sequence is a code that tells the muscle cell to produce a harmless "spike protein" (antigen) that is found on the surface of the COVID virus. When the muscle cells produce the spike protein our immune system realizes that the spike protein doesn't belong there and immediately starts designing antibodies that can attack the actual virus should the person ever become infected.

Viral Vector vaccines are somewhat similar except the harmless spike protein is introduced to the body using a modified adenovirus (common cold virus).

As always, everyone has a choice as to whether or not they wish to get vaccinated and I'm respectful of that.

Many of us have read plenty of the science put out by the highly motivated collaborators behind the unusually fast development of these vaccines. But I'm not willing to place any faith whatsoever in what's been pushed to the public by the so called 'scientific community' that is 'owned' in large part by the very evil partnership that now exists between greedy big pharma, the high-tech giants and power hungry corrupt politicians the world over.

Believe what you want, but I know first-hand how the development and approval process works, and why it normally takes a lot longer to get these treatments approved.

I think most of us know proper clinical trials take many years for many good reasons. 'Warped speed development' and 'safe vaccines' should never be uttered in the same sentence by any responsible health official anywhere.

I smell the strong whiff of a health minister stripped of vaccines portfolio.
**We never did get out in front of the why behind Mr. Minnis, December 2017 stripping his minister Rommy Ferreira of his environment portfolio?** A stripping that was conducted so in secret, not even Rommy knew of it **being transferred to the office prime minister, **that is until the media began reporting about it?
**Shakehead** a quick once for upyeahvote **wasn't that the master file contained the OBAN environmental assessment,** a slow twice for not.
