Do we have a.minister of health? Sands speaks to health issues a lot. I thi k this is an afront to the sitting minister. He should stop and let the minister answer and respond to questions

Who’s fooling who? We all know Sands is the real deal. He walks in his gift and should never have been removed in the first place. But this is what happens when you have a jokey and petty leader heading a country and looking for a second term. Not on my watch!!

These issues have been reported now for over a year, I recall last spring Cardio MDs in the Toronto area estimated that over 6 weeks they had lost 3 dozen patients because their procedures were cancelled and/or they could not get the procedures needed.
So I'll make a wild guessestimate that the Bahamas is in far worse shape.

Sands could break away from the FNM with his campaifn slogan as the country needs a *real* doctor.

And no, I dont think he should literally do that.

What is the sitting minister sitting on?

Is that the one who declared that we have " a cure in the form of a vaccine".

And cannot differentiate "titular " and "testicular"?

And cannot differentiate "comingling" and "commiserating"?

And whose driver and secretary are frontline covid warriors?

‘ Vaccination remains a key priority for many countries but infectious disease experts say effective Covid-19 treatments will still be necessary
Several large-scale clinical trials are still under way around the globe to assess and determine the most promising medications Vasco said that treatments along with supportive care have contributed to Singapore’s low mortality rate.

. “Treatment of Covid is critical because the vaccine is not 100 per cent,” said Professor Dale Fisher, an infectious disease expert from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. “Some will always refuse vaccination and, on occasion, a vaccinated person could get sick. That’s expected so we want the best options found and available.”
However, he said these outcomes are not part of a clinical trial, where the impact of specific Covid-19 treatments on patients can be compared quantifiably with those who did not receive treatments. ***Fisher said the biggest driver of poor outcomes globally has been overwhelmed hospitals without enough beds, ventilators and oxygen. “When all these basics remain available, we are even more enabled to save lives with the clinical skills and techniques we have learned and the drugs we now have available,” he said.‘***

‘ The largest of the trials, involving more than 12,000 patients, is being conducted at Oxford University. Since March 2020, the Recovery trial has studied several drugs for their efficacy in treating Covid-19 patients. Some drugs have been shown to be ineffective, such as the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which was promoted as a potential treatment by former US president Donald Trump.’

‘However, others such as the cheap steroid dexamethasone and the arthritis drug tocilizumab have been effective in treating patients, and have saved lives as Britain battled major outbreaks.’
.TIME to abandon the ineffective, single prong ‘Vaccinate ALL’ approach to this pandemic and follow the footsteps of countries that are achieving positive results. Singapore has managed to keep both its numbers of nee cases and deaths low.

. In Singapore, the Health Science Authority last week granted interim authorisation for the antibody drug sotrovimab, which was developed by pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline and immunology company Vir Biotechnology, and was used to treat patients aged 18 and over with mild or moderate Covid-19. These patients do not require supplemental oxygen but are at risk of developing more severe symptoms.’

You are discussing medicine during this medical crises? You looking to get lovk up eh? You know that's not allowed. Take the vaccine and shut up.

Taking the vaccines and shutting up are in two different parameters. Both mutually exclusive. And because of how the Covid pandemic is presently being managed in this country it may become a choice between taking the vaccine or dying.

Our grossly under-resourced and very dysfunctional public health system was doomed to failure long before COVID-19 came along. It's a failed system perpetuated by successive FNM and PLP administrations. PMH has been unnecessarily killing the seriously ill for decades now. And both Sands and Minnis as senior medical doctors know this only too well.

Minnis actually served as minister of health in an Ingraham-led FNM administration and did diddly-squat to address our country's woefully inadequate public health system. The more than $150 million that he, as PM, plowed into corrupt deals involving the bankrupt Grand Lucayan property could and should have gone instead to making urgently needed improvements to our public health system.

And to think Sands also supported, as minister of health at the time, government's purchase of the bankrupt Grand Lucayan property from Hutchison Whampoa even though he too knew full well that the funds borrowed for that deal could have been better deployed to addressing our nation's urgent public health issues.

The current Minnis-led FNM administration in only 4 years is already responsible for more than 30% of our country's total national debt. Where has all of that borrowed money gone? We certainly know it didn't go to addressing the urgent needs of our public health system. Where's all of that transparency Minnis promised us time and time again back in April and early May 2017, before he became PM?

Unlike Coopers Town's Fisherman Comrade Papa Hubert, — who has built up immunity, that’s somewhere near 98.9 percent — shunning Thee Mr. Minnis, — whilst Dr. Duane, continues to prop up the Red parties failed leader, — Yes?

Drive up hysteria - and what did you think was going to happen...?
