NOW THIS POLICE IDIOT is still saying fully vaccinated persons can have gatherings in their homes and elsewhere as long as everyone attending is fully vaccinated. This is despite the Centers for Disease Control revising its advisory on this and saying all indoor gatherings are unsafe and persons do so at the risk of contracting corona. It further advises fully vaccinated to follow all the safety guidelines prior to becoming vaccinated and consider the vaccine as an extra precaution. This comes as the number of "breakthrough" (persons becoming sick after being fully vaccinated) are increasing and some fully vaccinated persons have died after contracting the virus. Bahamian officials need to update themselves before taking to the public and threatening the Bahamian public whilst (through ignorance) allowing other persons to carry out the same risky behavior. Blame Minnis who tole vaccinated people that if they want to party, to 'carry on.' but more recent information shows this may not be safe or recommended bahavior.

Yep.. The vaccine will offer little protection to those that truly need it - the elderly and those with severe underlying conditions. The latest invest data into variant spread in the UK has finally dropped. The delta strain has is now responsible 257 deaths - 63% (162 in total - 118 with 2 doses, 44 with 1 dose) of whom were vaccinated versus only 35% (92) that were not vaccinated.

Similarly hospitalisation of vaccinated delta cases now account for 33% of those hospitalised for the variant. What is even more alarming in the data is that in category of persons over the age 50, hospitalisation rate is NOW GREATER FOR THOSE THAT ARE VACCINATED, with 496 of those either fully or partially vaccinated versus only 144 of those that were unvaccinated.

Irrespective of this the delta virus remains a ridiculously mild disease with case fatality of 0.2%, given that many infection go unnoticed the true IFR is likely 5 - 10 times less than this...and likely less that than flu whose IFR (not CFR) is around 0.1% (though this ultimately unknown because the testing industry was non existent prior to 2020).

The logic of trying to vaccinate and lockdown 80% of population to protect 0.2 - 2% from hospitalisation of death is quite simply ridiculous when one can simply focus resources on that 0.2% - 2%- the vast majority of who (80% - 96%) are obese and/or have underlying conditions or above 65. The message surrounding COVID - that it is deadly for all is just not simply supported by the data. The messaging should reflect the fact which is - if you are older than 50ish, have a BMI that is greater than 25/26 or have an underlying condition this will give you some protection (not indefinitely) against this virus. The rest of society can continue - the question why isn't the Bahamian government taking this course of action instead of piling up debt, crushing small businesses, stifling education and medical diagnostics and cratering our economy?

This is all about force QRCode money going to the special blk king crab money dealers first, Covid health is their horse in the race the race.

CDC contradicts itself once again . Says US schools will be fully opened in the fall. And students who are fully vaccinated will not be required to wear masks. Didn’t they just say this is unsafe and risky ?

FDA in trouble now. They granted a $56,000 a year drug for Alzheimers that never worked. Many resigned. FDA, now under pressure from drug companies to force a third vaccine shot without saying the Vax does not work or proving by science a third shot then another for life is needed.

This vaccine bullying has no end. Someone tried mimicking the voice of God telling All Bahamians to become vaccinated while watching religious show from their Fort which they now own no longer the peoples fort.

Oh those pesky little facts so inconvenient...the way it’s going you be walking around with a bag of Vaccine juice being intravenous fed...sounds like for all that macho talk you re afraid of something that 99.98% of people survive..you poor thing,.

The stupidity and ignorance displayed is quite astounding and the reason why the Bahamas will never be more than a third world country anytime soon -- no matter how many Independence Day parades we throw.

Get vaccinated or we will all suffer the consequences. Who wants to go back to shutdowns, no jobs, no tourists and lots of deaths?

What deaths? Literally 3 times (600+) as many people died from poor diet cardiovascular diseases...(each year) and yet this is exactly same demographic that are primarily effected by C-19...we don't have an excess mortality tally but roughly no more extra persons have died in this country.. The reason we're third world country that can barely keep the lights on is because we elect idiotic politicians (plp and fnm) that can't balance the books or make policy decisions with courage...but by all means blame covid and people that question the data..or simply read it - inspite of the vaccine many many countries case loads have increases..substantial ones..

Some experts say the pandemic would be further gone had there been no vaccines. And yes there have been another uptick in cases in many countries and worldwide. The Pfizer company is seeking permission to give a third jab starting in December. Is this a money making scheme or a genuine vaccine process?But some are celebrating the pandemic as being over and the virus as dying. Vaccinated or not, safety should always be priority number one.

True BUT let's face the facts - CFR were overrated, IFR too...we're comparing apples to oranges, when talking about relative risk (or safety) when comparing the flu and CV19 purely on the basis of the definition of case and even cause of death..we're no longer in Kansas anymore - thanks to the testing industry and government restrictions around human activity that have generated the need to test...In 2019 there were there were 1.1 million tests conducted for the flu in the USA (test positivity of 15% FYI), by mid 2020 there were a million tests conducted every day...In spite of all that microscopic attention covid has received it's landing at around the same IFR as the flu...people are/were safe, government interference has perhaps undermined that position - 100,000 people could not feed themselves last June in Bahamas - even if every single person caught the virus in The Bahamas based on the best estimates of Cv19's IFR at most 500ish people might die - about the same as those that perish each year from poor diet, lack of exercise and cardio vascular diseases...

Lower the testing and the cases will come down. Increase the testing and the cases will go up.

I guess our corrupt public health officials haven't figured out that we have caught on to their simple game. The only key weekly statistics most of us are now interested in knowing is the number of confirmed deaths caused by the Wuhan Virus, broken down between the following categories:

1) Persons over age 65 and persons 65 and under

2) Persons with pre-existing (co-morbidity) conditions and persons without such conditions

3) Persons vaccinated (including type of vaccine and number of jabs) and persons unvaccinated

4) Persons from The Bahamas (naming their home island) and persons from abroad (naming their home nation)

5) Persons who have not yet been conclusively placed in one of the other three categories above

Apart from possibly the strain of the Wuhan Virus that caused the person's death, there's very little else that many of us would wish to know by way of public health statistics on a no names basis.

Reference to "three" in item 5 should be "four".

And the vaccine deaths continues. Sad for those experiamenting with their test subject bodies. Vaccines are only a test.
