Concerns are now being raised in the YS about the efficacy of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the US. Reports are that a lot of the data on this vaccine is outdated and it is now believed that the effectiveness of this vaccine is below 60% as opposed to the reported 90% effective rate. And this is causing frustration, according to Dr Fauci, as some persons who have taken the vaccine have been given a ‘false sense of hope.’ The US is now leaning towards the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, (an American company) with claims that that vaccine is more effective and more easy to transport and administer.

I understand that now people who get the vaccine and die just never actually got the vaccine. Also chocolate rations going up.
