"A hopeless bunch of experimental vaccine pushers ..."
Now lets check the facts
True developed in 1 year verse the old record of 4. But you have not addresed the safety profile.
This happened because: 1. Scientests were not working from scratch. They have been doing research on coronaviruses for decades.
2. Also because COVID-10 was a worldwide problem there was unpresidented worldwide colaboration and countires in Europe and the US funded the scientests.
3. Usually there is a problem of volunteere for testing, not so with these vaccines.
4. Clinical trials are normally run sequentially. This time scientests could run some trials simultaneously, which save a great deal of time.
5. technololigy is much better today and able to asssit in solving problems much more quickly.

Economist says...

You conviently forget that it was the Delta varient for which the shot had not been made for. You also fail to mention the low death rates.

Economist says...

And you also believe that Trump won the last election correct? All those electronic vote machines, right? Even though the paper count showed differently.

Economist says...

For onec I must agree with Birdie.

Only one of the three hotels is open. They can easily have enough room for more than double the capicity currently available at the Susan J. Wallace Centre.

No one in government is thinking. They must all have got the COVID foggy brain.

Economist says...

The Iceland article shows that the vaccination appears to reduce the effect of the virus but not the spread.

I also note that they are talking about an additional shot for those who got the J&J vaccine.

Economist says...

Thank you, great articles. Clearly shows that the vaccinated must also continue to wear masks and get tested to stop the spread.

Economist says...

Thank you, a most informative article. Gives us much to think about.

Economist says...

Please send the link to the Lancet or one of those peer reviewed publications that state that vaccinated persons are the problem for the spreading as you are implying.

Economist says...

He is referring to those who have been admitted. If you take 100 people with COVID 19, who have been admitted to hospital, you will find that 95 have not been vaccinated and 5 have.

He is not referring to the general population as you claim.

Bottom line is that if you get COVID and are unvaccinated you are much more likely to end up in hospital than the vaccinated. That's all.

Economist says...

" Had this been in The Bahamas, the media would have accused Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison of mismanaging the COVID-19 crisis"

He is being accused of mismanagement in his own country. They had a very poor rollout of their vaccination program.

On Minnis has failed - but he’s not alone
