Is the Delta variant peaking? Most countries including the US, Brazil and India are showing declining numbers of new cases. So overall global numbers of new Covid cases are declining once again. Will it be sustainable?

The US just reported its most active week for new corona cases since the pandemic began. Florida led the pack with 22,000 cases alone on Friday. The Bahamas also recorded some 166 cases on a single day. Florida is now considering not opening schools for face to face learning is the state’s Governor says he will not mandate laws for mandatory masks in schools. So will The Bahamas see additional record cases as Bahamians return home from travel and vacations across the US. And tourists continue to flock to these shores?

this is where it becomes scary: so the virus is actually building up in a vaccinated persons’s body, but the symptoms are being suppressed and these people move around, not being tested and spreading the virus. Fauci has admitted on Friday that ‘breakthrough’ patients who have been vaccinated can spread the virus. But what will happen to those who have been vaccinated and their viral load continues to increase? Will vaccinated people start getting ill in great numbers and need hospitalization? Is this what is happening in Florida, where 60% of the adult population is vaccinated, yet Florida recorded its highest number of new cases on Friday, some 21,000. And what about Israel? That country gave third doses of the vaccine to it’s most vulnerable people but yet is still seeing a surge in new cases. There are too many unanswered question and confusing information. The CDC said the unvaccinated were a threat because they were infecting vaccinated people. Now they are admitting that vaccinated people are infecting unvaccinated as well as other vaccinated people. Though Fauci is saying a vaccinated person can only infect another vaccinated person when there is a breakthrough of the virus. But breakthrough cases are also increasing. Apparently they rushed these vaccines not knowing what the intermediate and long term effects will be. The world should have went the way of China and continue to enforce safety protocols and strict border control, if even in conjunction with vaccines.And, despite the surge in Florida, the mayor says he will NOT enact a mandatory mask wearing law.

The vaccines are causing more Bahamians to die than the beetles, prove me wrong

Maybe the surge is part of the plot to get people to vaccinate. And even though there is a huge surge in new cases, the numbers of deaths remain relatively unchanged. But have faith in the vaccines. When Joe Biden half a press conference a few months ago to announce relaxing of restrictions on vaccinated persons, which included no longer having to wear masks, he kept his mask on throughout the conference. Until a female reporter asked why he was still wearing a mask if it was safe for vaccinated people to ‘toss them.’ Biden briefly removed his mask, answered one or two more questions and left the stage. As soon as he was out of the sight of the cameras, he hurriedly replaced his mask. That is mask confidence. They have since altered the requirements and everyone is once again required to wear masks.

On the lighter side mass vaccination is nothing new. If you grew up on one of them Family Islands where, if one person in the house get the flu, everybody had to drink Bush medicine. And if the neighbors walked in during ‘inoculation time’ they had to get their doses too. And if someone in the settlement was known to have the flu, their doses were delivered to them, lime and salt too.

Vaccines alone, at least in their current format, can’t eradicate the Covid-19 virus.

Do you know that FOUR Countries have HALF the world’s Covid-19 cases? And that the US has over 100,000 again and has more than double the number of new cases than any other country on the planet. The US is now the hotspot for Covid-18 with California, Texas, Florida and New York being the leading states with the highest numbers of cases. States that are not unfamiliar to Bahamians. And obviously the surge (or new wave) in The Bahamas I’d driven by imported cases from our neighbors, both by Bahamians visiting that country and by Americans coming here. After Biden took office in January, he implemented mask wearing policies and other protocols that saw the US fall from the world’s leading Covid-29 hotspot to having cases (and deaths) that were no longer pandemic . Likewise The Bahamas, through stringent measures, brought its Corona cases to a tolerable level and well under control. So how did both these countries get to this place? Skyrocketing numbers of new cases, over capacity medical facilities and unmanageable cases of Covid-18? Shortages of medical staff that are overwhelmed and overworked. The claim is the Delta variant is the new devil in the details. The new strain that is very contagious and rapidly spreading. In fact it is now responsible fir 80 percent of new cases in the US. The debate is still out on whether this strain is in The Bahamas, but the experts believe it is definitely affecting the numbers. Then there’s the elephant in the room…those vaccines..! Not to get into another debate about whether they are effective or not or safe or not, but was the vaccine roll-put handled properly? Was it the right and proper thing to abandon all other safety protocols in favor of the vaccines? Well some states in the US have gone back to requiring everyone to wear masks and follow the original safety guidelines. And they are seeing results. The US president is inviting authorities to give residents $100 to take the vaccines. But what about The Bahamas. Some bday we lucky Minnis didn’t lock us down. But are Bahamians the problem? Will locking down local residents solve the problem when the tourists sector remains wide open and visitors have more freedoms and liberties than Bahamians. ? Why not go back to the original protocols? Everyone must mask up(Bahamians kept theirs on), everyone crossing the borders must be tested, vaccinated or not, and restrictions on some activities. There will always be suspicions and hesitancy about the vaccines and the more they are being forced on the world’s population or so it seems, the greater the hesitancy and the suspicion will become. Some of the least vaccinated countries are showing the lowest numbers of new Covid cases. And two things are common amongst those countries: they continue to follow the original safety protocols and there is a limited number of people entering and re-entering those countries. At some point authorities must accept the vaccines alone, at least in

And so the vaccines’ sales push continue. The man is on the street corner selling vaccines he doesn’t currently have. As for claims of making the vaccines mandatory, he must first get them FDA approved for other than emergency use. Is that why US vaccines cannot be purchased and only donated.

The ship should be impounded and hefty fines levied. Bradford Marine also.
