Oh, yes, I'm sure the doctors and patients just love being outside in pouring rain and thunderstorms like the ones we've had lately. Very safe, too.

I see nothing about a sickout or walkout among the morgue employees in that article.

Do you have a link to that story you can post?

Probably "Sputnik News" lol

I agree that the government's policies here in terms of letting untested tourists in both prior to and after the development of the vaccine has cost Bahamian lives. I felt it was irresponsible of Minnis to reopen the country to tourism before a vaccine was available last July. But it's not just tourists who are spreading the disease. The majority of Bahamians are unvaccinated and still not following COVID safety protocols, allowing the disease to run rampant. And the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists who dominate the comments section of this site and local social media are absolutely contributing to the problem of vaccine hesitancy among Bahamians and the subsequent deaths associated with that.

Your tiresome recycled paranoid comments and personal attacks will never erase the blood from your hands.

It's absolutely shameful that The Tribune is allowing this nonsensical and completely false anti-vax garbage to flourish here. It is literally costing Bahamian lives.

By suppressing symptoms which release COVID droplets into the air, vaccines reduce transmission. That's just common sense. And again, your theory that vaccines increase COVID cases is destroyed by your U.S. example. If vaccines are ineffective "placebos" which cause people to act more recklessly and spread the disease, then the U.S.'s COVID infection numbers would be skyrocketing and India's would be extremely low. Instead, the opposite is true.

The examples you cite of India and the U.S. directly contradict your theory that vaccines are causing the rise in infection rates. 33% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated versus 2.3% of Indian's population. As others have pointed out, vaccinated people still need to follow basic COVID precautions so as not to potentially spread the disease to others, but the statistics show that vaccines are having a positive impact on slowing the spread of the virus: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/202…

My husband, a COVID survivor who has continuously experienced constant congestion and scratchy throat 7 months after contracting COVID received his first dose of the AZ vaccine at the end of March. He experienced no side effects and is looking forward to getting his second dose in a few weeks. I went to the U.S. a month ago to get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine since I was not eligible to get the AZ vaccine here yet. I had a little bit of arm soreness and was fatigued for a couple of days after, but I have not experienced any side effects since. I will happily take a slightly sore arm and a few days of sleepiness over having to be placed on a ventilator and dying or developing lung scarring and other organ damage from COVID.
