Another RBDF boat to end up on a reef,

Unfortunately the Bahamas suffers from people in authority who suffer from a severe case of save my own arse syndrome, meaning I won't make a decision in case I loose my job so pass it (maybe) higher up the food chain where the same disease exists.

Surely a condition of allowing a foreign company to operate would be the guarantee to train suitable Bahamian employees to opetate, maintain and repair this equipment,

Once again an innacurate statement. British scientists have suggested that under 40 year olds should be offered an alternative. In reality you have a greater chance of a blood clot by taking the birth control pill, a long haulflight
being bed bound in hospital and for a multitude of other medical problems.

What on earth has this to do with the passing of another human being ?

I empathsize with this young officer and the inmates living and working in disgusting conditions, but why this refusal en mass to take the vaccine. .Vacines and most if not all medicines may cause a reaction in a small percentage of individuals yet we still take them.and the odds of catching and dying from covid are far greatet than a blood clot.

Rumours Rumours. Also heard that little green men from Mars are amongst us.

Wrong, they are a vacine the same as a flue shot or polio. I suggest the discomfort that very few experience after being vaccinated or the worst case hospitilisation and possible death makes this a sensible choice.

Get your facts right.1 Yes its political because the EU has made a total cock up of the vaccination programme, dithering until supplies had been allocated toforward planning countries such as the UK. Secondly this blood clot scare is absolute nonsense. 62% of orthopedic patients will experience a blood clot in hospital.The birth control pill is proven to cause blood clots in some women. Long Haul airline passengers per thousand have an increased incidence of blood clots. On any given day out of millions of adults hundreds will suffer from a blood clot. The AZ vaccine has experienced less cases of clots than a thousand adults in normal day tp day life. Just note how the EU is now changing its advice but the damage to public confidence is lasting.

One or two seemingly sensible suggestions but the hands of the Bahamian economy rest in fiscal commonsense, hard work and minimizing corruption. Year after year month after month we hear the same old " God is the answer, God will sort things out " on and on ,yet if he exists his efforts fail at every turn.There is no logic to praising a higher entity that never ends misery, starvation, violence or crop failures as is shown in so many countries. I echo hrysippus and proud........ stop pushing this religious stuff onto the general public.
