... that sounds great, but what is the penalty for those who got their shots, get covid and then spread it? The science says the shots do not stop you from getting covid and may not protect you from future variants.
The science says those with natural immunity (may have had covid in the past) have longer lasting protection from future covid infections including new variants. So why not antibody test ALL those who remain "unvaccinated" to see who had the infection already and stop harassing them about getting the shots or threatening them to lose their jobs, because they are better protected than those who had them!
... for $17 million we could have bought several helicopters that would have multiple uses in surveillance, air transport for sick family islanders and use during and after hurricanes! What a waste of money!
... and now the nonsense begins. Only a person who is willfully blind cannot see Jerome's conflict of interest and abuse of position. But then again, birds of a feather ....
... her stats are showing that there is now an increase in deaths among those "vaccinated" and being hospitalized with covid! Just before the election they were boasting that there were no covid deaths among the "vaccinated".
Secondly, her numbers do not reflect those who died from various complications after being given the shots, but I never expected transparency from the government!
... I could be wrong, but it seems unwise to try to pull people who are drowning into a sinking ship! It only hastens the demise of those on the ship!
The Bahamas is a sinking ship in large part because of the amount of immigrants we have absorbed into this country. It has driven down our standard of living, encouraged crime, reduce employment opportunities for Bahamians at the entry level and created a two nation system in our country. People who show no regard for the laws of a country are not likely to become law abiding after they gain illegal entry!
... even worse, we are essentially a socialist state with "democratically held elections". The over dependence on the government to address individual needs is unsustainable. We cannot continue to borrow to keep the civil service employed, give "free" healthcare, antenatal care, free vaccinations and medications for a population with a high level of non-communicable diseases without the economy imploding!
Governments responsibility is to provide an environment that allows businesses to flourish, educate people on their responsibilities and allow individuals to make their own financial choices. This current model is unsustainable!
... if we send back about 9000, some Bahamians might be able to find some jobs, there would be less crime and strain on the educational and healthcare systems and less burden on the public purse. Could be a win win for us in these challenging times!!
... why does GB have MP's and need a specific portfolio for a "Minister" for the island? This post is a waste of government funds and nothing more than a political tool. Its starting to look look more of the same!
... there's not one government facility that is crumbling now that was not crumbling under the PLP during their last term in office despite all these places having maintenance workers!
