And why would the WHO, the FDA, etc approve of any vaccines on emergency basis?
They've been proven to save lives, and in the rare cases of those contracting Covid after being immunized, no one has died.
The longer folks refuse to face facts and continue this community spread the more likely mutant variants develop.

Seems like a good opportunity to start to clean up Potter's Cay, regulate the businesses and building structures by issuing permits upon suitable plans submitted. I do not understand these owners sitting around for 12 hours a day waiting for the gov't to fund the construction of new premises etc. To whom do these biz owners pay rent? In one article an owner said he needs the gov't to fund his rebuilding for at least t $120K in costs...that should be a joke.

How often are teachers and students tested? Have they ever been tested on a regular basis? Since it isn't mentioned I'd say never.

The question should be how many folks including tourists would prefer to patronize establishments knowing that their staff, the servers, and chefs have been vaccinated? .
Who suffers a loss in wages when a business is closed because of an outbreak?
Who suffers from the loss of reputation? Not just the owner but all the staff.
Who wants to go to a hospital or clinic or grocery store where owners/workers are not serious enough about Covid to get vaccinated?
Or send their loved ones to care homes in which their caregivers are not vaccinated?
This talk of plantations and slavery is poppycock.
Reality bites deal with that.

Dr Sands is correct, this gov't needs to buy vaccines and put a tremendous push on for vaccinations.
They should not be waiting for global handouts nor buying the cheapest(AZ,) that has suffered the bad press of serious side effects for those under 55.
Look at what's happening in Ontario Canada now, the result of a gov't that refused to listen to their own MDs and Public Health officials.
I do agree however that restaurants, schools, and medical facilities should insist on vaccinations, if their biz/facility becomes a hotspot they'll all suffer from closure and loss of reputation.

Corruption in the Bahamas is a well oiled machine that's existed for centuries, there's no new news here, just a sad tale of a society that refuses to say no.

It is not just a matter of the cases of CVST in Europe, it is rather a vaccine-induced systemic blood disorder, now the UK and a host of other countries are reporting and investigating more cases and deaths.
The Atlantic has an enlightening article on the dangers and of mislabeling this syndrome. The heightened alerts are based on new cases/data, but the study quoted found that "though all were healthy before they developed a highly unusual, seemingly contradictory mix of blood disorders: clots throughout the body along with low numbers of platelets, the blood cells that help clots form. In a follow-up article published on Saturday, Vogel and Kupferschmidt cited a German researcher who has named the syndrome “vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia,” or VIPIT... the prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia problem had already been recast in the English-language media as simply one of “blood clots... Seen in that context, the decisions to suspend the AstraZeneca rollout were puzzling—and perhaps, as some maintained, driven more by emotions than by data. The European Medicines Agency had helped create this impression"...but "These generic blood-clot data turned out to have little to do with the very specific, potential risks that several countries were confronting. The EMA said on March 18 that it had found, by then, a possible link to the AstraZeneca vaccine among 25 people who had developed the disturbing blood disorder, including nine who had died from it. All 25 had low platelet counts. Seven also had blood clots throughout their blood vessels—a condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation, which showed up here at about five times the generally expected rate. The rest had blood clots that prevented blood from draining from their brain—a condition known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, which occurred at about nine times the expected rate. Also on March 18, the vaccine authority in the U.K. reported that it was investigating five cases of those cerebral clots in people with low platelets."

Sorry but no, AstraZeneca is the only Big Pharma entity that pledged from the outset to cut their profit margins until the pandemic was over, last year before their vaccine was developed and/or deemed successful, and costs unknown they entered contracts to sell their vaccines at $4@, $3 for poorer countries.
If they had set the price equal to Moderna's at $28@, a 300 billion vaccine contract would have cost $84 billion, Pfizer's at $15@, $45 billion, not AZ's price of $1.2 billion The WHO rightly said they developed 'a vaccine for the world'.
But yes, The Bahamas government should definitely at least stop giving the vaccines to those under 50 the age group affected with deadly side effects, new data shows the efficacy in those over 50 rises from 76% to 85%.
I will not be taking this vaccine but disinformation is dangerous.

For pity's sake the tragedy is the fate of her children and circumstances of her murder.
And four hundred years of abuse and conditioning?
Try back to the dawn of man.
This 'John" ignores the plight of 7 orphans, and sees in this tragedy another opportunity for his treatise on the evils of slavery that he thinks will allow him to ignore/excuse his own culpability in the prevalence of domestic abuse.
And all the while a family mourns their loved one at the hands of her abuser.
