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." https://www.theatlantic.com/health/arch…
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.
The Bahamas largest market, where the gov't has spent the most money ($100 million in the last year alone) to draw in tourists is the US. However the US has continued to be a hotspot for Covid-19 for an entire year while it's gov't is still refusing to address the enormity of this public health crisis.
The gov't of the Bahamas is no less culpable of compounding their own public health crisis by using 'free' antigen tests that cannot detect Coronavirus in asymptomatic cases. There are rapid tests that work, these are not among them.
There is another proven fact, this virus kills people of color, people with diabetes and other pre existing conditions.
All the Govt has to do is set up travelling lab technicians but the real problem lies in the type of rapid test they are using which they've admitted is useless in detecting Covid in asymptomatic cases. There are rapid tests that provide better results, the gov't refuses their purchase.
Every day these behemoths are allowed to park without oversight in our pristine waters threatens the environment and the economy of The Bahamas. The Ministry of the Environment has all the investigative tools and powers needed to make an informed conclusion and act in this matter, in fact all departments of this government have such powers allowing for swift action when called upon. So why is the 'acting' Director spouting gobbledygook about a 'task force' and 'a group'? If the crime is known, is blatantly ongoing why hasn't the Ministry stepped in and performed their sovereign duty to protect the environment? And these are the same guys who will police the offshore drilling of the Bahamas Petroleum Co? Not a good optics fellas!
