I will say this - it's more profitable to create a product that ensures repeat purchase and therefore increase the lifetime value of the consumer than to create something the consumer only uses once. This is just business 101.

It is useless for the purposes of bringing and end to the pandemic and/or providing long term immunity to the recipient of vaccines. Efficacy level of 90+ plus inoculation rate 70% to reach HIT, if efficacy rate drops then you need to inoculate a greater percentage of the population. Transmission is still a huge factor; if virus can replicate in spite vaccination then the chances of variance increases which ultimately makes matters worse down the road. The vaccine seems to 'act' more as a therapeutic given it's failure to actually immunise recipients, which is great in terms protecting those that are vulnerable as chances of death are high. But for young folks the benefits are marginal particularly given the 'term' of protection is unknown and potential side effects of additional boosters are also unknown.

Loooooollllll - the rubber meets the road - when’s the expiration date again?

Israel 80% vaccinated braces for huge impact on hospitalization....just like they did this time last year...it’s almost as if they forget that respiratory pathogen are cyclical and seasonal in nature and vaccine does not cure old age...

We didn’t have any. And we didn’t have any last year this time. Somehow cases subsided on their own. The only economic downfall was incurred by widespread lockdowns and constant policy changes that undermined consumer confidence - that confidence is not tied to vaccination rates.

4.5 months expiration date... wow so how old do we think that batch we re getting will be...

Yay more side effects to worry about...

Totally worth it for young healthy people to take vaccines...

Oh and This adds kydney impact to the list...that should be nothing for Bahamians to worry about..kydney disorders are not that common right?

Hey bobby - I love chickens and eggs which one came first? - I know you love your links..

So here is great paper that breaks its down (a little dated - before they forgot to remember that the vaccine don't do much to stop transmission - eek - and even before they admitted c19 and variants are airborne - also eek - but they hit the nail on the head here:

"These “escape mutations” typically arise when the virus is put under selective pressure by antibodies that limit but do not eliminate viral replication. Under these conditions, the virus might then find a way to escape this pressure and restore its ability to reproduce more efficiently."

Mass vaccinations (yay less severe symptoms) with leaky vaccines means meaner virus can be forced to evolve more efficiently (naaay that no good)...also boosters for life (yay - this bits not in the article) !!

But if you see where @rodentos is coming from with the chickens you could start here (a little pre pandemic article with nice context):

exactly...also good luck storing/transporting Pfizer/moderna durning the hottest time of the year with power cuts galore.

Amen - 1.5 years of emergency orders were bad...wait til Minnis conveniently alters the constitution for the next generation of Bahamian's in the name of health. Our children should not have to inherit a country with less freedoms than their parents..The charade must end...
