Yes. This would mean that people vaccinated with the Russian and Chinese vaccines probably wouldn't be allowed in either.

From what I've gathered, they were only allowing people vaccinated with FDA approved vaccines (that means vaccines with emergency use authorization). AstraZeneca, surprisingly, hasn't been FDA approved in the US. I think that they haven't received FDA approval because of issues with their data for US approval. https://www.wsj.com/articles/astrazeneca-weighs-seeking-full-u-s-approval-for-covid-shot-skipping-emergency-use-application-11620423584 AstraZeneca Weighs Seeking Full U.S. Approval for Covid Shot, Skipping Emergency-Use Application British drugmaker faces challenges gathering data; may wait to apply for full approval by the FDA, which takes longer

https://www.tmz.com/2021/06/17/frank-bonner-dead-dies-herb-tarlek-wkrp-in-cincinnati/ FRANK BONNER'WKRP' STAR DEAD AT 79 Getty Frank Bonner, famous for playing Herb Tarlek on the TV sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati," has died ... TMZ has learned. Frank died Wednesday as a result of complications from Lewy body dementia ... according to his family. We're told his loved ones are heartbroken, and they were with him when he passed away peacefully. An actor and director, Frank was best known for his work on 'WKRP' in the late 1970s and early '80s ... playing Herb, the radio station sales manager who could never land the big account. Frank's character was also known for wearing loud, plaid suits on the show plus white shoes and a matching belt. He directed a handful of episodes on the OG 'WKRP' and reprised his role as Herb in the 1990s spinoff, "The New WKRP in Cincinnati" ... and also acted and directed in "Saved By The Bell: The New Class." Frank made headlines in October 1979 when he was hospitalized following a parachute accident. He was injured after falling about 20 feet when his ascendency chute collapsed in a freak wind while he was being towed by a four-wheel drive vehicle over a dry lake bed near Los Angeles. He was 79.

Yup. A 60-59 vote that "ends" two years of paralysis with 4 deadlocked elections. I think the odds are pretty good in your favour.

Had to do a multi-quote when I saw this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-vaccination-rates-education-correlation-1.6063373 Alberta's COVID-19 vaccination rates tied to levels of formal education, data shows Researchers say correlation can help guide efforts to immunize more people

I had to do a little digging individually. Most of these articles are from when they received their first jabs. I also imagine that there was testing involved as well. Even TRUMP's White House was doing testing. And BTW Mack, they kinda were demonstrating guidelines that the CDC has for fully vaccinated people. See here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html Biden USA: Biden receives first dose of Covid-19 vaccine on live television Trudeau Canada: 'Very excited': Prime Minister Trudeau receives first dose of COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine Johnson UK: Covid vaccine: PM receives AstraZeneca jab as he urges public to do same Macron France: France's Macron says he has been vaccinated for COVID-19 Merkel Germany: Angela Merkel gets her AstraZeneca COVID vaccine shot Draghi Italy: Italy's Draghi and wife receive AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine Suga Japan: Japan PM Suga receives COVID-19 vaccination ahead of Biden meeting in U.S.

There was this announcement last month. It's a start. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-government-200-million-mrna-1.6031024 Federal government invests $200 million to build an mRNA vaccine plant in Ontario Expansion of Mississauga, Ont., site will allow Resilience Biotechnologies to produce millions of shots

I'll give them some slack. This time last year the clinical trials hadn't started yet. We're talking about millions of doses in a matter of months. We will get through this.

Love this line. “Nine out of ten times, when there’s a new outbreak, you’ll find a lab that will be working on these kinds of viruses nearby,” says Munster. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01529-3 The COVID lab-leak hypothesis: what scientists do and don’t know Nature examines arguments that the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 escaped from a lab in China, and the science behind them.

That's why I put the part that the government needs to figure out an easy and secure way to prove one's status. I am 100% on board as I should be getting my 2nd dose shortly. Fingers crossed.

Oh, but that is information that our antivaxxer friends don't want to admit. Hence, another reason why we need to get to herd immunity ASAP.

Thanks Reddit. China not messing around. China will get to herd immunity as fast as they can. Our anit-vaxxer friends are helping China "win". So ask them why. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01545-3 China is vaccinating a staggering 20 million people a day Scientists are impressed by China’s juggernaut of a vaccination drive, through which it is currently administering nearly 60% of all COVID-19 vaccine doses globally.

Well, we do have the BC Services card app that can access your records from the Health Gateway from your phone. Your vaccinations are there. I fully believe that for the next year or so that proof of vaccinations or proof of a negative Covid test from the previous 24 hours or less should be the requirement for attending events. Period. There are a number of places in the US that already require this. MSG for one. So the government should be working on providing a easy, and secure way to do this.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01505-x Six months of COVID vaccines: what 1.7 billion doses have taught scientists At a pivotal moment in the pandemic, Nature explores key questions about the vaccines that countries are racing to deliver while viral variants spread around the globe.

For those wondering about this. It is looking like Pfizer won't have their results until the fall. Then they will be asking for authorization then. Just as was posted earlier in this thread. Good news. Especially for nations that have few vaccines thus far. Vaccinating large groups of children (many go to school) can be speedy and be very helpful in achieving herd immunity. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-start-large-study-test-covid-19-vaccine-children-below-12-2021-06-08/?utm_source=reddit.com Pfizer to test COVID-19 vaccine in larger group of children below 12 Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) said on Tuesday it will begin testing its COVID-19 vaccine in a larger group of children under age 12 after selecting a lower dose of the shot in an earlier stage of the trial. The study will enroll up to 4,500 children at more than 90 clinical sites in the United States, Finland, Poland and Spain, the company said. Based on safety, tolerability and the immune response generated by 144 children in a phase I study of the two-dose shot, Pfizer said it will test a dose of 10 micrograms in children between 5 and 11 years of age, and 3 micrograms for the age group of 6 months to 5. A Pfizer spokesperson said the company expects data from 5- to 11-year-olds in September and would likely ask regulators for emergency use authorization later that month. Data for children 2 to 5 years old could arrive soon after that, he said. Pfizer expects to have data from the 6-month to 2-year-old age group sometime in October or November. The vaccine - made by Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SA - has been authorized for use in children as young as 12 in Europe, the United States and Canada. They receive the same dose as adults: 30 micrograms. Nearly 7 million teens have received at least one dose of the vaccine in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Inoculating children and young people is considered a critical step toward reaching "herd immunity" and taming the COVID-19 pandemic. Report ad Still, scientists in the United States and elsewhere are studying the possibility of a link between heart inflammation and mRNA vaccines, particularly in young men. Both Pfizer and Moderna Inc's (MRNA.O) vaccines are mRNA shots. Israel's Health Ministry said last week it had found the small number of myocarditis cases observed mainly in young men who received the Pfizer vaccine there were probably linked to their vaccination. The cases were generally mild and did not last long. Pfizer has said it is aware of the Israeli observations of myocarditis and that no causal link to its vaccine has been established.

Saw this. Helpful when dealing with anti-vaxxers who go on about how quickly the vaccines were made public.

Some of these people suffer from the psychology that there has to be a cause for big events. It cannot be random. It's a similar story to people who cannot accept evolution or the big bang, but can accept that there was a global flood that wiped out life on the planet and the only reason we are here is because some old due build a boat.

A whole part of the issue is while there are/were negotiations for peace, Palestinians were being evicted from areas they've lived in for decades and more while those areas were then handed out to Jewish "settlers". While one hand was distracting, the other hand was up to no good.

From what I've read, Pfizer probably won't seek under 12 to about 3 or 4 years of age until later this year or early next. I think it will be a combination of clinical trials and seeing how the vaccinations pan out with the current ages of minors who are approved.

Pizzagate possible because of this. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/23/eabf1234 Conservatives’ susceptibility to political misperceptions Abstract The idea that U.S. conservatives are uniquely likely to hold misperceptions is widespread but has not been systematically assessed. Research has focused on beliefs about narrow sets of claims never intended to capture the richness of the political information environment. Furthermore, factors contributing to this performance gap remain unclear. We generated an unique longitudinal dataset combining social media engagement data and a 12-wave panel study of Americans’ political knowledge about high-profile news over 6 months. Results confirm that conservatives have lower sensitivity than liberals, performing worse at distinguishing truths and falsehoods. This is partially explained by the fact that the most widely shared falsehoods tend to promote conservative positions, while corresponding truths typically favor liberals. The problem is exacerbated by liberals’ tendency to experience bigger improvements in sensitivity than conservatives as the proportion of partisan news increases. These results underscore the importance of reducing the supply of right-leaning misinformation.
