thedestroyerofworlds Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The Government is not looking to give the kind of approval that the UK did (temporary with limited roll quantity) but for a more general roll out. Health Canada could be in a position to approve Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine within 10 days, said the senior medical adviser in the agency's health products and food branch. Health Canada is currently reviewing four vaccines, from Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Jannsen. The federal and provincial governments are working on the logistics of rolling out vaccines once approval is granted. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thecurrent/the-current-for-dec-3-2020-1.5825717/canada-could-approve-covid-19-vaccine-in-week-to-10-days-says-health-canada-senior-adviser-1.5826508 Canada could approve COVID-19 vaccine in 'week to 10 days,' says Health Canada senior adviser Health Canada still receiving info from Pfizer but review 'progressing really well' 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kryten Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 I am glad someone brought up Chicken Pox. Chicken Pox is relatively harmless but annoying and unpleasant. Unfortunately for us, that mild pox grows teeth later in life and is capable of striking us down with one of the most painful conditions known; Shingles. COVID is obviously deadlier but still considered mild by (too) many people. We are getting reports of long-term effects but this is after just weeks or months of exposure. What effect will this disease have on our bodies years down the road? I can guarantee you that the speculative side-effects associated with a new vaccine are dwarfed in severity by the speculative health problems that can arise from Covid exposure. Even those that were asymptomatic can still end up with terminal health issues which should automatically divorce people from the “herd immunity through exposure” school of fighting this illness. Even if you don’t care about front-line workers or flattening the curve, there are other reasons to keep your ass at home and get inoculated when the vaccine is available to you. 1 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Pfizer cut vaccine rollout target due to supply chain problems - report Thu 3 Dec 2020 20:42:29 GMT WSJ report Pfizer expects to ship half the doses it had originally planned after finding raw materials in early production didn't meet its standards, according to people cited by the WSJ. The company had hoped to roll out 100m doses this year but that's been reduced to 50m. Pfizer still plans to deliver more than 1b doses next year. "Some early batches of the raw materials failed to meet the standards. We fixed it, but ran out of time to meet this year's projected shipments."

Popular Post TheRussianRocket1994 Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 Tired of the bullshiz on FB...so posted my thoughts re: the vaccine... Re: Covid Vaccine... 1) Before i say anything, of course everyone wants it to be safe / effective, first & foremost. 2) Unless you have a crystal ball (to see long term effects) & you can test it yourself, then you need to put trust / put faith in the scientist / companies / government involved. 3) Re: it's quick development...you need to keep in mind the large amount of scientist / companies working on it this time around. Also, technology is miles ahead of where it was even 5-10 years ago, let alone 25-30 years ago. We have tools we never had in the past. 4) You can talk about the potential side effects of a vaccine, but what about the potential serious side effects (long term) / potential death from covid. 5) Again, at the end of the day, it's not just about you...people have long term serious side effects from covid, people are dying from covid, people are losing loved ones to covid, doctors & nurses are struggling due to covid, teachers are struggling due to covid, kids & young adults are dying WAY to young due to covid & much more. 6) While you shouldn't assume the worst, you also shouldn't assume it'll be fine / it won't happen to me. As they say, assuming makes an a** out of you & me. 7) It's about the big picture & taking care of each other, not about being selfish / entitled! 1 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he at least wasn't terrible as a president; however, perhaps Trump has lowered that bar a little too much in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there hasn't been a lot of cases up until now, at least up here. People let their guard down a little too much. Nothing to do with schools. I know why you decided to talk about schools. We could be talking about the most unrelated thing and you'd still cling it to schools at this point. lol Edited December 4, 2020 by The Lock 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 8 hours ago, stawns said: Honestly so many of them are so racist that Obama taking it would likely backfire and cause them to dig in deeper. Ultimately, when they're denied entry to their work, to restaurants, to theatres, sporting events, other countries etc etc, they'll have no choice. They should let Obama inoculate them all, just for s&g I would find it very hard for work and restaurants to do it. Sports/theatres/flying I can see it though. But yea Obama getting it won't change anyones mind I don't think. The people on the fence will wait to see any short term side effects first, and then you'll have your people who are already getting it and those who are hell bent on not. I don't know how you can force a vaccine when no vaccine has never been forced before. We have friends who wont vaccinate their kid at all, none of the baby/kids ones either which I find insane but all the power to them, so if they didn't have to vaccinate their kid with all those other ones how do you go to them and say they all have to get vaccinated with this one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...right here. I am being told to put my faith in things like the government and Pfizer? Wackos have been refusing to vaccinate for things like polio amd measles for years. Where was the massive outcry there, how about the fines and demands for further restrictions? I know I’ll just get roasted again, but I will not be getting this vaccine in the immediate future. To those who do, I thank you. I will trust my immune system in the short term as it has been a hell of a lot more reliable to me than the government or massive drug companies for keeping up its side of a deal. Everyone can feel however they want, and I agree with Russ. His friends are insane. If people think I am because I want to see how this goes before assuming that there are not more side effects/long term implications/interaction with drugs im already on then you have that right. I’ve been called a murderer. I’ve been told my brain is melting, that I have no empathy for anyone and lost a few friends already but I’m still not doing it right away. Some will take it ASAP, many will wait a bit but in the end I’m pretty sure most will do it once it’s been around a bit. Putting a gun to my head (and many others) to force your ideas is not the great idea that some seem to think it is. Let us come to our own choices as making demands is just going to turn more relatively level headed people into conspiracy theorists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling it online as a DR B miracle covid prevention substance...... 50.00 for a small container the size of a small water bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Health is provincial jurisdiction so any mandatory Vax will be decided by individual provinces.. I can envision a electronic vax passport or ap on your phone. You need to show your E vax passport to enter a restaurant, store or Canucks game etc... No passport = no entry. So the vax will be optional........ but useful to most people. DR B will probably go on the record for not requiring the Vax passport in BC schools.... since she thinks covid dies when it enters a school.......... Just like kids can't transmit cold. / flu either right ??? Edited December 4, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
