Tortorella's Rant Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 23 hours ago, Stelar said: global pandemic arises which is killing all the world economies as well as hundreds of thousands of people, scientists work tirelessly to get a vaccine manufactured which is effective and deemed safe by scientists in their trials, begin to roll it out and some say, "nay, I'm good, I'll wait till my Facebook groups say it is ok to take" yep. That is entirely within people's rights. The alternative is authoritarianism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we could let Darwin take over, but unfortunately that takes innocent lives with it too. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but wonder if he secretly hated the job, but only took up the mantle because "Daddy told me to"... and (to use a Cantonese saying) felt like "a monkey without a leash" when he was voted out and viewed the Obamas as his personal saviour... 1 Quote 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 IRR 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
