RUPERTKBD Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So "Jina" finally has their own vaccine. (Surprised it took so long, since they created the virus in a Whuhan lab...) https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/30/asia/china-sinopharm-vaccine-efficacy-intl-hnk/index.html Quote Chinese regulators have approved the country's first homegrown coronavirus vaccine, developed by state-owned pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm, officials announced Thursday. The approval comes a day after Sinopharm said its vaccine is 79.34% effective, citing interim analysis of Phase 3 clinical trials. China has drastically scaled up its vaccine emergency use program in recent weeks. Since December 15, it has administered more than 3 million vaccine doses on "key groups" in the population, Zeng Yixin, vice-minister of China's National Health Commission, said at a news conference Thursday. That's on top of the 1.5 million doses administered on "high-risk groups" by the end of November, Zeng added. So far, the only side effect is that an hour after getting your shot, you feel like getting another one.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This person was fired, but I'm wondering why he or she hasn't been arrested.... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/wisconsin-health-worker-fired-after-intentionally-spoiling-covid-19-vaccine-doses/ar-BB1cmMU0?li=AAggNb9 Quote A Wisconsin health-care worker has been fired after admitting they intentionally removed dozens of vials of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine from a pharmacy refrigerator, forcing more than 500 doses to be thrown out. Advocate Aurora Health said in a statement that the individual admitted to their action on Wednesday after the company was led to believe the incident, which happened last weekend, was due to human error. "We are more than disappointed that this individual's actions will result in a delay of more than 500 people receiving their vaccine," the company said. "This was a violation of our core values, and the individual is no longer employed by us." The company said it has notified "appropriate authorities" for further investigation. It did not explain further why the vials were removed. The incident happened overnight on Dec. 26 at the Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, a town nearly 40 kilometres north of Milwaukee. Advocate Aurora Health originally said on Monday that over 50 vials of the Moderna vaccine were removed from a refrigerator to access other items but were not replaced. Each vial contains 10 doses of the vaccine. "While some of the vaccine was administered to team members on Dec. 26 within the approved 12-hour post-refrigeration window, unfortunately most of it had to be discarded due to the temperature storage requirements necessary to maintain its viability," the company said then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a person remove 500 doses of the vaccine? Was he/she trying to steal them?

Jaimito Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Another day, another record. 3900 deaths. When this is over, it will likely exceed US combat casualties of WWII, and perhaps all the US wars in the 20th century combined if the trajectory doesn't change soon.

Somehow I think China's numbers are more fudged than ol' Uncle Donny's tax returns I really hope people do the right thing, tomorrow (today actually) for new years, and for a few more months or however long is needed to give this virus the sweet kick in the ass it so badly needs and send it home crying to mommy-virus Oh did you know that the covidiots call us sheeple "cov-wards" now? I saw it popping up on articles from CBC.. I mean.. that doesn't even work phonetically - but I'm getting sidetracked here. GO CANUCKS!

UKNuck96 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55479018 worth a read and listen to if you can. yes the new strain is more transmissible but it’s the actions of people not the virus which leads to the spread. this may be in the UK but seeing how people here pretty much think it won’t happen to them or it’s not serious or it’s no big deal to break to rules as it’s only once or twice etc.... but the nhs is the 4/5th largest employer in the world (depending on whether you count McDonald franchises as part of the group total or not as they are technically separately owned) And the inpact on this is severe and some places catastrophic. I would advise those in BC to stop and think what would happen to your hospitals if you let it get to that state and then take action to make sure it doesn’t happen. personal responsibility is the best way and quickest way to get to a level or normality again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 US hospital employee 'intentionally discarded vaccine vials' A US hospital where more than 50 vials of the Moderna vaccine were discarded earlier this week has said the employee who removed the vaccines did so “intentionally” and was no longer employed by the hospital, local media report. On Monday, hospital officials said 57 vials of the vaccine had to be thrown away because of human error. The vials being discarded led to 500 doses of the vaccine being thrown out, according to the statement from the Advocate Aurora Health medical centre in Grafton, Wisconsin. “We immediately launched an internal review and were led to believe this was caused by inadvertent human error," the hospital said in the statement on Wednesday. "The individual in question today acknowledged that they intentionally removed the vaccine from refrigeration. “We are more than disappointed that this individual’s actions will result in a delay of more than 500 people receiving their vaccine. This was a violation of our core values, and the individual is no longer employed by us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when I obey the speed limit in a school zone or wear my seatbelt in a car, that makes me one too? Or does the law apply to only some of the people some of the time? Hey, I didn't see any kids crossing the crosswalk at the time I was blowing through at 60 kms so its ok right? If there is one thing I can't stand it's kids walking around, trying to go play and crap. If they get in the way of my car when I'm late trying to get to a New Year's party. Well F them, their priorities are effed. They probably didn't have any booze anyway, probably weren't even going to a big social indoor gathering, useless small people. Just like everyone else whose priority isn't getting wasted today. Stand up for yourselves ... drive fast, drive drunk, get wasted at a big party all night long.
