skategal Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Not a big surprise I guess, seeing lots of allegations of people (US at this time) paying to jump the queue for vaccinations. Hoping that our medical system will prevent this, at least for the first few months when the focus should be on the oldest, the front line workers, the most immune compromised.

I get that it will happen. I don't have to agree with the ethics of it though unless if the money goes to helping others in need at the same time. there's always a crisis for someone with a health issue. Also, they didn't create the crisis (that was Bill Gates /s). These companies take huge risks in developing new drugs, of course they need to make money. Ethics is a slippery slope particularly when we're working off of individual definitions of it, if we wanted the drug industry to be not for profit you might not get the innovations needed to help people.

There's no one to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm more cynical than you are.....I won't be surprised at all to hear that some private health care clinic (Copeman?) might get access to vaccine and "arrange" for their extremely well off clientele to obtain vaccinations long before they might otherwise.

A.A.A Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Finally got the vaccine today...such an overwhelming feeling. This last year has been so difficult, personally and professionally. Feels like I can kind of make out a light at the end of a long tunnel. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are suckers. The real issue is not the vaccines and tracking people or being zombified. That's a smokescreen. The real issue is the testing. They're taking dna samples of everybody and are cloning people as we speak. The clones will all vote for lefty governments. The people replaced by clones will eventually be turned into soylent red. Don't worry, the soylent red will be pet food. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 The US will end up at over 500,000, even if no one else gets covid-ever. http://www.covid-19canada.com/ 8,313,923 active cases multiply by 1.7% = 141,336+ current dead 360,229 = 501,565 Canada 78,949 active, mort rate 2.7%= 2,131 plus 15,926 current dead= 18,051. The US is basically 9 times Canada population. If Canada was the same pop. we would have 162,513 dead. The US screwed up their response to covid costing 339,000 extra lives. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Should mention, I'm not overly happy with Schools being open in B.C., and have removed my self from the call list as a casual custodian; till I get the needle in my arm. Expecting a big jump in numbers today, hoping not though. Edited January 4, 2021 by gurn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
