I heard Biden sent them the AZ vaccine, hopefully the rest of the world will pitch in too to help them.
I've been hearing Joe say this for a while now. This is very disappointing to hear. He's basically got the largest audience in podcasting, this is irresponsible as fuck.
I know you're kidding, but seriously, nope. Herd immunity needs about 80% of the population to have caught it. 500 million is nowhere near 80% of India's population (1.37 billion).
This seems like as good a place as any for this story: Private Florida school won't employ vaccinated teachers More at the link I can't believe it. This is a school! What kind of "education" can you get at a place like that? Just when you think that Trump supporters (yes, Trump supporters — from the story: “We did not follow any of the tyrannic measures that were in place. I did not force our kids to wear a mask,” Centner said while attending a “Health and Freedom” rally for a Republican candidate that featured supporters of former President Donald Trump and critics of public health restrictions in Tulsa, Oklahoma.) can't get any stupider, they manage to outdo themselves. "Unvaccinated women have experienced miscarriages just by standing in proximity to vaccinated people." ^1000. Any student who attends a school like that is actually moving backwards on the education scale, and any parents who put their kids in a school like that should be prosecuted for child abuse.
Something needs to be done to cancel or defer vaccine patents so that third world countries are able to produce them and don't have to wait three years while the rich sort themselves out first. This current situation is a disgrace, and apart from anything else is going to lead to additional variants coming into circulation, ones which may be better at evading the immune response.
Rich Western countries should do everything in their power, strictly out of humanitarian concerns, to speed the eridication of Covid on a worldwide level. But even if pure unbridled selfishness (also known as unrestricted capitalism and/or libertarianism) trumps humanitarian concerns, it is imperitive to restrain Covid as much as possible, because of those variants you measure. Otherwise it's going to hit us again and again, as vaccine-resistant strains evolve. And sooner or late, one of those strains might combine the asymptomatic infectiousness of Covid with the mortality rate of MERS (both of them coronaviruses). And if that ever happens, the result will be disaster on an unprecedented scale. Western countries should pour at least as much money and effort into worldwide vaccination efforts as we ever put into wars. (For that matter, we actually could do without most of the wars...) Unfortunately, people are not known for intelligent reasoning that takes long-term effects into account, and that is as true in the West as anywhere else.
Rich western countries should do everything in their power to help poorer countries strictly out of concern for self preservation. The mutations out of India are troubling. I heard in the outhouse they may be vaccine resistant.
"Unvaccinated women have experienced miscarriages just by standing in proximity to vaccinated people." hmmm.....and the science behind this claim is what, exactly?
First, if you are really worried about something like this happening you could wear a fucking mask. Fucking CHUDs. This is just the next step in propaganda. You have to have some reason for the anti-vaxxers to attack other people for getting the vaccine. Me getting the vaccine does not effect anyone, so how do you get those anti-vaxxers to think I am poisoning them? You just make up shit that I am killing other people's babies by getting the vaccine and bingo the CHUDs have a reason to attack vaccination centers like they do abortion clinics. The right is just trying to start some shit that is going to end with me answering the question of how many golf clubs can I ram up and old white dude's ass.
I'm honestly surprised and disappointed that some company in China or India hasn't already started cranking out a bootleg version of any or all of the vaccines. I'm sure the history books will have no trouble pointing out over and over that things ended up so much worse than they had to be because the rich were so hesitant to help the poor, even to benefit themselves in the long run.
They need to bring this sign in with them for every republican Qtard. just giving it a response aside from pure mockery and insult is giving too much credit to the republican party.
Ten days later, that first Moderna shot is the gift that keeps on giving. Specifically, giving me a weird hot arm lump. https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/covid-arm-rash-moderna
I get the shot in a few hours, but I already had a strange dream where I felt like complete crap and could barely move after getting the shot. It is not like it is really on my mind. I think it was more like an excuse my mind had for being lazy in a dream. It does not want to get out of the dream, bnut it also does not want to do any creative dreaming so it sort of makes me a big heavy ooozy mess. I get those dreams every so often.
The same as the science behind "Donald Trump won the election" and "The pandemic will magically go away all by itself after the election".
