Elerond Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 To prevent spreading full vaccination rate should be over 70% of population and even Israel which is closest to reach it, is still couple months away from reaching it. Also as majority of world population is not vaccinated and there is lots of talk about summer tourism, we probably will see multiple new waves all over the world until we reach point where we have seasonal vaccination in global scale to give us some sort of peace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yes, the tail end of the vaccination program will be the most difficult since those are the people who are reluctant to get vaccinated. We may never reach 70% unless there's a strong inducement. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I'm now eligible for the vaccine but no place in 25 miles has had any openings. I want to request that they put each one in a different syringe then tape them all together and then stab me with all of them at once. Seems like a reasonable request. I also have a very "My Secret Identity" type of problem in that I'm afraid that the needle will break on contact with my skin.

Gfted1 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Ive got to eventually start looking into that. I think were still going to try to take a vacation and stimulate Mexico but we dont want to go until we get vaccinated. My state opens up a free-for-all (everyone 16 and up is eligible) on 16 Apr.

I popped a couple ibuprofen this morning and the headache is mostly gone, plus I got some of my energy back. I think I lucked out getting the 1-shot Janssen vaccine. I didn't know that's the one they would give me, that's just what they had. My dad got a 2-shot vaccine (I don't know what kind or if there are multiple 2-shot variants), he was mostly fine after the first shot and had a really sore arm after the second for a couple days. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I got my first dose yesterday (Moderna) and my wife gets her first dose today. It was a total nothingburger. Theyre giving out doses around here like unregistered handguns and it was ridiculously easy to get an appointment.

Gorth Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I never had any warm and fuzzy feelings regarding the AZ vaccine (it was always the worst performer in the numbers game). While it has been brewing for a while, it's now official. Australia's love affair with the AZ vaccine is over https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-56684833 Even though it seems to mostly kill young women with the blood clotting, there is currently no "urgent" need to vaccinate people in Australia, so it has now been prohibited for all under 50's It's very late in the game, but it now looks like the alternatives are more attractive. Of course, our incompetent prime minister had put like 11 out of 12 eggs in one basket and gambled entirely on the AZ vaccine... ah well, maybe Pfizer/BioNTech has a few spare dozes somewhere. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Zoraptor Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 AZ is far from the worst performer. J&J and all the Chinese ones are worse, probably the Indian one too. The only ones better are Sputnik, Moderna and Pfizer, and the latter are also 20x more expensive. A local AZ vaccine is ~2USD for a course, Pfizer brough as a priority is 56USD. Which is why I'm deeply suspicious of us getting Pfizer here for cheap when we also have a review of our drug buying agency going on simultaneously, no way we're getting a good deal without any 'conditions'. Australia went all in for AZ because it can be manufactured locally so is cheap and not subject to being blocked by the EU or US. So could Sputnik or one of the Chinese ones too, but I'd presume if they were going to still do local manufacturing away from AZ they'd license J&J for geopolitical reasons.

Zoraptor Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Yep*, what the US is doing blocking AZ exports I have no idea. Either approve it and use it yourself or allow the exports, but instead there are literally millions of doses sitting around in storage. That's even worse since vaccines have a fairly short shelf life even when stored correctly. *EU has definitely put pressure on Pfizer/ Biontech not to export though, but short of blocking them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
