More bad news for the AstraZeneca vaccine, as it appeared to trigger an antibody that activated platelets, leading to serious and sometimes fatal clotting. The reaction is extremely rare (~1 in 100,000 in the UK & EU), but significant due to the potentially devastating consequences. Researchers are trying to identify a predisposing condition that might help identify people who might have this reaction.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/09/health/vaccine-blood-clots-astra-zeneca.htmlIf they can't figure out a way to prevent or limit these reactions, it could be a huge blow to worldwide vaccination efforts.
Russian and Chinese vaccines are probably going to end up vaccinating most of the worlds population - and give them a PR win in the process even if they aren’t as effective.
Agreed. They’re just going for bulk. And that’s honestly probably the right move if you’re peddling influence. If you had any doubt of the decline of American influence worldwide, look at that and the hoarding of vaccines domestically.
Remember that the leadership of China and Russia doesn’t have to deal with the negative political consequences of sending vaccine abroad.
we already have enough people afraid to get the vaccine...i trust china and russia with a vaccine like hunter in charge of the parmesan cheese
I don’t think anyone is arguing for the use of the Russian or Chinese vaccines here in the US. They are just saying that they will probably be used in the majority of the rest of the world. And I think they’re right.
exhibit A-"Remember that the leadership of China and Russia doesn’t have to deal with the negative political consequences of sending vaccine abroad." this is my referenceso everywhere else but us? i can already hear the adjectives flying...come on GOOOO. just think if this virus were to come out of a lab in US. there needs to be consequences for this global catastrophe. hey, let's start with calling them out on their gross human rights, concentration camps among many other issues and start divesting until they start paying for all the mayhem they have caused. if we put out a movie censoring out the references to a person being gay...well, to say we would get our a$$'s handed to us is putting it kindly. the ccp is beyond evil except institutions such as NBA, apple and micorsoft and people like bill gates, hunter biden...well you get the picture...i think. now let's talk about reparations
The "greatest country on earth" should be freely giving this vaccine out to the entire world.
What the f*ck are you even saying here? It's like someone dumped a bunch of incoherent talking points in your head and you vomited it out on your keyboard.Here is what I am saying. China and Russia are using their vaccines as an opportunity to further their worldwide diplomatic goals even though the vaccination rates in their respective countries remain relatively low. They can do this because they do not fear the internal political fallout of shipping vaccines abroad.The US and Western Europe have engaged in a me-first approach. Politically, exporting vaccines to other countries would be seen as a huge negative. And IMO that's fine. For now. But eventually we should be in a position to export those vaccines, and we should do so because it will end the pandemic, but it is the right thing to do.
I’ve been pretty loose for the past year (#NoGBWTIITA) and haven’t really worried about being in big, close groups.. but, went out last night for the first time since coming out of quarantine after being infected with Covid-19... bowling alley/bar...tons of people... and felt a bit relieved that I already have had Covid-19. Twins game tomorrow, TWolves/Nets Monday. I’m ready to book a flight to Charleston!!
You did not say anything close to that in your initial statement. But thank you for clarifying. Either you are so purposely simplistically minded or Kumba ya is still ringing in your ears. You continually minimize any opinion but your own of course. My points are not talking points nor are they from fox or newsmax or whatever source I use that you don’t agree with So you are just fine with ccp getting away with murder?
Agree. But I don't mind, and completely understand, how we have kept it internal for the first few months. As more vaccine is produced I would hope we start to export it abroad. Oh and we have to get over ourselves and vaccinate those who are undocumented, in prison, etc.
I agree with this. This isn't helping.https://twitter.com/dylanlscott/status/1381238747908485127
2. Getting away with murder...how? Are we talking Uyghurs? Need more clarity.
Should we be exporting vaccines before we ourselves reach the immunity needed?
