When freedom is more important than lives. Pity the healthcare workers in US.

Florida's vaccination rate is 48.5%.

In this case, though, vaccination rates are low because of the freedom of choice over their own lives. I think they report that something like 95% of people arriving in hospital are not vaccinated and the bulk of them, by choice.

There was a report shown on MSNBC just yesterday morning, a guy in hospital recovering from COVID was asked if he would now take the vaccine. His answer, "No, it's a government agenda to vaccinate everybody."

That's the word he used, "agenda" and I'm like, yeah, that's exactly what it is........it's the government's agenda to save lives. I believe he thought the word was kinda trying to tell everybody it's a conspiracy.

Food for thoughts.

KTV & JFP clusters , two clusters differ genetically from the Delta variant. Apparently Delta variant is more deadly.

Authorities were so worried about KTV & JFP clusters but see to be not so with the Delta variant as the latter did not trigger any lockdown.

This is not a political issue but trying to make sense from an epidemiological perspective.

 

My job hangs in the balance that I sometimes become schizophrenic. On one hand I try to provide the best no nonsense report through my editorial team but on the other hand I have to think of my job too. I can't afford to switch job now other don't know where to hide my face. As you know I got quite a broad face.

I saw the same video of that guy in hospital. That's the problem with people fed with disinformation, they will carry their belief to their graves.

Jurong fishery is delta variant. That's why the vaccinated from this clusters are just as likely to be infected and likely to be a spreader.

SINGAPORE - Two of Singapore's largest active Covid-19 clusters - at KTVs and the Jurong Fishery Port - are linked, and studies are ongoing to establish their relationship, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Monday (July 19).

In a Facebook post, Mr Ong said that the two clusters differ genetically from the Delta variant that infected people in the clusters at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Changi Airport, but are closer to what has been detected in imported cases from Indonesia.

They are all still Delta, just a slightly different Delta.

The Delta found at TTSH and Changi is from origin, the Delta from KTV and JFP is from across the water - genetically different, but same.

Indo's Delta vs India Delta..  All are delta as evidendt by their fast and wide spread to even vaccinated people.

Speaking at a press conference by the COVID-19 multi-ministry task force, Assoc Prof Mak said phylogenetic testing done on the first group of cases detected at Jurong Fishery Port had found that the Delta variant is the cause of the COVID-19 cases in this cluster.

“The identified variant of concern has features that are similar to what we have seen in other cases that we have picked up in imported cases from Indonesia,” he added.

Which COVID-19 vaccine is better for the delta variant?

What we know about Pfizer

• An analysis from Public Health England found the Pfizer vaccine was 88% effective against symptomatic cases of delta and 96% effective against hospitalizations from delta.
• A study in the journal Nature said a single shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech or AstraZeneca vaccines didn’t provide really any protection. However, the study said people with two doses had 95% effectiveness against the delta variant.
• Meanwhile, a study in Israel — the highest vaccinated country in the world — found that the Pfizer vaccine did not offer high protection against delta.

What we know about Moderna

• One lab study of the Moderna vaccine suggested the vaccine could protect against the delta variant but wasn’t as protective as it was against the alpha variant. That said, the same study found the vaccine could protect better against the delta compared to the beta version of the virus (which was originally discovered in the United Kingdom).

COVID-19 cases are rising in the United States, and the delta variant has been identified in all 50 states.

The delta variant is now responsible for more than 83 percent of new coronavirus infections in the United States, and there’s been an increase in hospitalizations.

Data so far suggests efficacy rates of more than 67 percent for the J&J vaccine, 72 to 95 percent for the Moderna vaccine, and 64 to 96 percent for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

Even though vaccines offer different ranges of protection, experts say getting fully vaccinated is crucial.

Only for those at risk. Not all children

They include children with brain, heart or lung problems, severe immunosuppression, sickle cell anaemia, pulmonary hypertension and severe obesity.

Don't need to mention....... he's 16yrs so can only get one type.

Our MTF must have some sort of insider news thus publishing such news on main stream media.

"The vaccination of children below 12 years old should also start some time early next year, after the safety and efficacy aspects have been studied"...

ST (30 Aug 2021) New Zealand reports first death linked to Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine

A review by an independent Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring board considered that the woman's death was due to myocarditis. "This is the first case in New Zealand where a death in the days following vaccination has been linked to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine," the health ministry said.

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/australianz/new-zealand-reports-death-of-woman-after-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine

sure have death one. no vaccine is 100% safe afaik. just that this news is really the first one or is it because they just cant ignore the known evidence this time.

there is an acceptable loss and then there is unknown unknowns. when the unknowns become known, it becomes possible to mitigate or not. and then it is acceptable loss.

 

[Jamesc]

1 million people die of Covid is ok but 1 person die of the vaccine is not acceptable?

Where is the logic in that?
