Edit: How many stories do anti-vaxxers need to read recently of other anti-vaxxers that are begging to get the vaccine on their death bed after it's too late?
They think those stories are fake. They won't learn until they get put on that vent. And thats the only way they will ever learn. And even then some don't think they have it. Theres no saving them. And in return they fukking us.

I suspect majority of "if vaccine could protect my family from covid-19" group that said yes are just anti-vaxxers that don't to be labeled as such.

It will be interesting to see how much the full FDA approval moves the needle or if they'll just find another excuse.
My mom's a nurse and I just spoke with her, and she thinks the biggest thing that will move the needle is them losing loved ones and then deciding maybe the vaccine is a good idea.

fukkin' dummies.

It's not just that though.

The Delta Variant came from India. India had that huge wave of infections and death like two months ago and the variant traveled all over. There just isn't enough vaccine worldwide right now especially the mRNA. The pharma companies will fight to the literal death to not let the IP patents go worldwide so these mRNA vaccines can be mass produced quickly and end the pandemic once and for all.

We had a very small window to get this rolling if the world was going to limit COVID down.

But profits will always remain king :snoop:

They gonna body over 200 million people because of greed :dwillhuh:

Britain to offer vaccine booster shots for 32 million next month: report

Britain will offer COVID-19 booster vaccines to 32 million Britons starting early next month with up to 2000 pharmacies set to deliver the programme amid fears that the efficacy of the vaccines may begin to decline, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.

The campaign could start as soon as September 6, which would see the rollout completed by early December if it goes to plan, the report added.

Ministers are planning to deliver an average of almost 2.5 million third doses a week starting in the first week of September.

Pharmacies will be at the forefront of the vaccine programme so that doctors and NHS staff can focus on the growing backlog of patients awaiting other treatments, the newspaper said.


A total of 46.81 million people had received a first dose of a vaccine against coronavirus by July 30 and 38.13 million people had received a second dose.

Starting a few days ago, Israel became the first country to offer a third dose of a Western vaccine to its citizens on a wide scale. It said it would offer a third booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine to over-60s in an effort to keep the delta variant at bay.

Older people were among the first to receive the jab and a study by the Hebrew University found that the vaccine efficacy rate has fallen from more than 90 per cent to 80 per cent.

Sharon Alroy-Preis, the nation’s Director of Public Health Services said that infections for people vaccinated in January are double those vaccinated in March, an apparent decrease in effectiveness over time. She said infections were particularly problematic for people 60 and older.


“It’s not just the fact that we’re seeing more disease, but they’re getting to severe and critical conditions,” she said on CBS’s Face the Nation.

Israel followed Hungary and Turkey in offering a third jab to citizens.

The Japanese government is also considering urging those fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to receive a third booster shot next year as concerns emerge over variants that are more contagious than previous ones, Nikkei reported without attribution. The minister in charge of vaccine rollout, Taro Kono, said in a television program aired Sunday that a third dose would be recommended next year.

Separately, Pfizer and Moderna raised the prices of their COVID-19 vaccines in their latest European Union supply contracts, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

The new price for the Pfizer shot was €19.50 euros ($31.54) against €15.50 previously, the newspaper said, citing portions of the contracts seen.


The price of a Moderna vaccine was $US25.50 a dose, the contracts show, up from about €19 in the first procurement deal but lower than the previously agreed $US28.50 because the order had grown, the report said, citing one official close to the matter.


Pfizer declined to comment on the contract with the European Commission, citing confidentiality. “Beyond the redacted contract(s) published by the EC, the content remains confidential and so we won’t be commenting,” the company said.

Moderna was not immediately available for comment to Reuters.

The European Commission said on Tuesday that the EU is on course to hit a target of fully vaccinating at least 70 per cent of the adult population by the end of the summer.

In May, the EU said it expects to have received more than a billion doses of vaccines by the end of September from four drugmakers.
