So right … everyone has their point of view. It all gets pissy as soon as someone doesn’t agree with someone else.

So it’s pointless.

Youngman, if something gets exhausting to read, then what do you think is the logical and mentally healthy thing to do?

Everyone here IS entitled to their own opinion even though IF it means their post, that is clearly irrelevant to you, may be of importance to others.

My post is factual, and it appears that you have a hard time understanding reality.

Apologies in advance if i burnt you out again by reading this post.

Btw remember that this forum is entitled “Ole Talk”…..maybe it just does not meet your expectations.

Thousands get fake COVID vaccine shots in alleged scam in India

By Arshad R. Zargar

July 5, 2021 / 11:50 AM / CBS News

New Delhi — Indian authorities have arrested 14 people and cordoned off a private hospital as they investigate an alleged vaccination scam that purportedly saw thousands of people given shots of saline solution when they thought they were getting coronavirus vaccines. At least 2,000 people in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai and 500 in the eastern state of Bengal may have fallen prey to the elaborate scam, authorities said.

The alleged scammers are suspected of holding at least 12 private mass-vaccination sessions in May and June. They did not keep regional health authorities in the loop as they launched the vaccination camps. They're accused of filling used, empty bottles of real vaccine with the saline solution and administering the shots to anyone who showed up at the events.

Police first registered a case last month after some people who had been given the shots grew suspicious when they didn't see their vaccination certificates appear on the government's online portal, CoWin. Their suspicion grew when none of the people who attended the vaccination events reported any of the usual post-vaccination side effects. 

The police have arrested 14 people, including some doctors, on fraud, criminal conspiracy and other charges. They also sealed the Shivam Hospital in Mumbai and arrested its owners, Doctor Shivraj Pataria and his wife Neeta Pataria, for their alleged role in the vaccination scam. 

The hospital was an authorized COVID-19 vaccination center, but it didn't have permission to hold the mass-vaccination camps, which were staged in residential areas. They're suspected of refilling used vaccine vials from the hospital, which should have been destroyed.

"Many [of the] accused have confessed that they used saline water," Vishwas Nangre Patil, Mumbai's joint commissioner of police, told news outlets last week. He explained that more people could be arrested as the investigation was still underway.

Question:

since you cannot get the vaccine if u have covid and you can have covid virus without even knowing it (asymptomatic).... should all the ppl should get tested b4 getting the vaccine?

The vaccine would be rendered useless or have negative effects on you?

This question has been answered many times from respected sources locally and internationally. Don’t rely on tuner

[hover11]

Stupid question Trinidad’s response is to open the borders however being vaccinated does NOT mean immune! They aren’t putting vaccinated people in quarantine upon entry so the ppl without symptoms are all welcomed to bring delta here for the majority of the population which is unvaccinated...hmm what could go wrong

Stupid question Trinidad’s response is to open the boarders however being vaccinated does NOT mean immune! They aren’t putting vaccinated people in quarantine upon entry so the ppl without symptoms are all welcomed to bring delta here for the majority of the population which is unvaccinated...hmm what could go wrong

Open borders and relaxed restrictions is going to be real pressure on the unvaccinated.

[hover11]

Three quarter of the population is unvaccinated atm...we not counting first shots .....fully vaccinated means 2 shots

Stupid question Trinidad’s response is to open the boarders however being vaccinated does NOT mean immune! They aren’t putting vaccinated people in quarantine upon entry so the ppl without symptoms are all welcomed to bring delta here for the majority of the population which is unvaccinated...hmm what could go wrong

Open borders is and lifted restrictions is going to be real pressure on the unvaccinated.

Well what may happen is a LOCKDOWN for unvaccinated persons, everyone will have to move around with their Vaccination cards, and multiple roadblocks nation wide every day... if you are unvaccinated youre to stay in lockdown, and if you have had at least your first shot you can go about your business.
Penalty for being out of lockdown if youre unvaccinated will be a HUGE fine or jail if you cant pay.
Its coming..dont worry...............

MaxP;; You have been consistent from day one in your comments about fighting C-19. I will give you that.

Don't you have a mini-mart or two or three that is considered to be an essential service? That means money is coming into your pockets, right?

If you were one of those who was made unemployed by government decree and was not allowed to work to feed your family for 3-4 months - AND - you got no help from the government in that time - AND - your creditors are on your back for long outstanding bills - AND - the government ministers who made that decree have not lost ONE SINGLE DAY"S PAY in that time - AND - you have a family that you cannot support:

Would you still be mouthing what you wrote below?

Asking for a friend because as someone told me recently - who is in it, knows it.

Just imagine na….

7 deaths like it just means nothing to T&T.

Like yeh ok we expecting and ah lil 5-10 dead today.

These people have families.

And Trinis asses remain happy, unconcerned, desperate for things to “open up” to jackass up, out and about with the Delta variant.

Need 50+ deaths a day and bodies rotting/burning on the side of the road for people to take things seriously.

We have no GET out of this relaxation mode and PREPARE for what may come.

Hello bluefete,

I understand your views.

If you recall, i had to permanently close two of my rum shops from very early in the pandemic. I also had a small construction business which i also mentioned and even that was severed. So we are all feeling the blunt of this….most of us. My Mini Marts are essential yes, but i still have not recovered from my losses.

But i also need you to understand that if Trinis did their part, we would not have been in this position.

Ok fine, Trinis play the ass and we got a lockdown. Why did they STILL jackass up? Did they NOT notice the “sufferation” so many of us are going through? Why didnt they STAY HOME? Why didnt they follow ALL the protocols?

So yes bro, i will still be mouthing that because we are in this position because of the continued irresponsibility of our Trinidadian brothers and sisters.

The vaccine would be rendered useless or have negative effects on you?

You can get vaccinated at any time, whether you have Covid, have had it, or never had it.
Of course IF you know you have it, you should wait until you are medically cleared so as not to unnecessarily infect others.

Max,

You are correct . 899 DEAD . The behavior will NOT change Even today peeps walk around with no masks

T&T Party Peeps did not see the serious impact of COVID - How do you lockdown PRIVATE parties ? - The venues are well hidden etc.


Soon the borders will open - and chances are the Delta strain will enter and it's back to increased deaths , more lockdown, curfew etc.


Tobago - as reported by some - have been lobbying to hold off on the opening of borders - Tobago claims they are NOT ready .

So the local logic is to vaccinate quickly - hence NGO , Private companies , SATT , MATT, private doctors etc. OR postpone the opening etc.


The solution and the money $$$ is there - but implementation seems to be the obstacle .

Some rough news on my end. Pertaining to friends of the family, elderly couple spent two weeks in Couva with the Brazilian variant. Only the father made, his wife died. They got it from the father's sister who also died. Brazilian variant is prominent in the biche, rio claro, plum mitan area!
That same elderly guy has a cousin who has been in couva for more than a month now. Its a case where an entire street(family) is under the gun atm...facepalm
