[redmanjp]

so only 2736 1st doses done today?
and 79 2nd doses?

when we finishing this xmas 2022?

we were at 15000 per day, then drop to 7000 ok, but today - not even ah 3000 and that's with all health centres and some mass vax sites plus private hospitals all having vaccines?

[pugboy]

it’s expected, there is usually an initial rush and then plateau of demand for jabs
looks like are heading into that leveling off

Did not think there would be so much anti vaxxers in Trinidad . Like we have more percentage wise than most countries

apart from the antivaxxers most trinis are lackadaisical

i asked a housekeeper if she planned to
she said yes but waiting to go with a friend was her response

Slim,

Thanks for the update.

[PariaMan]

I genuinely hope more people vaccinate before Delta establish here because the death and hospitalization will be very high

I see the UNC shadow health minister saying the same thing in the TV6 news

[The_Honourable]

There are many trinis who are not anti-vaxx but anti-sinopharm. They are waiting for pfizer, moderna or J&J but Delta reaching first.

[PariaMan]

Hopefully god still retains his Trini citizenship and ease up on the antivaxers when delta hit

Hope he doh judge we for refusing his vaccine

God is a Trini is normally used for hurricanes bro
Not sure about other things

^^LOL.

My son was just telling me that his best friend who lives in the USA and is FULLY VACCINATED with Moderna, went to a party Saturday night. The host, who is also fully vaccinated, had the sniffles and did not tell anyone.

Monday morning my son's friend woke up with sniffles and a headache.

He has gone this morning to check for Delta Covid!

Could be regular flu but interested in update

Results came back negative for Covid.

You had more chance of getting hit by lightning during the flood storm in POS today than dying from a blood clot from AZ (or heart inflammation from Pfizer for that matter). Anyone waiting for "a better vaccine" is either brain dead or continually moving the goalposts so they never have to actually take a vaccine.

[Dohplaydat]

Also nothing stopping them from taking Sinopharm now and then getting Pfizer or another one later on or in 2022, it's not like MoH have a database checking storing your records.

[pugboy]

exactly, everytime you drive down the highway you likely see a car accident in rain
just imagine that could have been you
consider how often that happens......

You all making inappropriate comparisons.

I don't have an issue with anyone's stance on taking the vaccine or not taking the vaccine but be logical in your arguement. AIDS, HIV and car accidents comparisons not applicable.

[pugboy]

why not ?
it’s all percentages we dealing with and personal injury/side effects
also outside factors
nobody can predict if another car will cross the median and hit you just like you can’t predict if your body will react differently to somebody else’s

[PariaMan]

Odds are odds regardless. This whole vaccination is simply based on odds.

The less risky option is the way to go

You can't control external factors but you can control what goes into your body.

Here's an example why the comparison is inappropriate. Lots of persons get into car accidents and survive. Therefore I recommend you getting into a car accident.

Doesn't make sense.

If odds are odds then why is the NLCB so profitable?

Because dotish, greedy people have nothing better to do with their monies.

This is where the brain dead part comes in. You're seriously arguing against statistical analysis. Let that sink in before you reply.

Yes you choose to put the vaccine in your body. The same as you choose to run through the rain to your car during a lightning storm. The same as you choose to get in your car and drive down to the grocery. Both of these activities have a statistical chance of death, yet you chose to accept the risk because you assessed the statistical chance of a negative outcome and determined the risk low enough compared to how necessary the activity was.

Now tell me, if the statistical chance of death as a result of taking any vaccine on the market today is magnitudes lower than running to your car through a lightning storm or driving that same car to the grocery, how is it not brain dead to ignore the statistical analysis and get the vaccine, any vaccine, ASAP?

An inappropriate comparison is not statistical analysis.

Lotto is a tax on the poor.

They are not selling you a lottery ticket. What they are selling you is the few days of wishful dreams you will have if you win the money.

I agree with this but that is a different topic.

Guys

Viruses attack your body at the cellular level. This is not about how fit or strong you are because we don't necessarily know what is taking place inside our body at this level. Every body is unique and different so a virus interacts with each body in a unique way.

So take the necessary precautions and if possible get a vaccine to boost ya protection levels. The end is nowhere near for this thing and you also want to avoid getting covid multiple times which is seeming like a possibility with the additional variants. So try and delay getting covid for as long as possible as well.

[PariaMan]

If there was a vaccine for stupid there would be no anti vaxxers
