COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker (News and Updates) (Poll added)

[gastly369]

Please share the mass amount of data..
I would like to know if I'm at risk
Thanks.

So, old and comorbid could dead, because they were close to their life expectancy anyways? Anti vax and anti ethics too! What's next for the Anti Vax League?

No one on here ever said that old people should not get vaccinated. We are big proponents for people in the at risk categories for serious outcomes from covid getting vaccinated. Not children, not people with natural immunity and no one who does not want it on their own volition.

Clear up for me your argument why old people should take a vaccine but no one else should. While you're working that out, how about arguing for what is an acceptable number of dead? What is an acceptable economic cost? Health care burden? Why not just let it burn through the population? What stop flooding? Why offer free education?

I can keep this up for a while...

The vaccines are meant to prevent serious illness and death. The vast majority of people not at risk for either. We have massive amounts of data to show who is at risk. Mass vaccination while infections are raging will pull the virus under pressure to mutate. While politicians and others groups use the vaccine to divide and control.

"Currently, people ages 18 to 49 make up the largest demographic of hospitalized people due to COVID-19, according to the CDC."

"Experts say that initially a person’s age and underlying conditions were the biggest factors for if a person would need to be hospitalized, but now it’s vaccine status."

"Risk factor for hospitalization is now vaccine status" (not age or comorbidites)

just Google "delta variant hospitalisation age groups"

You are wrong.

The purpose of the mass vaccination was to reduce the basic reproductive number of the virus (R0) to prevent widespread infection of the population.

The vaccines were limited - the group at highest risk of death were vaccinated first.

Viruses constantly mutate. Elimination of infection hosts is the only viable control.

Although mutation selection as a consequence of vaccine is an issue, it is much more complex than you frame it here. Let just focus on the basics for now.

------

"We show that in most countries, COVID-19 spreads very rapidly, leading to high estimated R0 values and consequently high herd immunity thresholds in these countries. We further explore how vaccination schedules depend on the value of R0 and the distribution of the duration of vaccine-induced immunity in a population, in the context of the durations of protective immunity reported for SARS-CoV-2 (Long et al., 2020, Seow et al., 2020), as well as other coronaviruses such as HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1 (Callow et al., 1990, Kissler et al., 2020), SARS-CoV-1 (Cao et al., 2007, Chan et al., 2013, Le Bert et al., 2020) and MERS-CoV (Payne et al., 2016)."

This country has to be under a spell.The 17 year old who was rushed to the ER due to anaphylaxis after taking the Pfizer vaccine released a video. Her body was shutting down after taking the shot yet she not discouraging anyone from taking it . Then stating she still taking the second one. Well what don't kill will make you stronger I guess.

How about a new vaccine card? How about a video of you displaying your vaccination card? Use a clear, plastic document sleeve? Or better yet, a government sanctioned app sometime in the future after they get LINX machines working in all the government cashier's booths?

Easy there , we just got linx transactions in licensing office , now you talking about app for vax cards maybe next 5 years

THE Banking, Insurance and General Workers Union (BIGWU) has warned Republic Bank (RBL) that unless it withdraws its proposed policy to bring workers back to their offices on September 6, it will initiate legal action against the bank.

One of the aspects of this policy which BIGWU is opposed to is a requirement for unvaccinated workers to pay in full or in part for PCR tests required by the bank for them to return to work.

In a statement issued on Friday, BIGWU second vice-president Jason Brown said if the bank does not respond favourably by 10 am on August 23, the union will instruct its lawyers to begin action to "restrain the bank from its unilateral imposition of this policy."

While the union does not want to pursue legal action against RBL, Brown said, it "will do so if it is compelled to do so by the bank’s intransigence."

Referring to proposals previously mentioned by the bank to ensure its staff are protected against covid19 when they return to their offices, Brown said BIGWU continues to object to "the requirement that workers pay (in part or in full) for the PCR tests required by the bank, the quantum of the ex-gratia payment offered by the bank to vaccinated workers,the threat or use of disciplinary action against workers to influence compliance with the bank’s policy and wider issues involving the unilateral implementation of new terms and conditions that the policy promotes, inclusive but not limited to fundamental breaches of contract."

Putting that up takes away the sensationalism, and allows further push of the unscientific anti vax stance, favoured by hover11 and the AVL.

Age is due to many factors..younger ppl move much more around. Older ppl tend to trust vaccines more ? Could be anything like those points etc etc...

Test case indeed ... I dont have an issue with employers wanting their employees to be vaccinated ... or even testing their employees regularly for COVID19 but the employer should stand the cost ... vaccinated persons can infact spread this as well so all employees should be tested as well ... also why a PCR test if you go to an emergency room at a private hospital it is a rapid testing you are getting ... glad to see BIGWU has found their testicles and look forward to see what happens with this in the courts let us see how the judiciary treats with this.

The court will favor the union because they will use the same logic that vaccinated can contract and spread the virus so applying it to one portion of the employees is nonsensical

i think it will depend on the judge and their personal/national view

it may not boil down to technicality of “vaxxed can still transmit”
there are many other factors which the antivaxxers don’t consider

Exactly, this isn't really anything wrong with the vaccine itself. This is just more than likely an allergic reaction she personally had to something in it. That can happen with ANY drug or any food for that matter.

Projected vaccine coverage near 50% by December.

Deyalsingh: Johnson & Johnson vaccines for coastal, inland villages

The first tranche of the single dose Johnson & Johnson covid19 vaccine, Janssen, will go out to remote coastal and inland villages in Trinidad and Tobago.

On Saturday, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh announced that the 108,000 vaccines that arrived in TT on August 20 would go out to these communities via mobile units.

“There are many areas and pockets of communities in the coastal areas, even inland, that want to be vaccinated but don’t have the wherewithal to be transported twice to a mass vaccination site or even go to a health centre.”

The areas will include Blanchisseuse, Las Cuevas, Matelot, and Sans Souci on the north coast, Kernaham and Guayaguayare on the east coast, Moruga, Cedros, and Los Iros in the south, and Parlatuvier, Charlotteville, and Speyside in Tobago.

He added that inland communities would include Bangladesh in St Joseph, the Marabella Train Line, and Valencia. Although the minister identified these latter areas as "inland", they are located in fairly populous districts with access to health facilities such as the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, the Marabella and Valencia health centres.

“The community will be primed a couple days before via their MPs, their councillors, the RHAs (regional health authorities), mic-ing, messaging, so on, giving you the information.

“And then when these mobile units come in, you have an opportunity to liaise one-on-one with health care professionals, to answer your questions about vaccines in general, but in specific terms, to the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. And hopefully we encourage you in these areas to be vaccinated.”

He said the ministry did not have the exact number of people in the various communities and so was not sure if the 108,000 would be enough or too much. But said he would love it if all the vaccines were to finish in one week.

With respect to the Pfizer vaccine roll out in children 12-18, Deyalsingh said 10,759 got their first shot between Wednesday and Friday at 19 vaccination sites throughout Trinidad. The sites included four in the north, five in the east, three in central, seven in south, and he hoped to have another in Debe next week.

In addition, as of Friday, 479,626 people received the first shot of a World Health Organization-approved vaccine and 364,599 had a second dose.
