Pfizer reach on time for who?

The majority of the population take sinopharm. Only 120,000 ppl get AZ. 414,000 get Sinopharm.
This government adamant that they not mixing sinopharm with any mRNA. They too genius after all.
only the handful of AZ ppl getting the Pfizer as booster and the rest throwing away after 3 months. Best the US embassy did throw half that package in the ocean one time and doh waste dey goodwill and time with this government again.

AZ boosters plus perhaps for 5-11 yr olds when WHO give EUL listing?

And of course boosters for everyone who got Pfizer as there 1st 2 shots though that would be a few months away. Hope it doh expire by then.

Unless Govt makes the hard decision to make it mandatory for all Government workers.

China approves trials on using mRNA vaccine as booster shot
The authorities have so far insisted that boosters use the same technology as the initial shots, but the latest trial could widen the options available
Vaccines made using the advanced genetic technique may boost immunity

The Coronavirus Attacks Fat Tissue, Scientists Find
From the start of the pandemic, the coronavirus seemed to target people carrying extra pounds. Patients who were overweight or obese were more likely to develop severe Covid-19 and more likely to die.
Though these patients often have health conditions like diabetes that compound their risk, scientists have become increasingly convinced that their vulnerability has something to do with obesity itself.
Now researchers have found that the coronavirus infects both fat cells and certain immune cells within body fat, prompting a damaging defensive response in the body.
“The bottom line is, ‘Oh my god, indeed, the virus can infect fat cells directly,’” said Dr. Philipp Scherer, a scientist who studies fat cells at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, who was not involved in the research.
“Whatever happens in fat doesn’t stay in fat,” he added. “It affects the neighboring tissues as well.”

Got my booster today @ UTT Munroe road.

They are extremely organized and efficient. It took me longer to drive from Couva to Munroe road than it did to fill out a form and visit the checkpoints/med stations. I was in and out within 15 mins.

Walk with your ID, vax card and a blue/black ballpoint pen.

Melbourne researchers trial use of common blood-thinning drug heparin to combat COVID-19
The spray coats the nose but does not go down into the lungs. The researchers say it is cheap, easy to distribute and is expected to be effective against mutant strains of the virus including the Omicron variant.

"It won't matter if a new variant comes along, this drug will block that protein from infecting the cells," Professor Campbell said.

"I'm very confident that we can demonstrate that it will work, and people will be using this before they go to the shops and before they go to school."

US Army Creates Single Vaccine Against All COVID & SARS Variants, Researchers Say
Within weeks, Walter Reed researchers expect to announce that human trials show success against Omicron—and even future strains.
Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as from previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide.

The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well.

Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview with Defense One. The new vaccine will still need to undergo phase 2 and phase 3 trials.

Unlike existing vaccines, Walter Reed’s SpFN uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 faces for its vaccine, which allows scientists to attach the spikes of multiple coronavirus strains on different faces of the protein.

“It's very exciting to get to this point for our entire team and I think for the entire Army as well,” Modjarrad said.

The vaccine’s human trials took longer than expected, he said, because the lab needed to test the vaccine on subjects who had neither been vaccinated nor previously infected with COVID.

Increasing vaccination rates and the rapid spread of the Delta and Omicron variants made that difficult.

“With Omicron, there's no way really to escape this virus. You're not going to be able to avoid it. So I think pretty soon either the whole world will be vaccinated or have been infected,” Modjarrad said.

The next step is seeing how the new pan-coronavirus vaccine interacts with people who were previously vaccinated or previously sick. Walter Reed is working with a yet-to-be-named industry partner for that wider rollout.

“We need to evaluate it in the real-world setting and try to understand how does the vaccine perform in much larger numbers of individuals who have already been vaccinated with something else initially…or already been sick,” Modjarrad said.

He said nearly all of Walter Reed’s 2,500 staff have had some role in the vaccine’s nearly-two-year development.

“We decided to take a look at the long game rather than just only focusing on the original emergence of SARS, and instead understand that viruses mutate, there will be variants that emerge, future viruses that may emerge in terms of new species. Our platform and approach will equip people to be prepared for that.”

when the WHO overlords say it safe. keep in mind monoclonals available months now in the US but no WHO approval. paxlovid only just get FDA EUA. so up to now there are no treatments to keep u out of hospital in T&T. and they said the solution cant be vaccines alone- so why not approve the treatments?

French President Emmanuel Macron has been accused of using divisive, vulgar language after he used a slang term to say he wanted to make life difficult for unvaccinated people.
"I really want to piss them off, and we'll carry on doing this - to the end," he told Le Parisien newspaper.
Macron got my vote!

Paxlovid is presently only available by prescription to high risk patients who recently got Covid,so you have to test positive, get a prescription, then obtain it, all within 3-4 days I think. Outside of a private clinic, and one set up to handle Covid patients to boot, I don't see that happening here.

u can get results in 20 mins with the rapid test and go to the doctor. even if the only option is a private clinic at least authorize d ting for emergency use so that the doctor can prescribe it. right now its ZERO authorized outpatient treatments and ppl dying almost every hour.

Paxlovid is presently only available by prescription to high risk patients who recently got Covid,so you have to test positive, get a prescription, then obtain it, all within 3-4 days I think. Outside of a private clinic, and one set up to handle Covid patients to boot, I don't see that happening here.


u can get results in 20 mins with the rapid test and go to the doctor. even if the only option is a private clinic at least authorize d ting for emergency use so that the doctor can prescribe it. right now its ZERO authorized outpatient treatments and ppl dying almost every hour.

Those rapid tests are unreliable


Why do say that? I know about 6 people in the past 3 weeks that were identified as Covid positive using those tests- all were confirmed with a PCR test afterwards. They may not be as effective in detection as some other tests if the viral count is low, but this is known. So to say they are unreliable is maybe not thr right term to use.

Maybe not as reliable would be better, but do you really want to take a prescription medication based on a less accurate test?

The false positive rate in rapid tests is quite low, very low in fact. However, the false negative rate is fairly high. In plain English that means if you get a positive reading on a rapid test your are most definitely Covid positive. However, a negative does not necessarily mean you're Covid free, you could have a low viral load or took a poor sample.
