I know I know but still... even after so many years I can't believe that we humans are so self-destructive. How will those corporations spend their money if the world cease to exist?

The chances of that happening are very slim, so they're going to keep betting in their favor.

They won't even notice when it happens. They are too selfish and ignorant to accept anything aside from their own vision of the world.

This seems like a big story but the WHO already told us that the theory that the virus was a result of a lab accident did not warrant future study so obviously this must be made up.
And I'm not stating that it did come from a lab but the way they were so eager to dismiss it entirely is suspicious.

For UKers, copy this link and forward it to anyone over 40 that you may know. My sister is in her late 40s and was able to book an appointment, her other half is just over 50 and got his booked too. It'll likely work for those under 40 in a few weeks.

Over half of those hospitalized in the US fell in the obese category.

This should be a wake up call to the "healthy at all sizes" crowd.
CDC study finds about 78% of people hospitalized for Covid were overweight or obese
An overwhelming majority of people who have been hospitalized, needed a ventilator or died from Covid-19 have been overweight or obese, the CDC said.

Europe was twiddling its thumbs when the UK had already started fabrication for example. They were late in securing their vaccines. Very late
And if we continue with the UK as a reference, they have not stopped. Since January they have started fabrication of the novavax vaccine which should get the green light in May, and a French vaccine which should be ready in September.
I am in France, and I have not heard one word of the valnera (I think that is its name) french vaccine.
Europe needs to shut the fuck up, and start investing in new fabrication plants and start making bets on future vaccines.

Covid-19: UK rejects 'false' vaccine export ban claim by EU
An EU diplomat is summoned to the Foreign Office following comments by the bloc's top official.

Looks like the EU are still pushing misinformation about the UK and it's vaccines.
It's really not a good look.

Doesn’t seem like the biggest risk factor when you consider that 42 percent of the USA is obese and 71 percent is overweight on last count in 2018.Over half of those hospitalized in the US fell in the obese category.

71% Jesus Christ... I mean I live here sooo its not exactly shocking but goddamn I didn't think it'd be that high. A lot of people have a pension for laziness and an aversion to working out.

Fair enough, fair enough.
How about this statistic, then?
90% (2.2 million of 2.5 million) of the global deaths attributed to COVID-19 come from countries where at least 50% of adults are overweight.
Regardless of all other factors, there is no example--not a single one--of a country where people are generally not overweight or obese having high COVID-19 death rates.
Obesity a driving factor in COVID-19 deaths, global report finds
The majority of global COVID-19 deaths have been in countries where many people are obese, with coronavirus fatality rates 10 times higher in nations where at least 50% of adults are overweight, a global study found on Thursday.

I'd prefer JnJ just to be done in one shot but I guess I'm getting the Pfizer vaccine on Tuesday.

Worth the journey and time out of your day.
I am planning on returning to the UK to get a jab in may. If I wait for this fucking useless french government, we won’t get vaccinated until next year. My partner who is considered at risk is not even up for consideration.

Of course the Union-owned CA media is trying to spin this as a negative for Florida and a positive for Newsom. But people with a brain will see it differently:

Despite California and Florida governors’ drastically different approaches, the states saw almost identical outcomes in COVID-19 case rates
Nearly a year after California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the nation’s first statewide shutdown because of the coronavirus, masks remain mandated, indoor dining and other activities are significantl…

I get my 2nd dose in a couple weeks. Wish there was data on people who are immune compromised, they weren't included in the studies/trials. Not sure if the vaccine will work as well for me or not yet because there's no data.

So after first stating covid kills only 0,01% of the people who get it it's now the fault of all those extra people dying for not living healthy according to Bhattacharya.
His Fauci feud would be funny if it did not involve hundreds of thousands dying.

Joined Team Oxford-Astrazenica this morning. First jab. Feeling fine, will report back here with any side effects.
The best thing I noted was that those going into the vaccination centre were from the same age group as I (40s) so it really does look like they're blasting through the adult demographics in my area. And that's before the supply surge due.

My brother in law who is in his 40s is getting his first shot next Friday at boots! So I think that it is safe to assume that he will be getting the AZ vaccine

Still almost a month to go until shops and gyms open, considering how low the deaths & cases are, it surprises me that they dont bring it forward to the start of Easter to give businesses that bank holiday weekend for trading. Vaccinations are over 21m now, so in another 2 weeks will probably be over 25m, that's getting close to half of the entire population.

Another riveting chapter in the saga of claiming that COVID-19 policies are "following the science" rather than being completely arbitrary and based on wild guesses.

If the blood clot numbers are inline with what you would encounter anyway statistically within the general population then yes.

I'll take the MHRA's word for it
[Withdrawn] MHRA response to Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic authorities’ action to temporarily suspend the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine
This is a precautionary measure by the Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic authorities. It has not been confirmed that the report of a blood clot was caused by the AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine. People should still go and get their COVID-19 vaccine when asked to do so.

Early data shows the vaccines are poor for the South African variant. Might need additional shots down the road for that variant.
