Send a vaccine that cures covid 19 or (with certainty) stops you either getting, spreading and/or dying from covid 19 then you will see people take up the vaccine.
FDA approved just means that the benefits currently outweigh the risks. When there is only a slightly less likelihood of becoming ill or dying from covid from an unvaccinated person then the level of uncertainty leads to hesitation and resistance.
Why not rely on boosting immune systems, ensuring we are consuming plenty of nutrients and vitamins, because the people who offer them do not do so from a white coat. Please bear in mind that 70% of pharmaceuticals originate from natural products. If Covid is indeed on the island and we are not mass testing, then best believe the 267 that are confirmed is more likely 2670 in the community and if only one person has died thus far then most people will in fact survive covid.
This year I’m not hearing anyone die of or anyone concerned about the masses that die of the flu each year.
Anti vaxxers are still pushing the same lies & misinformation, they are just trying to sound more intelligent & scientific, which they are not.
Covid 19 is like the seasonal flu one we must learn to live with for years to come.
There may well already be as many as 1000 people infected. The confirmed cases only tell us those found. If testing takes a day to get results & people are sampled when feeling ill after incubating the virus we’re already 3-5 days behind the curve. Yet only 289 people got themselves first vaccinated between 28th and 30th August. Please get the shot before it’s too late.
Name me ONE country in the world that has succeeded using vaccination as its “core solution” strategy. Of course there are those that have done remarkably well. But none have eliminated the virus by sole dependance on the vaccines. Not even Israel with 78% of its population fully vaccinated. Instead that country like so many others is seeing a resurgence of the virus in even those vaccinated with the Pfyzer vaccine (our “new” solution).
It should be (slowly?) dawning on us that we may have to accept that we must learn to live with the virus for a very long time (like cancer or AIDS).
So what should we be doing to live with it more effectively? The vaccine zealots are adamant that mass vaccination is the solution. So our Governments and our citizens have given ZERO thought to what we should be doing when that obsessiveness fails.
Time to both start thinking and preparing a plan to live with it.
This is a most sobering thoughtful comment.
I am one who rushed the vac. and not I am sufferings daily wishing I have not taken it.
I then got COVID and it was just like regular cold.
My family member, who did not take vax has similar experience, to me…
Fact is we all over the COVID experience but I am having some much other complication that surfaced days after the Vax.
In the Zionist, apartheid, racist state of Israel only the Jews are being vaccinated, the Palestinians do not get given the option. Admittedly the Zionists offered some vaccine to the Palestinians a few weeks ago but it was just coming up to it’s use by date so the offer was declined.
Still cases doubling every few days, just as science predicts when the virus takes hold in a largely unvaccinated population. It could be 1,000 cases by next week. Take this as a warning & please get vaccinated.
I don’t agree with some of the stats being published which in my opinion is a scar tactic by the government in order to frighten the people to take the vaccine which is not the right way .
WHO is not happy with the slow pace of the citizens of Grenada with the uptake with the vaccine and they are putting pressure on the government to improve.
Grenada is very small and we know that our general hospital is NOT able to handle one seriously ill person let alone 6 or more so when you see stats claiming numbers being hospitalized then you know those figures are fabricated.
Reasonable thought.
Have you seen any of the report about how the cases are being treated at the hospital.
I haven’t seen it either.
There are 7,000 people in hospital in the UK with complications from the Delta variant. I don’t know what treatment they are getting, so what sort of stupid question is this? Get togged up, go & visit & read their medical charts.
As i understand it from earlier press conferennces this outbreak started with fully “vaxed’ tourists when the 7 day quarantine was reduced to 2. Stop blaming jabbed people. What the eorld needs now is compassion and care.
To the people of Grenada your cases are going up your death rate will go up because the people who has not been vaccinated will die you are the to blame for the virus in your country and people I will die will be infected all because some stupid arrogance uneducated people who did jab jab you are the ones to blame no one else so get the vaccine save lives grow up act your age and stop being pathetic do you get the message do you understand English do you understand god gave you brains use it understand the virus is a killer it is not a joke do you get the message get it into your thick skulls understand and this virus will kill you if you are not vaccinated if you are vaccinated you will have a very very good chance to live if you do not take the vaccine and you get the virus or you die the world will have no sympathy for you because the world has sent you two vaccines so take the vaccine save lives and your loved ones and the people at work get vaccinated listen to your governments save lives wear your mask at all time sanitise keep your distance and he will live god gave you brains use them do you get the message do you understand English do you understand
I hear you, Ja . But you offer no identification or medical qualifications that would persuade me to take your advice – insults just won’t do it for me because there are already enough of your ignorant, wannabe Covid experts out there, who think mere insults are persuasive.
Several respectful, rational, qualified, and identified specialists in this field (with PHDs no less) have presented facts yet to be challenged, that these vaccines are not the answer to the problem. None of them will prevent infections or stop the virus being passed on – if I’m to be at the mercy of dubious jabs and boosters for the rest of my days, I might as well end it here. And as for the new buzzword “Efficacy”, it all depends on which strain of the virus we’re talking about. Besides, none of these outbreaks have originated on this island so perhaps your acrimonious advice should be directed elsewhere? Heaven forbid a time when alternative opinions are outlawed in this world, but it looks like exactly where we’re heading.
Medical qualifications are not needed to have sense & understand science.
Your fear is your fear.
Question…do we really believe these numbers or are their some degree of massaging these numbers, scaring the Grenadian public into taking the vaccine. wouldn’t put it past them!!
The problem, I cannot see the supporting evidence put forward by GOV to support these numbers.
What supporting evidence do you need? All the sick & dead in your front garden? Will that do?
Why would the government inflate figures to scare people in to taking the vaccine? What would be the point of that? What would they gain? Yet another conspiracy, theory. Take responsibility and stop blaming others.
So why would the government inflate figures to scare people in to taking the vaccine? For what purpose?
The government doesn’t need to scare people. The 500 to 1000 new cases per day by the end of the month will do that. And the frequent deaths of unvaccinated people. Or would you rather take a horse wormer?
Get real people.
