Covid-19 VACCINE News

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

^^^ From the same story, this is even more impressive. What a difference a vaccine shot makes!:
There are currently 1,973 people in hospital with coronavirus, down drastically from the 359,829 on January 18.

Similarly deaths have also gone down since the vaccination programme started taking off in January.

On the country’s deadliest day of the pandemic, January 20, there were 1,296 fatalities.

Yesterday 33 people died within 28 days of testing positive for the virus, meaning the UK’s average for daily deaths is currently 26.

Yes Bill Gates personally went into the laboratories of major pharmaceutical companies and single handedly came up with not one but several vaccines with surprising efficacy. Who knew his expertise extended from computers to epidemiology, pharmacology, microbiology and a host of other disciplines? Guess the guy is even smarter that we thought. Too bad we can't say the same about you.

Hey J Lightning, good catch. Actually Bill Gates' Foundation has funded a significant amount of basic research that has led to some of the technologies that allowed the Covid vaccine to be developed in such a short time (or was that because of Trump???). Even just 20 years ago having a vaccine in 9 months much less 3-4 years would have been impossible. Even for the shit Chinese vaccines. But accepting science still scares many people. Yes, you are right I think the guy is smarter than we thought, and generous.

In 1968 a remarkable man - Maurice Hilleman - together with his team developed a vaccine for the 1968 Hong Kong flu in 4 months and had 9 million doses ready by that time. In 1957 the same man developed a vaccine for that pandemic in only 2 months and by the end of the year had 40 million doses ready before the virus hit the USA - hence the very low mortality in the USA. He was responsible for saving countless lives although despite the vaccine the global mortality rate was significantly higher in 1957 than now and in 1968 the mortality rate was comparable or higher than the current pandemic. The mortality rate in all three pandemics was and is nevertheless very low. Sadly he died in 2005. Modern laboratories are utterly incapable of replicating the achievements of this man (too many cooks?). (Sources: Wikipedia et al, WHO, and CDC)

Huge positive impact on rates of infections found after one dose of AZ or Pfizer/BioNTech.

Headline: UK vaccination studies find significant drop in COVID-19 infections
The researchers analysed more than 1.6 million test results from nose and throat swabs taken from 373,402 study participants between Dec. 1, 2020 and April 3, 2021.

They found that 21 days after a single dose of either the AstraZeneca or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine - with no second dose - rates of all new COVID-19 infections had dropped by 65%.

This included a drop in symptomatic infections by 74% and a drop in infections with no reported symptoms by 57%.

Reductions in overall infections and in symptomatic infections, were even greater after a second dose - 70% and 90% respectively - the study found, and were similar to effects in people who had previously had a COVID-19 infection.

even more amazing is, whilst leading the worldwide vaccine response, he managed to find the time to write a book warning on the dangers of climate change and also model, predict and bring forward strategies on how to deal with the next pandemic, which he sagely described as being much more severe than Covid 19.
Its truly incredible.

Probably because idiots are busy pretending climate change doesn't exist, so now we have to accept even the stupid ideas in order to move the needle.

Bhutan along with Israel are success stories
Over the last two weeks, Bhutan has been doing something even the wealthiest countries couldn’t manage so far. First, instead of hastily doling out its first batch of AstraZeneca vaccine, they sat on it for two months. Then it took them just about two weeks to vaccinate nearly 95 percent of its eligible adult population.

At the same time, Bhutan’s king Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, had very early on announced that he will get vaccinated only once every eligible citizen is vaccinated.

“The idea of serving others before yourself, especially people most in need, is a fundamental concept in Bhutanese culture,” said Yangden. “His decision to get vaccinated later is a symbolic gesture that demonstrates [the king’s] desire to put everyone’s safety before his own.” The king also dolled out several initiatives at this time, such as loan deferrals and royal cash grants to the unemployed and economically affected.

That's because he now controls the global production and supply chain of Vitamin D. He's gonna get those NanoChips in your body one way or the other.
