Lagman Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So is it safe to vaccinate pregnant women or not? https://news.yahoo.com/cdc-walks-back-director-comments-172614386.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kYWlseXN0b3JtZXIuc3Uv&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAB3YQuNVltjGWUkDoLNoe_alMe0M1M2BHHCXpA7E7ErFPMQ0YkUaERDw6xlB64gmUWhTHyVTkFyGjvEt0Wo612VYsP7T0ukj0cU2VMe5RxJE_OcptGkXZke7yXCPenhq9ykLk3wVRZxLyYvzqvj_CABywncPkM9lE0y8Pj7Jlb7S "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention walked back a statement by the agency’s director regarding coronavirus vaccines for pregnant women." "However, the CDC said on Tuesday that its guidelines for pregnant women who wish to receive a coronavirus vaccine have not changed since they were initially released in March. Those guidelines state that “if you are pregnant, you may choose to receive a COVID-19 vaccine” but caution pregnant women to weigh the risks posed by vaccination and the virus against one another. The guidelines do not explicitly “recommend” that pregnant women get vaccinated, as Walensky suggested Friday." https://www.reddit.com/r/CovidVaccinated/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9446907/Some-women-report-heavier-painful-PERIODS-getting-COVID-19-vaccine.html#comment https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9516013/Fit-healthy-engineer-27-died-three-weeks-having-AstraZeneca-anti-Covid-jab.html https://globalnews.ca/news/7815342/health-canada-astrazeneca-covid-death/ https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/australia-investigate-two-deaths-possible-links-covid-19-vaccine-2021-04-29/ https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/israel-examines-heart-inflammation-cases-after-pfizer-covid-shot-2422593 Were going to be taking this shit forvever aren't we? - "Moderna plans to produce up to 3 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses next year, citing a 'significant need' for shots and boosters into 2023" https://news.yahoo.com/moderna-plans-produce-3-billion-050000576.html https://observer.com/2021/04/bill-gates-oppose-lifting-covid-vaccine-patent-interview/ Australia has a weird terminology for controlled medicines - https://www.wa.gov.au/government/publications/public-health-act-2016-wa-instrument-of-authorisation-authorisation-supply-or-administer-poison-sars-cov-2-covid-19-vaccine-australian-defence-force-no2-2021 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/miami-covid-vaccine-teachers-school-b1838660.html https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/does-second-vaccine-dose-totally-200531347.html https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-outbreak/story/india-covid-second-wave-recovery-rate-deaths-1795132-2021-04-26?utm_source=rhs&utm_medium=It&utm_campaign=readthis&t_source=rhs&t_medium=It&t_campaign=readthis https://www.forbes.com/sites/jvchamary/2021/04/27/coronavirus-variant-names-racist/?sh=3bc5c1f436e9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy kettlefish Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I just think that they will have to recupe their profits from somewhere, so give everyone a double free vaccine first then charge people for the follow up boosters after.

HeliX Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Most 20-somethings I know have booked, or already had, their vaccinations. Though for that age group the reasons do skew more towards altruism or desire for normality rather than avoidance of covid-19. Having said that, I also know people in that age group who had covid-19 last year and still have no sense of smell or taste today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 There’s a number of 40/50 year olds who seem to be anti vaxxers rather than younger ones. A few we know who are normally very sensible seem to subscribe to some of the conspiracy theories eg it’s big pharmaceutical pushing it, long term effects of vaccine etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesypeas Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Can’t get my head around what’s going on in India. The biggest exporter of vaccine, and yet the country is going through hell. Is the government there really more interested in making money than helping its citizens? Certainly looks that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Serum Institute of India, which is manufacturing most of the vaccine (certainly oxastra) is a private company. What's going on in India is exactly what was predicted, except maybe it was later than expected. Complacency, arrogance, stupidity etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that the island had Covid without knowing it for the last 20+ years. This would explain the dire restaurants and eateries the island is full of, the chefs quite clearly are suffering long Covid with no sense of taste or smell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Indian friend of mine thinks they’ve chosen this as the lesser of two evils. Millions live a literal hand-to-mouth existence there and the only way to prevent the current carnage is to lockdown. That would, he thinks, lead to more dying from starvation, or basically wouldn’t happen as non-compliance/rioting/anarchy would ensue. We’re so lucky here in Western Europe - as bad as social restrictions have been for some businesses, mental health etc, nobody has starved to death. There are many worse places to live through a pandemic - India is clearly one of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countries in Africa have been the same. Locking down simply isn't an option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is not a national lockdown in India, some cities and regions have. Like Dehli for example, maybe 20 million people in that city, extended today. Or Mumbai, probably a similar amount, been in lockdown since 14 April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
