b_m_b_m_b_m Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Look, if we're not gonna get a TRIPS waiver for vaccine IP then we should Marshall Plan vaccines, treatments, and PPE for the world. Get this shit taken care of by EOY or mid '22 at the absolute latest. It's the absolute least we can do and be able to say "we tried everything we could" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass produce vaccines, put an American flag on the crate, and provide them for free to the developing world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is crawling up that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's actually 0.2%--and I checked, 1.2% actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...if the countries the immigrants were coming from were good places to live...then maybe they wouldn't want to come to America? Unfortunately you can't reason with morons.

It's just like the anti-seatbelt brigades in the 70s/80s—they will pounce on any aberrant circumstances (like a seatbelt trapping you after going over a bridge into icy water) to demonstrate that the entire effort is pointless...even though they are providing exceptions that prove the rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Our province just (kind of) announced that restrictions will be eased once we reach 75% of the pop with a single dose. So far I think we've exceeded that number with 50+ age groups (only 40+ can be vaccinated at the moment). Uptake has been good, hopefully it keeps up with younger groups.

You're way ahead of us -- in Peel we don't have a single age group at 75% with at least a single dose. Current status. 18-24 -- 5.5% 25-29 -- 7.8% 30-34 -- 7.4% 35-39 -- 8.2% 40-44 -- 11.8% 45-49 -- 15.1% 50-54 -- 38.7% 55-59 -- 46.9% 60-64 -- 61.7% 65-69 -- 65.8% 70-74 -- 70% 75-79 -- 71.2% 80+ -- 65.4% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Apparently by the end of May, Ontario will open up vaccines to all adults. They have a weekly breakdown of targeted age groups and I’m eligible come the week of May 17th. Come on Pfizer or Moderna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now there is general eligibility (meaning you can make an appointment or show up at a drive-thru clinic) for anyone 42+ (lowers to 40+ tomorrow, as well as for police, firefighters, grocery/pharmacy workers, educational workers, etc). The reason some people under 40 have their shots is because they are either healthcare workers, or have an extreme vulnerability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 @AbsolutSurgen And other Ontario peeps: Appointments will likely stretch into late June (as we won't completely have enough supply for 80% of the adult pop until then).

Fizzzzle Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 One of my coworkers is taking a trip to Hawaii in a couple weeks. From my understanding they're just requiring negative tests before and after you land. He's not vaccinated. I'm like bruuuuh I get it, we all want to go on vacation.

CitizenVectron Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Getting Team Pfizer™ at 1:48pm today. I left my name last week at a pharmacy that was doing a pilot project (right now only the government is giving vaccines here), but never heard back. This morning I called and asked if I was still eligible, and they said since I called before my group (educational workers) was up, my reservation was cancelled. However, they just called me and said I was set for today...so yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Just now, Jason said: wat My province is rolling out appointments to different age groups. For example, 42+ was on Wednesday, and 40+ is today. So you can't book and appointment until your age group is up. Last week they announced that education workers (and some others) would be eligible today, but pharmacies in the pilot program would take reservations early. So I called last week. But I never heard back, so I called this morning, and the guy said that since I'd called before my group was eligible (I am only 36, and at the time it was 44+), my reservation was cancelled. But then a few hours later the original woman I spoke to called me back and asked if I still wanted it, so I said yes! She must have taken names and numbers down of education workers and then reserved enough so that she could call us back today. ❤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Haha, I think I read it the way Jason seemed to which is that they cancelled your appointment because you called today, but you meant they cancelled the appointment already based on your age, not as punishment for calling.
