What is most concerning is Fauci and company are now saying those are very real possibilities.
Fauci has since attempted to clarify his remarks. On Tuesday, he told CBS News correspondent Weijia Jiang that his opinion about the origins of Covid-19 have not changed and still believes that its origin in nature is "highly likely."
"Since no one is 100% sure, he's open to a thorough investigation. Dr. Fauci said that does not mean he believes the virus first emerged in a lab, as some have suggested," Jiang wrote on Twitter.

Doesn't really matter what he "thinks" at the end of the day, he is not god.

There should be probe into this.

Did COVID originate in a lab? Yale researcher calls for probe into origins of the virus

and if there is any truth at all to this ( Mike Pompeo says Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting secret military research | Daily Mail Online ) it would be disastrous. We should do probe and find out what the heck is going on, to be safe.

How do y'all feel about this...

Chinese scientists created COVID-19 in a lab and then tried to cover their tracks, new study claims | Daily Mail Online

Fauci also recently saying he is not sure this is natural and could be engineered.

Terrific.

Because the US has shown that they do not care about this virus in the same way that other countries do. Down there, people dying are pretty much meaningless unless it's someone that matters to you. They don't care about others, it's all about the individual. It's a totally different culture there.

If you got Moderna. You can probably get your 2nd dose sooner if you call your pharmacist

My sister just got her 2nd dose 1 month after the first one.

She called her pharmacist about how it will work for 2nd doses. He told her to come now since he got available doses.

Boston has 50% of its population fully vaccinated 3.5 mil/7 mil total

They also had 706k detected cases so herd immunity is way higher.

And before someone ask, they also had 3.86 times more deaths per capita so no not a good thing.

Population 6.9 million 17,872 deaths
Population 38 million 25,512 deaths

One thing to keep in mind that will boost vaccination stats in the next few days/weeks.

A new plan has been put in place in the past few days for the people which got vaccinated in other countries to get officially counted as vaccinated(1 or 2 doses). We have tons of people which got vaccinated as in exemple in the U.S.(snowbirds, etc) and are not accounted for. Those citizens need to book an appointment through the call centre to show up to a vaccination centre and show foreign vax proof to be added in the system. They will then receive their QR codes.

Also for those of you which got covid instead of a second dose and are wondering how will I get my vax proof(QR code) a plan will be put in place in the following days. Covid will count as a vax shot/QR code.

If any of you need help in relation to this or any other QR code related question you can contact Services Quebec at 1-877-644-4545 options * - 7 - 3
Heard only Quebec and France do this accounting - other places don't count having had COVID as having a vaccine. Any insights?

They are being careful as while we have data that point towards a similar (or even better) response between infection+1 dose vs 2 doses, we don't have the amount of data the 2 doses has, especially real world data.

We also know there is no problem with people previously infected to get 2 doses, so they are most likely adopting a "better safe than sorry" strategy.
