Plus just think how many people will refuse to take the vaccine even if it's 100% safe. This virus is going to be here for a long time unfortunately but i'll be first in line to get the vaccine that's for sure.While this is great news by the time the vaccine is fully circulated many more cases and deaths will happen here and around the world, the spike around the world right now is out of control pushing resources to the brink and people needs to continue to stay vigilant and not think that the vaccine is right around the corner.
If the herd immunity threshold is 60% and the vaccine is 90% effective, then vaccinating 67% of the population would be enough. Probably a bit less than 67% in Manitoba because we're headed for 2% infected by the time a vaccine is widely available.Plus just think how many people will refuse to take the vaccine even if it's 100% safe.

Endpoint in the vaccine trials isn't to prevent infection, just lessen symptoms. The idea is that by lessening the severity of the infection, it will lead to fewer severe outcomes within high risk groups, like the flu shot is supposed to do. The only caveat is that the elderly generally don't create as robust an immune response after vaccination as young healthy people.If the herd immunity threshold is 60% and the vaccine is 90% effective, then vaccinating 67% of the population would be enough.

Well as long as we get it here in January or February we can just stockpile the vaccine outside. Just a little Covid humor this morning.COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc...
But the vaccine’s complex and super-cold storage requirements are an obstacle for even the most sophisticated hospitals in the United States and may impact when and where it is available in rural areas or poor countries where resources are tight.
The main issue is that the vaccine, which is based on a novel technology that uses synthetic mRNA to activate the immune system against the virus, needs to be kept at minus 70 degrees Celsius (-94 F) or below. “This will be a challenge in all settings because hospitals even in big cities do not have storage facilities for a vaccine at that ultra-low temperature.”

Having a vaccine that is 90% effective is good news... but what's not good is the shipping and storage requirements. This temp. requirement is 50 degrees colder than any other vaccine that man has ever created. Super effective vaccine that might be next to impossible to deliver.... Oh, well...

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Well now you can only buy essential products at places like Superstore and Walmart and you can't have anyone over or go over to people's homes. I can't wait for a vaccine and try and get back to some kind of normal, stay safe out there people.
Vaccine won't make much difference if half the population chooses not to get it because they've been frightened off by some anti-vax bull shit they read on the Internet. My doctor was telling me the other day that a lot of his patients have already decided to just say no. We could still be in a code red lockdown a year from now.
As for these non-essential product restrictions, it's not going to make a damn bit of difference in the numbers heading out shopping and it's just going to piss people off. Well, the more you make things unavailable for in-person shopping, the more people are going to look for online alternatives. And once they get a taste for how convenient that is, a lot will stick with that even after things open up again. So, if all the "it's not fair" whingers want to have their little cackle of glee at getting their way, go ahead. We'll be having the last laugh when we walk past your locked-up storefronts with the Permanently Closed sign hanging in the window.
Heard Bill Gates and Dr Fauci on a podcast and they agreed the PR war will be big to combat the Anti vaccine crowd.
Does it seem odd that the anti vax crowd are getting to witness their master plan in action of a vaccine free world and how is that going?
I guess if Jenny McCarthy says so it must be true.
I'm not sure that's possible, but I think if you get a high percentage of the populate vaccinated it's much less of an issue.Make the vaccine mandatory, its as simple as that.

Yes this would solve alot of issues but then these people will scream about communism and their freedoms . Steinbach at 40% positivity rate right now. Wouldn't have anything to do with that no mask rally they had, no, no way.Make the vaccine mandatory, its as simple as that.
