Just because they skate like they are 70 -80 yrs old doesn't mean that they are a most urgent need for the vaccine. LOL
It doesn't help if just one country is fully vaccinated. the virus could mutate.Biden is giving away vaccines to Mexico and Canada though.
My grandma has terminal cancer and didn't qualify for it until 2 days after I got mine. My wife is a mental health councilor working from home on the phone and got both shots before I got my first. None of this makes sense man.
**edit sorry if my response violates any rules about politics etc wasn't my intention just venting...dont ban me**
Nope. Not when others who's lives are directly threatened by the disease have to wait.I think entertainers should be able to get it. It’s a relatively small group that keeps our minds occupied while we’re stuck quarantined. (I consider people in pro sports to be in the entertainment biz).
A variant or two have been found to be more easily communicable. None have been found to be more virulent - severe and dangerous. Virus mutations are commonly found to be weaker. Including the first couple of COVID variants. And at last check, I read that the vaccines are working to block their effects.It doesn't help if just one country is fully vaccinated. the virus could mutate.
that's why its in everyone's interest to get as much of the world population vaccinated as soon as possible.
We have already 2 or 3 more aggressive mutations.
for example the South African variant is not weaker it just spreads faster.A variant or two have been found to be more easily communicable.

it can be much worse, you can see how well yr gov works when they actually have to do something urgent and necessary.The state of New York has not handled distribution all that well.
38. NEW YORK
Doses distributed to state: 9,246,035

The B.1.1.7 strain (the UK variant) is not only more easily transmissible, but researchers in the UK have found that variant is much more likely to cause severe cases than others.
It's categorically untrue the viral mutations are automatically 'weaker'. A viral mutation happens randomly through a copying error. This is normal and happens all the time. The more copies that occur (from having more people infected), the more mutations will occur. The mutations that favor transmissibility are the ones that tend to win out over time, and those versions may or may not also carry traits that increase OR decrease the severity of illness.
The Yotes should have it soon, AZ is allowing anyone 16 and older to get the shot starting Wed.How do these guys not have the vaccine yet? I understand the optics of not skipping the line, but I feel like it’s been long enough for that not to be a huge issue anymore. Just buy a small supply that wasn’t designated for the general public.
My in-laws (nearly 70yo) in Chandler got their 2nd shot Friday. Sister in law is a teacher and got her 2nd shot already due to AZ moving teachers to earlier tier in queue. Brother in law (asthmatic) helped direct traffic for an ASU stadium clinic, so that got him moved into an earlier queue as a quid-pro-quo for volunteering. His wife is a PA, so she got the shots as front-line. Don't know about their kids though (both over 16, so assume they are now "in play").The Yotes should have it soon, AZ is allowing anyone 16 and older to get the shot starting Wed.
Thats just the other spectrum of dumbThey want people wearing masks in the home, had a barangay inspector this morning ask wby I was in my backyard with no mask on. Besides the obvious, hopping into the pool had to tell the moron I live alone so no one to infect
I do live in the land that common sense skippedThats just the other spectrum of dumb
