Despite Trump administration promise, government has no more โreserveโ 2nd vaccine doses
@naikarrah ๐ก This is unforgivable. He has taken lying to a new level of potential death=inducing disinformation.
@BlueStateBabe
i have to question using "new level" in relation to Trump:
* baseless election fraud claims created a deadly and destructive riot in halls of Fed Govt.
* choosing 'herd immunity' approach for 9 months to pandemic of a 14-day virus where natural antibodies decline w/in 30-60 days & increasing chances of mutations on which current tests/vaccines may not work
* gifting direly needed PPE tagged for medical personnel to thousands of pvt pals, political donors, fav press orgs, & corps.
Good points. It is nothing new, but it is certainly a bold lie guaranteed to kill if plans are made based upon the availability disinformation . There is no "in our opinion" involved (as these bozos do with masks or contagiousness of COVID). Straight out, there were no vaccinations stockpiled. But they told states there were.
I might lack the proper label for this, but being unable to distinguish between 0 availability and large stockpiles is unforgivable. Period.
On second thought...maybe the value of real numbers IS a negotiable, alternative fact in the Trump admin.
@BlueStateBabe
you made me LoL irl! ๐๐ฝ
@BlueStateBabe @naikarrah
I'm so sadly not surprised.
@BlueStateBabe
literally everything that comes out of that PoS's mouth is designed exclusively to bolster his own ego. absolutely *nothing* else on earth matters to him more than that.
with that line of thought in mind, it stands to reason that yep, he'll lie to all of America about something deadly for just 10 minutes of self-aggrandisment and ego-inflation & just like 'election fraud', he'll repeat these lies no matter what final cost to anyone else.
@naikarrah oh no. Are you tested positive? How are you feeling?
@Emmanouella
no, i'm grateful to say that i don't have CV-19; however, my son is immunocompromised and has juvenile asthma. if he gets infected, his chance of mortality is over 90%.
@naikarrah Very happy you got vaccinated!!!
@Emmanouella
i'm not vaccinated, i have no eligibility to get just the first one even if it was available.
@naikarrah oh! I see.... it is great your child is vaccinated. I would think the K1s should also be but... maybe they are rationing the doses.
@Emmanouella
my son is not yet vaccinated. they have not reached that tier either in the local region or even in TX yet.
@Emmanouella the number of doses is critically low here already, and the number of ICU beds is well beyond the legal capacity. the number of hospital & medical staff is critically low as well.
vaccinations are poorly organised in my area. i don't foresee my son getting his first one before well into spring at the current rate.
@naikarrah Austria has managed to vaccinate doctors and medical staff which is great. But they have just managed 70000 vaccinations. There is rationing everywhere. We need to still be very vigilant and careful till minimum April, I think. I hope your child is vaccinated soon. I do not think immunosuppression poses an issue but asthma for sure does.
@Emmanouella
They have opened up a convention center as a field hospital for non-COVID-19 patients.
