Well with issues from Astrozenica and J&J you can’t be too upset with those arguing the vaccines are rushed.   

Haven't checked this thread in a few days, but I don't understand why its still held up. I would think less than 1 in a million chance of a serious side effect is pretty good. And 1 in 7 million of being fatal. I don't understand why with odds like that we are slowing production down and slowing down vaccinations. SO we're going to let a few thousand die of covid in the meantime?

Well I can't speak for everywhere...but in northern VA, my daughter was slated for J&J.  Because of the halt, she got Phizer instead.  So at least here in VA, there were multiple options.  They are saying that J&J will be turned back on soon, hopefully soon enough that there won't be a shortage and people missed shots they were scheduled to receive.

Following up on a previous discussion regarding the Texas Rangers opening day at full capacity

It has been 2 weeks and Texas has seen no increase in cases and deaths have decreased daily

Again, just a data point, not saying it was right or wrong 

A very strong and positive data point.  Great to hear. 

agreed.

interesting that texas is showing fewer cases and hospitalizations while other states are climbing.

Soon everyone that wants a vaccine will get one and be vaccinated.....then what? Do we really see things changing much?

Naw man, not a thing will change...  See the President of the United States letting everyone know that they can get the vaccine while waving his mask around.

Also, nobody is fully vaccinated...  They are just done with their second shot on the perpetual pandemic profit machine!!

So you're now saying that the vaccine doesn't work,  or do you believe that unless there is a 0.0% of infection,  you can't consider someone fully vaccinated?

Thats true. It could be part of the delay getting everyone vaccinated might be administering the shot, and not the vaccine itself. In that case, halting one of the multiple vaccines available won't slow anything down.

Time will tell - nobody should end up dying because of a baseball game.

What I am saying is, are you ever truly vaccinated if you have to continue getting shots for it?

I think it's too early to know.  We may need a booster, and we may need a variant.  But that doesn't mean the vaccine isn't working.  We get flu shots ever year (which your insurance pays for), so I would not be surprised if we need a booster.   You also need a Tdap every ten years, men B.  And you need a shingles shot even after Chicken Pox.   I don't know why you're cynical about this one when boosters are very common in the vaccine regimen.

Most infectious diseases for which we have vaccines require boosters at some point.

Well, OReading, you must be relieved that travellors outside of the Island health district can't come vacation and bring disease from other BC health areas? I know I am. I didn't want to send my child to school today until I heard the numbers posted from the weekend this afternoon. I am glad they won't spike in the IH region due to travellors looking for some fun in the sun. I had expected that our region would increase to that evident in the Frasers Health region, but I think the order that does not permit travel between health regions might help us rural folk.

You shared an article that doesn't say anything whatsoever about leaving healthy. Did you just make that part up?

Hard to be surprised at folks on a flight from India being positive considering the way the virus is raging there currently.

Guess the Nuge should have stayed locked down....

Looks like Covid finally caught up with me. Tested positive after feeling symptomatic. Had 1 dose of Pfizer 3 weeks ago and scheduled for 2nd dose tomorrow. Didn't quite make it.

Oh man, that sucks.  Were you too public at some point?  Good luck to you.  Hopefully the first shot will lessen the symptoms
