    Europe's vaccination fiasco.

    Vaccination centers in Europe are standing ready — but no vaccine is available. Pfizer has cut its production, and AstraZeneca has announced it would be delivering 60% less than agreed with the EU.

    The European Union is well behind many other places in the world in its rate of inoculating people against the coronavirus. First, the bloc's vaccination campaign grappled with organizational problems; now, it is facing a shortage of vaccines.
    The European Commission had signed contracts with eight manufacturers for a total of about 2 billion doses. But so far only, BioNTech-Pfizer has managed to deliver the goods, and even the US company temporarily cut back its production at the end of January.
    AstraZeneca, for its part, plans to deliver only 40% of the announced doses in the first quarter. Are other countries receiving more vaccine doses than the EU, or has the bloc signed the wrong contracts?

    The Italian government wants to take Pfizer and AstraZeneca to court to force them to fulfill their signed contracts. "We are starting legal action to get the doses, not financial compensation," said Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio on state television on Sunday. Italy expects delays in its vaccination campaign of up to two months, Deputy Health Minister Pierpaolo Sileri told broadcaster RAI.

    Serbia turning to China for vaccine relief.

    Serbia has set up some 200 coronavirus inoculation centers across the country. This has been made possible with international help — but not from the West.

    Is there a need for bum masks now as well as facial masks? Protecting others against people's coughing, sneezing and farting.

    It was supposed to be all fair & square/equitable at the beginning, but oh no every country would be given the same treatment (provided they had the dosh).

    Excuse me if I be a tad Cynical, (Moi?) but to me it sounds like a bit of the "Short & Curlies" "Got yer by" stuff. "Balls" also enters the scene.


    No more than what we expected after politics gets involved. Oh & Money.

    You wear a mask on your bum??? Ooooooooooo YUK! Is it Halloween again already? Whose mush is printed thereupon? Can you not slip a mask over that for extra security?


    One day the scientists will discover that the Virus is spread by not using the little known " Arse Marsk" ( tm)

    I mean, c'mon, who the **** would even think about a Rear Facing Marske.

    With the big Bucks that this involves bob, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it already has. Of course we will never be told that this is the case.

    Hijacking already started A few Canadians flew to a vaccination site , pretended to be workers to get jabbed a little before their turn. "Canadian casino mogul allegedly 'steals' coronavirus vaccine from indigenous community"

    Not a nice look
    Couple Rod and Ekaterina Baker are accused of flouting COVID-19 rules, lying about being local motel workers"

    The now-former president and CEO of a Canadian casino company and his wife are the couple accused of breaking Yukon COVID-19 rules and chartering a plane to the small community of Beaver Creek to receive doses of the Moderna vaccine.
    Rodney Baker, a 55-year-old who was then president and CEO of the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, and Ekaterina Baker, a 32-year-old aspiring actress, both received tickets at the Whitehorse airport on Jan. 21, according to court records. Rodney Baker resigned from his positions Sunday.

    Two more cases "confirmed and current" overnight out of the Pullman Hotel who stayed there the same duration as the first lady did (30 Dec to 13 Jan). Both the new cases had two negative tests (day 3 and 12) of their 14 day stay. These two are from a group of 353 people being followed up as they stayed at the hotel over the suspect period. 255 negative so far.

    These latest two live on the North Shore of Auckland. Local travel associated with day to day stuff only so far. Contact tracing sounds like it is well underway.

    Their first test a day ago after followup was a weak positive. Their second test last night was a positive with an increased CT load (whatever that is) so indicates a confirmed and current status. Genome and serology tests results today and tomorrow will apparently indicate what the govt is going to do. An immediate family member has tested negative.
