If only the right people needed the right weapons they would be supplied in excess. We have a problem with the problem, folks.

Tell me, who didn’t see this coming? The 1.5 billion (mostly white) people of the first world were always going to get theirs first. And only long after every little white baby is vaccinated will you see any discernible push to make vaccines available to the third word (on a charitable basis of course, as even when we do finally commit to a little charity, we will only do it to make ourselves feel better. And for a profit of course)
The delicious irony of this whole situation is that most of these vaccines are being produced in sweat shops in those very third world nations.

Corruption, greed, and nepotism are the real reason for the lack of vaccine in most nations. When vaccines do arrive, it will be on the usual practice of pay to play. Why is the conversation not about how the culture of corruption and sadistic religious norms are the real reason for 99 percent of the misery and death in poorest countries? In the end, a high percentage of the vaccines sent will most likely be wasted. Denial and fraud insure that corruption, greed, sadism, the lack of transparency, and honesty continues.

Thank you Common Dreams for restoring comments. It is one way to stay connected to the Progressive community.

Too Capitalist.
These empty suits have exquisitely honed their talents where looking stupid is called for (witness the photo accompanying this article: our Anglo-American Beavis & Butthead). I think it’s an act, though. Not that our “western leaders” are especially bright, or anything. They strike me as malefactors of average intelligence: much more genuinely evil than stupid. That’s the side of table I’m placing my bet on, anyhow.
According to many virologists and highly credentialed doctors, (including my own personal doctor), insist the “vaccine” is a lethal injection, but any information regarding it is classified as “misleading,” and removed from view here in the land of free speech. These shots are not approved by the FDA, nor are pharmaceutical corporations held liable for the mass damage many well respected doctors and scientists have predicted them to cause, and is already causing worldwide. Both the CDC and WHO are funded by big Pharma, whose only goal is to make obscene profits on creating and perpetuating illness. And even if it was approved by the FDA, an agency that approves pharmaceuticals with hideous side effects, like DEATH, I wouldn’t trust it with a ten foot pole. The American “medical” system is a huge scam. Doctors don’t even study nutrition, the cornerstone of true health. If the US government was really concerned about Americans’ health, it would have passed an “Immune Stimulant Package,” making sure that everyone had access to clean water, fresh, organic food, and high quality supplements that would help fight this virus better than the poison for profit they’re trying to inject in everyone’s body. But since all American systems are about dollars and not sense, millions of people will die unnecessarily, and not just from Covid, but from many preventable “diseases.”

You really want a deadly virus? Your life is that miserable? Be my guest and leave yourself vulnerable, idiot, but please: Keep clear of other folks, who might prefer to survive the worst pandemic in a century. You’ll never willingly stop grooving along in antisocial ignorance – with your hateful, harmful lies, proving with your toxic presence the impossibility of healing US Americans. Dying in great pain, all alone, is not enough for someone with your level of self-loathing, your exceptional US American sickness impels you to cause as much pain as possible to others, on your way down. Congratulations for circling the drain so heroically. Have a nice death.
There have been millions of successful vaccinations. Millions. Around 97% of people getting sick with COVID around here nowadays were not vaccinated. So keep it up, fool. Make my day. I’ll even award you an honorary Darwin championship in advance, in case Delta detains you a little later…
Yes, please trust your corporately owned and operated government and a sickness care system based on profit over people that kills over 600,000 people a year, according to Johns Hopkins, (pre-covid report). Get the shot over and over again and we’ll see who dies first. (And for the record, I’d rather you not die because I care more about your life than the criminal government and medical industry does.)

Seriously: You lie as if you think it’s funny, as if you don’t care much about living. But Life can be beautiful for those of us who struggle to take it seriously, to take good care of ourselves and our loved ones, to respect reality and healthy self-preservation. This has nothing to do with trusting any government. It has to do with your responsibility to utilize your intelligence, at moments like this. Rather than blowing off this visit to Planet Earth – this incarnation – as a stupid joke. Just listen, for once.
Listen to your own voice. Do you really want to sound like that – to represent yourself this way? It really isn’t that hard to care, unless you only care to be hard. It’s actually much easier, once you get the hang of it, to locate appropriate targets for legitimate anger, rather than thrashing around like a stuck snake.
What if some gullible person buys one of your careless lies and gets sick, because of you? I don’t suppose that sort of thing bothers characters such as yourself. Water off a duck’s back!
So, to trust world renown doctors and scientists who speak out against this entire unprecedented scenario is not caring about life? I do NOT think it’s funny. I think it’s tragic that so many believe in systems known to be harmful to human life. The US sickness care industry is laughing all the way to the bank. If they really cared about human health, they wouldn’t be making billions off the “vaccine.” And for the record, I’m not talking about medical professionals, most of whom truly care about their patients, but are incredibly mis-trained about real health. (Again, they don’t even study nutrition!) So don’t put your sick judgments on me because I care more about human health than I do about your misguided opinion. (Incidentally, your personal insults do not make your argument more credible.)

Only the tense needs adjustment: they just keep sucking – witness the visit from bloody old Auntie Vaxxer to this thread. I’ve been a nursing assistant. I know respiratory illness is by far the most terrifying. Nothing is worse than not knowing where your next breath is coming from. The 97% figure quoted above is unofficial, but from a knowledgeable source: an overwhelming majority of current infections here on USA’s west coast are among the unvaccinated.
I don’t blame the children. I blame the vicious anti-vaxxer instinctual fascists putting their own children’s lives at risk. Such people demonstrate the highest level – the lethal level – of parental incompetence. In my opinion they are unfit parents. Someone should take their children away for protection. Exposure to this virus is undoubtedly not the only kind of abuse such people inflict on their children. Under current variants and conditions, teens and young adults are now the weightiest cohort of our population falling ill.
A study published today found three-quarters of those who contracted COVID suffering from long-term symptoms, to this day – a far higher proportion for long-COVID than I’ve heard of from previous studies.

Once you start indulging in blatant lies, there’s no trusting anything you say – especially those pathetic, fake-compassionate protestations of yours – belied by previous, unretracted bloody hateful anti-science smears. It does not help your credibility to start out with the most outrageous lie about “lethal injections”. Of the people reading this, very few of you are willing to commit such crimes against truth and health at the same time. Everyone here (including yourself, of course) knows you’re lying about lethal injections. Shame on you, liar. God help anyone under your sway, unfortunate enough to fall victim to your madness.
But why hang out here, with such obviously stupid nonsense? This forum is for thinking people, imho.
