    Not so long ago I remember reading comments predicting life will not return to normal for years and thinking this was too pessimistic. Now it's easy to see how this could be true...

    Developing countries have nothing close to the supply of vaccines that they need and probably won't until 2022 at best. For instance Moderna recently announced they are no longer accepting orders in SE Asia, at the same time there is a massive surge of cases here. Meanwhile in many countries the percent vaccinated is still in the single digits.

    First world countries may be feeling better with a majority of their population vaccinated and restrictions easing in some places. But if the pandemic goes on for years in other parts of the world, who's to say new strains of the virus won't emerge that undermine all the progress so far?

    • Those new strains were a point i raised below. It's worrying. Unless a pandemic is viewed as the global problem it is, then we are all still at riskIanbolton
    • Half of contamination in France are vaccinated people that have caught the delta variant. That is why they want to go for a third shot.ApeRobot
    • Meanwhile, developed countries have vaccines for everyone, and are opening up if you have one, but people STILL bitch and whine like it's a problemmonospaced
    • ^good for developed countries they should keep ALL the vaccines for themselves anyway :) who gives a fuck about the poor and undeveloped?renderedred
    • *the poor should die anyway, right pharmabro?renderedred
    • There are vaccines available mostly everywhere, but half the populations are retarded so anti-vaxxers so this will continue for years...
      ********
    • And politicians ease the restrictions because keeping them is political suicide -which they care about more than the health of the population
      ********
    • ^it will be exactly the same with global warming - nothing will get done because of political fear
      ********
    • Careful with those over-generalized comments. Those I know not taking vaccines (yet) are Dr's and ER nurses.formed
    • Hardly anti-vaxxers, they are simply weighing the risks. We barely know what these vaccines will/can do (new J&J warning for instance).formed
    • For me, it was better to get the vaccine as I already have neurological challenges (narcolepsy), but seeing J&J's warning is discomforting. We just don't know.formed
    • ^nooo, @pharmabromono says different and he's always right ;)renderedred
    • *and yes, one of the doctors and a nurse that told me not to take the vaccine both work in the ER toorenderedred
    • Unfortunately vaccines are NOT widely available everywhere. A mix of irrational fear in 1st world and poor health systems in 3rdmonospaced
    • I don’t believe your anecdotes. That doctor and nurse are required to be vaccinated to even work in an ER btw.monospaced
    • lol at making fun of me while claiming to be right yourself you hypocritical, science denying clown assmonospaced
    • @formed not careful at all: many doctors or nurses know shit about vaccines, just because they are doctors don't mean they can't be anti-vaxxers lol
      ********
    • but I was referring to the general population anyway, but you can still include doctors, lawyers, tech guys, etc. a degree doesn't make you smart
      ********
    • globalization in reversedrgs
    • no dr. mono, both didn't take the vaccine. they wear masks and that's what they told me to do, and i am doing it. you are a propaganda guzzling machine my man.renderedred
    • and i'm not wasting one more second on you and your opinion. go take your booster shot and be safe...renderedred
    • What is the amount of actually effective vaccines produced so far vs. world population? It can't be close...yuekit
    • Considering your weak af anecdote, and that your conclusion is likewise a mere naive opinion, less relevant than mine, I welcome your silence on the matter.monospaced
    • No propaganda here either. I have many many more personal hospital staff anecdotes than you, and they are contrary. By your logic I am correct.monospaced
    • sure pharmabro, sure...renderedred
    • You said you were done. Guess that was more bullshit, right? Figured as much. And pharmabro? Assuming that's just more ignorance in insult form.monospaced
    • @yuekit you're ofc abs right with your post, Govs don't think it through AT ALL
      ********
    • Was speaking to someone from South Africa. Government corruption there (and I'm sure elsewhere) is another reason many people aren't getting vaccines.mort_
    • Tribal superstition is another huge issue in Africa with vaccines or anything involving needles.mort_
    • Taking the vaccine is a risk game: risk is a quickly made vaccine vs a lab escaped bio engineered virus.shapesalad
    • the % of people dying from vaccines is teeny tiny compared to the virus. So you got to spin the chamber and pull the trigger.shapesalad
    • If you die from the vaccine, take heed in knowing it's for the greater good of everyone else.shapesalad
    • If you die from the virus... can you die happywith the guilt of spreading it to your family, to the doctors and nurses that try to save you?shapesalad
    • I think it's an easier call in first world with the mRNA vaccines. Yes they are experimental but at least they are proven quite effective for now.yuekit
    • Many people in poorer countries are stuck with the less effective vaccines (Sinovac etc) if they can get them at all.yuekit
    • ^THAT should be the real conspiracy! China and Russia using crappy vaccines to influence/blackmail poorer nations!
      ********
    • This thread could stand a chill pill.garbage
    • consult dr. mono for real truth about the vaccinesrenderedred
    • Again, you said you were done, yet here you are desperately trying to troll me simply because I don't fall for your nonsense conspiracy theory fearsmonospaced
    • fuck off moronrenderedred
    • you firstmonospaced
    • Second round of chill pills for all.garbage
