actually most of Europe started vaccinating EARLIER than us..and they have ALL the brands


Europe saw significant drops in their numbers in Jan-Feb... AHEAD of the USA..and now they are seeing some increase in cases....just as the USA WILL

Yes. And you are a Leftist.

The US. came in at third place.

The most recent surge is primarily impacting Eastern Europe. Most countries lifted restrictions in anticipation of the vaccination.

The AstraZeneca vaccine is the most common in Europe. 14 countries have temporarily suspended it due to reports ^ may increase risk for blood clots, in some people. Specifically, blood clots have been detected in 30 people which is no greater than the general population.

Parts of Europe are dealing with a combination of prematurely lifting restrictions, concern with the Astra- Zeneca vaccine, new variants and back orders of other vaccines.

Canada is vaccinating very slowly for some reason. The UK is doing a good job like we are. I think the EU is making a mistake halting over 30 cases. With cases rising this is not the time to be timid.

That is not correct. The EU was slow to approve the vaccine. The UK was ahead of the US but they are not part of the EU (Brexit)

Covid: Why is EU’s vaccine rollout so slow?

I think you meant in Europe?

The AstraZeneca vaccine has not even gotten its EUA from the FDA yet, only the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines have gotten Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA in the US so far and have been distributed.

LOL. Not in the slightest. You don't even know what a leftist is. To you if one is not lockstep with Trumpisms, boom they are a leftist.

But I am curious what defines a leftist to you? Refrain from personally attacking me this time.

Current reports indicate there is no connection between Adtra- Zeneca and clotting.

Australia bet the farm on this vaccine and have enough to vaccinate the entire population and as of now have no reservations.
This post is otf. AstraZeneca(AZ) hasn't been approved in the US. So either you mean AZ for United Kingdom(UK) and the European Union(EU) or you meant Pfizer for America. I hope AZ has a safe vaccine but I understand the EU pausing for now. The problem with this however, is that the EU really don't have a back-up like if the US was to have issues with say Moderna's. To date all the US vaccines are safe sans questionable alternative media sources.

No Oklazona Bound just doesn't like Trump. Weird how a libertarian can not like Trump yet not be left. Oklazona Bound and I agree on a number of things especially Covid-19 related and disagree on others. Never once unlike other "non-left Trump contrarians" they have given me cause to not think that their views and posting history is a show.
