Hasn’t the EU learned anything from Biden? Just make a COVID task force and it will magically go away, then you can just promise things will be normal by summertime.
Florida leads the country in terms of new variants.
Again, the Astra- Zeneca vaccine is the most common in the US. There was concern based on 30 instances out of 100 million+, it may cause blood clots in some people. 14 countries temporarily halted the vaccine and other vaccines are on back order. 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.
No, it's not used in our country at all. We have Pfizer, Moderna and now J and J.
Everyone and their mother got masks to the point where they are littered everyone where and we don’t need more testing. We need less. The testing madness where totally healthy people test positive is what is driving this pandemic to never ending status
Yes and that took time to get to that point. That is what people don't understand with the logic you are using in your argument. I used a bandana with hair ties and air filters and let my parents have surgical masks. Why, this time a year ago, stock was low. It took many many months for mask stock, especially quality masks to be readily available. Many conservatives still attack the cloth masks and think that we all need N-95 masks and N-95s only. Not surgical, not cloth, not KN-95, just N-95's.
You have to go with EU or UK. Clearly the UK did things independently of the EU. What they did has nothing to do with the EU. Yet you are trying to ride their coattails.
Again UK not EU.
The EU population is much larger than the USA. There numbers are 30% of America
I listed the vaccination numbers. The EU has vaccinated 1/3rd of what America has. Why argue that?
The UK ordered more vaccines at an earlier stage, and also produced it's own vaccine the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.
The UK has an order of 100 million doses for the AstraZeneca vaccine which is manufactured at UK plants in Wrexham, Oxford and Keele.
60 million doses of the Novavax Vaccine will also be manufactured in the UK at Fujifilm Diosynth factory in Teesside.
A further 60 million vaccine doses relating to the Valneva vaccine have begun manufacturing in in Livingston, West Lothian.
The UK also ordered ordered -
40 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine
17 million doses of the Moderna vaccine
30 million doses of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
Any excess UK vaccines will be given to allies and third world countries.
The UK has spent over £12 Billion ($16.5 Billion USD) on vaccines so far.

That's correct. When professional athletes in peak physical conditioning are forced to quarantine for testing positive, you know things are getting out of hand.

The flip side is coaches and support staff are often much older and higher risk. As well as the refs. And as long as its a private business doing this, they have that right. If it was government mandated I would be totally against it.
Pro and college athletes as well as those who work with them should have all been vaccinated early on. They are a small blip of the US population but provide needed entertainment.
I'm reading disturbing things about the Brazilian strain as well. Covid isn't political. Until we mitigate its effects, it will continue to spread through the population. I don't see it letting up at this point. Not sure how the US will deal with the upticks that are coming.
Only because they have not been vaccinated as quickly as is happening in the U.S., we now have three vaccines to choose from and they have Astra Zeneca, and two European countries have suspended its use over concerns of side effects.
Between those with antibodies from defeating the disease and those who have been vaccinated we (USA) may be in MUCH better shape than Europe.
