The virus is coming so get vaccinated
Anonymous writes: We need to allow the virus to spread through the population in as controlled a manner as possible. The correct balance for this is to allow only fully vaccinated travellers (Unless Caymanian or Status Holders, if unvaccinated). The Human Rights Commission granted permission for the Government of the Cayman Islands to enforce a vaccine mandate for tourists and work permit holders.
This is NOT discriminatory against Jamaicans. There are many people here of multiple nationalities that have refused to get vaccinated. There are reasons many, until now, have refused vaccination. But I have bad news for you, my unvaxxed bretheren, This virus is going to one day find you.
Please do not think I am trying to drive fear. At this point, this virus needs to be embraced much like the flu and the common cold. It is one more virus that all of us have no choice to but to live with.
Blame China, blame governments, blame whoever you think is responsible. But DO NOT take your anger at mask mandates at the staff of the businesses you frequent or schools you send your children to. This virus, nor the mandates are their fault. Wear a mask, take extra precautions, give extra funding to the HSA, but do not blame the people who are there trying only to do their jobs.
With that out of the way, I appreciate the fact you do not trust the mRNA vaccines. I get that. Something like this has never been done before. But there has never been a virus like this before. Let me please share the evidence I’ve gathered arguing and researching all of the anti-vaxxer and anti-masker evidence I have found. These are the best reasons they have to not take the vaccine and both are supported by nothing but seemingly internet trolls on Facebook.
First, “Why should I take an ‘experimental’ vaccine that I do not know the long term effects.”
This is an absolutely fair question to ask. However, it is quite dated. We now have good data that shows people who are vaccinated make up the minority in hospitals worldwide. If you care to argue this point, keep in mind, I have very many sources showing better outcomes for the “experimental” group vs the “control” group. So when you say “I don’t want to take part in the experiment”, keep in mind, by not getting vaccinated you are automatically in the control group.
“I want freedom of choice! I want to choose which vaccine I get!”
You can’t even begin to comprehend how stupid and entitled that sounds. There are many countries begging for vaccines and they aren’t coming while Covid spreads through their communities.
“It took almost 14 days for me to be cured,” Kichine says. “There were a lot of caregivers that were infected, so I think that if there is a possibility to make a vaccine available, it will really ease us in our work.”
Source: Vaccine deserts: Some countries have no COVID-19 jabs at all
So, let’s conclude that long term effects are very likely rare, as all medical data on our Pfizer shot has shown no real long term effects. Generally, short term, rare side effects can include things like Myocarditis and Pericarditis. Data has shown that adverse reactions of this sort are very rare.
“One of the main objectives of vaccination is to protect against severe forms of the disease — an unvaccinated person has a more than 8 times bigger chance of getting a severe form if infected with COVID. Thus, in addition to reducing the severity and duration of the disease, vaccination also contributes to stopping the spread of the virus.”

Source: Pfizer Covid jab ‘90% effective against hospitalisation for at least 6 months’
Again, ask if me if wrong! I really dare you. I will respond to this post and point you out for the idiot you are. Vaccinations are simply from the Hippocratic Oath of doctors you are so quick to vilify: “I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.” It is far better to use a vaccine that prevents serious side effects from a virus that is known as a PANDEMIC.
The vaccines work and they will not harm you in most to all cases. As with any medication, there is a small element of risk but that risk is generally seen as to outweigh the good the medication does. You don’t know what’s in headache medicine, nor do you know what’s in your burger you get from Wendy’s. So why all of a sudden, all of you are PhD’s reading your dumbass articles from Mercola or Robert F. Kennedy Jr?
Please, for the love of God and all that is holy, please get the vaccine if you haven’t already. Cayman is not going to lock down again to protect you.

for a second can we all go back to the beginning and realize that 90% of the epidemics throughout human history are because of people eating/killing animals.
Go Vegan and stop this foolishness. I’m deadly serious do your research all this is because of man eating and killing animals, swine, flue, mad cow disease, sars, mers, Avian Influenza, ebola, Marburg Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Viruses HIV-1 and HIV-2 the list is endless
Mmmmm bacon
The irony of this all is that dumbasses deny the science and advice of medical experts across the world, yet promptly go running to the same medical experts begging to be cured of the illness they got because of their stupidity.
Hospitals around the world are full of unvaxxed people wishing they’d listened to the science.
The science is simple – The covid vaccines massively reduce risk of serious illness & % transmissibility. So by taking the vaccine, you help yourself & others.
This is very easy to understand – unless you’re dumb.
I don’t think anyone is doubting that. The hesitancy stems from the gene altering ingredients. Few people had any problems with the shots for measles, smallpox etc, but these were more natural vaccines.
CNS: This is a tired conspiracy theory that’s been debunked over and over. Before you spread it again, make an effort to understand why it’s nonsense. Is it true? Can COVID-19 vaccines alter my DNA? No, COVID-19 vaccines do not alter your DNA.
Ignorance: mRNA (R-N-A) vaccines cannot in any way alter your DNA. And, in fact, in the past, some recipients of what you call “natural vaccines” have actually fallen sick and died of the disease.
We done the same thing with the world map, BUT my wife hit Romania. So we will remain right here😂😹😤
My husband purchased a world map and then gave me a dart and said, “Throw this and wherever it lands—that’s where I’m taking you when this pandemic ends.” Turns out, we’re spending two weeks behind the fridge.

It is your condemnation and patronizing bullying demeanor speaking down to people that is why the unvaccinated don’t speak out.
The virus is there. The virus been there. Time to get vaccinated.
stop.if someone chooses not to be vaccinated, that is their right.
however here are facts:
unvaxxed are more likely to catch and spread covid
unvaxxed are obvioulsy more likely to get seriously ill and end up in hospital
hence they are general risk to the health of other people and a risk to our overall health service.
hence why unvaxxed people should be restricted in their movements and social interactions.
cig needs to bring in vax passport for access to all public places asap…just like the rest of the developed world.
Vaccinated or not, the likelihood of getting infected are the same; for the illness to be more or less severe between vaxxed or unvaxxed remains to be proven locally.
This is not true at all. The unvaccinated are far more likely to get covid. Why do you think there are so many cases in schools where kids are too young to be vaccinated?
This is not true. Unvaccinated people are more likely to catch covid and therefore spread covid.
Still? So you need it to be proven locally? WHY? SMH
An overweight 60 year vaccinated is a MUCH greater risk to people around him and to the healthcare system than a fit unvaccinated 18-35 year old. FACT.
So while we’re at it let’s put restrictions on all the old people, all the obese people (who have proven in studies to spread the virus at 3x the rate as people with normal BMIs), all the cancer patients, all the pregnant women, all those with HIV or any other debilitating conditions. Because they are a burden.
Even with the new wave of the Delta virus Singapore has still not experience a death of anybody under the age of 44, vaccinated or unvaccinated. And over 2/3rd of the hospital beds and severe patients are fully vaccinated there. Why comp Singapore? Because it’s most similar to Cayman in not having any natural immunity in the population.
That is not fact. The unvaccinated younger person is still more likely to catch and spread covid even if they are asymptomatic.
cig told you to trust the vaccine and that you will NOT catch Covid 19 if you get vaccinated but here we are seeing the vaccinated people catching and spreading it. if anyone should be concern it should be the unvaccinated people. did you ask yourselves why the government is controlling the administration of the vaccine and mandating it in such way? if an unvaccinated person got the virus, they should quarantine and do whatever necessary not to spread it. in the mean time the vaccinated persons SHOULD be protected so why do unvaccinated persons are our concern? is it a choice to get vaccinated BUT it is not a choice to not get vaccinated? how far are we going with this and where is it going to stop? Israel are on their 4th booster…. Educate yourselves!
I’ve got my booster as of Monday and am all in favor of the western vaccines. However, it is easy to understand why many people are suspicious or calculate that they don’t need it: 1) the issue has been grossly politicized by politicians of all stripes since the thing started, 2) No one really trusts the drug companies given the history of bad behavior, 3) the medical community was obviously guessing about nearly everything for the first 6 months and the professional line has been confused and contradictory since, 4) many people of color are suspicious of new drug trials and being forced to take any drug by white people, given past history, 5) a large percentage of the population can reasonably conclude that the disease is not a significant threat to them, (people under 40 and those who have had it already), 6) the vaccine doesn’t last very long so why bother crowd (there is no successful long term vaccine for any corona virus including the common cold), 7) people react badly to being called stupid, which only earns the response “so’s your old man,” and 8) are all the teachers and medical professionals refusing the vaccine to be dismissed as the just the morons of the educated classes?
Soooo, you may as well stop calling people stupid, no matter how superior you may be. It’s not a convincing argument in this context. Bottom line is that requiring vaccination in order to go places and do things (like we did with polio vaccine etc.) is one way to proceed, but the political classes seem unwilling to grasp this nettle. Maybe they are the ones who are stupid. Or not, since the virus seems to be attenuating.
Brilliant, thank you
Great comment.
this comment, also 11:34 am and 10 :54 am are THE BEST. If someone still don’t get it, they deserve what is coming if you implement the mandates – shortage of labor and skilled workforce that will force you to beg them to come on any conditions dictated by THEM. It is already happening in other countries.
Why would you need to allow a virus to spread through the community? You truly are an idiot!
You can’t hold back the ocean.
Me, I’m more curious about what’s in a Whopper.
Some things are better left unknown.
If we do this then we need to force the Jamaicans to undergo a mandatory drivers education course.
Especially the canoe captains.
Aren’t they tested by CBC on arrival?
Your arguments for getting the vaccine are sound. Protect yourself, protect your family.
But I think many still have issue with where we cross the line on privacy rights, which the modern world has fought hard to improve in recent decades.
Basing visitor entry on medical records has precedent, certainly, but at what level does this trickle down and when does this end? I look to certain employers who are now withholding pay for staff who don’t wish to show papers, and then won’t get tested at their expense weekly. In a normal environment, we’d be calling this for what it is – greed — based on not wanting employees to miss work for a few days or increased insurance rates due to increased doctor’s appointments and testing.
But now, in Cayman, this slope seems OK to some of those CEOs for the moment. At what cost in employee frustration, loyalty, and respect? We can look to Europe, who have been through this for a while now, for a glimpse of the future in this respect. They are removing these mandates and requests for vaccination, as this is an unsustainable solution that is creating more anxiety than doing good. Yes, vaccines will help slow the spread, but evidence is clearly showing that this protecting is increasingly minimal against those without the vaccine.
As you note – Covid is here and we should deal with it. Curative or symptom reducing drugs are on the horizon within the 4-6 months. I would urge people to vaccinate, but the whole us vs them argument is driving a wedge in this community that just does not appear worth the tiny gain in perceived protection it brings.
Exactly right. “Protect” those who are unvaccinated by ever-increasing punitive measures.
I have a great idea! Threaten to get the unvaccinated fired if they don’t comply! Then, they’ll REALLY feel protected!
The vax mob are all so cocksure that they’ve made the right choice. I think they are afraid they have not, and thus want to force everyone else to be in the same boat.
This whole Sars-Cov-2 thing has been an evolution, and the entire process has been a series of missteps. There is no denying that the vaccination has resulted in less deaths initially. Things are changing.
Protect yourself with your own chosen strategy. Research, research, research with vetted medical studies. Lean heavily upon the German and British studies, because they tend to lack hyperbole. Make an informed decision, and allow others the same grace.
You are probably well aware that your research doesn’t equate to ACTUAL scientists research right? I’m sure your searches can lead you to whatever biases you have to support you. If you don’t trust doctors or the CDC, what about Harvard and the other ivy league colleges? Are they part of the conspiracy?
Common thing I keep hearing. Its now boiled down to “Your research isn’t correct or right or done properly”
This is just indicative that this entire thing has become politicized.
Decentralization is the way forward as it allows you to do exactly what you want and it allows me to do what I want. We don’t need to share any systems and have options all around to take the path we each want to take.
Excellent points, thank you.
Yes, everyone should take the vaccine.
(Except those who voted for McKeeva. You guys sit tight)
It’s a very common thing to do when one is presenting an argument, to pick their best and the choose the worst from the other side. Its common practice which I don’t fault you for too much as I’m sure I’ve done the same recently. However, there are things I want to bring up.
1. You say “So, let’s conclude that long term effects are very likely rare, as all medical data on our Pfizer shot has shown no real long-term effects”. What are your parameters for what constitutes long term? 6 months? a year? 3 years? It’s hard to take this argument seriously when you present it as ‘there are no long-term effects because in the last 7 months nothing has come up’. You have not defined long-term. Are we speaking in terms as vaccine testing date to now? If we want to play it that way, then what do we call 3-5 years after.. long long long term? There is no definition or foundation for the ‘no long term effect’ argument on which I can even begin to argue against because you’ve just chosen your own arbitrary definition that you haven’t defined and think its accepted by everyone.
2. What do other countries wanting the vaccine have to do with me not wanting to take it? This should be all the more reason to send those vaccines to those who want it. I’m not advocating for noone being able to take the vaccine, if there are those out there that want it then send it to them. Using that as some argument as to why I should take it is idiotic at best. “You should take this even though you don’t want it because other people would love to have it.” Other people’s desire for something doesn’t justify you saying I need to accept it if I don’t want it.
3. What makes you assume that I do not know what’s in the food I eat? I actually study my food consumption extremely carefully. I do not consume alcohol, nor do I smoke. I don’t eat fast food and I make and grow most of my perishables. I don’t take pain killers unnecessarily (maybe three times in the last 2 years) and I attribute that to the fact I focus on my diet. You have come out of the gate assuming that this somehow bolsters your argument, to create a straw man and point out the flaws of this assumption and somehow project this on everyone who refuses to take the vaccine. Common tactic in use.
4. The entitlement from YOU is quite funny giving you think that those who want to exercise their right to choose are the entitled ones. “It is far better to use a vaccine that prevents serious side effects from a virus that is known as a PANDEMIC”, who decided that, you? So you decided this and think I am an idiot for not thinking like you but somehow I am the entitled one? I’m not the one trying to convince other people to do something. I live and let live because I believe people can make up their own mind and do their own risk assessment, but somehow I’m the asshole. Interesting how that works.
5. I’m not asking Cayman to protect me. I’m not asking the government to protect me. I want my protection to be my own responsibility. Why are you speaking as if I’m asking the rest of the community to baby me? It’s the pro vax persons who were pushing for everyone to take the vaccine in order to protect the community despite you can still contract and pass covid on (albeit at a lower rate I you want to make that argument). The pro vax’s rhetoric makes it seem like you are truly afraid of this virus and are hoping everyone else takes it to ease your mind. You seem to want other people to protect you. I say again, I’m not asking anyone to protect me. I will take matters into my own hands. If you want to be protected, take the vaccine and live a healthy lifestyle. Stop living in fear. Again you present this argument like it is somehow reflected of what ant vaxxers are saying or asking for. Common tactic in use again.
Something that appears to be lacking in modern day discussions presentation of thoughts. What did you hope to achieve? Was your intention to actually change people’s mind with your demeaning tone? You have no tact and you clearly have an inability to change perspective even for a few moments in order to create a solid argument for your side. You truly don’t understand the myriad of reasons people might have for not wanting to take a ‘vaccine’, illustrated by points 1, 2 and 3 above. You chose your own half assed reasons you think other people have and tried to present that as the entirety of the other side. You’ve displayed that you are only able to think in your own terms and truly don’t understand what goes into making this type of decision for myself giving what I’ve experienced or know. But you somehow know better than me, what’s good for me. Thank you entitled one, but I’m good. The consequences of my actions will be mine alone. If you are that afraid, take your vaccine and live your life. If you believe it protects you then you should be fine. I’m sure you and your covid vaccine advocates would love for me to die so it can prove your point, so just open up and let it happen if you think that. Stop trying to force me to complying with your demands. Whatever it is you are trying to compensate for, having the entire country vaccinated will not achieve it because it appears to come from within.
10/10.
You could have also added that the comments of many people in independent forums do not reflect that the vaccine is as safe as they claim it to be, even in the short term.
ya my friends friends balls got big
That’s great if you are planning to take responsibility for your actions and deal with the consequences of contracting covid alone. Unfortunately you might be in the minority. Hospitals in many places have been filled with unvaccinated covid patients who when they became sick, certainly didn’t want to deal with the consequences of their decision alone. So the doctors, nurses and people sick with other illnesses who had their own surgeries cancelled because of a lack of resources also had to deal with the consequences of that decision.
And of course the people you infect might also have to deal with the consequences. Sure there is a possibility that vaccinated people can spread covid but at least they’ve done what they could to protect others in the community.
Excellent, thank you.
This comment must be printed and framed. Force every member of the Parliament to read it.
I can’t imagine why anyone would disagree with such a well thought out argument. Even if I disagreed with your premises, I would still applaud you conduct, and your orderly compilation of respectful arguments.
Well done.
1. In the whole history of vaccines, complications have arisen within the first few weeks– check the literature– and it is unlikely to be any different with this miracle of a vaccine.
2. Okay, but surely you must be even a tiny bit grateful you live in country that gives to the OPTION of being vaccinated if you want to.
3. This is an n=1 opinionated position. Sure, YOU may be one of the very few who makes a list of all the chemicals they don’t want in their foods, but this post is not just for you.
4. No comment.
5. With a novel respiratory virus — that has taken over 700,000 lives in the US– you ARE dependent on the actions of others for your health whether you like it or not — unless you’ve lock yourself away in your home and haven’t seen the light of day for a year. The more people that chose to be vaccinated, that wear masks, that socially distance, that do not breach quarantine rules, the safer YOU are. And if you disagree with this, you have no grasp of the published research. This is not an illness caused by a colorant in your yoghurt. This is a droplet spread, communicable, possibly deadly viral disease. When you’re part of a community, you are sometimes called upon to act for the overall good of the community. A pandemic is one of those times. Again, it’s not all about YOU. Your community is asking you to act in a manner that may be beneficial to the community as whole. F#ck the community, right? You don’t want anything from the Government, not the community? You’ll take matters into your own hands? Okay, but tell me you won’t bother the healthcare system of the community you seem to despise if you take a Covid hit and require O2 and a ventilator.
By the way, if you are not vaccinated you are placing yourself, your loved ones, and the community at large at a greater risk. Again, if you don’t believe this you are ignorant of the published research literature. Again, it’s not about your community, right? It’s all about YOU.
Thank goodness readers have seen through your arrogant, anti-social, “I’m all right Jack” attitude with — as it currently stands– twice as many dislikes as likes.
Your vaccine doesn’t stop transmission. They said it did when it came out. Like Fauci saying it on a now famous video. But that is the truth. Being back 14 day quaratine
CNS: You are spending too much time reading BS. NBC – Vaccinated people are less likely to spread Covid, new research finds
AGAIN? Stop we’ve listed again and again…so frustrating!
Thanks CNS you probably have your response saved in your clipboard to save you from having to type it over and over and over again!
CNS: Yes I do. But I really appreciate readers who send new and updated links.
1. “In the whole history of vaccines, complications have arisen within the first few weeks– check the literature– and it is unlikely to be any different with this miracle of a vaccine” — It is unlikely you say. This is part of the problem with your side of the argument. You are not sure of what you are saying but I need to come to the same conclusion as you. You have no certainity on what happens years after but I should take it anyway and I’m a bad person for not doing it. Are you going to be paying my bills 5-6 years down the line? No, so weigh the risks yourself and make your own judgments. Don’t try to force me to do what you do or take what you want to take.
2. “Okay, but surely you must be even a tiny bit grateful you live in country that gives to the OPTION of being vaccinated if you want to.” I’m grateful for the random placement of my life in a decent country but I am under no obligation to comply with anyone’s demands with that held over my head as a reason.
3. “This is an n=1 opinionated position. Sure, YOU may be one of the very few who makes a list of all the chemicals they don’t want in their foods, but this post is not just for you.” Then writing skills should have been emplored so that an accurate portayal of the thought was clearer. This is what I said that writing skills are lacking in today’s age.
5. “Okay, but tell me you won’t bother the healthcare system of the community you seem to despise if you take a Covid hit and require O2 and a ventilator.” – I hope to see more comments from you and others that spout this when you see people going to BK every evening for the 2 for $8 special. I’ve been paying more and more every year for health insurance depsite me going to the doctor 3 times in the last 5 years. You don’t see me using this as a crutch to carry my argument.
“Health care is right of the people and we should take care of everyone…unless they don’t live how I want them to do” <– this is how you sound.
"By the way, if you are not vaccinated you are placing yourself, your loved ones, and the community at large at a greater risk." Then they can get vaccinated and reduce that risk from the virus. How is this still all on me for choosing to not be vaccinated? There is something out there that people believe will protect them and others, but the focus is on me alone for not choosing to get it and I'm the bad one. Get the vaccine and protect yourselves. Easy peasy.
"you ARE dependent on the actions of others for your health whether you like it or not — unless you’ve lock yourself away in your home and haven’t seen the light of day for a year." Not by choice. I didn't choose and I certainly don't have any influence in government despite me voting for them and them claiming to work for us. I eat properly and take care of myself. No need for doctors apart from a very seldom check up which yields good results, yet I am paying health insurance premiums because other people are using the doctor for every single thing they can and to treat their ailments. My earned money is going into a put I don't take out of but I'm dependent on others for my health? I grow my own perishables and the last I checked, I had to get my own legs running on the road for cardio. I give into this rubbish system more than I get out but you claim I'm the dependent one. Please.
“The consequences of my actions will be mine alone”. That is not necessarily true. if you contract the virus and spread it to others, your actions have consequences way beyond you. It’s this selfishness that makes me crazy.
You started well, but your arguments and superior attitude rubs me the wrong way.
80%+ of individuals that gets Covid19 did not require a vaccine and had no issues with their natural immune system fighting off the virus.
The remaining 20% is a problem and unfortunately we don’t know which percentage you will fall in. Highly likely if you have any medical issues you will fall into the 20% that will have issues (including possibly death) with Covid19.
5% of that 20% may require hospitalization
1-2% will die.
If I choose to take an aspirin for a migraine, it is my choice. Again if my doctor prescribe another drug, it is still my choice to fill that prescription.
Again, not everyone will willy nilly take a medication prescribe by their Doctor. Many will do their own research or seek out alternatives. This is a choice.
Mandatory Vaccination —ok –so if I refuse I’m ostracize or fired from my Job or left out of society.
Given that boosters are now the recommend course of action, when is one considered fully vaccinated? The science is still evolving and requires bot the vaccinated and unvaccinated to practice good hygiene and ensure that their immune system is strengthened.
Vaccines by itself is not the magic bullet that we envisioned it to be. Every single highly vaccinated country has had to revisit it’s protocols and I’m sure this will continue until this particular virus has run its course.
We seem to be going down a never ending street of us vs them, freedom of choice vs mandated mandates.
Luckily, this is still somewhat a democratic country whereby the courts can over-rule the Gov’t. Too often, people act out of Greed and Fear to the Detriment of Others.
Government acts in their best interests and often not in the national good. Too often the low hanging fruits and nationalism rears it’s ugly head and the majority remains silent.
Fine but I have customers stating if I send anyone to their homes they have to be vaccinated and companies are saying negative covid test within 2 days if unvaccinated. As an employer if someone is unvaccinated I can’t take them as I can’t send them anywhere. So unvaccinated employees will not be an option Caymanian or not.
The law would have to change to mandate an unvaccinated Caymanian has to be allowed in peoples homes. that seems very unlikely to me.
I’m fine with work permit holders needing the vaccine, I just wish they mandated it across the board.
Such a great idea, that’s what I’m telling all my service providers. AND I want proof of it and I have EVERY right to request it.
You do. I support your requesting that every single person who comes in contact with you has been fully vaccinated. That is indeed your right.
Likewise, it is my right as a service provider to refuse you service. I have so many customers that are grateful, and they know me personally and understand the care I take with them and myself.
I haven’t yet had anyone tell me that if I am unvaccinated, they don’t want service, but if they do, that’s fine. I respect their choices. It’s a difficult time for everyone. What I will never EVER do is use that as a lever against them. I support everyone making their own choice, and I appreciate them communicating those choices. Easy.
The facts:
* More than a third of COVID-19 infections result in zero protective antibodies.
* Natural immunity fades faster than vaccine immunity
* Natural immunity alone is less than half as effective than natural immunity plus vaccination.
Get vaccinated and give yourself a chance.
Thank you for laying out the truth so well. I only hope people on the fence read this and stop making up stuff in because of nicki minajs non-existing cousin et al.
Right on! I love it that so many people who didn’t pass or even didn’t take basic college chemistry and biology 101 are now somehow experts in epidemiology and think they know more than someone with a PhD who has decades of experience in the field. Another excuse I heard for not getting the vaccine is that pharma companies are making too much money off the vaccines. So if those people end up in the hospital or worse with covid, that’ll really show show them big pharma, right?
Idiotic comment which is clearly just an attempt to shout into the echo chamber and feel good about yourself. You as well have shown that you do not understand what the other side is saying. But you do you.
Bravo/brava. I would only add, from firsthand lab experience: that if you are wondering about 3rd booster necessity, ask your MD to run an antibody titre lab (Quest $100). You might be surprised at how little residual antibody protection remains in “fully vaccinated” after 6-7 months and recalibrate delta preparation confidence accordingly. Once BA delivery arrives mid-Oct, let’s hustle to get those deployed into the arms of people that need them. HSA should think about reopening the temporary airport vaccination clinic on name-days to get that done. Sadly, the next generation of mRNA vaccines that address VOCs won’t be ready until year end, at earliest.
Great comment! And yet govt is dragging its feet in getting boosters into arms.
Regardless of Caymanian, Jamaican, American or British, all returning to the Island should be fully vaccinated before being allowed entry.
and they should have to quarantine as well as vaccinated people can still catch the virus and infect others. If we drop quarantine, what is happening now will seem like a picnic in comparison with what will follow.
No, else we are never getting back to normal.
You’d actually refuse a Caymanian the right to return to their own island if not vaccinated? Dear oh dear.
Yes I would.
Pure ignorance. You cannot go against the right of abode. That is the equivalent of making a Caymanian stateless.
“You don’t know what’s in headache medicine, nor do you know what’s in your burger you get from Wendy’s. So why all of a sudden, all of you are PhD’s reading your dumbass articles from Mercola or Robert F. Kennedy Jr?”
Stupid argument. that’s why their labels. If you’re suggesting that these things have hidden ingredients then you’re confirming that we should not trust the FDA to have our best interest at heart. Just take a look a a difference in leblling between eroprean products and American products. The ingredient list on the European products is about a third in length. These other things you speak of have been around for decades and the long term effects are known.
“There are”
What is your argument? That there is no “label” on the vaccine? Even a label won’t tell you what is in a medication, unless you have a degree in chemistry (a headache pill will say acetaminophen 500mg, do YOU know what acetaminophen actually is? What is its composition?) also you seem to imply you trust the FDA. The FDA has given full approval for the vaccine. Is that not good enough for you now?
Stop showing off how much of an idiot you are. With labels you can research the formula of these compounds and what elements consist of the make up. I guess that’s too advanced for you to understand and you think that you need a chemistry degree. Charlatan
I still don’t understand your point. If you are so knowledgeable about chemistry, the composition of the vaccine is publicly available online. Just google it.
So you can research “what elements consist of the makeup” of headache medicine but not a vaccine? Make it make sense 🤦♂️
Thalidomide got full approval too
CNS: Yes, 60 years ago. The Thalidomide disaster led to tougher rules for the testing and licensing of drugs in most countries. This is the silliest of the anti-vax arguments.
Thalidomide is not a vaccine.
