How very on brand for DIT. Ok I got my laughs for tonight now I’m done. If anyone really does know about vaccine IP I’m super curious- paging Whineminster. Ahhh I don't know anything about vaccines bro. ....only thing I know is that I got one. Maybe the US gubmint is keeping it close to the chest as it gives us an advantage on the world stage....or maybe they're not happy with the amount of microchips in the Vax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Is someone actually confused as to why a giant pharmaceutical company that is obsessed with profits wants to keep the incredibly lucrative vaccine IP to itself for as long as possible? Really? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like everything else- it’s not a black and white issue which is hard for people to comprehend. There is something else going on (personally I think it’s language buried in a contract somewhere) and I’ll make some calls tomm am to try and find out.

TalcottWx Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 US just announced it is releasing raw covid materials to India 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 We ate with our cousins (all 4 of us fully vaccinated) at a nice place indoors last night. Damn I missed this! Didn’t realize how much. The place is about 2.5 miles from our house and my wife and I are already planning to walk there and back come summer. The restaurant was full and tables had a reasonable amount of separation between them. The last time we were there was pre pandemic and about double the capacity. Food and drink were great! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current 7 day average daily death rate is around 2700. The 7 day average for positives is around 300,000. The US has had similar numbers back in January. The population of India is 1.6 billion. Even if the numbers of reported dead and positives are double, the percentages still dwarf what the US had. Doesn’t make it any less terrible, but a little perspective. Hopefully they’ll be able to use what we send them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spike is going straight up for them, vaccines are in short supply, and the country is packed with much less adequate resources (oxygen) than we have. They might catch up to us very quickly in terms of per capita numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might catch up to us very quickly in terms of per capita numbers. We’ll see where it goes. It won’t go up forever. It’ll peak and drop on its own no matter what any intervention looks like. India is very densely populated where the population is, especially in southern India. Infrastructure is awful, sanitation is non existent, and the hospital system is just as abysmal. The other thing that’s not discussed is the caste system. This is only a guess, but I would bet a months pay that a lot of the sick and dead are lower caste Dalits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many consider the mask mandates and vaxx as two separate things. At least they got the first one, chances for serious COVID illness seems to plummet with even one poke. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfish55 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 My in-laws in Nova Scotia had their first shot a few weeks ago. Their second shot is scheduled for July 26. Canada is spreading out the doses by over 100 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d be curious on @WhitinsvilleWX’s takes on how much the second shot does towards immunity or lowering chances of a severe illness. If you get like say 80% on the first shot and the second shot adds that extra 15% to 95%... the first shot seems like the main goal to get to the population.
