How is the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine being distributed?
Pfizer has activated its extensive U.S. and European manufacturing network, including thousands of highly skilled U.S. workers in multiple states and localities, to prepare to produce the COVID-19 vaccine. We currently have the capacity to produce 4 billion doses annually, pending demand.
Influenza they reckon could be scaled up to between 6-8 billion annually, if needed.
"A teenager has described a "freaky" late-night encounter with a man wearing a "gimp suit".
The 19-year-old... said the man was "unpredictable, flopping to the floor, writhing and grunting"."
Presumably that is why.
Please tell me what you mean by "capitalist business practices".
"Ignoring warnings" is not a character flaw unique to "capitalists".
Mate if you want to moan about capitalism in healthcare go and find an American community on Lemmy.
This is a publicly funded NHS hospital.
And before anyone makes any assumptions, I am not suggesting that's a bad thing.
Brown was extremely popular among members of the Labour party, and never had a snowball's chance in hell in a general election.
Bit of a pattern there.
Eventually you have to grow up and accept that the perfect is the enemy of the good.
I don't know. He was re-elected with a majority of 66 in 2005, two years after Iraq started, and then in 2007 the Labour party membership forced him out in favour of Brown, who promptly lost the 2010 election to the Tories.
I'll take Blair Mk II in office over Corbyn in opposition any day.
Ah yes, those terrible Blair years. If only the Major government had kept going for longer.
"Contemporarily speaking, the term carpetbagger refers to roving financial opportunists, often of modest means, who spot investment opportunities and aim to benefit from a set of circumstances to which they are not ordinarily entitled."
Those without have to take the same risk regardless of whether or not it's offered for sale at Boots.
No, I don't see that as particularly helpful.
Global annual influenza vaccine manufacturing capacity is around 1.68 billion doses. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10309624/
Pfizer alone can churn out 4 billion COVID doses annually. https://www.pfizer.com/science/coronavirus/vaccine/manufacturing-and-distribution
I eat more than the minimum required to live despite others living in poverty, and I use more energy than the minimum despite others living in poverty, and I bet you do too. I'm not going to pretend that refusing to get privately vaccinated against COVID is going to change anything except my risk of serious adverse outcomes from exposure to COVID.
Well you are free to suspect that.
But I'm not going to put the health of my family on hold pending the (impossible) total eradication of global health inequity.
