They’re saying it could take 5-7 months to get it out to the gen pop in America

That’s a lot of time to suffer

Yeah. But our losers aren't even going to do anything till god knows when. They don't seem to be affording it the urgency it needs. What about the people in nursing and care homes who need it now? What about the health workers who are putting their lives in danger treating the sick? Can they wait till after Christmas? At the earliest? I'm not asking them to rush into anything, but they could have some sort of a better timeline for us than "the next short while"!

Ah. Looks like I may owe our govt an apology...

From RTE (Irish TV) news:

Mr Martin (our taoiseach/prime minister) said that January and February will see a limited volume of vaccines available, but enough for the most vulnerable groups.

The bigger volumes will come in March, April and May as other vaccines come on stream and other vaccine manufacturing ramps up around the world, he said.

He said that people need to be aware that the optimal period for a vaccination programme will be May and June when things open up and that this staged timeline approach depends on the availability and manufacturing of the vaccine.

"We need to see how things play out over the next couple of months in particular… to see exactly what the European Medicines Agency says about these vaccines.

"They haven't been authorised yet and I think it's important that while there has been real speed in getting us to this point" he said.

Over 300 students still missing after Nigeria school attack (from @AP) https://apnews.com/article/bc4d4302f...dcf79ab403d956

Nigeria isn’t a country; it’s an apocalypse without end.

https://freedom.press/news/2020-repo...s-arrested-us/

Quote:
The numbers are staggering. Arrests of journalists skyrocketed by more than 1200% in comparison to 2019. In just one week, from May 29 - June 4, more reporters were arrested in the U.S. than in the previous three years combined. Arrests occurred in more than two dozen cities across the country. And more than 36% of the arrests were accompanied by an assault: journalists were beaten, hit with rubber bullets or other projectiles or covered in chemical agents, like tear gas or pepper spray.

The vast majority of these arrests occurred while journalists were documenting the historic, nationwide protests over the police killing of George Floyd and in support of Black Lives Matter.

It’s hard to imagine turning back the clock on this type of fascism

But I thought the protesters were the problem.
