“The vaccine passport is for certain discretionary activities, such as restaurants, movies, gyms. Not because these places are high risk. We’re not actually seeing Covid transmission in these settings. It’s really to create an incentive.”
– Dr. Patricia Daly CMO, Vancouver Coastal Health.
You shan’t be considered vaccinated until the 15th day after the last dose on the evolving schedule, and so were you to be 1 of the rarefied to perish as a result of an adverse reaction 13 days post dose, the reports will note you as an un-vaccinated individual who perished from covid, and your name will suffer posthumously by the ire of the clamoring masses who chatter about the bad behavior of the unvaxxed.

Vaccination produces greater amounts of circulating antibodies than natural infection. But a new study suggests that not all memory B cells are created equal. While vaccination gives rise to memory B cells that evolve over a few weeks, natural infection births memory B cells that continue to evolve over several months, producing highly potent antibodies adept at eliminating even viral variants.
The findings highlight an advantage bestowed by natural infection rather than vaccination, but the authors caution that the benefits of stronger memory B cells do not outweigh the risk of disability and death from COVID-19.
At this point, she said, those who are able to be vaccinated but choose not to do so aren’t just doing the equivalent of driving without a seatbelt — they’re driving drunk.
“Not being vaccinated is driving drunk. You are actually risking others,” Ravitsky said.
At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated.
“Just like every other chief medical officer of health across the country. I had a mandate and the legal authority to speak to the public about the issues related to health. I was fully aware, however, that if I were wildly off side with what the provincial health minister and government believed, it could make my position challenging, and that if I was too far off the mark too often, the government could render me ineffective or fire me all together.”
