In a trial of more than 44,000 participants, federal regulators said the vaccine was 72% effective in the US, 66% effective in Latin America and 57% effective in South Africa, where the B1351 variant is widespread.Since they don't say what "effective" means

By reilo Go To PostSince they don't say what "effective" meansThose numbers seem not ideal but preventing 100% of hospitalizations and deaths in the trial is great news.
By diehard Go To PostThose numbers seem not ideal but preventing 100% of hospitalizations and deaths in the trial is great news.For a single dose 70% seems really good

Preventing 100% of deaths and hospitalizations is amazing
Did others get a popup on their phones about a contact tracing app and enabling it? This would be a state based thing but just curious how many got something like that.

TBF if the federal government did it, it probably would have been just as bad as the UK's contract tracing app.

Not sure I agree with any implication that our CT app was bad for any other reason than it being a grift by private entities.
By LabouredPatriot Go To PostNot sure I agree with any implication that our CT app was bad for any other reason than it being a grift by private entities.I believe there was some strange decisions around not wanting to use evil American Google/Apple API's but i might be misremembering

Brazil's pandemic numbers at all time high these last couple of weeks
Some states going into full lockdown
Curfew on the others that aren't going into lockdown
Many cities with health public and private systems almost on full capacity
Vaccination going extremely slow
Can't see things getting fine for a long time here

By Pedja Go To PostHas it affected Bolsonaro's approval ratings?Yes but the majority who was fanatic with him before the pandemic it's still afterwards
the cunt keeps aglomerating, denies the positives of using masks, doesn't push population towards vaccination, behavies like a moron all the time basically.
Wait, if he's not pushing vaccination how does your government expect the crisis to end? Herd immunity?
By Hitch Go To PostWait, if he's not pushing vaccination how does your government expect the crisis to end? Herd immunity?Good question
I have no answer. The'yre that incompetent

"In the Pfizer contract it's very clear: 'we're not responsible for any side effects.' If you turn into a crocodile, it's your problem," Bolsonaro said on Thursday.
"If you become superhuman, if a woman starts to grow a beard or if a man starts to speak with an effeminate voice, they will not have anything to do with it," he said, referring to the drug manufacturers.
Bolsonaro said that once a vaccine has been certified by Brazil's regulatory agency Anvisa, "it will be available for everyone that wants it. But me, I won't get vaccinated."
"Some people say I'm giving a bad example. But to the imbeciles, to the idiots that say this, I tell them I've already caught the virus, I have the antibodies, so why get vaccinated?"
Over here it's a light version of that, but ignorance is not spreading as much because overall people are OK with vaccines despite the government's best efforts to keep gatherings at an all time high or not being tough on mandatory mask use. Our socialized medicine system is bankrupt and corrupt, but it still benefits poor people the most, so the masses are used to lining up for hours for what little free medicine they can get without a fuzz.
If anything, all the anti-vaxxer moves come from ignorant celebrities taking their cues from 'murican twitter or shit organizations like the church.

By Elchele Go To PostGood thing you voted for him tho lolWhy are you such a fucking miserable cunt? Vini has never said who he voted for and even if he may have it's not even your fucking country. Vini has been nothing but friendly to everyone and has never said shit to you but your fucking mentality is so warped from being poor that you lash at people who have done nothing to you or anyone. You know nothing about the actual reality in Brasil yet you feel the right to deride a genuine individual.
By FootbalIFan Go To PostDon't get it/don't find it funnySame. I feel angry in the same way Lunatic posted when people imply that me/my family deserve the shit things Republican politicians do in Texas and Louisiana because some people in those gerrymandered and voter-suppressed states voted for them.
By Kibner Go To PostSame. I feel angry in the same way Lunatic posted when people imply that me/my family deserve the shit things Republican politicians do in Texas and Louisiana because some people in those gerrymandered and voter-suppressed states voted for them.It's such a shit perspective to just put everything on someone who you don't even know because of how their entire country/state voted. They don't even know you or your current situation yet they feel the right to judge you. That kind of shit is discrimination pure and simple.
