I searched that. They are using a lot of them. 10 million Phizer. But they are using astrosenica? (same), sinovac? (chinese), some others.

Maybe it’s just those vaccines not being as good? Maybe it has more to do with what population has been vaccinated and what population the new cases are in? (the confirmed deaths have gone up a little, but not much) Maybe has to do with testing?
According to Chilean Health Minister Dr. Enrique Paris, the country has acquired or is in the process or receiving 10 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine and an additional 10 million from Sinovac. The country later reached agreements with Covax (WHO), Johnson & Johnson and Astrazeneca to reach the 35.7 million total.
So are we going to vaccinate kids? Just talking with my wife about it and she’s saying it’s pretty uncertain, there’s not much plan for it, not being tested, don’t know when kids under 16 get vaccinated.
Seems like a problem if the chief germ factory in the world is just going to keep stewing in covid.
There are definitely clinical trials with kids being conducted. We considered submitting my son (12) for one but it required like 6 in-person visits and is 90 minutes away.
Well, kids can still be getting people sick and while a lot of adults are vaccinated, a lot aren’t. Are fully vaccinated people in the hospital? (I don’t expect it’s easy to find an answer to this.)
It’s definitely being tested. I’d say o/u at least some kids under 16 getting at least one vaccine approved is about 8 months. I’d take the under on one year for sure.
you seem to be jumping to conclusions? must be the kids! (I don’t expect it’s easy to find any evidence of this.)
bingo, may be it’s the adults getting the adults sick? 20% vaccinated still leaves alot of unvaccinated folks inc. kids.
I suspect that antibodies take nearer 3 weeks than 2 weeks. I also reckon current vaccines still allow some transmission of the new variant, especially the South African variant (hence my posts 10 weeks ago on the topic)
Schools are still remote, lotta people still wfh, masks required at stores, no indoor dining, so not exactly YOLO. Somewhere in between and it really hasn’t changed much one way or the other since like last May or whenever the initial “lockdown” loosened up.
Speculation isn’t really jumping to conclusions, but seems like reasonable speculation.
More to the point of whether or not Chile is scary (in regards to what we should expect in the future) is if vaccinated adults are contracting covid because of the variants.
Sure saved loads of vases / deaths in the US, compared with ALL those other countries where kids returned to school. 536k deaths with remote schools, just imagine where you’d be if US had opened them.
US was and still is YOLOING way more than EU countries. Way more. Even when we factor in OFS ;)
Yes, let’s keep it on topic. I haven’t heard any concerns about Sputnik so I’d rule that concern out.
Micro- kids will be vaccinated. Standard medical ethics makes studying them harder. Studies are in progress. Don’t see why they wouldn’t work or would be unsafe
Kids and schools were the bogey man way back during Covid-19: Chapter One - 12 months have passed, hundreds of studies done but still no evidence kids are killing people. Teachers, worldwide, are still alive. Parents have been proven to be at no greater risk, even when their kids attend in person schooling ya know!
This is basic observation.
Basic germ theory was the vaccinated not transmitting, wasn’t it? " It would go against everything we know…" Covid running circles around basic theories; left, right and centre.
