I report I finally feeling alive and strong I had higher temperature about 24 hours. Yesterday I felt sick. Today I feel completely healthy. Sore arm and headache in area of my eyes persist though.

The vaccination drive is picking up steam here, because more and more vaccines are finally delivered (mainly thanks to BioNTech/Pfizer). Thursday and Friday, over 100,000 people got vaccinated on each day (Belgian population: 11.5 million). Currently, over 20% of the adult population has had at least a first dose. It's still going by age, and my parents (both 68 y/o) have received their invitation letter for next week (Pfizer).
It should now be going faster and faster, and hopefully by the end of June or early July, every adult will have gotten the chance to get a first shot. Remarkable differences in vaccination take-up between Flanders and Brussels/Wallonia, by the way: significantly higher in Flanders (85-90%) than in the south (65-70%). France is pretty vaccine-skeptic, somehow, and this seems to partially trickle down to my French-speaking compatriots.
Good to hear you're doing better!I report I finally feeling alive and strong I had higher temperature about 24 hours. Yesterday I felt sick. Today I feel completely healthy. Sore arm and headache in area of my eyes persist though.
Good to hear you're doing better!
I had what felt like a sinus headache after my first Pfizer dose for a few days, but then it went back to wherever it had come from. No biggie, it just means the vaccine is doing what it's supposed, second dose of Pfizer coming up next weekend.

It shows that vaccination is not sufficient alone to halt outbreaks. Viruses can spread exponentially. Humans can't vaccinate exponentially. Chile at ~40% vaccination is still well below herd immunity so R can still be >1. If the USA had more variants like Chile, we would also have similar issues. Michigan looks a lot like them right now.What about Chile guys? https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/chile/
With their vaccination pace this surge is very worrying.
Wow, fascinating!

Two more deaths, another nine temporary facial paralysis cases after Covid vaccinations - Hong Kong Free Press HKFP
Two more Hong Kong people have died and another nine have suffered temporary facial paralysis after receiving Covid-19 vaccines, an expert panel has reported. The latest deaths mean 10 people have now died in the city after vaccination, nine of whom received the Chinese-made Sinovac jab and one...hongkongfp.com

This is old news which I've already mentioned upstream - Think it's up to 13 deaths which in most health authorities have investigated and found no DIRECT cause and effect relationship - This is from close to a million vaccinated people - Hong kong's biggest issue is a general reluctance to be vaccinated - HK's aim is to get at least 50% vaccination rates - This may seem low but all reports fail to exclude under 18's who are unable to be vaccinated which is often 20 to 25% of the population - So when authorities discuss 70 to 80% vaccination rates they are really talking about as a percentage of around 80% of the population.
That can be common even without COVID-19. For a while, there was a drive to get Boston the Summer games and the locals basically revolted over the idea. Similar when a DC/Baltimore bid was under consideration.
I think the data is more positive than negative. The main takeaway should be the importance of both vaccinations to contain the variants.Not good for those who counted on protection from some of the variants:

This is actually pretty sad as the prognosis doesn't sound good for this guy. Imagine the joy & relief of finally receiving your Covid vaccine. You're happy, joyful & much relieved that the vaccine that so you eagerly waited for is going to protect you from getting Covid or at least becoming serious ill from an infection. But 5 weeks later you contract the virus and are now fighting for your life.
Deplorable!...and this one of the reasons I'm not interested in these vaccines!

Don't forget the 5G impact!Wow! It looks like the vaccine gave him the virus! Add that to microchips and it's a deadly mix.
