Grenada could benefit from US donation of Covid-19 vaccines

Grenada and other Caribbean countries stand to benefit from a United States initiative to make Covid-19 vaccines available to countries in need.

Prime Minister, Dr the Rt. Hon Keith Mitchell, disclosed this following a telephone conversation with US Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Linda Taglialatela, who confirmed that the Caribbean is high on the priority list.

On Monday, US President Joe Biden announced the country’s intention to ship 80 million vaccine doses around the world, to help in the fight against Covid-19.

It is anticipated that the bulk of the vaccines will be AstraZeneca, but will also include Moderna, Pfizer and the Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

Dr Mitchell has welcomed the planned distribution of vaccines, noting that successfully fighting the pandemic requires a collaborative effort worldwide.

The Prime Minister said, “I commend the approach being taken by the United States and by other countries that have already donated vaccine supplies. Given the widespread nature of this pandemic, we must seek to fight it on all fronts. The world is a global village, therefore the success or failure of any country in this fight, will have serious implications for others. Ambassador Taglialatela has assured me that Caribbean countries are among those being considered for the donated supplies and I certainly look forward to seeing that come to fruition soon.”

Grenada has received just over 50,000 doses of AstraZeneca to date. So far, 16,334 Grenadians have received their first dose of the vaccine and 7,219 are now fully vaccinated.

    Not substantiated at, not nearly as much as the efficacy of vaccines. The pharmacological mechanism of ivermectins potential use against viral agents has not been elucidated. It causes electrical conduction problems in the tissues of parasites while notably ignoring human tissues. To endorse it with such a broad and ignorant claim is dangerous.

    Thrombotic adverse events have been solved using argatroban, simply treat the rare chance of it occuring after the adenovirus vector. Screen for Platelet-factor4 antibodies and call it a day. Not sure you have the technology or the required medications in grenada though. So perhaps its better to stay on your high horse and claim the sunlight will cure you. Best of luck.

    Astrazeneca is banned in the USA. The FDA has not approved its use. As Biden said, once FDA approves, he will ship it of to other countries. US knows yhe danger of Astrazeneca. Why is Grenada receiving it?

    The WHO wants us all to be fully vaccine by the end of the year so we already been given 50,000 doses of AstraZeneca,
    I think we should continue with the above as we already got nearly have of our population on that brand so it would be in our best interest to stick with that brand .

      Storm says the WHO want us Vaccinated so wecmust continue.

      Well who the hell is the WHO to start DICTATING to Free people their personal Health Care?

      The WHO is contolled by an Elite of richmen like Gates and the Chinese Government. Then there is an Evil Psychopathic Cabal in the UN and CDC and people like Dr Faucci, who all own Pattents for the Experimental Vaccines and the PCR tests.

      Even the lowly doctors are on the scam and riding that gravy train, in the UK, their doctors get 25 pounds for every one they inject. One wonder they are all dtiving around in Fancy Range Rovers.

      So many conflicts of ibtrest and downright evil by thr psychopaths that manipulate a SarsCiv2 virus that is not anywhere as dangerous as they first claim. What is goung on in the name of Glibal Health is criminal and pure evil.

      It’s a donation you don’t have a choice unless you are paying.

    The USA doesn’t want those vaccines so they are giving them away. Why do not they want them is the big question.
    Use Ivermectin. It works better and is safer than all those untested vaccines.

    Could Benefit and then….maybe not.

    Experimental Vaccine Adverse Events are a serious issue which stupid negligent doctors ignore at the public peril.

    Despite the fact that Experimental Vaccines Adverse Reactions are being deliberately ignored and under reported even the official Government numbers are rising.
    In the first five months there have been more Reported Vaccine Adverse Events in the US, than the previous 20 years combined.

    The UK Official Yellow Card Website…. shows that 34 Million received Experimental Vaccines, with 757,564, Adverse Event Reactions and 1,102 deaths after Vaccination.

    Incidentally up to yesterday the count was up to 1400 UK deaths after injections with the lifesaving Experimental Vaccines.

    Its a similar story in the US with 227 million Experimental Vaccines and over 4500 plus deaths after injection.

    Bear in mind many of these deaths have been dismissed by the Medical Mafia as not related to the Experimental Vaccines, despite the usual blood, lungs, heart and brain typically failing after receiving the Experimental Vaccine.

    On average the deaths increased in weeks, from 1 in 80,000, to 1 in 60,000, to 1in 40,000 to 1 in 30,000 to currently about 1 in 23,000 for those injected with this lifesaving Experimental Vaccine.

    May be non of this Vaccine Adverse Event is a big deal or really matter that much. After all, based on the current numbers only about 4 or 5 or maybe 6 Grenadians could possibly die from the lifesaving Experimental Vaccines. Yet it is troubling, as the number of deaths keep rising.

    I read that the US is now giving Grenada Vaccines. Am I cynical to think its likely because the US cant get a resistant well informed 40% of Americans to inject the Experimental Vaccines?
    So before the shelf life expires, Chou Biden is now giving it away to countries like Grenada.

    Hell the US is even paying Americans and giving away lottery prizes if they sign up and inject the Experimental Trump Juice. Uptake was slow, but as some people will do anything for money, so I expect injections may rise soon.

    But still, maybe I am getting to concerned over nothing. Maybe, its all just another storm in a teacup. But thats one life-saving Experimental Covid Teaparty, I personally refuse to join, no matter how many kind invites or rude threats.

    I will just have to trust my good old 99.97% Efficient Immune System to kill off a 0.03% dangerous Virus that seem to have a liking for fat sickly old people about 83 years old.

    Anyhoo, if anyone is interested in what real caring doctors have to say, unlike the many doctor deaths lying daily to the public face, please check the link below….
