Either he is just monumentally deluded or he is outright malicious. Either way that fucker should be fired.

If that's a red area, I highly doubt that sheriff will be voted out.

Meanwhile the Moscow-based Association of Clinical Trials Organizations (Acto), which represents the world's top drug companies in Russia, urged the health ministry to postpone approval until after phase-three trials.

Acto executive director Svetlana Zavidova told the Russian MedPortal site that a decision on mass vaccination had been carried out after a combined first- and second-phase tests on 76 people, and that it was impossible to confirm the efficacy of a drug on this basis.

So they've tested it on 76 whole people and are approving it for release. That's a big no thanks from me.

So they skip the third phase of the test and use it on a large scale.That doesn't sound like a good thing.The third phase involves hundreds to thousands of people and lasts for months.It usually takes months for regulators to review the vaccine after that.So the Russians skip at least half a year of research and development.If there are some problem with this vaccine, many people around the world will not dare to accept other vaccines.It will hurt people's confidence in the healthcare industry.

This is season their R0 goes up there. Hopefully they can contain with contact tracing.

It's better because they know who the cases are linked to. They haven't found the source of the infection, but two Americool coolstore facilities have been closed, one in Mount Wellington in Auckland, and the other at Auckland International Airport, with surface testing being conducted.

At the moment the Ministry of Health thinks it's human-to-human, but they're investigating all possibilities. Picking it up off packaging would be the best case scenario, dependent on arrival, but would cause some headaches for imports and exports.

Yeah, I was wondering where the “protect” part of “Protect and serve” went.

Legally the police are under no obligation to protect and serve.

Nevertheless, the Court found that the government had no affirmative duty to protect any person, even a child, from harm by another person. “Nothing in the language of the Due Process Clause itself requires the State to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens against invasion by private actors," stated Chief Justice Rehnquist for the majority, "even where such aid may be necessary to secure life, liberty, or property interests of which the government itself may not deprive the individual" without “due process of the law.”

The Court went on to reaffirm the DeShaney ruling that there is no affirmative right to aid by the government or the police found in the U.S. Constitution, and thus no legal recourse could be brought thereunder. The “no duty to protect” rule remains unwavering and the law today.
