He should had called the local child services

Russian sent millions and millions of doses of its coveted vaccine to poorer countries who couldn't develop their own.

For that reason local Russians have to bear the brunt of Russia's humanitarian efforts.

Russia has only able to produce 35 million doses so far, most for use at home with 15 million sent abroad - but just 19.5 million Russians have received at least one dose

Russia has vaccine production issues, and Sputnik V is harder to produce since it uses 2 different adenovirus vectors on the 1st dose vs. the 2nd dose (so they can't just mass-produce 1 big batch, but rather they have to mass-produce 2 separate batches)

"Russia Struggles to Meet Demand for Its Covid-19 Vaccine - Moscow’s Sputnik V shot offered hope as coronavirus cases surged in developing world, but shipments have been hit by regulatory, production problems"

“While Russia has been quite successful in selling it, they are now facing significant challenges in following up with doses,” said Andrea Taylor, assistant director of programs at Duke University’s Global Health Innovation Center.

Some 35 million doses have been made so far, mostly domestic production aimed mainly at the local population. Moscow has announced manufacturing deals with factories in China, South Korea and Turkey, among others, though these are yet to start mass production.

But Russia is late on some deliveries and analysts tracking the rollout say it lacks global production capacity to fill the orders. So far, it has delivered only about 15 million doses.

Mexican and Argentine authorities have reported delays in shipments of the vaccine’s second dose, which takes longer to produce, leaving them unable to complete the full vaccination cycle in some cases.

Sputnik V uses a genetically altered form of a common virus, known as adenovirus, as a vehicle for genetic material from the coronavirus. The vaccine’s ingredients are then grown in so-called bioreactors of some 2,000 liters where small changes in variables like temperature, air pressure or pH levels affect the yield.

Unlike other adenovirus-based vaccines like AstraZeneca, Sputnik V uses a different adenovirus for the second shot, which takes longer to grow, public health and vaccine experts said. Getting foreign manufacturers up to speed with the process takes additional time.

Indeed, those 2 own-goal were unfortunate.

Yep, by this count, Portugal has already scored whopping 7 goals; 2 for their opponents! lol

Don't let the more dangerous Delta variant ruin the recent gains - nip it in the bud

The ultimate solution to this is to: Stop. Making. More. Variants.

And the way to stop making more variants in its tracks is to: Stop. Spreading. The. Virus.

Every time the virus spreads, the more chances we give it to create even more new variants

So stop spreading the virus

Dunno why people wanna keep spreading the virus and create more variants

Officials are now rushing to reintroduce pandemic restrictions and roll out new beds dedicated to coronavirus patients.

On Saturday, Saint Petersburg announced it would restrict access to its main Euro 2020 fan zone on Konyushenaya Square to 3,000 people, down from 5,000, having earlier banned food sales in the fan zones.

It overtook Britain on Thursday as the European country having suffered the most Covid deaths, reaching 128,911 by Saturday. Kremlin critics argue the real figure is far higher due to undercounting by authorities.

Even Russia has to deal with this crisis of physics: hospitals/healthcare have limits - how are ya going to respond with limited resources

That's a real-world problem everyone has to find a solution for, when hospitals/healthcare get filled to capacity

The number of shots is about three times as many as announced during the U.S. delegation visit to Taiwan. Taipei has accused Beijing of hampering its efforts to secure enough doses.

It's about saving people's lives - complaining about this would be beyond the pale

Paid holiday, or time-and-a-half for workers

What's not to like

Athletics is one of the most watched parts of the Olympics

If they protest against the Tokyo Olympics

Portugal just couldn't stop scoring goals!

Visitors would have to follow a country's visa requirements

If Japan requires this, they'd have to follow Japan's requirements too

but don't expect the science to convince them to add Sputnik-V, or the Sinos, or the Iranian and Cuban ones, EVER.

Their manufacturers have to submit their vaccines for approval first - but the process of approval means they have to release more information about their vaccines

So you have to ask the questions:

1) Why aren't there more information about their vaccines? Seriously, what do ya know about them from credible, peer-reviewed publications?

2) Why don't their manufacturers submit their vaccines to the process of approval and scrutiny?

CONMEBOL tournament has more and more people getting infected because Brazil hasn't taken care of its infections

Historically low turnout because many candidates were barred from running

They prosecute only when they have 99% confidence

Problem with that is a lot of crimes are let go simply because they don't want to prosecute even a "good-but-not-99%-good" chance

So, he's saying that Naomi-chan needs to find a corner to go cry in, isn't he?

No, she's saying Osaka should get help from professionals to get back on track

Brooks Koepka vs. Bryson DeChambeau

Bad blood

....an d a of the sickness was caused by the ill-thought out radical lockdowns and the resulting economic and health problems.

More people would had died without the lockdowns when the hospitals and healthcare workers were at capacity

I keep asking people this question: when the hospitals are full, and healthcare workers are working at their fullest hours - what is your solution?

If ya don't have a solution to that real-world problem

"Iranians and Americans Support A Mutual Return to JCPOA"

https://www.thechicagocouncil.org/research/public-opinion-survey/iranians-and-americans-support-mutual-return-jcpoa

About six in ten Americans favor US participation in a nuclear deal with Iran and half of Iranians (51%) approve of the JCPOA. This is the highest percentage of Iranians supporting the JCPOA since May 2019 though much lower than levels of support in 2016–2017, before the United States withdrew from the accord in 2018.

Seven in ten Iranians (69%) support their country returning to the limits called for under the nuclear agreement if the United States begins fulfilling its obligations under the JCPOA.

What about what she did to the Rohupungas?

Rohingya

And the junta can't - because that would implicate themselves as well. The junta are responsible for the Rohingya too - probably more responsible

NY will reach herd immunity shortly - way ahead of many other states

China will “never give up the right to maintain peace but unswervingly defend our sovereignty, security and development interests," the mission said.

Lol, they're calling it defense by first claiming unilaterally that something is theirs

Ex: they're claiming most of the South China Sea theirs, then calling it defense - yet nobody except China, no international institution, has ever recognized the baseless Nine-Dash line

Either way, I hope the Sputnik vaccine has a better safety track record than the Western ones.

We can only hope because there's not much information from Sputnik V. The less information, the more it makes people more suspicious

The Western vaccines are being PROVEN in the real world in real-time that they're very safe. HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of people are currently being vaccinated - and very few are having serious cases (you have a better chance of being hit by lightning - 1 in 500,000)

Meanwhile, Republicans gave Blacks the lowest unemployment in U.S. history.

One thing does not negate all other things

That's like saying "my best friend is black" or "I have a gay relative" negates all other things you do

I know, these athletes don't get paid to use their brains

Actually, athletes do get paid to use their brains - that's why they watch film of opponents and formulate strategies

(And let's not forget that, in his own words, Trump was an athlete)

at least they don't expand their influence by using World War I and II as the great united states of freedom and democracy america did.

Someone doesn't know their global history:

The US was hardly in WW1 - they were there for just 1 year! After WW1, they mostly left the global stage again

As for WW2, would you rather the Nazis and Japanese nationalists expand their influence instead?! Because that's the alternative

Russian people don't trust Sputnik V - that's why there's low vaccination rate

Bolsonaro is a hero for not submitting to globalist demands to lock down his country.

And for making Brazil the #2 deadliest with half a million Covid deaths of Brazilians - he's a hero to their families

That's why he'd likely lose his re-election to Lula

"Polls show Brazil's Bolsonaro faces record disapproval, pressure from Lula"

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-politics-bolsonaro/polls-show-brazils-bolsonaro-faces-record-disapproval-pressure-from-lula-idUSKBN2B9317

Brazilians’ disapproval of President Jair Bolsonaro’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis is at a record high and he may face a tough campaign for re-election next year, according to new polls, as Brazil struggles with its worst pandemic surge yet.

A Datafolha survey, released late on Tuesday, showed 54% of Brazilians regard Bolsonaro’s handling of the crisis as bad or awful. A separate poll by PoderData showed two leftist rivals could beat Bolsonaro in a potential runoff vote in October 2022.

1st - Wasabi

2nd - Bourbon

Someone in the judge panel is hungry

In other words, Iran will become a nuclear nation.

They are allowed now, since there's no more deal

Like they've done before, states could put limitations on out-of-state visitors from other states with vaccination problems

b) The current vaccines are a result of Trump "operation warp speed" program.

Not Pfizer. Pfizer made it a point to say that they did not use US government money

Even the Russian people don't trust Russia's action of speedying up Sputnik V by bypassing protocols

That action backfired
