Got my second shot yesterday, first doses are being given to 20 year olds here so I hope this ends soon. Winter isn't helping

Europe in detail

Russia hanging on to the top spot, UK giving chase. Austria doing the best this week.

The border closure has been extended again, to July 21st. Meanwhile nearly 75% of the eligible population has received their first shot and 20% has been fully vaccinated in Canada. After the 26th I should be able to book an appointment for a second dose, my wife gets her second shot next Thursday if all goes well.

Countries using inactivated vaccines should seriously consider a booster dose. I mean, we always knew they were generating antibody titers comparable to a single mRNA vaccine dose, and lower than Jannsen's, and both trials and now the real-world results are showing.

At least over here, most vaccines should be either Pfizer or AZ going forward... so I hope for results more like the UK than Chile.

Weekly update. Trends are reversing, new hopefully smaller waves are starting

Europe in detail


The olympic games are set to go ahead in less than a month. Meanwhile Japan appears to be starting to turn into another wave. Bad timing to start building a delta variant wave with less than a month to go.

Tokyo Olympics just got an important no-confidence vote — from Japan’s emperor

In denmark its much the same.
55% have had 1 jab, and 31% have had 2 (fully vaccinated).

we have like ~180-200 daily new cases, and ~60 hospitalised, and 17 in intensive care (11 on respirators currently).
Positive procentage of tests, seem to be around ~0.20 to 0,24% (seems stable, dispite opening everything back up basically) ....
and the amount of people hospitalised and in intensive care seem to be dropping.

Delta varient, and the Delta plus (or super) is scary though.
The fact that yesterday the UK had over 16,000 new daily cases, dispite them haveing done so well with vaccinations... sucks.
It will likely spread to rest of world soon, and repeat.  Though supposedly only 10-15% of the new infected, had 2 doses of vaccines.

Looks like Israel reports turned out to be true regarding myocarditis link with the pfizer vaccine. Before that, it was the EU who "detected" the link between clots and AZ. I am only bringing this up because I don't know if the vaccines given in third world countries will ever be put to a real test if patients don't have the privilege to seek medical help from their family doctors or emergency departments like patients in Europe & Israel do.

And how big of a percentage were those cases? Because seeing the number of people that are dying every day from the actual sickness, I'm totally fine with taking the risk of getting a few cases of myocarditis and clots.

And I wasn't suggesting otherwise? 

Apparently its pretty rare (we're talking like ~50 cases out of 5million jabs), and primarily happends to young adult men (30 and below).
Inflamation of the heart muscles is serious though..... the good news is that in most cases it just goes away on its own, without long term effects.

I saw a video of a doctor saying he thinks that everyone before the jab (with these mRNA vaccines) should be told, dont do any hard labour or workouts, upto a week after takeing the first and 2nd jab. As that would basically safeguard, most people (these young men, that take it) from getting long term effects from it.

I think in the USA, theres been like ~80-140 cases (off camra, confirmed, "several dozen cases atleast" comment).
In isreal its like 50-60ish? or so, and theres been some in europe as well.

So this isnt super common.
In isreal I think it was like 50 cases out of more than 5million vaccinations.
Also this is almost exclusively happending with young men (adults 30 or under).
And alot of it (those that get lasting issues), is because of active lifestyles (ei. hard labour or workouts).

Basically, just dont stress your heart, a week or so, after the jab.
Take it nice and slow, if your worried about heart issues resulting from vaccination (esp. if your a young man).

Thanks for the information. I am double vax'ed with pfizer and I had covid19. But good to know for booster vaccines.
