''Covax will give Africa 20% of its vaccines. And there’s no way to get rid of Covid with 20% vaccination, we need at least 60%. Europe aims for 80%, US is trying to vaccinate everybody. They vaccinate, impose travel restrictions and then Africa becomes “the continent of Covid”.

It is incorrect to use adverse events and side effects interchangeably. A side effect is any health problem shown by studies to be caused by a vaccine, e.g. sore arm. An AE is an undocumented pharmacological event that is unforeseen, but not necessarily causally related
A total of 277 adverse effects from the vaccine have been reported across the country. These include headaches, and other side effects. The majority of these are reported to have cleared within a 2 day period.

Covid-19 Season 1: China. Season 2: Europe. Season 3: USA. Season 4: Africa. Kenya should leverage on existing HIV/TB infrastructure & experience for mass screening, testing, tracing, and use of Genexpert platforms for testing. 17 MPs have tested positive. I fear for the masses.

Data from other countries show that Covid vaccines work. Would love to analyze local data but...... Smallpox, polio, measles, etc. were controlled or eradicated with vaccines. We have been doing this vaccine thing since, at least, 1796. When you turn comes, please get vaccinated.
