However, roughly 1 in 3 people worldwide still view the vaccine with distrust and uncertainty. Instead of a safety guarantee, they see the jab as a new risk that must be overcome. And when we look at the countries, which have very different health care systems and distribution plans, different perspectives are beginning to emerge. Confidence in the safety, efficiency and general distribution of the vaccine is very high in China, India and the UK, and lower than the US average. It is possible that uncertainty among the public will decrease as more people get the vaccine, but in March vaccination rates were still very low. 17 percent of respondents worldwide say they have been partially or fully vaccinated, while 83 percent have not received any dose. And it's unclear when vaccines will be available to anyone who wants one. Nearly 4 in 5 respondents who want the vaccine expect to receive it this year - but given the slow pace of global distribution, this seems unlikely. In January, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) predicted that immunization programs for most of the world's population will continue through mid-2022. This is critical, as a slow or uneven rollout jeopardizes the pursuit of herd immunity in the short term. As long as not enough people are vaccinated worldwide, there is a risk that a vaccine-immune variant will develop. It is unknown what proportion of the population needs to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to induce herd immunity.
She and we got scared on July 29th., 2020.
She sneaked out of our house to go to the street fair where farmers sell fruits and vegetables, somewhere nearby, she was infected with covid-19.
Our small town tests all residents. Her result was positive for covid-19. She is 80 years old. She had no symptoms and didn't even transmit it to us.
She says she has taken every precaution against the deadly virus.
Almost 125 thousand lives lost in Brazil until yesterday.
Update of numbers:

The second dose of the Coronavac vaccine. The director of the Butantan institute said that CoronaVac proved to be effective against the Manaus variant, known as P1, and also against three other strains that circulate in the country: from the United Kingdom, South Africa and a last one that appeared in Rio de Janeiro, to P2.
I will be fully immunized in three weeks.
If I have covid-19, it will only be a mild case.
Blood will be collected for the third and last time to check my immunity (research) on April 19th. I didn't feel any side effects. Even today I will have the answer to the second blood collection they took today.

Brazil reaches 8.7 million vaccinated against covid, 4.13% of the population.
In all, 2,975,266 people received the two doses of vaccine, following the recommendation of the laboratories that produce CoronaVac and Oxford / AstraZeneca. The number corresponds to only 1.41% of the Brazilian population.
The bad Brazilian news is:
Brazil reached this Tuesday the worst numbers of the pandemic: there were 1,954 deaths caused by covid-19 in a 24-hour interval, with an average of 1,572 victims of the disease daily in the last week. It is the 11th consecutive day of record in the average of deaths.
Today is also the 48th consecutive day on which the country had a moving average of deaths from covid-19 above 1,000 - the longest period in the entire pandemic. Brazil has already passed a week with an accelerating trend in the average of deaths - today's variation was 39%.
The successive records consolidate a second wave even more lethal than the first in Brazil. Today, the state of São Paulo recorded the record of deaths from the disease in an interval of 24 hours: 517.
It is the eighth consecutive day with more than a thousand deaths counted in a 24-hour interval, the longest sequence in the entire pandemic. In total, there were 268,568 victims since March 2020. The five days with the highest number of victims occurred in March (the numbers do not indicate when the deaths actually occurred, but, when they started counting from the official balance sheets):
From yesterday to today, there have been 69,537 positive diagnoses for the new coronavirus across the country. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the number of infected has reached 11,125,017.

we ran around like crazy today, first to the grocery store to get ingredients for the sauerkraut and kim chi I want to make, then to the bank to deposit our stimulus checks, and to the post office. and after a very short rest, up to Eureka to get our first COVID immunization.
we're both tired tonight, and the dogs were ever so glad to have us home again.
life in the time of corona
Earlier this year Avian Flu struck a flock of critically endangered California Condors. By mid-April, 20 birds (one out of every six in the northern Arizona/southern Utah flock) had died. The first sick birds were found only about three weeks after this shot was taken. Losing that many birds so suddenly set the recovery and reintroduction program back a decade.
Fortunately, no condors have been found sick or dead since April 11. So, for now, the crisis has ebbed.
The organizations which have worked together to reintroduce the condors had the foresight to consider the potential of contagious disease. Today condors have been reintroduced into geographically dispersed locations, the mountains of southern California north of the Los Angeles basin, the Big Sur vicinity of the central California coast, northern Arizona/southern Utah, and in the mountains of Baja California. This reduces the likelihood of an outbreak of disease threatening the entire population.
A bit of good news, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved emergency use of a vaccine to immunize against avian flu, which is being tested in vultures and will soon be given to three condors before proceeding to attempt to vaccinate all the flocks. That will be a monumental task but the people working to save the species will stop at nothing to protect them. And because of them, this condor can represent his species in echoing that song…”I Will Survive.”
This image paints my baby as a pretty, gentle pup but looks can be deceiving! This was actually taken a few weeks ago and he has grown considerably since.
He has finally had his last immunization so we were able to take him for a walk into the big, exciting new world he has barely seen. One of the things I love about poodles (and I will try for an image at some stage) is they don't walk anywhere-they prance.
And prance Harpo did as his paws danced across the ground, just like he was walking on air. There was no time to stop in case it all ended. He just pranced on and on as if he couldn't believe his luck and all the delights, waiting to be explored were put there just for him.
Meet Yoshi
Yoshi was until December 2019 a feral cat who lived in the woods behind our house. Being all of 8 months old, he was an adept hunter, but would sometimes come to our patio and eat the food that we put there for him. When the weather started getting cold in late November/early December, we bought him an insulated outdoor house, which we put on our patio. Over the next few weeks, he began to trust us sufficiently to let us touch him, and even to enter into our sunroom that opens on to the patio. We noticed that he was wounded, had stopped sleeping in his house, and was breathing with great difficulty.
It turned out that he was being bullied by at least one large neighborhood cat who would come looking for him on the patio.
Fearing that he would not survive the bitter cold of 10 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 Celsius), we allowed him in our sunroom and closed the door with him inside.
Over the next weeks, we had him treated for fleas and ticks, got him all of his immunizations, and generally had him checked up. It turns out that he had something called a diaphagmattic hernia, meaning that there was a gap in his diaphragm. This had caused all of his lower intestines to move up into his chest cavity, severely restricting his lungs. We sent him to have surgery in December, and we were given medicine to give him, which we have been giving to him over the last three weeks.
We are happy to report that he is in the best of health, fully recovered, and almost ready to join the other cats in our household.
He has also become a wonderful housecat; friendly, warm, and engaging. Feral cats are not supposed to take easily to home living, but this little guy loves it!

You'll find my best photos (mostly not yet on Flickr) here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...
THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO:
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) you see above - a vixen in the process of shedding her winter fur - was perhaps the luckiest shot I ever got. It was certainly the most unexpected. It was also a dream come true that I'd had ever since I picked up a camera again a few years ago to document the local fauna around my house in Ticino (Switzerland).
It's one of the most special photos to me, and this has nothing to do with its quality (which, compared to most of the gorgeous fox pictures I find here on Flickr, is average at best). But before I tell you how I got the shot, you have to know that foxes are - by far - my favorite wild mammals (sorry dear squirrels and roe deer: I love you guys, but it's not even close 😄).
That wasn't always the case. Believe it or not, I suffered from "Fennecaphobia" as a boy: the fear of foxes (and in case you wondered: I didn't make up that word, it actually exists 😂). To me, these were unholy, demonic creatures and harbingers of death the sole mention of which would make my skin crawl and the hair on the back of my neck stand up - and I'm not kidding.
Writing about it now obviously makes me chuckle; I mean, I spend half of my time in the city where these furry clowns are very common and so well adapted to urban life they'll probably soon start using credit cards and doing their own shopping - but when I was a kid growing up in the countryside near Zurich in the late 70s and early 80s, you would practically never see a wild fox.
This was at the height of Switzerland's effort to eradicate rabies, and foxes (and badgers and many other small mammals) had been gassed in their dens and shot and poisoned in staggering numbers for over a decade, to the point where - while the deadly virus persisted - entire populations of its unlucky potential carriers were eliminated.
The surviving animals were immunized through bait with a vaccine in it - mostly chicken heads that were laid out all over the country - and this approach thankfully worked very well (today, Switzerland is officially free of the deadly disease). But for a period of time which happened to coincide with my early childhood, the fox population in rural areas around Zurich was so decimated and shy, it was practically invisible.
All I knew about foxes were the constant warnings every kid my age heard from their parents: I was to immediately call an adult if I saw one and mustn't EVER try to get near it or touch it. Fat chance there was for that; I think I was in my early teens when I first encountered a wild fox in the forest (and considering I spent most of my free time in those woods as a child, that should tell you something how rare they were).
Not that I complained: there was nothing, and I mean NOTHING I was more afraid of as a child than a fox. These were creatures I had nightmares about; vampires and werewolves or other monsters didn't scare me (they were from a world of fantasy I knew little about) - but here was a real beast of flesh and blood even grownups seemed to be scared of. It could attack you, and its bite would first make you go insane, and then you would die a horrible, slow death.
Well, thankfully no such thing happened to young me 😁, and I guess as is the case with most things we fear as kids, they also fascinate us. So over time, by reading about foxes and watching countless documentaries, I eventually lost my "Fennecaphobia", and the furry goofballs started to grow on me (it certainly also helped that as I got older, rabies wasn't this frightening topic everyone talked about anymore - plus I saw the wonderful Disney cartoons 'Robin Hood' and 'The Fox And The Hound': THAT was definitely instrumental in me overcoming my fears 😊).
Cut to today where I see foxes for what they are: the most adorable, curious, smart and playful creatures in our forests and cities (again: sorry dear squirrels and roe deer fawns 😄 ). And they are so beautiful; I mean, if you've ever seen a red fox in its full, fluffy winter fur and didn't think this was the most gorgeous wild animal, then you should probably have your eyes (and your soul) checked. 😊
But ironically, live encounters with wily fox in the forest - and particularly around my home in Ticino - have been exceedingly rare for me. In fact, over the past 40 years since my mom acquired this little house I now live in, I've only ever met a single fox in the area, and that was nearly 20 years ago.
So imagine my surprise - and my delight - when I finally got to see (and photograph!) one without even having to leave my garden. Here's how that happened: one day in May '22, I was using the zoom of my camera to scan the honeysuckle shrub right outside my garden for lizards, when I suddenly detected movement in the horse pasture behind the shrub.
I immediately adjusted the lens - and the vixen walked right into my viewfinder. I was so excited I nearly had a heart attack. I had time to click five times, then she was gone; my second Ticino fox encounter in 40 years hadn't lasted longer than 7 seconds.
But I was ecstatic: even though I had taken the shots from a distance of at least 30 meters and used the full range of the zoom, they vixen was in focus, and in one of the photos (the one above), even her eyes were visible.
As you can see, Mrs. Fox was in the midst of getting rid of her winter coat, but if she looks a bit ruffled in the photo, that's also because she was most likely raising a few cubs at that time, and little baby foxes aren't exactly tender with their paws and snouts when they plow through mom's fur in the search for milk. I only saw Mama Fox this once, and then never again.
So, that's it; that's the (hi-)story of the shot and my relationship with these beautiful animals, and now you perhaps understand why both are so special to me. By the way, there IS now a fox that visits my garden nearly every night: I've never seen the fella, but I've found his (or her) tracks - as well as the chaos left behind when he/she's raided my compost pile and my buffet for birds. I guess I'll have to get a trail camera one of these days... 😊
As always, many thanks for reading and commenting: have a great start into the new week everyone! ❤🙏😊

The zombie plague had become airborne. Even in the Dark Age, some figured out a solution. Healthcare workers observed that masks stifled the plague’s spread.
Vaccines for healthcare workers to immunize them from the black zombie plague had not been invented. Viruses and vaccines were a few hundred years away from being discovered.
*Writer's note: The comments above are fictional. This is a photo I took from Louisville's Zombie Walk of 2019, where locals dress up as zombies and parade their zombie costumes. Zombies are fake. Vaccines do not turn people into zombies. However, scientists say that the real black plague was airborne. It was figured out during that time that masks help limit the spread of the disease.

Britannica. UNICEF was created in 1946 to provide relief to children in countries devastated by World War II. After 1950 the fund directed its efforts toward general programs for the improvement of children’s welfare, particularly in less-developed countries and in various emergency situations. The organization’s broader mission was reflected in the name it adopted in 1953, the United Nations Children’s Fund. UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1965. It is headquartered in New York City.
Acronym of: United Nations Children’s Fund
Formerly (1946–53): United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund

UNICEF has concentrated much of its effort in areas in which relatively small expenditures can have a significant impact on the lives of the most disadvantaged children, such as the prevention and treatment of disease. In keeping with this strategy, UNICEF supports immunization programs for childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for health services, educational facilities, and other welfare services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have been guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), which affirms the right of all children to “the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health.” UNICEF’s activities are financed by both government and private contributions.

Here's another scene from the Spring Grove cemetery/arboretum.
I wanted to tell you all that I have been ill the past two days, with the effects of the second Covid immunization. That's good, of course, because that means vaccine is working. But it laid me flat. I didn't even turn on my computer the first day after the shot. Last night I went and looked at all your photos and read what you wrote, but that's all the energy I had.
I'll start anew tonight, but my energy is still very low, and I might not comment much. I'll be back to normal soon, though!
I was fortunate to be able to take photos at a branding today. New calves need to be branded and immunized at each ranch in the spring. This is the real deal - not a rodeo or a staged event, and most city folks are unaware that this sort of thing still takes place in areas like the Bear Lake Valley, Idaho.
In this photo a cowboy has roped a calf which is about to have its hind legs roped as well. I plan to post more of the action in the next few days.

10 July 2021: In recent days the figures relating to the coronavirus pandemic in Belgium have taken a turn for the worse. The number of new infections has been rising for around a week now and yesterday (Friday) the average number of daily hospital admissions rose for the first time in weeks. During the week from 30 June to 6 July an average of 697 people tested positive for the coronavirus. This is 81% up on the figures for the previous week. The total number of patients with COVID-19 that are being cared for in the country’s hospitals stands now at 250. Of those hospitalised 95 are on intensive care wards. The basic reproductive rate for coronavirus in Belgium currently stands at 1.09. Since a large number of people have still not been fully immunized against COVID-19 and since there is no reason to believe that the figures will start falling again in a couple of weeks the situation is very worrying. Belgium is not alone. The number of coronavirus infections is increasing across Europe. In the Netherlands, the number of coronavirus infections is rising sharply, with 6,986 new cases in the past 24 hours. The Dutch government announced yesterday new restrictions to limit the hospitality industry and live events sectors. In summary until a very high % of the population is fully immunized we will need to remain cautious – Bruges, Belgium.

Onze intensieve zorgen zijn een verzamelplaats aan het worden van mensen die niet gevaccineerd zijn. Dat kunnen we als samenleving niet aanvaarden. We kunnen niet aanvaarden dat er mensen zijn die de keuze maken om andere mensen in gevaar te brengen. Niemand heeft dat recht, om vrijwillig andere mensen in gevaar te brengen. Niemand zou iemand anders zoiets mogen aandoen. De vaccins zijn veilig, gratis en overal beschikbaar.”

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease. Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.
When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds to the vaccine the same way it would to the real germ. It: Recognizes the germ in the vaccine as being foreign. Responds by making antibodies to the germ in the vaccine, just as it would for the real germ..

Today is vaccination day at my local doctor. Plaster for after the shot actually was waiting for some information, and just took 3 or four shots in mixed indirect light from outside.
Due to the short notice, when and what medicine, and the amount of vaccine they will receive, they schedule two days a week for this process.
But this is only the half-truth, typically the amount of vaccine will be announced on Thursday, Friday and Mondays are for scheduling, Tuesday and Wednesday for the shots. Monday - Friday is for answering questions. That’s the way with Corona or Covid-19 these days.
Not enough vaccines from Bionotech, Moderna, Astra Zeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and others, then there are huge vaccination centers, and at the moment there are more daily doses at your local doctor or companies inhouse medical service

It was a very cold morning (3 degrees F) when I visited the Weston family at their Wine Cup Cattle Company ranch in Ovid, Idaho. In this photo, a cowboy is moving cows into a corral for pregnancy testing and immunizations. Black cows and glaring white snow make for tricky photography. The Westons are very friendly people and greeted us with donuts and hot chocolate.

Why is everyone upset about a vaccine passport, we kind of have one now in Canada! This is my Travel Immunization Record, it contains information that I have had vaccines for Yellow Fever, Tetanus/Diphtheria, Influenza, Typhoid, and Twinrix. Some of these vaccines are required by other countries to visit there and it also is protection for myself as the medical personal in other countries can see what I have had, if required.
I only wish that the Corvid-19 vaccines could be added to this document. When we get a shot an e-mail is sent to say we had it and the batch number, I printed it and have a copy with me.

meet squiggles! ...08 has been a tough year for our dogs...
here's hoping our K9's will have a better '09!
don't forget to immunize your dogs and get those tags on!
A composite artistic illustration of three empty beds inside a deserted sanatorium. On one bed there are three doses of « vaccin BCG pour immunisation des nouveau-nés » (BCG vaccine for immunization of newborns); they were produced in 1931 by Institut Pasteur de Paris. Vivien Leigh’s face emerges as an ethereal reminder of the famous star’s death of tuberculosis.
In the past, physicians knew their patients didn’t even want to hear the name of their dreadful diagnosis, so they avoided saying it in full; they used the “TB” abbreviation instead. Tuberculosis (aka Consumption or Phthisis) was uniformly fatal and contagious and a social stigma, all at the same time! Almost half the pages of many medical textbooks were dedicated to this disease, as if Tuberculosis were the leading star amidst all other infections.
Notorious failures ensued from erroneous attempts to treat the disease by compulsory bedrest, being admitted to high-altitude sanatoria, collapse-therapy and the like. Even bloodletting was once advertised for treating tuberculosis!
It was only in the 1950s that effective medication was introduced for treatment (streptomycin discovered in 1944, isoniazid in 1952, rifampicin later etc.).
“Bacille de Calmette-Guérin” (B.C.G.) is the name of the vaccine against tuberculosis; it was introduced in 1921, after being developed over a period of 13 years (1908-1921). BCG is produced from a weakened strain of Mycobacterium bovis. The vaccine can prevent some rare and extremely-rapidly progressing forms of tuberculosis (such as tuberculous meningitis and miliary dissemination via the bloodstream) in newborn babies and infants, if administered 6 weeks after birth rather than at the traditional age of 13 years. The BCG vaccine produces almost lifelong cellular immunity and, consequently, diminishes the diagnostic value of tuberculin tests (e.g. Mantoux) for the rest of the vaccinated persons’ lives.
BCG-vaccinated persons can be affected by Pulmonary Tuberculosis all right (and die of it, if left undiagnosed or untreated) as much as unvaccinated adults can. The introduction of the BCG vaccine in 1921 didn’t impede the spread of tuberculosis in the world; effective antituberculous antibiotics did in the 1950s!
Currently, cases of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis are very challenging to treat especially in immunocompromised patients. Modern-day physicians are less experienced and less familiarized with diagnosing tuberculosis either in the lab or in the clinical setting.
Moke needed immunizations and also is learning to cooperate with getting his temperature taken, having his teeth checked, and pulse oximetry.
Kudos to the keepers for their skill and patience.

Yesterday, I had to take "the kids" to the vets to update all their immunization shots.
When we got home, Vinny hid under the bed, Dora hid under the couch, and Ozzie buried himself under the covers in my bed, and stayed there until dinner time!
Sylhet, Bangladesh, 2014.
A health worker is administering polio vaccine to an infant during a regular 'Extended Program of Immunization (EPI)' session in a village in Sylhet, Bangladesh.
Bangladesh was recently declared a polio free country along with 10 other countries in South Asia.
The Extended Program of Immunization (EPI) is a nation-wide campaign to prevent six deadly diseases in the newborns. Almost all the villages and remote areas of Bangladesh are covered under the umbrella of this campaign where local people actively assist in transporting and administering the vaccines. The parents enthusiastically participate in the program and maintain the regular vaccination schedule assigned to their children.
Developed countries like the United States of America, where a significant portion of the population is against any kind of vaccination, has a lot to learn from this example.
The Pfizer vaccine finally is accessible here in Cornwall Ontario to frontline workers now outside of hospital or LTC nursing homes. As of March 4th, 2.2 million Canadians have been vaccinated but only 4.2%. Now in the USA, 72 million doses up to 14.6% population. In order to achieve herd immunity to eliminate the virus at least 70% of the population needs to be vaccinated, so we have a long way to go. Scary that testing immunized people reveals that the virus can still manifest in the nose as the antibodies don’t eliminate it nasally. Yet up to 95% vaccinated will have no symptoms from the virus in the body as the antibodies eliminate it in the blood. Unfortunately, it is theoretically possible that the virus could still be spread from the nose of vaccinated people similar to the 40% of asymptotic spreaders of COVID19. Therefore public health measures must still be maintained including masking, hand sanitizing and social distancing. Despite this, after 12 days of getting our fist vaccination we can safely hug our grandson!
Santa stopped by the office today for his annual check up. I'm pleased to report the jolly old elf is in great shape despite his advanced age (estimated to be 600 years old). However, the rate of shingles is on the rise and I convinced him to get vaccinated against it. The painful rash, also known as 'herpes zoster', will affect 1 out of 3 people in their lifetime (1 out of 2 over 85, and virtually all Santa's age). Canada has at least 130,000 cases per year costing the health care system 69 million. While the vaccine is not free, about $185 dollars a shot, it's effective at reducing the burden of this terrible disease. In particular it can prevent the chronic pain associated with shingles. So for all you baby-boomer's out there, follow Santa's lead, have a chat with your healthcare provider, and if it's right for you, get it!

Advisory body recommends four-month wait for second COVID-19 vaccine dose
A national panel of vaccine experts recommended earlier today that the interval for second doses of COVID-19 vaccines can be extended to four months given limited supply.
In a bulletin posted to Public Health Canada’s website, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization said it was taking the decision because of the need to maximize the number of individuals who get an early first dose.
B.C. announced Monday it would use this strategy, which has its critics and also does not adhere to the recommendations of the drug manufacturers of the vaccines Canada is currently administering, including Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
