@AzulOscuro - Haha! I just noticed you said cachai. Soon, you'll be saying puta la wea!

I would not be surprised at all if one of the president's family's businesses or the blind trust has some business dealings related to the vaccine. At some point it may come out, like with the casinos. It’s either that or maybe they don’t want to admit that they bought the worst vaccine.

It's not like they were even donated or cheap. From what I heard they paid a per dose price only slightly lower then Pfizer.

I was a reading a twitter feed from Mexico, where they were discussing Sinovac too since It’s what they mainly are using there. It started with a doctor saying that the best vaccine is the one you can get, so go get your vaccine. A lot of people responding were unhappy about not having more options. The bits of Pfizer and AstraZeneca they have received are reserved for certain groups. It sort of feels like we are being told that since we are middle income countries without much power in the world, we just need to suck it up and take the crumbs we are given and be happy we were even allowed to have those crumbs.

Our country having one of the fastest vaccination rates in the world feels like a sick joke when we are locked down, you know? You see the other countries like Israel, the US and UK that are vaccinating at similar rates, but with other vaccines, starting to get back to normal. Next week I will have my second vaccine and I will probably still be locked down. Vaccinated people are really going to lose their patience with the lockdowns soon I think, especially since more and more will have had their 2 doses.

In other news, the three main population centers s in our furthest south region, Magallanes, went back to lockdown yesterday. That region has the highest vaccination rate in the country!
