People who objected to AstraZeneca are now be offered alternatives here.

There are 284 vaccines coming on the market towards the end of the year.

... the US is going to have to retool its relationship with the organization...

I thought the tool had been removed from the relationship?

Strange you would trust what a Belgian-owned publication tells you. Not that I could form an opinion. Running the article through Google Translate wouldn't be a problem, but it is also locked up behind a paywall.

[Scot Dutchy]

Sorry about that. I never realised that the Volks uses paywalls. A Belgian owned publication? The Volks is part of the DPG Media BV which has newspapers throughout Europe. Along with the NRC is considered the top quality paper here. It is the Guardian equivalent more or less. I have always had a subscription but these days only for the digital version as with the Guardian as well.

The Volks is part of the DPG Media BV. DPG Media BV is a subsidiary owned by the DPG Media Group. The DPG Media Group is a Belgian media company also active in the Netherlands and Denmark. It is owned by the Van Thillo family and employs some 6,000 people. Its headquarters are in Antwerp, Belgium. Christian Van Thillo was born in Antwerp, Belgium. Apart from de Volkskrant he and his family also own the Algemeen Dagblad, Trouw and other companies in Belgium, the Netherlands Denmark and elsewhere.

I am surprised to see that you do not distrust all fairy data.

The Volkskrant was an independent paper based in Amsterdam. The Nieuw Rotterdamse Courant was based in Rotterdam. Den Haag had the Haagsche Courant but was socially much lower and is now part of the AD concern. The VK and NRC are considered quality papers. Although both are part of a media groups they have managed to maintain their independent POV and moved into the digital world.
We had many local newspapers but almost all have been taken over by the Algemene Dagblad which produces a local section for each area. We never had or have Sunday newspapers. Many have been launched but never succeeded.
I only distrust fairy data when there is a political element in the data. Even the Volks usually comments on such data.

Past tense noted.

Data you disagree with are fairy data, and data that harmonise with your prejudices are not.

[Scot Dutchy]

Whatever Hermit. If that what you think well go ahead and think it. Just polder it.

[JimC]

Just polder it.

Damn that's good!

[Scot Dutchy]

Well 10 million are vaccinated. In country of 17 million not bad. We never reached the 2 million a week but came close at 1,7 million.

One more death. It's rare for anyone in the 80s to be a new case.
