In Taiwan, the number of people dying after their COVID-19 vaccination is exceeding the number of deaths from the virus itself.
Taiwan’s health authorities say that as of Monday, deaths after vaccination reached 865. While deaths from the virus are 845.
Must be a bad batch.

Latest vaccine uptake statistics for Ireland (with percentages based on total population). Over 92 per cent of the adult population have been double dosed, according to the HSE.
*cough*
Meanwhile…
No word of a lie, no agenda but I would say that since the rollout of vaccines in Ireland , about 90% of people I know who contracted Covid are fully vaccinated. Yet we have vaccine passports and the unvaxxed are not allowed into alot of indoor spaces. Apparently this is science

Anyone?
I issued an Executive Order prohibiting vaccine mandates by ANY entity in Texas.
I also added the issue to the Special Session agenda.

The order marks a significant reversal after Abbott previously gave private businesses the choice to mandate vaccines for workers. An Abbott spokesperson said in late August that “private businesses don’t need government running their business.”

Further to Friday’s announcement that Iceland would suspend the use of the Moderna vaccine…
…Iceland’s Chief Epidemiologist Þórólfur Guðnason said the decision was made after reviewing new data from the Nordic countries, which shows an increased incidence of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle (or myocaridum), as well as pericarditis, an inflammation in the membrane surrounding the heart (or pericardium), among people vaccinated with Moderna.

New research suggests a previous coronavirus infection gives double jabbed people ‘greater protection’ from, er, coronavirus infection.
Via RTÉ News
Past Covid infection, together with being fully vaccinated, increases an individual’s protection against the virus to as much as 94%,according to the Zoe Covid study.
Professor Tim Spector, of Kings College London, a lead scientist on the Zoe Covid study app, said:
“Regardless of which vaccine is administered, this latest research shows that having a natural Covid-19 infection before double vaccination does mean greater protection.
“This is really positive news for overall immunity levels in the UK and means that large numbers of people will have effective and long lasting protection from Covid-19.
“This is also strong evidence to support the need for vaccination, even for those who have already had Covid-19.”

Sweden suspended the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for people ages 30 and under, saying the move was done out of precaution because of rare side effects including heart inflammation. In Denmark, people under 18 won’t be offered the Moderna shot. https://t.co/IisdZ9Uywt

This afternoon.
Via Associated Press:
Swedish health authorities on Wednesday suspended the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for those ages 30 and under, saying the move was done out of precaution.
The reason for the pausing is “signals of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium” — the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels, Sweden’s Public Health Agency said in a statement. “The risk of being affected is very small.”
In July, the European Medicines Agency recommended authorising Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 12 to 17, the first time the shot has been authourised for people under 18.
