Record numbers of people in British Columbia are being vaccinated against COVID-19 and flu as the province ramps up its immunization campaign for respiratory illness season.

The health ministry said in a news release that B.C. pharmacies administered almost 82,000 vaccinations on Oct. 15 alone.

It says that was a record for a single day, with about 50,000 shots for flu and about 32,000 for COVID-19 dispensed.

. . .

The first week of the campaign also set a record, with almost 370,000 vaccines administered.

Why do people love bilionaires so much and billion dolllar corporations? How many more billions of dollars do you believe they are entotitled to have? Pfizer got up to $300 Billion with legal immunity that if an injection made someone blind or paralyzed, the top manahement got everybody's money and protected from all responsibilities so they can never be sued in court, which means billionaires have no reason to care who they damage because they will never be in court.

Do you think that maybe, just maybe, it is the protection from communicable disease that people appreciate and not the corporation that produced it? I know it is a radical idea but I think it has some merit and worth investigating.
