The headline is misleading. If you read it, you think the health team was killed by the Ebola virus. If you read the article, you will read villagers used machetes and clubs to kill them. Tragic, but a whole different perspective.

I think you missed the punchline. And the point of the example. Let me simplify:

International mass immunization campaigns are not cheap, quick, or easy.

That is a large broad perspective, true.

But the article headline implies the virus killed the workers. That is as true as saying a motorcycle accident death was counted as a COVID-19 death.

Machetes are a civil violence issue, for whatever enraged reason.

I disagree, you did not understand what I said,

Trying to come up with a single vaccine that works for all coronaviruses. Seems like a worthy cause if possible.

People who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 do not need to quarantine if they are exposed to the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday in updated guidance on its website.

Quarantine is typically recommended for healthy people who have been exposed to the virus. During quarantine, people are asked to isolate from others for one to two weeks to see whether they develop symptoms of Covid-19. By not exposing others, quarantining can help stop the spread of the disease.

In the updated guidance, the CDC said such quarantining is not necessary for fully vaccinated people within three months of having received their last doses as long as they do not develop any symptoms. "Fully vaccinated" means that at least two weeks have passed since a person has received the second dose of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine.

There are anti-vaxxers, and then there are African anti-vaxxers!

The headline is clickbait, but not Excargo’s clickbait.

First one I've heard of.

It’s harder to get it by the institutional review board when you are proposing a human subject study with a still-emergency use vaccine on a population in which the disease has so very little risk. It is not exactly unexpected that they may want a few million person-years experience in adults (which won’t really take all that long and manufacturers can’t meet current demand on it anyway) before permitting trials on younger people.

Or from a different perspective, even if these were approved for use in children, they’d still be last in priority to get this because, yes, while they MIGHT get it, and it MIGHT even kill them, they have a greater risk from influenza in a typical influenza year. Worldwide, measles is a greater threat for kids.
