Harry get your facts right man, the first vaccines approved for emergency use were the Chinese Cansino vaccine closely followed by Sputnik V.
I think you must be referring to the first western country to give emergency use authorisation for a vaccine. The UK was indeed the first to approve the “US” Pfizer BioNtech vaccine for emergency use.

Mr. Barracuda , you are probably the most brainwashed individual I have come across after years of internet wandering.
You're a goddamned marvel sire.
Very useful reads regarding ADE for those of you faced with Sinovac as the only option:

It's a no from me, but is now the leading vaccine in BRICS nations and much of the 3rd world.

In case of any issues with their Covid vaccine, drugs companies won't be held accountable as they have a clause shielding them from prosecution.
Pfizer has been hit hard in pharmaceutical fraud cases in the past, Astra Zeneca and Johnson & Johnson have been found guilty as well. So
they covered their bases with this one.

Did you forget that there was an orange moron in the Oval Office at the time the pandemic started? It wasn't until January of this year that a reasonable adult took over. That said since then America now has given a jab to over 50% of its massive population. How is the vaccine rollout in OZ going?[/QUOTE]
It is fair to say Australia has been poor in the Vaccine roll out. The federal govt did not have the urgency other countries faced with such low case numbers and its reliance on the Astra zenica, which is now manufactured in Australia and has made many potential recipients reluctant to get the jab over blood clot concerns and the sporadic banning/unbanning in various countries, put them behind the eight ball. Certainly poor planning and roll out which, should the virus break out, will damage the governments already poor performance even further.
I think Australia had the first vaccine but it was scrapped when people who had taken it gave a false positive to an HIV test, due to the HIV virus being the base of the vaccine. The govt lost millions of investment dollars and I am still aghast how anyone, be they the researchers, the Queensland university or the government thought that people would accept a vaccine extracted from HIV. That was never going to fly regardless of its safety.
The low covid numbers have been helped by Australia being an Island, a relatively small population on a large land mass, much less severe winters and in some places no real winter at all and the numerous lockdowns and good overall compliance by most Australians, together with international flight bans and quarantining of people coming from overseas. This has allowed the majority to get on with their lives with little restriction. In QLD everything here is fairly back to pre covid normality. Other than a few travel restrictions.
