actually those beneficiaries in the west and north (account holders in the WEPB) had no choice about taking the money, the power board just sent the account holders their "share". as i recall it amounted to some 3000 odd shares giving about $1000.00 in ...
yes of course. i would never suggest rushing in to give them a vaccine until well tested. but by now with the number of over-12s vaccinated world wide we have a reasonable idea. the important thing now is to establish a correct dosage
so the point is, people who blithely say we should just let people catch it and be done with it really don't know what the long-term consequences might be. it's far too early in the piece to know what we might be letting children in for by such an attitude...
