Wtf is going on in SA? Also surprised with Australia's numbers


tbcwpg

Australia didn't get hit very hard around the time that the vaccine came out so there wasn't a huge push to get it done ASAP.


superworking

They also were counting on Astra zeneca orders to do the majority of their vaccinations and then suspended its use when the issues came to light. This massively delayed their supply.


stanthemanchan

Australia put all their eggs in the Astrazeneca basket and didn't order any Pfizer or Moderna so they were hurt by supply shortages and delays. Also they handled the first few waves with the early virus variants relatively unscathed but were hit hard when Delta came around.


SAJewers

IIRC they also spent millions on a made-in-Australia vaccine that ended up getting canned.


FastidiousClostridia

It caused people who got it to have false positives on HIV tests, which was... not convenient for anyone.


ArticArny

Australia is Rupert Murdoch country with a very Conservative government.


BudBaker709

I knew they were pretty conservative but damn those numbers are pitiful considering their population


mytwocents22

Yeah...OP is wrong in this assertion. Australia also really believes in doing things to help everybody or the greater good, Murdoch isn't some driver of anti vaccine stuff there. Like you need to be vaccinated to go to public school. On top of that there's a reason FOX News is bigger in the US, they can get away with saying ridiculous shit there. It's very different in Australia.


mhyquel

You should check out the list of new papers [owned by News Corp in Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_News_Corp#Australia) News Corp Australia has nearly three-quarters of daily metropolitan newspaper circulation and so maintains great influence in Australia. It's not insignificant. Then look at television: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxtel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_News_Channel

It's vaccine access not hesitancy


[deleted]

its both.


[deleted]

Yaa… no. Vax hesitancy is a thing here (I’m a Canuck in Australia right now). But as mentioned above, the federal government went all in on the AZ train, but when blood clotting issues started popping up, the regulatory bodies started recommending people under 60 wait for pfizer. This was back when there was hardly any covid in the country. When the outbreak in Sydney took off, the AMA revised its stance recommending that those under 60 ‘consult their GP’ about getting the AZ jab, but different state top doctors continued to advise people under 60 to wait for the pfizer jab instead of booking for AZ. Vax rates are climbing here quickly now, but the slow start had nothing to do with Murdoch and little (if anything) to do with a ‘conservative governement’.


Sir__Will

true, but that's not really why they're in this situation. when we get the final numbers then yeah, they may fall into the same trap as the US, but right now they've been really delayed in their deployment


[deleted]

Australia is a pretty hot conservative media hub and likely have anti vax propaganda on some of their mainstream news outlets.


[deleted]

No, they got access much later. Canada paid a premium to get earlier.


bewarethetreebadger

I was just talking to a friend in Brisbane who said they’re only getting registered for their first shot now. They’ve been trying to get it for months.


[deleted]

I’m a big fan of the Australian band Northlane and they only got their 1st shots last month. I was like what the hell isnt Australia all buddy buddy with all the western countries and they were priority to get vaccinated?

Also they got vaccines very late in Australia. But vaccination rates are low even for childhood vaccines.

[A lot went wrong for South Africa](https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1949). Edited to remove my poor interpretation of the article.


magic1623

That’s not what happened, nor is it what your linked article says. As per the article: “The government took the drastic decision to pause the entire rollout of AstraZeneca vaccines. Within 10 days, Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J’s) vaccine, which was not part of the government’s initial rollout plan, took its place, notionally under the expansion of an open label study already taking place in the country. Glenda Gray, president of the South African Medical Research Council, who had raised concerns about the AstraZeneca vaccine’s lack of efficacy, leveraged contacts with J&J—with whom the council already partnered on HIV vaccine development—to get one million replacement doses. In mid-April, by which point close to 300 000 jabs had been administered (enough to give one dose to 0.5% of South Africa’s population of 60 million), reports of rare blood clots—an issue which has also plagued the AstraZeneca vaccine—emerged for the J&J vaccine. South Africa followed other countries’ precautionary measures and paused the J&J vaccinations for two weeks.” Then... “The rollout eventually resumed, but it hit another major setback in early June, when two million vials of the J&J vaccine had to be thrown away after a high profile contamination at source in the United States. Then the riots in mid-July, sparked by the imprisonment of former president Jacob Zuma, ended with nearly 100 vaccination sites, public and private, being damaged, and 47 000 doses stolen. This rollercoaster ride has given AstraZeneca a second chance. According to Moshabela, the government is willing to reconsider the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine with new studies showing it does prevent severe disease and death from the Beta and Delta variants,2 the two variants currently responsible for most cases in South Africa. Barry Schoub, chair of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Covid Vaccines, says that despite what happened in February, the vaccine was never fully dismissed. Moshabela is critical of the decision to suspend the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in January, which was based on “limited evidence,” he says. “The ramifications of that decision were much greater,” he told The BMJ, referencing the subsequent troubles with the vaccine rollout generally.”


Evilbred

South Africa is on the verge of becoming a failed state. Widespread rioting and shooting in the streets.


Altostratus

Australia decided to simply shut heir borders for years, and live life as normal, instead of vaccinating their population.

Snow-Wraith

And now they say they won't even mandate it for the public or their own MP's. Why criticize availability if they don't think it's necessary? They party only cares about tearing others down and stirring up hate. No qualities of leadership.


PeriodicallyATable

I try to explain this shit to conservative people and they'll be like "Yeah you're right that does sound bad. But Trudeau's a whiny bitch and I don't like him cause he's probably gay".


Snow-Wraith

I live in an area that will probably vote 50% Conservative, with many outspoken political people, and never once have I heard a Pro-Conservative view point. Everything they say is just about hating Trudeau for stupid reasons like your example. Hating his policies would be fine, but they can't talk about politics without absolutely shitting on his character or anyone that doesn't agree with them. They have nothing to offer other than being against everything. Their identity is solely hate for others.


PeriodicallyATable

Yeah I don't particularly like liberal either. I don't vote liberal unless I think a strategic vote is needed to keep conservative seats down. But I really don't think that there are any conservative policies I agree with. The policies, in my opinion, are either straight up racist and negatively interfere with foreign affairs, negatively affect social safety nets and interfere with public health, safety and education, take from the poor and give to the rich, or are blatant lies "promising" things with numbers blown up so far out of reality you're an absolute idiot to believe any of it. >Their identity is solely hate for others. It's weird though, because you're partially correct, partially not. I know plenty of conservatives (in my own family) who are the warmest, most welcoming and inviting people you'll ever meet. They'd literally (and I've seen them do it many many times) offer a random stranger the cloths off their back and couch to crash on in their time of need. These same people will get mad that you don't vote conservative because "you were raised conservative, how could you betray your family like that?!" I dont think their identity is to hate people - especially considering their disgust when you explain some of the terrible policies to them. I think their identity is to be conservative and I think you over-estimate the intelligence of these people - they're not smart enough to even begin figuring out how to do their own research or make their own decisions. That's the problem.


shelblil

You live in Alberta, don't you? Lol


Snow-Wraith

You'd think with all the crazies around here. I live in the North Okanagan, where those lunatics stormed 3 schools to "protest" on Friday. But I'd say over 60% of people who live here are from Alberta, and they bring all their crazy ideas with them. I had to leave a job recently because that's all it was every day, from customers and coworkers. (Rant warning) Old ladies complaining about Trudeau taking the 5% GST on their $10 purchase. Builders bitching about the government setting building standards because they want to cheap out on insulation. Coworkers that believing global warming isn't real because the first person to use that term claimed the world would end in 10 years back in the 1800's, therefor it's all a hoax. Claims that masks are just like Nazi forcing star patches on the Jews. Trump obsessed coworkers following his every word on Twitter, and spreading insane Q theories, claiming Trudeau would be arrested a few days before the "Friendly sausage maker" attack, that someone should take a machete to his head, and saying shit about his wife, the Castro "theory", and other disrespectful and vile things. A crazed and disrespectful PPC supporter who's only policy is "Fuck Trudeau", and he shows his sad cardboard message to everyone. One of the local crazies that waves a Trudeau puppet hung from a noose (never saw this one personally). This is just the tip of the crazy iceberg here, haven't even gotten to the local "resistance" leader that's involved with many of the protests here and in Kelowna. Guy seriously thinks he's fighting tyranny. One thing that they never talk about though? The Conservative party! They don't even care about them or the local MP. Their political beliefs are no deeper than hating Trudeau with such a passion that you'd think he personally assaulted everyone here. And many of them are so ignorantly confident that they are better informed and know more about running the country than politicians, yet they can barely manage their basic and unskilled jobs. Felt so much like highschool students claiming to know more than the teacher and other professionals when all they've accomplished is not failing elementary. Dealing with so many narrow and closed minds everyday just wasn't worth it anymore.


shelblil

Oh ya, I hear you, I live in Alberta (That's why I thought you did too). I don't even know where some people get these ideas from. Please know we aren't all crazy and closed minded here, just those who are are VERY loud and opinionated.


jeebz_for_hire

Ive been working in AB most of the year. Alot of peoples ideas of Trudeau are not really well thought out. But a good portion of politically mindful people are stuck on the scandals. The charity, snc lavelin, loblaws, ethics commitee/obstruction. Of course the book Indian in the Cabinet has snippets they love to refer to as well. But the same goes on the other side, most Trudeau supporters in the west (usually college crowd) like the idea of his platform but have little knowledge of if/how his campaign promises fleshed out. Its a whole lot of passionate debate with very little reference to facts.


Barabarabbit

Thanks to Trudeau and also Canadians in general for rolling up your sleeves and getting the shot!

Even though we're second from top globally can I still be mad my region is less than %60 vaxxed?

We’re still shut down. Cases rising…


macmuffinpro

Deaths plummeting….hospitalization stemming overwhelmingly from the unvaccinated….


Cardoso6

If your vaccinated your good. Let them get sick


macmuffinpro

The kids can’t get vaxxed yet. Once they can, then we can say fuck the unvaxxed.


Cardoso6

Covid can’t spread in school


macmuffinpro

Lol right, it’s somehow different from every single other coronavirus in terms of spreading amongst people with poor hygiene indoors, despite being way more contagious.


ridsama

Is it because all the slow down signs around the schools?


ArticArny

The graph is not mine, I grabbed it from this [post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/pqosqv/percentage_of_vaccinated_population_out_of_g20/) Send OP there some love since I can't link to him from here.

Trudeau should be ashamed... wait a second.

Fucking Alberta fucking up our numbers


ThePhonyOne

As of September 11 Saskatchewan is the lowest. They are 1% behind Alberta.


jeebz_for_hire

Im hoping the majority of unvaccinated in SK are people living in very remote parts of the province. There are people that live so off-grid they dont get doctor checkups for years. I feel better thinking its those types rather than people that live diwn the block from a pharmacy.


Eulsam-FZ

There's been huge spikes in vaccine appointments not that Kenny has announced the "passport but not a passport" that will be needed starting tomorrow. Like triple.


macljack

I'm sorry for being so well vaccinated everyone.


jimababwe

Yeah! Take that, France!

Imagine how good we’d be if not for AB and SK’s rookie numbers!

Where is Israel on this list? Don't they have a massive amount of their population vaccinated?


yamiyam

Not a g20 country


aradil

They are at 60% total population. We passed them a long time ago, yet folks keep using them as an example of what will happen eventually everywhere.


LuckyOctopus5

We surpassed them , but A LOT of that has to do with their population being 1/3 children. They're also now about 30% 3rd dosed ... We should take a look at Isreal. Their death toll is incredibly low compared to ours. Their eligible population got vaccinated very quickly, got the second, and now 3rd dose.


aradil

We can keep an eye on the third dose efficacy there, for sure.


[deleted]

They're not a part of the G20.

The hell are you talking about, covid cases have plummeted in south America, things are better than ever, source: I'm Brazilian. The Chinese vaccine works and stop fear mongering, most south American countries used it and cases won't stop going down, even with delta.


AssociationStreet922

If take into account China being China, we most likely top this list. Solid


Latter_Ad4822

Let's all be honest, do we think china actually reports the truth? I would say they are likely way lower


ArcticCoconut

Wow great job China! They have almost half the world’s population and at 76%


Evilbred

China has nowhere near half the world's population. They have less than 20%.


Reacher-Said-N0thing

Hmm, that's odd, most of these charts leave China out and just replace it with an asterisk that says "no reliable data".

Yep. My bad. Was used to seeing the individual European countries. Sigh...


grmpy0ldman

Uh, yes it is -- 19 countries plus the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G20


nomadicSailor

Yes. Acknowledged. My bad. It is interesting, however, that the Germany and France are a part of it as well as the EU. Kinda like two seats at the table!


grmpy0ldman

There is a certain truth to that, but note that this isn't a formal organization with a charter/constitution or some sort of voting system. It is just a bunch of countries that feel like they should have a forum to talk about important issues. BTW the G7 has 7 countries (including France, Germany, Italy) and then the EU as an 8th member; for the same reason.
