Ubalozi wa Marekani nchini Tanzania waagiza takwimu za wagonjwa wa korona na chanjo vitolewe

[ipogolo]

Ambassador to Tanzania. I want to talk to you about COVID-19, and how we can work together to prevent its spread and help all of us stay safe.

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, almost two and a half million people have died of the disease. The loss is staggering, and no country has been untouched. In my own country, the United States of America, we have lost over 500,000 of our fellow citizens. To further complicate things, new variants of the virus have caused another more intense wave of infections across the world, including the African continent. It has become clear that the virus variant has arrived in Tanzania, also. I’ve been encouraged by recent statements from the Ministry of Health acknowledging COVID-19 as a public health priority in Tanzania and urging citizens to take basic precautions: such as avoiding crowds, wearing masks, and social distancing. This is good advice and I urge everyone to follow it.

In addition to implementing basic precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, there are at least two other important tools that are critical to controlling this pandemic.

First, in order to know if response measures are having the intended impact, it is critical to collect and report information about testing and cases. That’s why it is so important for all governments to share accurate and timely information about the number of cases in their countries to the World Health Organization. Sharing this information reassures citizens that their governments are fighting to protect their health and their livelihoods. Furthermore, such reporting allows researchers and scientists to better track the disease and prevent unnecessary deaths – both nationally and regionally.

The second tool is vaccines. As our new Secretary of State Tony Blinken stated, “Until everyone in the world is vaccinated, then no-one is really fully safe.” Vaccines have helped eradicate some of the worst diseases on earth, and there is no doubt that a mass immunization campaign will save lives. Just look at the numbers in the US; in the past couple of weeks, as millions of vaccinations have been given, the numbers of new Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have started to fall. I urge the Government of Tanzania to convene its health experts and review the evidence on vaccines.

As the world’s largest health and humanitarian donor, the United States continues to lead the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic, contributing more than $1.5 billion to COVID-19 mitigation efforts worldwide and pledging $4 billion to speed global distribution of vaccines. Here in Tanzania, we dedicated $16.4 million to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic since the first confirmed case was diagnosed in March of 2020. The United States stands ready to ramp up our efforts and we are committed to working side by side with Tanzania to defeat Covid-19.

I will close this message on a personal note. I am a doctor by profession. Before being named Ambassador to Tanzania, I spent over 30 years working in the public health sector. I can promise you that the public health measures I’ve been speaking about WORK. They will save lives if they are adopted. I urge all Tanzanians to join now in supporting these measures so that we can protect each other and the ones we love.

Asenteni sana

As a nation we will neither accept the so called chanjo from western countries nor produce or give figures of those who affected by covid 19.
The Govt will take every possible precautions to assure the life being of their citizens.
Mabeberu remain with your assumptions that Tz under magufuli regime will hands up.

 

[Shing Yui]

Wapambane kwanza na mambo yao ya ndani... Ya kwetu tutayamaliza wenyewe

 

[crocodile]

Typical Uncle SAM's inept arrogance!! USA has failed miserably to contain COVID-19 pandemic - here they are in their vain effort trying to give some lessons to Tanzania Govt on how we should deal/Contain COVID-19 virus infection.

The only NATION in the World that has succeeded to tame COVID-19 is China - USA should borrow a leaf from them Chinese instead of demonising them or telling Tanzania what we should or shouldn't do.

Chinese know the true origin of this problem. I wouldn’t be quick to jump on the bandwagon to give them credits for taming this disease.

 

[voicer]

Hivi hapa Tanzania hakuna balozi wa nchi zingine zaidi ya Marekani?

Je Urusi,China na wengineo hawatupendi watanzania zaidi ya Wamarekani hawa?

Ikumbukwe, chanjo ni biashara kama biashara zingine.

Sisi tukiamua kutumia chanjo ya URUSI kuna shida?

 

[zimmerman]

The Gwajimas, Nchembes should take note.
The US Ambassador who is a medical Doctor surely knows what he is talking about.

The larger Tanzania population agrees with this statement.
Problem is, there are people probably benefiting from the desease and would prefer it remains that way.

Franlky we dont understand why science is not allowed to work.

Covid pandemic is more than a scientific problem. It also affects other domains of power including economics (imperialist taking advantage of their financial power to exploit the pandemic for their benefits), sovereignty (you don't know what is in the vaccine, and since you didn't make it, you just cant blindly recommend it to your populace) and spirituality (evil is a spirit, and covid pandemic evil is no exception).

So it is not only about science, it is also about these other things in the mix, and Tanzania is currently fortunate to have a leader who probably thinks outside the box. Recent spike in covid infections and subsequent deaths should not makes us forget that we have been there before, survived, and we shall defeat this evil. Again!

 

[badison]

Kuhusu chanjo mimi nasimama na Raisi wangu Magufuli. Sitaki kuwa labrat [emoji232] nikaja kuharibu my god given [emoji3459]

 

[zimmerman]

Tatizo mojawapo ni kufikiria kuwa huu ni ugonjwa wa kipindi kifupi.

Virusi vya mafua ambavyo ni jamii ya corona vimeendelea na maambukizi kwa watu miaka nenda rudi na hivi vipya vya uviko 19 itakuwa hivyo hivyo kama mkakati wa kinga wa kitaalamu usipotekelezwa.

Tofauti ni idadi kubwa ya maambukizi na vifo kwa upande wa uviko ukilinganisha na haya mafua ya kawaida.

Tusipokubali suluhisho la kitaalamu yaani chanjo, huu ugonjwa utaendelea kutesa hii nchi muda mrefu ujao.

Miaka kumi ijayo, wengi ambao wana kinga ya ujana leo watakuwa hatarini na baada ya hapo yatafuata marika ya chini.

Na bado kuna yumkini kuwa inaweza ibuka mutant variety itakayo ambukiza na kuleta kifo kwa mtu wa umri wowote.

Kwa ujumla mimi binafsi naona baadhi ya watanzania watu wazima tunachukulia huu ugonjwa kwa mtazamo wa umimi uliojaa ujinga mwingi ukichochewa na siasa za kijinga pia,bila kufikiria kuwa hatima ya nchi hapo mbeleni itabebwa na kizazi kichanga ambacho hakina maamuzi yoyote juu ya yanayotokea leo.

Nawasihi viongozi wetu wasiweke maisha ya watoto wetu rehani kwasababu tu wao wanaishi nyakati ambazo wengi wameaminishwa kuwa siasa ndiyo maisha.

Tatizo la kisayansi linahitaji suluhisho la kisayansi.

Uviko 19 ni ugonjwa unaosababishwa na virusi na suluhisho lake ni kinga ya kutumia chanjo na sio kukemea kama hizo ziitwazo pepo au kunywa dawa zisizothibitishwa.

Acheni sayansi ichuke nafasi yake kwa ajili ya hatima ya taifa letu na vizazi vijavyo.

Tatizo lenu nyie mnaifanya Sayansi kuwa Mungu sasa. Na ole wake wewe uwekaye tumaini lako kwa fikra na mambo za wanadamu wenzako!

Wazungu wamechanjwa vya kutosha sana kuhusu mafua, je kuchanjwa huko kumekuwa suluhisho la wao kutopata homa za mafua? Na je sisi huku ambao hatujawahi kuchanjwa dhidi ya virusi vya corona je kuna tatizo lolote tumelipata kutokana na kutochanjwa huko? Au sisi ndio tumekuwa chanzo cha kuzalisha variant mpya iliyozaa covid-19?

Anyway ninachokiona ni matokeo ya mitaala ya elimu ya kikoloni inayotengeneza fikra kwenye vichwa vya watu wetu kuona kila falsafa ya mzungu, kila product ya mzungu, kila wazo la mzungu ni sahihi kubebwa na kutekelezwa bila kuhoji na hata bila kutafakari.

Kama ungekuwa na uhuru wa fikra usiotegemea indoctrination ya elimu ya kikoloni ungejiongeza kwamba kwa vile tuna tatizo limetupata basi tungepaza sauti za kama nchi tujiwekee mkakati wa namna ya kudeal na pandemics kama hizo now and in the future zilizo ndani ya uwezo wetu kulingana na mazingira yetu. Cha kushangaza mara tu baada ya infection za kwanza kabisa kutokea nchini kwetu mlisuggest nchi iende lockdown kwa vile wengine huko nje wameweka nchi zao lockdown. Hata bila ya kuangalia mazingira ya nchi zenu. Jiwe likafanya mambo yake kwa vile fikra zake zi huru na leo hii naona akili zishaanza kuwaingia kwamba he was right on this decision.

Sasa naona leo hii mnapigia debe suala la vaccines. Ukichunguza kwa makini kinachowasukuma kupigia debe vaccine si uhakika kwamba vaccines works against covid 19 (na nieleweke siko kinyume na vaccines, I am not an anti vax member), ninapinga dhana mliyo nayo nyie waafrika msiojifunza kutokana na historia. Mlitawaliwa na wakoloni kwa upuuzi huu huu wa kuwaona wazungu ni miuungu watu na kila kitu cha mzungu ni sahihi. Hamjipi hata nafasi ya kuchunguza na kutafakari. Ebo!

 

[jkipaji]

Mungu wabariki Wazungu

Ili wazidi kututawala!?

 

[jkipaji]

Mnaficha nini ? au ni kweli kwamba mnaongoza kwa vifo africa ?

Tungekua tunaongoza kwa vifo hata wwe saa hii usingekuwepo hapa unaandika, ungekua tumesha zika maana na wwe ni Mtanzania!!

 

[Nazgur]

Viongozi wa Tanzania, wanatakiwa kushirikiana na Dunia. Hata kama unasema una njia zako zinazotibu Covid 19, unatakiwa uishawishi Dunia, na Dunia ithibitishe.

We are acting primitively by not cooperating with globe community.

Hiyo dunia ukishawapa takwimu wanakupa pesa bure za kujikinga au ndo wanataka wakukopeshe kwa lazima?
Watupe faida ya kutoa takwimu itakayotokomeza uginjwa tz,

Pia watwambie leo huko kwao wamekufa wangapi na wamepona wangapi?
Maana naonabkama nao wameanza kytoa taarifa kwa vipindi na sio kila siku.

 

[wankuru nyankuru]

Wawape za uongo tu ( walioambukizwa 10,000, waliokufu 230, walio kwenye hatari ya kufa 100, na wanaotakiwa kuchanjwa mill 58).

Chukueni hizo muwape, si wanataka idadi tu

 

[KalamuTena]

Hiyo Phd kuna mtu alipewa bila kukaa darasani na thesis ya kukopi ndio maana anafanya ufutuhi kila kukicha.

Kuna shaka kubwa juu ya PhD ile!

 

[KalamuTena]

Hoja pumba kuliko...

Hawajawahi kutu colonize

Wanasingiziwa kuua watu Congo wakati wa King Leopold

Wazungu hawana nia hiyo kabisa

Kwani ni lazima wawe wazungu pekee ndio wanaoweza kufanya hayo; mbona hapo ulipo wewe ni mateka, kwani ni wazungu ndio wamekuteka?

"...kuua watu": hawa wanaoua weusi wenzao Afrika, na hata hapa nao tuwaite ni wazungu?

Ninapata taabu sana kujibishana na watu wenye akili finyu kama yako. Ndio maana unajipa jina kama hilo ulilojipachika.

 

[Saint Ivuga]

Ndio mijne kuwapa wasukuma nchi

 

[Amaizing Mimi]

Mi nilivyoelewa ni kwa wanapendezekeza na hawajaagiza.ukisema wameagiza una maanisha hiyo ni amri.

 

[Mnyaluhala.]

Tehe tehe teheeee waagiza? Wamemuagiza nani? Wamewaagiza wamarekani waishio Tz? Hii ni Tz .

 

[Bukyanagandi]

Chinese know the true origin of this problem. I wouldn’t be quick to jump on the bandwagon to give them credits for taming this disease.

How do you mean Chinese knows the true origin of this problem -repeat true origin of COVID-19!!

Any compelling evidence to support your unfounded allegation raised against PRC - none whatsover - there you are.

If my memories serves me right I remember last month WHO sending a team of molecular Biologists and virologists GURUS on a fact finding mission in Wuhan China, inspite of visiting every lab, markets and what have you - the team later stated that they never found any evidence incriminating Chinese Govt or Chinese scientists - in other words Chinese were not the brains behind the current pandemic, if anything the World should be greatful to Chinese Govt for warning the World in advance via WHO about COVID-19 infections - of course Uncle SAMs for Geopolitical reasons wants the whole World to put the blaim on Chinese doorsteps.

Any level headed person knows that Corona was brought delibaretly in China to try to sabotage China economically by wiping out her human resources - Chinese got wind of the evil plan and acted promptly to save her Nation and her people,luckily enough Chinese people succeeded eventually - I salute CCP 4 taking a bold stand.

Now that WHO wants to know where COVID-19 came from - why don't they send the same fact finding team to the USA to check on military facilities at Fort Hare or Knocks at tell the World what they have discovered therein, instead of trying to lay the blame on Chinese Govt. day in day out.

 

[mohamedjohn]

Ushauri gani tena jamani?! Si tulikubaliana kuwa mtu akitaka kutushauri ndio anaharibu kabisa? Au tulikubaliana vipi wajumbe!

Sijui wamesahau au wanna viherehere Tanzania hakuna Corona kunachangamoto ya upumuaji

 

[mohamedjohn]

China wanapima Covid-19 kupitia njia nyeti.Kwa hiyo wataka kwenda huko ?angalia wasikuharibu lakini!

Hahaahahahahaha watu wanaangali afya marinda kitu gani?hatawakiyafumua [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

Europe’s AstraZeneca stockpile mounts as citizens snub jab​

Emmanuel Macron forced to extol its virtues after efficacy doubts and adverse publicity damped trust​

After battling with AstraZeneca over shipment delays, and even casting doubt over its Covid-19 jab’s efficacy, EU countries are seeing stocks of the company’s shots pile in — unused.
As of Friday, France had administered 7 per cent of the 2.5m doses of the two-injection vaccine it received since the first delivery in early February, according to health ministry data compiled by Covidtracker.fr. As of Thursday, Germany had given a little over one-fifth of the 1.45 million doses, about the same proportion as Italy, which has received over 1m doses. Spain has used just under a third of a total of 808,000 doses as of Friday.
The situation has prompted several European leaders to talk up the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine in recent days, with one French health ministry official even calling for a “collective rehabilitation campaign” to improve its reputation.

German chancellor Angela Merkel acknowledged that there was “an acceptance problem with the AstraZeneca vaccine at the moment” that was slowing the jab’s rollout. In an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper on Thursday, she urged people to keep an open mind to it: “All the authorities tell us that we can trust this vaccine.”
The tone is a change from only weeks ago when European politicians were engaged in an acrimonious battle with AstraZeneca over its deliveries and when French president Emmanuel Macron suggested the vaccine was “quasi-ineffective” on older individuals. Now that they have doses however, EU governments face a sceptical public, in addition to logistical challenges and restrictions of their own devising.
Health experts have warned that the continent’s already sluggish rollout could be further hampered if uptake of the Anglo-Swedish company’s vaccine is not improved. The EU had inoculated only 6.82 per 100 people by Friday, compared to 28.6 in the UK, 20.4 in the United States, and 91 in Israel, according to Our World in Data.

Chief among the reasons for the lower acceptance of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was a policy choice made by many countries to restrict its use for older people until more data on its efficacy became available. In France, that meant the shot is only currently being offered to people aged between 50 to 64 with comorbidities and healthcare workers, while Spain has advised it not be used on those older than 55 years old. Germany and Italy are offering the jab to everyone younger than 65.
Health experts say negative headlines have damaged the vaccine’s reputation, bolstering the perception that it is a lesser option to BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna jabs, which both which both rely on so-called mRNA technology and boast higher protection rates. A study suggesting the AstraZeneca vaccine was less effective against the variant that has emerged in South Africa caused healthcare workers’ unions in several European countries to demand that their members get the mRNA based vaccines instead.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca jab showed efficacy of between 62 and 70 per cent in clinical trials last year. That compares with over 90 per cent effectiveness for the BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna jabs. But all of them offer nearly full protection against hospitalisation and deaths.
“I don’t have anything against the AstraZeneca vaccine,” said Jérôme Marty, who heads a French doctors’ union. “But healthcare workers are often exposed to high viral loads in the hospital so they need the most effective vaccines that we have.”
In France, which has for years had the world’s highest vaccine hesitancy, there were reports of hospital workers missing shifts and suffering strong side effects such as fever and muscle pain after being inoculated with the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. It is often younger people who experience such side effects with the AstraZeneca shot since their immune systems mount a stronger response than older people, health experts say.
Weeks after the French president’s dismissive comments on the jab, France’s top vaccine adviser Alain Fischer has been extolling its virtues on television, social media and webinars for hospital staff.

“For reasons that I find profoundly unfair, this vaccine has gotten relatively bad press in France,” the paediatric immunologist told the press on Thursday. “It is effective. It is safe. It should be used without a second thought and without delay.”
Dr Fischer also referred to the results from a new study from Scotland, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, showing the Oxford/AstraZeneca shot lowered the chance of hospitalisation from four to six weeks after vaccination by 94 per cent after one shot. “If confirmed, these results would be excellent news”, he said and could lead France to expand the usage to those aged more than 65. Logistical problems in France have also meant doctors only started inoculating patients this week.

• The tiresome trend of vaccine one-upmanship

Spain is reviewing new data continuously to decide whether to change age restrictions on the jab, health ministry official Silvia Calzón said on Thursday: “We are waiting for there to be more evidence so that we can make a decision with all the guarantees.”
Even Macron has become a convert. “In view of the latest scientific studies, the efficacy of the AstraZeneca vaccine has been proven,” he said after a virtual gathering of EU leaders. “If that’s the vaccine that’s offered to me, I will take it, of course.”
