Biden to send COVID shots to Mexico, Canada in first exports

The AstraZeneca vaccine has not been authorized for use in the U.S. but has been by the World Health Organization. Tens of millions of doses have been stockpiled in the U.S. should it receive emergency use authorization, sparking an international outcry that lifesaving doses could not be used overseas.





The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the transaction before it was officially announced.

Stop sharing your vaccine cards on social media!

Rachel Tobac, an ethical hacker who specializes in social engineering, said one of the biggest concerns around the vaccine card trend is that the information is visible all in one place and easy to access.

"Posting an unedited vaccination card, unfortunately, makes it much easier for a criminal to target a specific person," she said. In some cases, a person's medical record number is listed on the card. "To gain access to sensitive medical records over the phone, having the medical record number, last name, and date of birth -- all of which are listed on the vaccination card -- are all I need to authenticate as that individual and gain access to sensitive details."

A cybercriminal could attempt to impersonate you and call your healthcare company to learn about your medical history or diagnoses, cancel upcoming procedures, change prescription doses and more.

With or without the medical record number, she said, vaccine cards could also allow a hacker to conduct a phishing scheme to steal data and passwords. With the lot number of the vaccine you received or the location of the place where you got the shot, they'd be able to spoof the email address of that facility with a message about, for example, a recall urging you to click a link, supposedly to reschedule an updated dose but really intended to take information from you.

"There are all kinds of issues related to potential identity theft," said Michela Menting, a research director who specializes in cybersecurity at tech market advisory firm ABI Research. "Individuals should be as wary of posting vaccine records information as they would be about posting their credit card numbers online."

That's not to say people should curb celebrating the vaccine on social media all together. More secure options include cropping out details on a card or opting for a selfie instead.

The USA is sitting on a stockpile of 10M doses of AstraZeneca vaccines. None of which as authorized for distribution in the USA at this time.

President Biden has elected to loan to Canada 2.5M doses which Canada has to return at a later date.

All Canadians are grateful to President Biden to help end this pandemic.

My man. Biden didn't pay for the vaccine. We did. The federal government has no money. It's our money. You need to thank the USA (me included), not Biden.

My man. Biden didn't pay for the vaccine. We did. The federal government has no money. It's our money. You need to thank the USA (me included), not Biden.

The Biden administration is finalizing plans to send millions of AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine doses stockpiled and waiting for official usage approval in the US over the border to Mexico and Canada, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

"I can confirm that we have 7 million releasable doses available of AstraZeneca," Psaki said at Thursday's White House press briefing. "2.5 million of those, we are working to finalize plans to lend those to Mexico and 1.5 million to Canada," she added.

President Joe Biden could announce the agreement upon finalization, which could happen as soon as Friday, CNN has learned. On Tuesday, Mexico's foreign minister said an announcement could come by the end of the week.

There are tens of millions of AstraZeneca doses stockpiled in the US and the company believes it will have roughly 50 million Covid-19 vaccine doses available to the US government by the end of April. None of those doses are available to Americans now because AstraZeneca has not applied to the Food and Drug Administration for an emergency use authorization, and the vaccine is still going through clinical trials in the US.

AstraZeneca has been approved for use in both Canada and Mexico, and the company itself has asked the Biden administration to consider requests to donate inventory to other nations.

A State Department spokesperson said that while President Biden has made the priority to vaccinate Americans clear he is also "deeply focused on the issue of expanding global vaccination, manufacturing, and delivery, which will all be critical to end the pandemic."

Your lack of gratitude to the American people is astonishing. It doesn't cost you anything to thank us.

Not surprising that you don't understand how government works. The federal government has NO money. They only use our money. That money paid for the vaccine that's going to Canada. So, he needs to not only thank Biden, he needs to thank the enormous generosity of the American people.

If he suffers the same complication that a number of Europeans have died from, that he can blame on Biden.

Canada has no one to blame but themselves for a vaccine shortage. Totally unprepared. The blame should go to Trudeau first...in my humble opinion. The problem is that SSG and copier addict give him a free pass.
