Hooray, The Vaccines Are Coming--But We're Not Through This Yet

Description

The world is rejoicing that the first vaccinations against COVID-19 have been jabbed into the arms of grateful Britons. However, health experts say getting vaccinated is by no means a free pass to live in the "Before Times," maskless and hanging out in crowds. According to Business Insider, infectious-disease pharmacist Debra Goff warns that we still don't know how long the vaccine's protection will last. Likewise, we also don't know whether it prevents recipients from continuing to spread the virus to other people. What's more, the vaccine also won't protect recipients right away, and, for a small percentage of the population, won't protect them at all. Still, vaccinated people can start making plans for 2021 and look forward to resuming aspects of the old normal as more and more people get vaccinated.

Wild, Wild World: How Criminals Can Exploit The Coming Vaccine Tsunami

Interpol has warned that criminal organizations are planning to infiltrate or disrupt supply chains related to COVID-19 vaccines. But that's not the only way bad guys might try to cash in on the coming global vaccine bonanza. According to Business Insider, groups may try to sell counterfeit or expired vaccines, on a small-scale or a large-scale basis. Criminals may also try to 'sell' vaccines online, in an attempt to steal personal data and credit card numbers. They may also try to extort companies, or hold supply chains hostage in return for ransom money. Finally, they could do a better job than governments at vaccinating neighborhoods, thereby installing themselves as a semi-legitimate, parallel government.
