Spain will create registry of people who refuse COVID vaccine

Spain's Health Minister, Salvador Illa, stated on Monday that the vaccine in that country
will not be mandatory, but if you refuse it, the refusal will be recorded in a database.

Spain's Health Minister Salvador Illa stated on Monday that the COVID vaccine in will not be mandatory in Spain, but if a person refuses it, that refusal will be recorded in a database.

"What will be done is a registry, which will be shared with our European partners... of those people who have been offered it and have simply rejected it," Said Illa on Spanish television. "It is not a document which will be made public and it will be done with the utmost respect for data protection," Illa continued.

This is not the first time that a country's government has called for stricter tracking of the public regarding the novel coronavirus.

According to IFL Science, the names of those people who refuse the vaccine "for whatever reason" will go into said registry, which will be made available to authorities across the European Union despite the promise of data privacy.

Spain started its vaccination campaign on Sunday amid a resurgence of the pandemic that has officials and the public alike worried. Spain currently has one of the highest rates in the world of both cases and deaths per capita, and it has been this way since March.

Ironically though, the Spanish public is not very eager for the vaccine, with an estimated 64 percent of Spaniards saying that they strongly agreed that they would get one as soon as it were made available. Most experts agree that 70 percent of the population would need to get the vaccine before lockdown restrictions could be eased.

"The way to defeat the virus is by vaccinating all of us," said Illa.

(CNN)A Colorado man has the variant of the coronavirus from the United Kingdom that health officials say is more transmissable than other strains of the virus, Gov. Jared Polis announced Tuesday.

It is the first known case of the UK coronavirus variant in United States.
The man, who is in his 20s and in isolation in Elbert County, has no travel history, Polis' office said in a news release. "An unknown travel history mean that this person picked it up the community," Dr. Atul Gawande, a member of the Biden-Harris transition Covid advisory board and a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital, told CNN.

"We will closely monitor this case," Polis said, "as well as all COVID-19 indicators, very closely."

The statement said public health officials are working to identify potential contacts and potential cases through contact tracing interviews.

Well with his unexpected return to the White House, who knows! Makes one wonder what this S.O.B. might be up too now!

My region is being pummeled right now, numbers are off the charts and all of the main hospitals are full.

I was able to register with my city yesterday as a frontline worker with a health condition that puts me at high risk for COVID complications. Hopefully the two points together bump me up on the timeline. One of my co-workers who is an EMT got her vax on Monday. My bestie who works in a hospital in NYC got hers yesterday.

I'm feeling salty at my co-workers who fussed about having a quiet christmas but who still went around visiting family or hosting family in their homes.
