Dragon4LunchI posted this on another board I am on that is also involved with Covid testing1.Very simple scientists have no idea how immunity lasts in people who are vaccinated
2. it is estimated that 30% of US population will not take a vaccine and it would be safe to say many other countries would have similar results
3. The virus is constantly mutating just like flu virus does, hence why people need to get updated flu vaccine annually to deal with projected flu virus. Currently scientists say Covid vaccines only works against some forms of the virus and may not be effective with South African and Brazilian variants and as the virus continues to mutate most likely will not be effective
4. ScreenPro is not solely focussed on Canada and currently bidding on huge $1.5B testing contract for London National Health Service(NHS) I suspect they have other countries that they will be entering also
5. World Population is 7B and vaccine manufacturers cannot produce enough vaccines to support world demand and scientists stated we need minimum 70% -85% of the world population vaccinated to create herd immunity. This will not happen, virus will mutate, new vaccines will need to be create etc rinse and repeat....
6. Even if Canada could vaccinate every person in the country which is not realistic as a large percentage will not accept, we constantly have people travelling in the country bringing new strains.
7. ScreenPro is not solely Covid testing. There are tests on the market for HIV, Ebola, Cancer. I suspect they will also look at other testing opportunities to add to their Arsenal.
8. Testing will be crucial for international travel to open up and so will digital passports tracking people who have been vaccinated and ScreenPro announce they have entered into an LOI to purchase a digital passport company.
Testing is not going away and will become the new normal. Covid will not disappear just like the common flu virus, it will change and mutate.
