That turns out not to be the case. Few vaccines are perfectly effective. The reduce the chances of contagion not eliminate it. When there are few sources of contagion then it is eliminated before the contagion spreads. Thereby providing the misnamed herd immunity for both vaccinated and unvaccinated. Herd immunity is not actually an immunity at all. It is just that you cannot catch what is no longer there to be caught.

Why? You ask me this? Shouldn't you be asking them? A US judge cannot order Microsoft Ireland to do anything unless it trades in his jurisdiction. Which I don't believe it does. Why should not a judge be required to understand everyone else's law? Every other country is required to understand the US's. All I ask for is reciprocity there. Oh, when are you going to turn over those CIA agents that broke international, Italian and US law by renditions? With a US government willing to kidnap and kill those that it chooses to the US cannot be considered a country that respects the laws of others.

The real issue at stake here is the very notion of cloud storage versus location storage. Not just laws and controls but existence. If I pump something into the cloud then it should be a cloud and where the data actually resides should be obscure at best. I would have thought that best practice for a cloud supplier would be to have everything RAIDed around the planet. Multiple redundancy, only fragments on any particular server.
