A newspaper misinterpreted that. The German government are just saying there's not enough data... yet. That also seems the approach of France. Whenever the data is there to prove it's fine for over 65s, they'll use it.

Come off it

What category are you in Torch?

The French one even says it!

These data will arrive in the coming weeks. In the meantime we recommend its use for people under 65 years old,

Im sure it does but it’s a politically motivated decision to justify the screw up - everyone knows it

Deaths stubbornly high but probably for a while

Coming down Pete but at a snail's pace.
Would be great to see some big incremental drops but I think that's wishful thinking.

What’s the lag from vaccination? Two weeks for it to work, plus what two weeks for a case to turn to death? Where were we for vaccinations a month ago?

What does one do about a vaccine sceptic in the family though. My sister works in care homes and hasn't signed up to get it yet. My mother was the same but she went and had it done after something in the news spooked her.

She's not normally an anti vax nutter, all her kids are vaccinated and everything. She's just worried about the speed it's been developed in.

I've been on at her about her putting the residents at risk, that it's been approved, linking to studies about it working and she's still not making her mind up. I don't want to put too much pressure on her and put her off the whole thing just to piss me off but I want her to get fucking jabbed.

Any advice?

Drown her. If she survives, then she’s a witch.

Or something like that, I dunno.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

My sister kept saying everyone’s entitled to their opinion and when she said no one even knows about treatment and what causes infection to spread

I said I’m out of the discussion
if there’s no rational or logical argument I don’t have time to waste listening to her tripe

That said you guys were reasonably patient with me about Burge

Do the Swiss medical authorities know it?

Well they again have been rather poor in the vaccine race

Good chocolate though

How do you mean poor? In terms of approvals? They've been pretty well aligned with countries like the United States, for example.

Regardless of how they're handling the rollout overall, I think their decision shows that an EU federalist conspiracy isn't the only obvious reason why regulators would hit the brakes on the AZ vaccine.

Or you are for some reason desperate to show there isn’t a conspiracy as the tide is turning against our beloved EU comrades block of nations

Make sure you follow it up with a right to the body and possibly a second jab before the hayemaker.

Im sure good vaccines manufactured in Switzerland as well

Another long day of superspreading at the office, was it?

One of my former research colleagues is working there now in a similar field

Oh dear - I thought according to you I work in McDonald’s - how is the Harrow branch doing?

Well exactly - they are producing the other approved vaccine

Not sure about that she's barely 5 ft 5 and needs a step ladder to work in her fume hood!

They also have a bit of a name for injecting people and them dying as well.......

Happy about the vaccine rollout worried about the rest of the world

Lies lies lies. Money well spent bringing her in to lead test and trace...back in October to the select committee she said "no one had anticipated a second wave"...now "no one anticipated mutations...."

12 billion for someone who hasn't got a fucking clue.
Stolen from the public purse in broad daylight and indirectly responsible for how many deaths?

She doesn’t even know why her teas gone cold to be fair.

she's had enough of experts.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

They seem to be getting people vaccinated quickly so just waiting for them to say we have decided we can improve this and have brought in a specialist.

Wonder how we’re going to manage the top groups getting their second jabs in time while also maintaining first jabs for the groups after.

Been saying this for a while but I do know they're trying to get Stoneleigh Deer Park up and running as a 24hr operation though there are some challenges to ovecome.
I'd imagine they're trying to do the same in other centres around the country.

I saw some talk about ring fencing the second jabs?

not sure what you mean? Stopping first time jabs while the second round is completed?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

One of the scientific advisors was suggesting that some doses are held back specifically for second jabs while we know we have the stock
