I thought he'd been isolating for the entire duration tbh
Starmer isolating for a third time.
politicians seem to have this app ping more than anyone
It’s sounding like getting the vaccine from source is likely to be a problem.
OopsNick will be wanting commission at this rate !

True sorry NickNick will be wanting commission at this rate !
Reading between the lines there was always going to be an issue. This morning Zahawi basically admitted it. I don't know why they couldn't have been truthful from the start.
However, it still appears to be going well. It wasn't feasible to undertake a task of this size without issues along the way.
True sorry Nick
Germany have now admitted the 8% effectiveness story was a lie.
Fury at 'incorrect' claim Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is 8% effective
German newspaper Handelsblatt published the figure citing senior sources in the country's Government. But Oxford and AstraZeneca have hit back saying the claims are 'completely incorrect'.www.dailymail.co.uk
They have been to be fair Clint. Over the past couple of weeks (after majority of the network of vaccinations of centres were set up) they’ve kept saying we’re set up to do as many as supplies will allow us to.
There is also a fine balance though...slatting the companies that potentially have the country’s (worlds) lives in their hands, who are trying to roll out billions of vaccinations across the world as quickly as possible, isn’t a great look either.
Everybody back in
I'm going to go with this for now:
“No idea where their number comes from. I know 8 percent is the percentage of people over 65 in the study, but not the efficacy. Not sure if the reporter got mixed up. MHRA would not approve a vaccine with 8 percent efficacy.”
Plus I don't know anything about German newspapers and which ones talk bollocks and which ones don't.

Well there’s a lesson from my Twitter bubble. So many people saying “Handselblat are credible, they’ve got a lot to lose if they’re wrong” and they’ve made what looks like a total schoolboy error.
I don't agree Steve. I saw several interviews where ministers were asked why aren't we vaccinating 24/7, why aren't we using pharmacies and when they skated round the questions they were asked I'd there a problem with supply which they denied there was when.it was obvious. Still, we are where we are and as I said, it seems to be going pretty well.
Agree there was strangely some reticence to start with (doesn’t make sense why as it’s out of the governments hands) but also they hadn’t got the centres fully up and running
Heard both Johnson and Whitty last week and Hancock last night suggest supply would be the main issue with roll out timescales. As you say though, we are where we are. As long as we’re in a position to administer as quickly as it lands I’d take that

“Germany” admits though. It’s one newspaper. Not ‘Germany’. Fucking England and their headlines.
If the world is going to pick a newspaper to report on what's going on here there's really only one option
Embarrassing noises currently coming from the EU regarding vaccines...its making them look like a bunch of incompetent panic merchants playing the blame game......
...I've just been reading about the German MEP who reckons it should be no problem getting exports the AZ vaccine from the UK into the EU......yet only a few weeks ago was warning that UK patients would die due to a lack of medical supplies as a result of brexit.....make your mind up Herr Liese...

That’s sort of what I thought, another reason to 2nd jab in the recommended 3 - 4 weeks.
I’ve thought all along this would be the route to the obligatory government fuck upand I still do.
For people you aren't weird right wing floofs
Here is the bbc now reporting a story the rubbished earlier on
Coronavirus: Vaccine supply fears grow amid EU export threat
The EU calls for "fair" distribution after vaccine companies cut back on pledged supplies.www.bbc.co.uk
Big issue if lack of vaccines extends gap between vaccines by longer than 12 weeks
I’m expecting that and would applaud it if I’m honest. Vaccinate top 4 groups and then give the second one to those next. Mum has her date for start of April though so I assume everyone else has tooYeah, that’s why I wouldn’t be surprised if they started focussing on second jabs sooner, certainly before roll out to under 60s.
...oh look...it even quotes Herr Liese.....maybe hes a member of the DERP party.
Fuck - looks like my Superinjunction has expired.If the world is going to pick a newspaper to report on what's going on here there's really only one option
