What about the Pfizer jab? *googles phizer or pfizer*

Seriously good news.

Do you know I ran it two or three times hoping auto would kick in alas , what's worse I've worked on their stand's at numerous exhibitions .

And the first thing the beeb bring up after mentioning AZ are conducting similar trials is the ethical question around children who are not adversely affected by the disease.
I swear it's as if there is some level of desire for this situation to persist at some level,this cohort would be a significant tranche of society capable of meeting herd immunity.
Appreciate the biggest problem may be persuading the parents.

Where are the police?

If I were them, in a local cafe, not giving a f**k. Why bother?

Was reading about the famed herd immunity and one of the biggest barrier to achieving it is not being able to vaccinate enough people due to the groups who have to be excluded for some reason (those being treated for other things, age restrictions, pregnant etc). If we can open up another group who can be vaccinated then we're a step closer to going back to 'normal'.

The other thing that was mentioned was that herd immunity relies on the vaccinated not only protecting themselves but no longer being infectious, some early real world data showing some positive results in that direction as well.

Sounds like France going back into a hard lockdown after months of trying to avoid it. Just incredible what's happening in Europe right now compared to here.

Cretinfest '21 off with a bang

Gonna be a long long summer.

Yep....its looking an absolute shit-show.....its certainly clear that piss poor leadership & a denial or refusal to follow scientific evidence is not just the preserve of the British government.

And they're still trying to pour s on ontheAZ vaccine. Absolute madness

Amazing how few of the wankers in the park seem to have jobs

Also end of financial year, with companies demanding holiday's actually used rather than a month's worth being carried over.

The other aspect of vaccinating children I think would be the much vaunted need for effective ,continual non disrupted education and of course the mental health equation too.

For their own slice of normality.

Shouldn’t need that schools are safe and they never transmit

 

[chiefdave]

Does anyone else get confused by the efficiency percentages that get thrown around? When it was posted that the Pfizer jab has 100% efficiency in kids I googled to check what it was in adults as I had a feeling it was lower than that. You get all sorts of figures thrown back ranging from 52 - 95%.

And it seems efficiency can cover a wide range of things from not getting covid at all, not being symptomatic, hospital admissions or deaths, each with their own different figures.

I just want to know if its safe to go to the pub!

Id imagine a large amount of them are Nottingham Trent and Uni of Nottingham students tbh

Back to the vaccine passport issue some interesting, and unexpected, results here.

Majority of Britons support vaccine passports but recognise concerns in new Ipsos MORI UK KnowledgePanel poll

New survey shows significant support for vaccine passports however, some are concerned about the potential issues they could cause

The results I expected to be honest.

That is really good news, would really appreciate any links to that kind of stuff if you get a second mate

I can see both sides of this tbh, I’m 52 and the last year has been a fricking nightmare but I’ve behaved and ‘on the whole’ stuck to the rules, me at 16, 17, 18 etc I’m not so sure I’d have been so compliant.

Lowest active cases since October 8th.

I wouldn’t have trashed the park at that age

 

[Brylowes]

Yep, this is what I said to Grendal the other day, fairly easy to package and sell the idea of vaccine passports to the general public, many of who would be proud and eager to carry one, less would consider the many complications and contradictions such a move would throw up.

 

[Brylowes]

Me either, but I might have been in attendance at a clearly planned gathering of my peers.

Agree. But I would have been a lot more responsible for what I left behind. And it IS getting worse. The local shops to me, in not a bad area, regularly has gas cannisters strewn around the car park, as if the guys are trying to make a statement.

Me, I always put me old rizlas and empty tin foil in the bin.

Not surprised they got carried away and can’t blame them too much, but at least clear up after yourselves !!! (Not just the kids, everyone who piled down the parks and beaches)

This is more what annoys me to be honest, just trashing the place and expecting someone else to clean it all up. Not like there's no bins in the park FFS

 

[CCFCSteve]

Its going to be a free for all over the next few weeks. No 2 ways about it.
Bank Holiday weekend will be carnage.
I'm staying in the garden!

Think temps are due to drop from tomorrow...possibly snow next week...the good old Great British weather !

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

500,000 jabs today, 225k first, 275k second. Another 900,000 of Groups 1-9 still to go.

I suspect with that volume of peoplethere, they ended up rather full anyway.

Right but I mean it's not much to just take your own stuff away with you even if the bins are full.

His behaviour on this thread is a disgrace. I can undersstand where the likes of you and Liquid_Gold are coming from, but he's descended to ridiculing experts and mocking the afflicted, before playing the victim when they respond. Imagine if I were to wade in two-footed on the mental health thread after he announced his diagnosis?

It's nothing on the same level whatsoever.

You, and some people, want others locked down for your own benefit. That has nothing to do with attacking a mental health diagnosis, and once again, trying to draw that comparison the make your own side of the story akin to victimhood is ridiculous.

Just because I can't afford a Ferrari, doesn't mean I don't want anyone else to have one just because I can't.
