Well I know you don’t but us in the UK do - the EU blockade vaccines and we are in big trouble

I hope you are correct but now you have France and germany sabre rattling today - it could quite easily get out of hand

Well at least you aren’t in Europe! Seriously the political situation here is spiralling out of control and it’s going to turn very very nasty out here if things don’t get dialled down the EU supported by germany and France especially are now threatening to stop any vaccine being exported to...

just to reply to this. The upward trend for a few days in the UK was due to 1.6 million tests being done through the week per day. This was compared to an average of 800,000 tests per day the previous week. We are all testing secondary (11 plus) school children twice a week with LFT and will do...

Oh god I agree with you! The EUs vaccine roll out is a mess not helped by some stupid comments about AZ by some leaders and the continued suspicion surrounding it. I’m pleased with the roll put in the UK just doesn’t seem to make any difference to our leaders who will have more restrictions in...

sorry to be a bit pedantic but the UK is in europe (unless we have moved haha) but just not in the EU (and thank goodness we aren’t in terms of vaccine roll out) Although believe me it makes no difference that we have vaccinated 23 million over our 67 million population and have a ramp up over...

You do realise that to not allow people into the US who have had a WHO approved vaccine which is going to be the mainstay for the most of the countries around the world, many of whom are regular visitors to the US, is very unlikely. All of the real time information coming out about AstraZeneca...

it actually wasn't your post that bothered me tbh just to be clear. I agree there is an element of what you are saying - even in the UK some wanted the Pfizer one but our govt basically said you get what you're given and thats it - there's been no issue with uptake otherwise.

You misunderstand me - its not that you are using the others first - of course you would and if AstraZeneca is not needed then great im sure many more countries would be very grateful. It was the tone of the comments made on here making out they were third rate, 'dollar tree' vaccines that you...

im actually astonished at some of the vaccine elitism on here. Some of things said about Astra Zeneca are similar to the remarks by people in Germany and Italy which has meant that they've had to start to beg people to have it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the vaccine and I really hope...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02/18/exclusive-covid-jabs-data-can-pave-way-freedom/ Being reported in papers tonight. Behind a paywall unfortunately but basically says that real world data from the uk vaccine roll out shows both pfizer and AstraZeneca cut transmission by 2/3 after just...

I will say for the final time - I have never not worn one, if I don’t want to wear one I don’t go out, I don’t think I’m exempt but the bickering only came from me saying I don’t want to wear one forever and they cause me problems - then I got some really quite hurtful replies

Thank you so much for your considerate reply :) I really am open to any opinion and I appreciate people will be different from me and that is fine - we have a different opinion on acceptable risk and that is okay too. I managed to go on holiday last year, and spend a few wonderful days in...

thank you for your reasonable response - I do wear a clear one each time but I do suffer a lot from throat issues anyway so there is a weakness there - just exacerbated possibly by multiple factors I guess. Just to reiterate - I’m not exempt so don’t try and use that and wear one wherever I go...

t came after SAGE expert Professor John Edmunds told ITV's Peston that most curbs on daily life — which may include the Rule of Six — are likely to be in force until the end of this year, while less restrictive curbs — like face mask wearing on public transport and indoors — could possibly be in...

Oh my goodness I mistakenly said for instead of from and you jump down my throat! do you genuinely believe in wearing masks every time you step outside your house? I genuinely cannot understand this? And you’re quite prepared to do this forever? Well I’m not I have to say - I wear one within...

Okay again speaking for the UK here - one problem with science is that it is supposed to be apolitical and objective. Of course we know science can never be truly value free due to the fact its human led but still.. My issue is with the SAGE group in the UK. We have a situation now where member...

So do you actually think 10 years in jail is proportionate? We are going down a really sticky path here one which is boxed in with no escape - it’s so difficult to lift these sorts of travel restrictions once they are in as Australia etc are finding! viruses mutate that is their natural path...

That’s the worry - our PM seems perpetually spooked by the scientists now and we do have SAGE scientists spouting off on every need program they can find over here terrifying everyone so people are just asking for more and more restrictions my sister hasn’t seen my mum properly jn over a year...

problem for us is you got rid of your liability in office thank goodness but we havent!
