    Sounds excellent. My mother had both eyes done and the improvment was astonishing. Despite her having macular degeneration. (They originally said they would only do one, but that was so successful they decided to do the second.)

    A bit of good news: Boris Johnson’s Scotland-Northern Ireland tunnel plans axed Construction of ‘world’s most stupid tunnel’ scrapped as Treasury clamps down on spending I didn't realise it hadn't already been consigned to some dustbin of lunatic plans.

    You might well be right. But I still don't see any manufacturer information to support that. And our government has repeatedly claimed to be operating in accord with manufacturer information and MHRA licensing, etc.

    I understand everything you said. But still no manufacturer support for a single-dose approach, is there? Also, if speaking of Pfizer, ... Boys more at risk from Pfizer jab side-effect than Covid, suggests study US researchers say teenagers are more likely to get vaccine-related myocarditis...

    That looks like whitewash. :) (Anyone actually remember using distemper?)

    I think I heard that 12-15 year olds will be offered vaccination. But only one injection. Anyone aware of any evidence that a single dose of the existing two-dose options is viable and supported by the manufacturers?

    There is an issue when someone had two different vaccines - as NOT recommended by manufacturers but sometimes necessary (for example, when the person has a bad reaction to the first vaccination). Or when the time between them conflicts with manufacturer advice.

    That seems possible. I know some shops are clear about their fresh milk being Welsh, but the rest just say British - which could (obviously) mean NI. We only buy the occasional pint/litre for cooking purposes as we don't usually consume any liquid milk (e.g. coffee, tea, cereals). But some...

    The specific issue that has repeatedly surprised me is absolutely no milk whatsoever in Aldi. (We hardly ever buy any - but it is usually a pretty significant section and its (usual) whiteness makes it very obvious.)

    It is a dilemma. Added to the possiiblities of side effects from vaccination, etc., there is also the psychological impact of a child realising that their beloved parents, grandparents or others, were infected because the child brought Covid to them. Especially if they die. No actual...

    And that gets back to my argument that the total available does not, to the best of my knowledge, exclude those who cannot be vaccinated - such as those undergoing chemo (specific example known to me - there are many others).
