Nope!. The reverse . 85% of the vaccines provided to Ireland in January and February are in people's arms. by March 3rd.. I would trust the Cork Examiner more. The Moderna vaccine is the least used type and with the smallest stockpile. This is one of those cases where one can deliberately tell...

RTE news tries to have a good luck story each day, and todays one is very Brexit related. There is an English Shop in Brussels selling the stuff that the ex pats like.. Cream crackers, sausages, real rashers , Yorkshire Tea , Cadbury Chocolate ..maybe even Ovaltine. Well they were normally...

These "ad hominium" attacks are just tedious. There is enough real events to be outraged about.

While OGs quotation from that Lancet article focussed on the decision process which led the UK to defer the second Jab,. The attached section is rather chilling... And in the light of developments in the rise of the "UK variant".. prophetic. "The population risk is that the UK's delayed second...

According to a AZ corporate publicity statement on 19th. Feb, they reference 17 M doses produced . The context suggests it was in storage waiting for EMA approval. This was in the context of ramping UP production to 2M per week ..but then 2 weeks later, they say they can deliver at best 40% ...

The figures are confusing and trying to cut through the forest for the trees almost impossible. The simple question I was trying to answer is was . Which vaccines are being used, at what rate and what is the production rate. The graphic indicates how many in total the UK has put dibs on..not...

It was the EU directive issued on 30 th. January, which required a special license for any vaccines produced from within the EU to be exported outside of the EU, within s three month window. This was introduced as an emergency response because of the AZ failure to have the goods in stock ,in...

The image above, taken from the Irish Times if yesterday , is an untouched image of a murmuration of starlings over a lake in Westmeath.

In Ireland's case it is supply of AZ

Covid the virus which keeps on giving... Evidence is developing of higher incidence of still births in cases where the mother had an infection, not particularly acute!. The numbers are still insufficient to seriously affect birth rates , but clustering has been noticed

No. The EU has ,as far as I am aware, no problem with Pfizer the deliveries have been on schedule. It is AZ where the problem is. And the applicable court would be the European Courts, since AZ is incorporated in Sweden

We can agree to disagree on what the words" best efforts " means .That will no doubt appear in court.

Read my previous post!. Not only the ratification, which is an EU Parliament matter, but any discussion on financial services will now be long fingered. Simon Coveny, was as livid ,as he allows himself to be today, and used the" trust is broken " sentence at least 4 times in interview this...

"Someone said the NHS could vaccinate the whole country in one week if we had the vaccines."... That makes sense to me. Giving a jab is not rocket science. Anyone, especially St Johns Ambulance, Knights of Malt, Dentists, Vets, can do the job.. and as I have said, I have given myself the flu...

Again and reading the Zlathan provided article, the EU was a month behind , in ordering so everything else should only have been a month behind the UK. It now appears that the UK is importing AZ product from India.!

Thank you , I have read the article and yes, It is a fair enough summary of the history . It really is a case that the UK capitalised on the deliberation by the EU. It just meant that more product from Pfizer was available for the UK in December and from AZ in January.

Flecc, is slightly incorrect. The EU Parliament can sack the President of the Commission..however in doing so, they also sack or remove the portfolios of all the other Commissioners. This is logical because the other Commissioners are recommended into their posts by the President,and then...

Unfortunately I have served a life sentence to Science, with no time off for good behaviour. Far to late for me to wallow in alternative facts.

I could quibble that not giving the two jabs at the regulators agreed schedule constitutes no vaccination..and so would a court of law regarding any contract. But yes I fully accept that the UK has provided vaccination protection to a larger fraction of its population at this time. It is in this...
