Good.. and the Irish equivalent has been home in Dundalk for about 15 months already.

Like you and IQ?.

Our local pharmacy .. which I need to visit typically 3 times a week, mostly for my son, is very much your Pharmacy Model 1. Dentistry in the UK is very low cost, compared with here.

I can understand why you are peeved / amused, but in fairness these things do happen ,and your going private probably increases the risk. The advice on the leftlet is actually pretty sound, Pharmacies are a really bad place to be,..you know the people going there tend to carry illnesses ... Who...

Torque is the force F applied at a distance R from the fulcrum... Fxd usually Newton metres . Fulcrum point of rotation or axle. When the wheel has rotated 1 revolution it has moved the force a distance of 2pi R and the work done is 2pi R F Joules . If it does this rotation in 1second the...

Fully agree.

"If the whole EU had thrown its entire resources into vaccine development and distribution, we might ALL have been better off by now." .. But it did!. Look at where the Pfizer Vaccine comes from, where it is made,and who funded Biontech. Look at the many other vaccine candidates which were not...

The UK were not in any way bound by EU EMA regulations. That is a smokescreen. Who in the EU were even prepared to police what a country outside the Union was doing with its population? The EU would have cared when it impacted the EU and EU citizens. Without visible policing you don't get...

Well this time he has a point. The UK rollout would have been a month later. No OG, the UK were not bound by EMA rules and procedures..in fact the charming lady in the validation committee was delightfully cavalier with the truth at the time. The wesel words were very well chosen, and...

You know Jhc, My Principal teacher in primary school would say " the person who would burn you for a fool would have wise ashes ", maybe it applies to you.

Witty repartee... You will go far, and in my opinion not far enough.

.. This is the good news... The rate of Covid-19 infections dropped 95.8 per cent among people who received both shots of Pfizer’s vaccine, Israel’s health ministry said on Saturday. The vaccine was also 98 per cent effective in preventing infections that caused fever or breathing problems and...

That is indeed the calculation. For my part, I am happier ,to forgo the jab at this time, remain in my semi cocoon ,in the expectation that even more vulnerable people, including my son , are fully protected sooner. Our calculation is that this reduces the pool of infection quicker in the long run

I understand that that is very normal. Remember that the vaccine has to invoke a response to be effective, and the effect is much more pronounced after the second jab, as the system is already sensitised . Hence the entire 2 jab strategy.

I fully agree. And nobody on this site is in disagreement. I can even go further, and if there is less hospital intervention , there will be less volume of virus material floating about. So it is a win all around. The evidence arising is that in the case of the Pfizer , (AZ is to early to...

Not according to the Israeli study. The level of protection falls with time and they were quoting 60% protection after some months. This is for the Pfizer vaccine. The data for the AZ would not be as developed. Now you either quote your data source ,,.as I have . RTE TV News , by their London...

1. I hadn't bothered referring to the AZ vaccine since it has not been in use sufficiently long. We will be happy to use it with the older cohorts, when the data supports it. 2. The Israeli figures for the Pfizer concur with the major reduction in hospital admissions and illnesses in the...

Nope!. A report referenced today on RTE , and to be made available in the HoC today, based on the Israeli studies shows that the single delayed dose strategy of the Pfizer is flawed. While it does INITIALLY give a boost , that its positive effect tails off with time. What was not addressed...

Cambridge???. What would they know?. Seriously. Is it not actually the total reverse. People who cannot handle ambiguity and complex interactions, who revel in the certainty of simplicity..and therefore fundamentalism. You know like Cambridge was invented for those fundementalists who...

That court challenge will go nowhere. Even if they had right on their side, ... and to a certain extent they do, they do not have might, and in this case it is Westminster. This time, the Unionist community, many of whom are very upright and decent folk, do not have history on their...
