And getting back on thread, BJ again and in the HoC threatened yesterday to derail the Northern Ireland Protocol.. This is serious , For the last 3 weeks people have been wandering around the Port of Larne and Belfast ,and recording car registration numbers . Then checking where in the East...

"Your words could tip the balance someone who is vaccine hesitant.". Yes JHC. Unfortunately that is true. However we cannot allow the ignorant to skew the debate. Truth must out.

Wicky. I think you are over egging the pudding. The position is that there is at present INSUFFICIENT evidence of the effectiveness of the AZ vaccine on the over 65s . There is zero evidence of it being ineffective. The reason being that in the rush to get it out, they had not included...

There are a number of postings here today objecting to running trials on the use of mixed vaccines . On the contrary, I welcome it. This is Science. At the moment we do not know whether mixing technologies is a good, a bad, or neutral thing. So do the experiments.

It works ok, provided the 30 man squad on each side have been held in quarantine systems for the 14 days before each match. Josh Adams broke that quarantine . Hopefully he reported or was excluded from meeting with the rest of the squad before he had the opportunity of infecting them ... . Of...

The thinking and decisions in Ireland are .. 1. Any of the vaccines are much better than none. 2. The AZ vaccine will by preference NOT be given to 70+ aged persons. The reason being that there is insufficient evidence that it is effective .. Not evidence that it is ineffective. Whereas there...

I had an enlightening conversation with my cardiologist recently .. now I was much happier and confident that this was the guy, who called himself a medical expert that was rooting around with rods and tubes and balloons in my heart , than the plumber who was fixing the toilets in the clinic...

On the contrary.. they have , but sometimes the expedient trumps the important. Or as the saying goes , when you are up to your knees in crocodiles, you sometimes forget, you were there to drain the swamp. That is much more likely to happen with political animals than academics, who confuse...

And that exactly is what we are trying to warn you about. God knows we all wish there was a magic bullet to make this go away.. and we kind of have it now. But ineptitude could yet blow it away. You have strongly aligned yourself with a Government position ... Not State ,not Establishment...

There is an underappreciated problem with underdosing. It is more understood with bacteria, but likely also with viruses. That of encouraging successful mutation. If one does not hit the infection long and hard and kill off ALL the bugs, a fraction ,who have a marginal protection against that...

"As ever, I’ll be led by the most respected medical experts in the U.K. and not by amateur commentary".... Wise words indeed, and in the opinion of the MEDICAL community that is the experts in the Jenner, and then the validation committee, which authorized its use, based on their...

The 28 day rule grossly distorts the data. Whether it under or over estimates it is unclear. The nature of CV19 is that deaths in ICUs can be long lingering affairs .

With respect, ..and I have never yet been to St Ives, .(. unfortunately the CV19 interfered with a wedding reception for a nephew we were scheduled for there this Summer, ) the reason the Coast Guard was reduced was because you had the French and Spanish, and Dutch watching your back for the...

And the one place where you have a border force.. Larne ,it is being stood down for Health and Safety reasons due to politically motivated intimidation.

The people I am referring to are Irish people working in these places, and we are much more freedom living than even you Brits ..We don't even que..

Respect for law!. In the event of breaking quarantine, they are on the next flight back from where they came I think you misunderstand the actual power behind the legislation on the Public Health Acts. Under the appropriate order it is Draconian....nearly literally!!. As before, I prefer not...

Rubbish. Mandatory Hotel Quarantine should have been introduced in both UK and Ireland 11 months ago. We are getting constant vox pop stories in the Irish media of how it works in Vietnam, in NZ,in Dubai ,in China . The person is confined to a hotel room for 14 days on arrival and meals...

This is a very sinister development. It has been on going for a few weeks and is directed at the loyalist workers by the loyalist paramilitaries for political ends. It is exactly the same tactic that brought down the original power sharing executive in 1984. There are only two things the UK...

I do agree with you on this ... there is a saying " pennywise pound foolish ", and investing in vaccine production and even paying over the odds is a worthwhile investment, if it gets the economy back up running even a month earlier. Which is why the very hard stringent lockdowns, Pandemic...

They are many months away from authorisation. They are only getting into their small scale trials now , with results hoped for at end April , then there is the large scale phase 3. So assume that these are next Octobers production.
