It's exactly the same situation where the UK Government can ban vaccine exports by not banning exports, and citing commercial contracts , whereas those contracts had export limitations built in at Government insistence

Do you make a hobby out of being an eejit?. On the contrary it is blind chance. Every time the virus gets into a cell and starts replication, only a small fraction of the output is identical with the input, .. that is 100% identical. More are 98%, and less and less have more defects until a...

Generally yes. Survival of the fit , means that for viruses , the ability to keep the host live and producing copies is the best strategy. But the CV19,is already very good at that. Its trick of being infective while in stealth mode , is masterly. But what if a mutation decides to over drive...

Except it has. The chances of me making an atomic bomb are limited .. I know the theory, I have even done experiments on neutron activation , but the materials are rather hard to find. .. And that is no accident. The chances of me getting my hands on a shotgun are high. So yes I could get...

Well I understood was to stick them with the pointy bit

Nope!. The EU started a month behind the UK with Pfizer . The EU started about a month behind UK with AZ. From the get go the AZ was in short supply. Because it did nor exist. From the get go the Pfizer and Moderna was in limited supply because the EU allowed Pfizer to honour its commercial...

There is a saying that when you are up to your neck in crocodiles, its easy to forget you went there to drain the swamp. I really expect that is where Whitty saw himself and the UK in mid December.. .. official management speak is" the urgent displaces the important."

Careful now flecc.. thems fighting words .. Intelligent and educated .. be damned.

..We cannot get enough of it!. Even you in the UK cannot make enough of it, which is why you want to import from India. Meanwhile the EU has exported 42M doses around the world ,mainly of the Pfizer ..including 10million to the UK since February. Where do you think that Israel, and Canada and...

There are other AZ plants. .. That one is a very new plant ,but there is another in Belgium's and the bottling plant or finishing plant is in Italy.

As have my two kids.. One in the heart of crisis control with the police and the other at the cutting edge of the virus lab. But that point is that the Bristol Riots and the Woman protest etc are actually being fuelled by the illusion of invincibility. The failure of Lockdown is a failure...

..They don't if they continue in lockdown.

Z, that is a half truth. Had the UK an infinite supply of the vaccine, they would have been able to vaccinate everyone with the first dose within a week. Every Knight of Malta, Student Nurse, Paramedic, Vet, could have done it along with the standard NHS people.. ReMember on a certain day in...

The EU has lost 4days worth of vaccine time with what was 10% of its product.. or a reduction in production of 0.4days . Well more significant in Ireland because it took us 6 days to get back on track, and we use 20% of AZ in our mix but then we had to deal with our National Holiday and beating...

Let me ask you a very simple question. Why is the AZ or Pfizer bottle only giving 5 or 6 doses ?. Could they not just mix it with a litre of saline drip and multiply the number of people by 1000. Then the entire population could be done over a weekend. I suspect I know the answer.

Wow OG.. I never knew that Fauci had said that. When I first voiced those concerns here, I was not aware that real experts were thinking on those lines. My concern was based on intuition.

Read less from the Mail and the Telegraph. The AZ vaccine ..no longer the Oxford vaccine, remains in short supply on the continent. And yes recent events have not improved confidence in it, with two more cases including a fatality in Holland. It wasn't Macron , ..he was just repeating what...

Which part of availability have you a difficulty understanding. ?. The contract with the UKs NHS stipulated that there could be no exports until their quota was fulfilled..which had not happened. So it would have made no difference whether the EU had signed, before, during or 3 months later...

You cannot use what you don't have. .. the availability of the AZ has been so erratic that it is of minor consequence in Europe. 10%.. Except in Ireland,20% where we will lap up all we can and could get.. Incidentally my lad got his first dose this morning.

Its where they start making the cut that matters,. If the initial incision is at the neck...
