And in Brexit related news. The customs figures from January are available. Imports from the UK to Ireland was 35% of what it was a a year ago. In other.words a reduction of 65% . Now some of this is because of stockpiling ..but that was also a factor a year ago. Exports from Ireland to the UK...

Sticks in your throat.. the Irish Executive Director ... Emer Cooke.

Today's 18 th. March EMA statement: the benefits of the vaccine in combating the still widespread threat of COVID-19 (which itself results in clotting problems and may be fatal) continue to outweigh the risk of side effects; the vaccine is not associated with an increase in the overall risk...

Unfortunately OG , I have to agree with you. The only group politicising this has been UK centric.

Really?. Look at the timeline.!. Look at the EMA website. They did exactly what any competent authority does. They say, we are looking into it. But no reason to panic, they then send out requests for information, they issue a holding statement, then they get their data together and DO THE...

First it is excellent news and the 77K doses of AZ currently in stock in Ireland will be used ASAP. Secondly that is not EXACTLY what the EMA has said..it is that the benefits outweigh the risks, and that they will be continuing researching this potential side effect. A TCD Prof, Luke O...

Careful.. the rest of us refrain from calling you an idiot. What rational people understand is that the vaccine regulatory authorities in multiple EU and non EU countries have put a temporary hold on the innoculation with AZ, while an investigation is being carried out. So by definition the...

Would you not think they would return it first to where they got it from?. And that is the EU. Remember the US paid for these upfront and for a factory to produce them However the factory was built in the UK.. There is a hunger for vaccines in the EU also. We have a short hiatus while a...

"The risk is insignificant when contrasted against the benefit.".. that may be so. I await EXPERT advice on that topic.. Which I expect from the EMA. The EMA gets to consult with 27 National authorities. You do appreciate that the Paul Erlich Institute is the world class reference , linked...

..reading broadens the mind ..look at the numbers in the BMJ article. Now since it is my policy to respond 3 times on any topic, you have now exceeded your quota on this one.

Its no longer the Oxford vaccine, it is the AZ and now Covax .The extrapolation to other types. It is very likely that the Pfizer is at cost price to needy nations ..see the BMJ article, you have zero information on the cost structure for Sputnik and Sinovac, and the cost structure for AZ in...

Much as it pains me to say so but on the matter of ebike electrics .. Vfr 400 is about the best source. Now the majority of ebikes are standard bikes and there are loads of bike books . The motor is nearly a sealed box, and the ability of a person to effect repairs will be very limited ..Where...

Repetition doesn't make it any more true.

Breaking news. (Not confirmed ) ,but the EMA appear to have identified a mechanism by which the AZ vaccine induces blood clotting. ..an enhanced autoimmune response. That means they should be able to either dampen it or treat it or identify at risk patients.

..From BMJ 21 Jan... "AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson have committed to not making a profit from the pandemic, while Moderna and Pfizer did not. AstraZeneca reserved the right, however, to declare the pandemic phase over and take profits from later vaccine sales." Someone on this site...

Correction." The AZ vaccine ,using intellectual property from Oxford Jenner is being Currently supplied at cost ." The important word in your sentence is IS .. current time, not future plans. However none of us here have any knowledge on the funding models for Sputnik, or Sinovac, ..so your...

OG, I think the 9 M is an underestimate.. remember all the Pfizer is EU.,and only 11 M AZ vaccinations had been carried out until recently in the UK.

Brilliant conspiracy theory that. However even on the pages of this illustrious journal, we find that the AZ committment to "at cost" is a time limited endeavour, and post July , those bets are off. I am not including the Oxford Jenner in that.. their commitment is not financial profit driven...

Decision time!. Should I repeat Polly's refrain.

Wow, I have made the big time now.. To be insulted by You.and on the National Holiday ..It doesn't get better than this!.
