I wore a short-sleeved shirt and bodywarmer. Adequate on the day and easy access for the vaccinator.

One of the interesting things that might fallout from these decisions is a real-world comparison of the safety and effectiveness of the various vaccines. If geographically similar areas, with clear borders, use different vaccines, who knows what we will see?

They didn't have that requirement here. Just as well as it was quite cold when I had mine done. Were you allowed to re-clothe before or after "recovery"?

Do people really change their minds so fluidly? I certainly have not changed my opinion of Johnson in many years. Well, in detail, maybe. But my overall opinion has only sunk a bit. But given by how low it already was, sinking any further is quite an achievement.

Even if exceptional circumstances required exceptional measures, they should not have been implemented behind closed doors, in private communications. I wonder if any other companies did NOT get such treatment? Maybe they will start shouting?

Don't miss the Russian-owned company which worked on it...

Johnson has lost a minister - Mercer. Defence minister Johnny Mercer resigns from government Mercer’s decision is understood to relate to concerns about prosecutions of Northern Ireland veterans

And Man City.

Whatever caution I might have felt about the Covid vaccines, it is as nothing to the scepticism I have over home pill to cure Covid that seems to be being rushed out: UK in drive to develop drugs to take at home to ‘stop Covid in its tracks’ Ministers announce taskforce to ‘supercharge’ search...

To shame the government and the lack of clarity of their messages. Mind, difficult when they have no shame.

I know nothing of the football aspects of the plan. But when other commercial organisations go out to make money, they get praised. Greed is why we have a vaccine, so we read.

Johnson says government will do 'everything we can' to stop European super league going ahead as proposed Hasn't he got enough on his plate? And just why does he feel he has the right to dictate to commercial organisations what they should or shouldn't do? Doesn't seem to apply in other areas...

Looks like he read my post! :) Coronavirus: Boris Johnson cancels India trip amid rising cases

I see this headline: Labour urges Boris Johnson to cancel trip to India over Covid risk Steve Reed says PM should ‘set an example’ and conduct his scheduled meetings via Zoom And wonder if Labour had ever thought of encouraging him to go? (We don't yet appear to fully appreciate whether...

Reminds me of... SCENE: BISHOP'S BREAKFAST TABLE. Bishop (to timid Curate on a visit). "Dear me, I'm afraid your egg's not good!"; Timid Curate. "Oh, yes, my Lord, really – er – some parts of it are very good." Originally published in Judy, 22 May 1895.

As so often, it all depends on where you read it! London’s R rate has climbed above 1 for the first time in months, meaning the spread of the virus may no longer be slowing across the capital. https://www.cityam.com/breaking-london-r-rate-grows-above-1-for-first-time-in-months/

R rate in London reported to have risen something like 0.7 to 1.0 (might have the figures slightly wrong).

Yesterday I heard (again) the suggestion that we will need a so-called booster vaccination in September. I wonder whether planning for that has been done? Or will we see most of the current vaccination processes, centres, distribution, etc., dismantled. Then suddenly realise they need to...

If the government had taken the advice and implemented it, fine. They didn't. They received the advice and appeared about to reject it. Thus they found the advisers believing they had to use something close to blackmail - threatening to leave. I understand an adviser who thinks their advice is...

Nor do I! But part of what I actually appreciate about the UK is that I am free to criticise the government, sometimes that appears to mean just about every one of its members and most actions that it takes. Or doesn't take.
