I am very much not convinced by that. I don't think it is strength, rather the precise range of virus shapes that our immune systems are primed to recognise. Imagine a new variation which infects two vaccine recipients. In one, who received vaccine A, the priming means that their immune system...

If we have enough AZ/PB, or will have, why get Moderna as well?

Isn't that assuming we have enough AZ/PB to give second injections? Maybe we have, but maybe we haven't.

We'll be getting Moderna from April. Save arguing about AV/PB. :)

And another bit of the "put the dough into a slightly warm oven for not very long" approach to government: Lorry drivers arriving in England must take Covid tests from 6 April, says minister Grant Shapps says drivers from outside Britain and Ireland staying more than 48 hours will need to take...

Sweep it under the carpet, Mr. Corbett?

Umm, wouldn't they not be their children were that the case?

Don't you love the inevitability of the state the bleedin' obvious language?: It was his second term of office and he was married to now ex-wife Marina, mother of their four children. Just who else could be mother of their four children? Anyway - now I have skimmed through, it reads pretty...

Meanwhile, the government scraps another scheme: The government has scrapped its flagship green homes grant scheme, the centrepiece of Boris Johnson’s promise to “build back greener” from the Covid-19 pandemic, just over six months after its launch. The abandonment of the £1.5bn programme...

But what sort of a plan is that? The trials of Novavax have been two doses. Not, so far as I am aware, a single dose as a booster. https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n296 Is it another make-it-up-as-you-go (making sure you keep your fingers crossed and don't step on the lines of the pavement)?

Stuck in the Suez Canal. Another Suez crisis.

One way of viewing what has happened so far: Pembrokeshire County Council Leader, Councillor David Simpson, has provided a further coronavirus update for Friday, March 26. “On Tuesday we marked the one year anniversary of the first UK lockdown. “It was a poignant moment and I’d like to once...

Anyone think Salmond has a chance? Or is it albalocks?

However, the fact that almost all the dates of restriction are during 2020 rather suggests that there was not a long-term restriction (though how many were dated with renewal of restriction dates, I cannot tell). Remember, before January 2020 we were assured of huge stockpiles of medicines so...

Amateurs. Rank amateurs. Real squandering is counted in billions. Ask at Number 10 and 11... Liverpool council may have squandered up to £100m of public money

In that Reuters link: Farming and environment minister George Eustice said the increased cost of trading with the EU does mean small consignments of goods, usually sent in mixed loads by small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), might no longer be viable. So that wipes out everyone who...

Just to be clear - have exports of any of these to non-EU destinations changed? Up or down.

People denying the reality of disease has a long heritage. I happened across this example today. They don't deny the existence of a disease, but its seriousness. (Mind, they are pretty casual about influenza and malaria as well!) “SPANISH FLUE,” or “RAPID FLUE” as it is called in some...

Wonder how long this will take to complete? When there are ongoing issues, investigations should be run so as to get the worst failings fixed as quickly as possible. Response of NHS 111 to the COVID-19 pandemic We have launched a national investigation into NHS 111’s response...

As I read it, no ladders but lots of snakes.
