    UKHSA ... permanent standing capacity to plan, prevent and respond to external threats to health... I really, really hope they are not actually planning external threats to health. We have enough threats already. Or is it trying for easy goals? Plan a threat, then prevent it because you...

    Just a reminder, in case anyone needs it, that all side effects of Covid-19 vaccines, indeed pretty much anything to do with Covid-19, can be reported: https://coronavirus-yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/ I encourage everyone who has appropriate reason to do so - even if it is a suspicion rather than...

    Good to see The Sun is up to its usual standards - AstraZenca? Can't even type the company's name properly.

    And it still got reported despite those who attended being asked to scrub the remarks from their notes. With that sort of attitude, no wonder his flat refurb was so expensive...

    I suspect it could, if the right people were minded to act, result in her being chucked out of the profession for her behaviour - now self-admitted.

    What I am unclear on is whether we can get infected with the exact same version - twice (or more). Anyone know for sure?

    I have many times seen it claimed that the AZ is worse if you have had Covid-19. But the second dose is (usually) less bad than the first. Not sure if that follows if you have had Covid-19. (But second dose of PB is worse than the first.) All subject to revision!

    Didn't at least one person here suggest she was speaking some sort of truth? A key member of the legal team that sought to steal the 2020 election for Donald Trump is defending herself against a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit by arguing that “no reasonable person” could have mistaken her...

    Seems to read that the USA's FDA has not approved dexamethasone. Not even as an emergency treatment.

    It also makes sense as some colds are caused by corona viruses. Common human coronaviruses, including types 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1, usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold. Most people get infected with one or more of these viruses at some...

    Took me back - to the 1960s when they operated directly from the beach at Lee on the Solent. By heck, they were noisy. PS Isle of Wight!

    What constitutes a government building? In Wales, things like castles (at least our local one) already fly the union flag - and the flag of Wales. Every day. Are we now expected to see flags on hospitals, job centres, police stations, railway stations, abutments, air shafts, piers, storage...

    In case you hadn't heard, there is a trial: Com-COV trial mixing first and second doses of Pfizer and AZ - both ways round. Have heard from someone who is on it and does not know which way round they have received them.
