I'd rather they were the world's best. :) Reads as if they are like the waiting staff at a function literally surrounded by the world's best.

Though being supplied under Janssen branding! Perhaps they will end up renaming themselves Janssen & Janssen? :)

I wouldn't use Johnson as a tipster! :)

Pedantic question: Can we get herd immunity by vaccination? Is the term appropriate when it is the result of vaccination rather than infection and recovery? Particularly as much of the effect of the existing vaccine appears to be to reduce symptoms, often dramatically, rather than render us...

The very last thing we want right now, from a selfish UK point of view, is USA approving AZ and lots being sent there! Also ironic that we went from no older people (e.g. over 65) getting AZ because it is dangerous. To no women under 55 getting AZ because it is dangerous (blood clots). To safe...

He did his usual incoherent mumble when someone asked what that actually meant. I see it as words to placate those who are anti-lockdown. Without real commitment or meaning.

With a potential two-month delay in our vaccination program, the gaps could extend further.

On the poll I have previously mentioned, side effects reports have risen steadily. Now about 19.5% report side effects other than the ones we are specifically advised as being common. That was nearer 10% to begin with. (I suspect quite a few who have no side effects worth mentioning do not do...

Depends on how you interpret - Sputnik is approved in Hungary.

If, by "genetically modify" you mean that it changes your DNA and the genetic material you would pass on to any offspring, then no, it doesn't do that. What makes something a "genuine vaccine"? Getting a dose of cowpox was not a genuine vaccine. Vaccines simply tried to trigger the reaction in...

Hmmm... BBC reports: Election watchdog quizzes Tory party over funding of PM's flat makeover Difficult to square £60,000 on refurb with charitable status. In my simplistic opinion.

Somewhat ironic to see China and Russia - with their own vaccines - somewhat further down the list.

That's gone and done it! Now that Johnson has recommended AZ, not sure I (or anyone else) will ever trust it. The facile, stupid, "it didn't hurt" as a basis for us to accept it is so insulting to those who have had side effects, sometimes serious, and almost never within a couple of hours...

I'd rather have an anti-cancer jab...

That document says: "Hold the syringe the way you would a pencil. " Given some of the bizarre ways I've seen people grasp writing implements, that is a questionable description.

What is the advice for an individual who receives the AZ vaccine? Any specific time? Or signs and symptoms? What should they do if the suspect an issue? Or will it be too late?

People who cannot absorb vitamin B12 (as in Pernicious Anaemia) often have very frequent injections - up to every day. Often self-administered. From time to time, I have read of reports where they have unexpectedly felt as if some of the injected liquid has squirted back out. The usual...

The worst possible effect of a clot is one person dead. The worst possible effect of not vaccinating is that person dying (as identified, at a greater rate than from clots - if the figures are accurate). And also those infected by that person. And on and on... Ironically, clots can also be a...

Now China has said (or it is claimed they have said) that no visitors will be allowed who have not had the Sinopharm vaccine.

Many years ago, I visited the Scillies and was ferried across to one of the islands on a boat with a Dunkirk plaque. Still in daily service.
