I have been keeping track of people who have had several Covid-19 vaccines - including Moderna and Sinopharm (as well as AstraZeneca and Pfizer). Somewhere around 11-12% of those who have responded have had more of a reaction than expected (NHS considers the following possible symptoms to be...

I have just posted that he is right! Far-right. Regarding the ordering of vaccines, I think it is still difficult to be absolutely clear about why the current situation came about.

I was not taking issue with your choice. Just with your argument as presented.

And member of: Alternative for Germany (German: Alternative für Deutschland, AfD) is a German nationalist and right-wing populist political party,[5] known for its opposition to the European Union[19] and immigration.[20] It is often characterized as being on the far-right of the political...

That would only make sense if each and every member of the entire group had exactly the same risk. Quite clearly, on known factors alone, that isn't true. And who knows in what ways we might eventually be able better to assess individual risk?

The factory isn't AstraZeneca - it is Wockhardt. Simply one of the places that has the technology to fill and finish the vaccine. And, being as it is in Wrecsam, perhaps Wales should draw up export controls? :) Could easily export it directly to Ireland.

And it appears that the USA might be getting ready to join...

All depends if we have to pay whether we take the doses or not. The suppliers could end up re-selling to other customers and doing very nicely, thank you.

Round here there are several llamas, alpacas or whatever precise variant! Makes a very pleasant change to sheep. I read of some research but interesting to read this: In the search for Covid protection, Cormac the 'extremely charismatic' llama may hold a key The llama has provided nanobodies...

Even if they revealed quantities, there is more to it. It is at least conceivable that we have all the actual vaccine we need. But each batch needs to be checked by the MHRA, "finished" into vials, distributed. Further, they would want to have enough to cover contingencies such as lorry loads...

Mark Drakeford was very clear that the decision is contingent on how cases/infections change between now and then. Was actually a pleasant surprise to hear him on R4 - not just Welsh stations.

Interesting developments: Brexit: EU introduces controls on vaccines to NI The EU has temporarily overridden a section of the Northern Ireland Brexit deal as part of its export controls on coronavirus vaccines. The EU is introducing export controls on vaccines made in the bloc, amid a row...

Not so wonderful. There again, anything "Johnson" tends to be at best disappointing. Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine is 66% effective in global trial, but 85% effective against severe disease, company says https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/29/health/johnson-coronavirus-vaccine-results/index.html
