Why are we vaccinating French citizens? :confused: Hasn't he gone yet? o_O Is Greece demanding full vaccination for visitors from the UK?

Is there a special government (tory?) training camp? See a pothole and charge straight into it. Like some sort of SAS training course. Johnson's 'levelling up' council criticised as most members based in London Of 30 Build Back Better Council members, 22 are in London, but none are from Wales...

Why do we see the same poor phrasing again and again: And it stops hundreds of thousands of people from dying every year. I'd think it amazing to be able to die every year!

Reduction of infection rates after one dose is desirable but even if it simply helped to keep people out of hospital, it would be a benefit. I have not yet seen clear Israel experience of that.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine does come in multi-dose vials. UK instructions here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/948517/Information_for_Healthcare_Professionals_on_Pfizer_BioNTech.pdf

To use real numbers, each dose absolutely MUST be 0.3 mL. Each vial contains 0.45 mL. Thaw. Gently invert. Add diluent (1.8 mL sodium chloride solution). Gently invert. Draw 0.3 mL. As I see it, 0.45 plus 1.8 produces 2.25 mL. (Though maybe lightly less.) Which would allow seven doses if all...

Does it? I know many B12 self-injectors use a separate needle for drawing up from injecting. (Several reasons, including length required for the draw versus the injection, likelihood of touching base of a single dose vial and consequent blunting, and using the narrowest consistent with...

Very not good news: JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The new COVID-19 variant identified in South Africa can evade the antibodies that attack it in treatments using blood plasma from previously recovered patients, and may reduce the efficacy of the current line of vaccines, scientists said on...

I think it was resolved months ago - in the minds of Pfizer. There are five doses - anything more is just there to ensure five full doses can be retrieved from a vial. But when medics started to see what looked like a whole extra dose (even two doses on occasion), they felt it was a waste.

The finding that six doses can be obtained from vial has been reported from the USA some time ago. But I don't know whether they adjusted deliveries at all.

Stephen Crabb - our MP - actually voted against the order to abstain - along with five others. I think he can actually see a bit better than some - and knows he is unlikely to achieve true high office having blotted his copybook. He'd also be very strongly criticised as we have a lot who are...

They always are pretty dreadful. But I'd rather the singer was gaga than the president.

Yee! Haw! Ex-president...

1820 more deaths just announced. For what it is worth, a "record" high.

In general, barristers cannot act for clients they KNOW are guilty. Though it is pretty obvious that they might suspect their clients are guilty (indeed, someone thinks they are guilty, or can make some sort of a case that they are guilty, or there wouldn't have been charges and a trial). But...

None in mine.

Very odd! I have heard of Audis with two headlamp bulbs. And none (as mine). But never one!

Bizarre - the VIPs are all maskless - but their children are wearing masks! Complete inversion of what we see in supermarkets, etc.

Whatever they have been doing, how can you imply they should have been counting what Mexico itself hasn't? They don't have significant numbers of people in every country.

Looks like right now... The White House has issued invitations for a ceremony at the base, with attendees told to arrive at 7.15am and the event due to start 45 minutes later. Few details have been released about the event, but Trump is reportedly keen on a lavish affair, featuring a 21-gun...
