    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Once again they have not said that, I quote yet again: "it does not protect people infected with the variant against mild to moderate Covid" You can't just add words as you have by including moderate which is specifically excluded in their statement. Or using the word symptoms as you did...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    No, no, no, it does not mean that at all. If it's not strong enough to protect against mild or moderate, it's not going to have anything like strong enough protection against a severe infection of the SA variant. I have not said that it would, nor did the source announcement. From that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is not what was said, thats the edited UK version, propaganda intended to deceive. This is the truth: "A study carried out by Oxford and Astra Zeneca together with the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa shows that it does not protect people infected with the variant against mild...

    No chain and infinite gears - Oyo e-bike with hydraulic drivetrain

    Thanks Woosh, that's reminded me of the full name, Mando Footloose. There are occasions when hydraulic drive makes sense. For example the German Linde fork lift trucks have it working well, but it only makes sense there because hydraulic drive is necessary anyway for all the fork lift and...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yet again you are being irrational, the second jab improves some aspects of the AZ performance. We've made it clear we are unhappy with the now proven limited effectiveness of the AZ first jab as well as the other uncertainties with age. Hopefully their researchers will stop their media...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They are being cautious, Britain decided to gamble it would be ok. That may have been justified when the decision was taken, but now we know the AZ is ineffective against the South African variant that's already here, we should stop using it on the rest of the older groups and have them wait...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You mean like the EU delay? Not fact and not true: "The study involved more than 2,000 people with an average age of 31, which means they were relatively young and at lower risk. So scientists cannot yet be certain the protection remains against serious disease, but they think it’s likely."...

    No chain and infinite gears - Oyo e-bike with hydraulic drivetrain

    You don't, and that's why all the alternatives over time have failed. This hydraulic one is a variant on the all electric one with dynamo at the crank driving a rear hub motor. That's disappeared without trace and I can't even remember the make now. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That really is nonsense Zlatan, of course she doesn't know and is being honest in saying so. If she knew when due to her position she would be receiving a favour over the rest of the population awaiting their notification. Favours for the elite is the British way, like Boris's father getting...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They may be the luckiest ones and indeed are more likely to be with the latest news. Getting their jabs later makes it likely theirs will be fully effective against the resistant new strains. Not only that, many of the newer vaccines are likely to be single dose for full effectiveness so less...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, they initially reported 52% from their trials, Since then there's been so much propaganda that the facts tend to get buried. I'm also sure some of the less convenient things like deaths after the jab are being concealed to maintain public confidence in the way the pandemic is being...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, but as much by obfuscation and vagueness than direct lying. I don't believe this bit for one moment: "In a major vindication of government policy, the study also found that the vaccine is more effective overall if the second dose is delayed from 28 days until 90 days." It directly...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Don't be so easily satisfied by carefully reworded news reporting which is obvious confuscation. This is the actual position in both the human trials and tests on the blood of those vaccinated: “A two-dose regimen of [the vaccine] did not show protection against mild-moderate Covid-19 due to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You're going to the extreme of the vaccine not working at all. I was considering it being less effective than claimed and government playing for time. This is happening anyway. Over the last week or two we've heard constant reassurances that the vaccines are coping well with the new variants...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They could, after all the NHS are only applying it, the policy is their boss's, the government. Begging the question, why would the government keep it going if it didn't work? Perhaps reassuring the public that they are making progress, while hoping that the continuing growth in the infected...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'd no sooner posted that cautionary note than the bad news started coming in on the news. The AZ scientists have confirmed that their vaccine only offers limited protection against very mild cases of the South African variant that's here now, and that concurs with what the other vaccine makers...

    The variations between individuals can often change when medicines should be taken One of my two when taken at the normal times and dosages has actually made me dangerously ill times, even at risk of death through heart attack, but taken at a very different time and in a very different dosage...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I like the idea of that, but I'm not so confident the reduction would be that quick since there's still so many variables. We don't even know how long lasting the various vaccine protections are, nor how each will perform with the extended gaps between first and second doses and of course the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's my borough of Croydon, not London generally. It's not a problem though, we've long had a sub group of the population who go around hurting each other. That's no bother for the well over 90% of us who are unaffected and in killing each other it's self limiting. .
