It isn't really out of step with makers' figures for first half dose protection though: Pfizer = 52% Astra-Zeneca = up to 62% It all adds up to the advisability of getting the second dose at the right time to get the 90%+ protection, not waiting 3 to 3.5 months for it. An awful lot of...

Indeed, but this extract is worrying though: "Last week’s health ministry figures may provide further concern for the UK policy. It showed that 42% of Israel’s 834 critically ill patients had already received one shot of the Pfizer vaccine. That figure dropped to 2% after the second jab."...

Utter nonsense. The politicians did speak of Herd Immunity as a goal and PV had the opportunity to say it was undesirable but kept his mouth shut on that as a good government lackey should. And once again you are being dishonest. When posting on the Swedish approach and always elswhere, I...

But you aren't discussing, you are just closing your mind as usual to any balance of views on the facts: Fact 1: Some of the government scientists actually backed the herd immunity idea when supporting the government. That is what justifies me calling them lackeys. And I'm not alone, Woosh...

Not so. The governments scientific lackeys who do as they are told by their paymaster have said that. The manufacturers of the best vaccines on safety grounds have disagreed and refuse to support that. I also disagree personally on very sound statistical grounds which the lackeys are...

Yes, it will be a timing option in my region, and many others. That's because we've been all Pfizer here so large numbers given the Pfizer first dose, so the Pfizer will return to use here for periods for their second doses. Timing my first jab request online to co-incide, on the website I've...

If it was the other way round, Ursula Von Der Leyen would be our Prime Minister and Boris would be President of the European Commission. :p I wish ! .

I don't drink any alcohol so no post vaccine risk to me there ! Only through yet another blasted App, not on that website. .

What makes you think that is worth anything? Firstly it's only partial, but only continuing subject to getting a second jab within 28 days, but that isn't going to happen. I've been told it will be 12 weeks, almost four times that and that isn't on the basis of any evidence whatsover. Indeed...

To a considerable extent that is what has happened, worldwide. Vaccines of this sort typically take around ten years to develop for total safety. These have been rushed out within a year with incomplete testings and now being risked as judged to be the lesser of two evils. But it's a big...

That is untrue as I now know with what I'm suffering after the first AZ jab. I was allowed to leave immediately on condition that I was not driving. The reason for that soon became clear as I found it increasingly difficult to focus my mind. With my jab at 9.20am, as that Friday wore on I...

Muslims say animals can be used, but there cannot be any animal component in the vaccine. It's the animal rights brigade who won't allow any animal use. .

No worries on that front, given the drug companies greed. They'll go for the minimum 2.3 billion doses the EU represents, with the follow up of the EU member's largesse for poorer countries. That's why the USA you mentioned as doing well, nothing to do with Trump, just size. .

As I said, your fault. .

It's all they have in their toolbox thanks to those with anti EU feelings. .

You are doing it again, will you never learn? The EU isn't a country so won't be vaccinating anyone, so how could it compete with any country? At the moment it is a only a co-ordinating organisation for its member countries, but has ambitions to one day be a single federal country of Europe...

It's the EU that has taken the lead, they said at the outset that they intend to work towards the vaccines being available everywhere in the world. .

The only things I know similar to this is that the EU, having secured guarantees on 2.3 billion doses, is leaving it to member states to decide on their own priority groups to establish the order of people getting the vaccines intheir country. Should all vaccines candidates turn out to be safe...

It certainly is, £4106 for every man woman and child in the UK. Or put another way, £11,061 for every full time worker. Ouch ! .

They said 12 weeks at the centre. The official leaflet they gave me says 3 to 12 weeks. 12 weeks will be awkward around here since both the Pfizer and AZ 12/14 weeks second jabs will be overlapping in April which is when the next Pfizer consignment arrives. It means they'll be handling the...
