that's true but you are comparing UK government against a few bureaucrats sitting in an office in Brussels. They can't splash the cash like Bojo can.

the bar is set so low . They pay £12.58 for each jab. Easy money for a lot of businesses besides doctors surgeries. Someone in the know said that the NHS alone could inject the whole population in less than a week if the doses are ready. Yet, they only managed less than 10% while claiming to...

I have the impression that the UK government uses the R for propaganda. Thay may explain why they avoid calling it R0. It's widely accepted that R0 represents how many people an average person with a virus infects. The infection cycle is about a 5 days-10 days, so it can be approximate to about...

bbc news: one invited specialist reported that fake news (US election, QAnon) reduced by 73% since Twitter and Facebook closed DT's account. Parler moves to Russia. Now it's pretty clear which country benefits from fake news.

there could well be a simple explanation. The new variant is being replaced by an even newer variant.

I got the numbers from Pfizer's papers. Their subjects got regularly tested. The main thing is the notion of relative risk in immunology. That transcends the individual differences...

the cohorts used in the trials do not contain much of our top priority (over 80) group. If you agree that 4 our of 5 deaths at present still among our top priority tiers 1 and 2 then mathematically, you should protect them with two jabs. The mitigation strategy 1 jab followed by 12 weeks wait...

it's clear enough if you want to look into it.

Pfizer split the cohort into two groups, group 1 receives the vaccine, group 2 receives a placebo. 170 people from the cohort contracted Covid. 8 from group 1, 162 from group 2. The relative risk RR is thus: 8/162 = 4.93% Efficacy = 1 - RR = 95%.

we'll know in a couple of months how many die after one jab. My view is clear: the second jab produces a much stronger immune response, more than twice that of the first jab. If you have the Pfizer vaccine, that is 95%/3 = 32% protection for the first jab plus 63% for the second jab. If you have...

the vaccine people didn't say that. I don't know where you got the 90% from. They would be lucky to get half the protection that two jabs give. I did post the 4 typical antibodies profiles after someone gets the first jab then the second jab. There are a few steps that the immune system has to...

UK may terminate AD643 and AS646. As you said, they accepted the argument before then changed their mind. They may change again. Electric bicycles AD643 China Terminate Electric bicycles AS646 China Terminate http://brexitlegal.ie/trade-remedies-2021-uk-guidance/

but the choice is not 90% in both though. It's 50% in each or 100% in one. If I had to, I'll put 100% in one car and use that one.

it's not surprising. We destroy ancient forests, get closer to wild animals by butchering and eating them, giving their viruses a far greater chance hitting us. Zoonosis.

the DIT have to transition all anti-dumping measures but they will have to be revised sooner or later.

My guess is if a few people get hospitalised after their first jab, then the government would stop extending the wait for the second jab.

one jab is better than none but there is a danger that people may be lulled into false sense of security. On the face of it: the AZ vaccine offers already less protection than the Pfizer vaccine, one dose instead of two halves that, you get close to the usual level of risk of no vaccine -...

Netflix has a film, 'Carbon', inspired from a real event. Fraudsters netted £133 billions (133 billions, 133,000,000,000. No, it's not a mistake) from the EU in VAT by the same faulty rule. HMRC cracks down on gangs over renewable energy VAT fraud | HMRC | The Guardian

there will always be some who would rather die than be assimilated. Eamonn de Valera would rather choose partition than losing the Irish language.

Chinese bikes are subject to unjust anti-dumping. 85% on top of the landed cost of the bike. 10% is fair but 85%? Now we have left the customs union, anti-dumping measures have to be revised and likely removed soon. Another area that has been a thorn in my foot for years: EU VAT rules for...
