It won’t stop me having the booster vaccine and I know that there is a perception that the Pfizer is a little bit more effective than the Astra Zeneca, but it is a bit concerning that, having had two AZ vaccines, my third one is going to be Pfizer or Moderna - anyone seen anything explaining why AZ won’t be used?

Don't know if anyone's interested, but a couple of days ago, I got an answer to the question I asked which, on the face of it, makes sense.

Apparently the AZ vaccine has an effect on platelet production - it is thought that it's fine to have two AZ vaccines, but any more may become problematic.

Any response from Boris will be to pass as much responsibility as possible towards the scientists, and to highlight the success of the vaccine programme.

To be fair, although our stats don't look quite as impressive now as they once did, the UK Government does deserve credit for the vaccine program, but the worst public health failure ever is as damning an indictment as you can imagine..

It was a balance

I’m for one am thankful it hasn’t meant a future of massive taxes

I’m sure I’d have a different opinion if it was one of my loved ones dying though

All they had to do was lock down a couple of weeks earlier and the economy would have probably been in a better state than it is no without the need for the inevitable tax hike.

It wasn’t a balance it was a complete and utter **** up, we only had to look at Italy for how it would have gone.

And then the same mistake was repeated again in September/October. Even if you could forgive the initial massive **** up you can’t ignore that.
