I think the aim, and it is a perfectly reasonable one, is to stop people getting really ill and in dosing as many people as possible they will help relieve pressure on hospitals.
My concern is that this has no data during trials, and so we may find countries (just UK at present) advocating a longer schedule have a lower efficacy than other countries. This could potentially mean us having to revaccinate much earlier than necessary. Potentially of course, it is also potentially possible that this turns out to work fine.
Yet again hes late in taking action. Hancock was pathetic on TV this morning.
I wonder if football will stop soon?
The British Boxing Board have taken action and events suspended for a month.
Time for football to take action as well.?
Drakeford was slagged off not long ago , looks like his lockdown was right and 2xweeks before everyone else
There is evidence that the Oxford vaccine will do OK with up to a 12 week window between jabs. Also evidence is that after 1 dose even those who got Covid didn't need hospitalisation.
The Pfizer vaccine is different in that there is no evidence how or if a 12 week gap between jabs will work. No one knows how long immunity lasts after one jab because in trials a second dose was given after 3 weeks.
If Pfizer turned up at the MHRA with their trial data and asked if it could be approved to give a second dose after 12 weeks, they would be shown the door and told to come back when they have some evidence of effectiveness
Nightingale Hospitals.
Thought I'd just 'say' it, because no-one's bothered to on the mainstream media
Attachment 4242
saw this in the FT and thought it was interesting
Schools were perfectly safe to go to on the first day of the new term but so unsafe they are closed for the second day and for the foreseeable.What a shambles.
Margaret Ferrier has been arrested and charged by police for her widely reported Covid rules breaches that led to the SNP suspending her - almost 14 weeks after she did the deed!

That is incredibly slow - and given how high profile the incidents were it doesn't do much for clear messages and deterrence!
It’s going to take forever to vaccinate everyone from what I can gather....all year probably

I hope to **** they’re being pessimistic.
Johnson said he hopes to have everyone over 70 plus I believe all care workers
etc vaccinated by mid Feb.
If they fail miserably to deliver this then I think thats it just resign.
Lets hope this roll out is quick and the delay to the 2nd dose proves the right one.
Yes. The WG havent made the same sort of targets . Think Gethin said Wales should be up to the same levels as the rest of the UK.I think ive read Johnsons target would be 13m. Maybe wrong.
Gethin and Drakeford need to be up to speed at a minimum with the rest of the UK.
If Johnson delivers this and the WG are miles off then serious questions will be asked and maybe time for them to go.
Couldnt hold them to account if Johnson is miles off again though and the WG are up to the same sort of speed.
They all need to get this done as quick and effectively as possible. But please no more rubbish.
Lets hope Johnson delivers his target and the WG are as they say up to the same level.
