Now I know where the saying "There's always one" comes from

Well when you compare him to our neighbour he's run at Boris, dropped the shoulder, skinned him and smashed it into the roof of the net.

But then moron's like you find it easier to bark at the moon.

Got my first jab booked in for Tuesday and my follow-up booked in for April.

It took 3 days of ringing to get through to the booking team due to the volume of calls that they were receiving... Make of that what you will.

The Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisations (JCVI) believe both vaccines are likely to offer good enough protection with a 12 week interval between doses.

A maximum of 12 weeks between doses is what the JCVI say. Pfizer still say second at 3 weeks. MHRA say no sooner than 3 weeks.

Mark Drakeford defends decision to delay deployment of Pfizer vaccine supplies on #r4today: "There would be no point and certainly it would be logistically damaging to use up all our vaccines in the first week and have our vaccinators standing around with nothing to do."

Adjusting for age, the #COVID19 mortality rate in December was

▪️ 233.6 deaths per 100,000 people in England
▪️ 374.4 deaths per 100,000 people in Wales

this seems like cherry picking data.
I've been comparing England and Wales throughout the pandemic, and for most of it England has been higher than Wales . and I think if you look at deaths overall since the start England's rate is higher.
for a short period in December and the start of January Wales were higher

I thought it was pertinent to juxtapose those figures with Drakeford's comments that the deployment of the Pfizer vaccine in Wales is being delayed to prevent vaccinators having nothing to do if all the existing supply is used up.

So they vaccinate for half a day, stand around the rest of it so they can vaccinate the next half day and stand around the rest of the day ad infinitum. A friggin’ joke.

they aren't going to be standing around though are they as they'll just switch onto the Astra Zeneca vaccine.

Front line social care.

I just heard that they are introducing online bookings for certain professionals to help ease the burden on the phone lines too.

Not said a word about Astra Zeneca vaccine.

So what is Drakeford talking about?
