Ooooh has our Tony got a point.

Ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair is urging the government to give as many people as possible an initial dose of a Covid vaccine - rather than preserving stocks so there is enough for second jabs.

Good old Tony. Perhaps he's forgotten that the license as issued by the MHRA is for use of the vaccine as proven in trials ie two doses at regulated interval between first and final dose. To use as he suggested would probably be 'off license use' therefore the person authorising would be responsible for any problems occurring.

Surprised that a lawyer would make such off the cuff comments. There again there was a rumour that he talked up that Saddam had enough firepower to make him threat to our security.

I am sure that there could be a number of reasons why Blair's idea would fall foul of practical reasons and MHRA processes. Surely WMD wouldn't be one of them though unless you were, what's the phrase, "playing with politics" of course.

Look Lisvane Blue rubbished the idea on its origin not its merits. I don't know whether it's crazy to give part immunisation to lots more people than almost total immunisation in two doses to fewer people to get a better quicker result. What I do know is that because its author screwed up as a politician by supporting a ridiculous US Neo-Con agenda doesn't make it stupid. The re-appraisal of the vaccines in a single dose is obviously a factor but it will probably fail on the "not invented here principle".

Who knows, i'd be interested to know what scientific evidence Blair has to back up his claim. How effective and for how long would one shot be? And how soon after would people need the second shot, or would that go back to being the first shot, as the one before had expired. So many questions..
